This recognition highlights the new strides the 62,000-square-foot Maxx Wellbeing Center has made in 2026, celebrating the SPA’s dedicated wellness approach focused on nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing, and underscoring Maxx Royal Bodrum’s renewed commitment to holistic health practices. 

Instead of seeing longevity as a medical or optimization-driven goal, Maxx Royal Bodrum approaches it as an integral aspect of daily living. This year, the Maxx Wellbeing Center moved toward an integrative wellness framework using Ayurvedic principles, such as rhythm, balance, digestion, and seasonal alignment, to shape the guest experience without strict labels or diagnoses, keeping the offering inclusive, globally relevant, and guest-friendly

“Receiving this recognition for the third year in a row reflects our team’s commitment to continually improving our guest experience by adopting a more holistic, Ayurvedic-inspired approach focused on emotional wellbeing and nervous system balance. For us, longevity isn’t about chasing complicated medical goals. It’s about creating sustainable habits, finding balance, and building a daily rhythm that feels natural,” said Nazan Özkan, Maxx Royal Bodrum and Maldives SPA Director.
