Guests of the luxurious Nobu Ryokan Malibu will have a new way to unwind and relax this summer, thanks to the hotel's recently launched partnership with Higher DOSE. As part of the partnership, guests will have access to two of the wellness technology brand most popular products – their Infrared PEMF mat and their Infrared sauna blanket – to use at their leisure in their room. The goal: to provide access to HigherDOSE's “high-tech longevity” devices in the comfort and privacy of Nobu's oceanfront suites.
Higher DOSE
While HigherDOSE has worked with wellness centers And spas in the past Nobu Ryokan Malibu was one of the few handful of hotel partners for the brand (other locations include 11 Howardand select 1 hotel and Mounting properties). Indeed, Nobu Malibu feels like an ideal setting for the HigherDOSE recovery products, as the 16-room Japanese-inspired property is known as a tranquil retreat in bustling Southern California.
On a recent visit, guests stretched out on their private balconies on the HigherDOSE PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) mat, which uses gentle waves to work with your body's natural magnetic fields. Unlike a facial device or massage gunThe pulsations are barely noticeable, and combined with the lapping waves of the Pacific Ocean below, the mat was a perfect way to unwind under the Malibu sun.
Higher DOSE
HigherDOSE says the PEMF mat helps with everything relief from sore muscles and stressto boosting energy and mood (the on-demand room service from the Nobu Restaurant next door certainly helped too).
The infrared sauna blanketMeanwhile, it was a great way to end the day after a light workout and jog on the sand (Nobu Ryokan guests have private beach access, in addition to a private pool and full on-site gym). Harnessing the power of infrared heat, the blanket is used by many guests to detox, but it also promises to speed muscle recovery and improve circulation for better skin health and restful sleep.
In addition to requesting HigherDOSE products in the room, Nobu hotel guests can also request the new Ryokan Wellness Package, which includes a 90-minute massage, and a relaxing bath ritual with HigherDOSE bath salts (also known as their “Serotonin soak“) that you can take home with you. According to the brand, the bath soak is formulated with magnesium flakes that help “relax your mind, improve your mood, and recalibrate your system.”
