Mantra will be curating local wellness talent (teacher, chefs, musicians, etc.) and developing customized programs across Selina's global and diversified hotel system, be it deep in the desert, the jungle or any number of Selina’s cool, urban locations.
Selina is proud to champion a brand like Mantra and to be at the forefront of this evolution in global travel and retreat experiences.
