Ex-Designer Travel agent launches wellness agency
Former Designer Travel agent Lizzie Adamson-Brown has launched a wellness and longevity-focused agency. Rhythm & Routes will offer clients “personalised travel experiences”
designed to “enhance health span, vitality, transformation and wellbeing” through expert-led programmes focused on sleep optimisation, breathwork, nature-led rituals and blue-zone experiences, inspired by destinations that boast exceptional longevity. The agency features a Longevity Directory – a collection of 140 vetted
hotels and suppliers worldwide offering expert-led and reputable wellness programmes and treatments. The directory was created in partnership with trauma therapist and
life coach Dianne Lewis. Together, Adamson-Brown and Lewis will offer clients expert guidance and bespoke wellness travel recommendations. Adamson-Brown was a homeworker at Designer Travel for two years
before deciding to “hone her niche” and offer a concierge-led service. Prior to this, she spent 10 years at Travel Counsellors.

Maldives hotel unveils Blue Mind retreat BodyHoliday Algarve
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort has partnered with conservation charity The Manta Trust to introduce a wellness package inspired by the Blue Mind Theory. This science-backed principle refers to the positive mental state experienced when near or under water. The package includes overwater meditation, guided seafront yoga sessions, bespoke spa treatments, snorkelling with manta rays and dinner under the stars. Together the treatments and activities are designed to “induce relaxation, support
circadian balance and lower anxiety”. The Manta Trust project manager Meral Hafeez said: “Feeling a sense of awe increases
our sense of wellbeing and makes us feel more connected to the world around us.”

The brand’s signature health and fitness programmes will also be available. To lead the expansion, parent company SunSwept Resorts has appointed a global leadership team. Chief executive Andrew Barnard said: “We’ve always believed that true wellness should feel intuitive, rooted in body awareness rather than routine. It’s about longevity through personalisation, not prescription. Our expansion into Portugal embodies that same philosophy, creating an oasis that invites guests to discover joy, reignite passion and restore balance.”
