Meghavi Wellness, one of India’s largest family spa chains, has announced the opening of its third Air SpaLounge inside Mumbai International Airport (T2). Located near Gate 47 in the departures terminal in International Level 4, this new facility offers international travellers a mix of Indian herbal therapies and global massage favourites in a spa environment designed exclusively for flyers in transit.

Meghavi Wellness opens a new Air SpaLounge at Mumbai T2 (Level 4) offering specialized therapies for flyers in transit

The Air SpaLounge introduces passengers to a resort-style menu that spans from 20-minute quick relief services to three-hour long-haul recovery sessions. Services include herbal potli therapy, hot stone, warm bamboo, Swedish, Balinese, and deep tissue massages, alongside beauty and grooming essentials such as facials, anti-ageing treatments, body polish, and traditional champi head massage.

For travellers seeking non-touch therapies, the lounge also features vibro-acoustic chairs and compression boot therapies to relieve fatigue and improve circulation. The facility includes exclusive couple rooms, private shower pods, and therapy suites designed to combine comfort, privacy, and efficiency for passengers on tight layovers.

Prashant Jain, Co-Founder, Meghavi Wellness

“We see Meghavi’s role as leading a mindset shift in how people view wellness and self-care. What was once seen as an indulgence is now becoming an essential part of health, fitness, and family wellbeing. Through our national family membership, we’ve created an all-access model that allows members to use the same wellness hours across 55 city outlets and 5 Air SpaLounges in 15 cities from hotels and clubs to airports.

The idea is to make wellness infrastructure as accessible as a gym or coffee chain, but with deeper purpose. Our Air SpaLounges extend that same vision into airports, turning waiting time into recovery time. This is what we call transit wellness a redefinition of how travelers experience rest, balance, and self-care while on the move. Ultimately, Meghavi stands for making self-care a healthy, habitual ritual for the modern Indian family and the global traveler alike.”

Sujith C, CEO, Meghavi Wellness

“India’s wellness sector is expanding rapidly, and it is time we showcase our capabilities on a global stage. With Air SpaLounges in Mumbai and Bhopal already running successfully, this new launch marks another step in building world-class wellness infrastructure for international flyers. We will be opening our fifth Air SpaLounge soon, and with our national family membership model, travellers can now access both city spas and airport lounges with a single Wellness Passport.“

Megha Dinesh, Co-Founder, Meghavi Wellness

“Building the three Air SpaLounges at Mumbai T2 tested every aspect of execution from airport constraints and multi-stakeholder coordination to airside security and sleepless nights that made the terminal my second home. We have created a haat of cultures, reflecting Wellness as a Celebration – Scandinavian warmth, Japanese Zen, and India’s soulful textures built with natural stone, textured paints, and rustic brick. For travellers, where Travel wellness is under served, time is currency and space a lever, we designed express services with therapeutic outcomes, frictionless check-ins, touch to machine based therapies and quick showers. The bigger vision was always productising Indian wellness into lounges and memberships formats that are consistent, scalable, and exportable.”

Why It Matters for Travelers

• Location: Inside T2 Departures International Level 4, near Gate 47 – no need to leave the terminal

• Flexibility: Options from short breaks to extended wellness sessions

• Privacy: Dedicated rooms and shower suites for comfort and convenience

• Accessibility: Walk-in access; no advance booking required

The Air SpaLounge model is part of a growing international trend where airport downtime is being reimagined as recovery time. Similar lounges are already operating at Mumbai’s domestic terminals and in Bhopal, with further expansion underway at other Indian airports.

For passengers, this addition means that long waits, tight connections, or late-night departures can now include the opportunity to reset, refresh, and prepare for the journey ahead without leaving the airport.

‘No family should face their childs medical journey alone’. This powerful belief has driven Ronald McDonald House, for five decades to create havens for millions of families across 62 countries. Today, this commitment reaches a historic milestone in India. The country’s first Ronald McDonald House opens in Mumbai, offering a home away from home for families of children undergoing medical treatment, bringing hope, comfort, and community support to families when they need it most.

India’s first Ronald McDonald House opens in Mumbai, offering a home away from home for families of children undergoing medical treatment

The Ronald McDonald House was inaugurated by Advocate Ashish Shelar, Honble Minister for Information Technology, Government of Maharashtra, in the presence of distinguished dignitaries including Mr. Bhushan Gagrani, Honble Municipal Commissioner, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Dr. Kailash Sharma, Dean Projects, Academic, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, and Smita Jatia, Chairwoman, Ronald McDonald House India. The ceremony marked an important milestone in bringing this crucial support facility to families in need.

This state-of-the-art home is all set to support families traveling to Mumbai from across Maharashtra and neighbouring states for their childrens medical journeys. Strategically located in Mahim (West), close to leading paediatric hospitals, the 3,200 sq. ft. facility features 16 fully furnished private rooms and can support more than 500 families annually. Families will be provided with complimentary accommodation, nutritious meals, hospital transport, counselling and 24/7 support from dedicated staff, enabling them to focus entirely on their child’s recovery. It will have shared amenities include a communal kitchen, play areas, and spaces designed to foster connection and comfort during the most difficult times.

The House was inaugurated by Adv Ashish Shelar, Honble IT Minister, Maharashtra Govt., Bhushan Gagrani, Honble Municipal Commissioner, BMC, Dr. Kailash Sharma, Dean Projects, Academic, Tata Memorial Hospital

Smita Jatia, Chairwoman, Ronald McDonald House India said, “This is truly a historic moment for us at the Ronald McDonald House. Since we began our journey with our first Family Room at the BJ Wadia Hospital in 2016, we have dreamed of opening a Ronald McDonald House in India. With this first house, we are turning that dream into reality, ensuring families find strength, comfort, and community when they need it most. This house symbolizes our commitment to standing by such families, every step of the way. When a child is ill, the entire family needs support. This house provides a nurturing environment where families can find respite, share experiences with others on similar journeys, and build a network of care. We believe that families heal better together, and this house embodies that belief in every aspect of its design and operation.”

Advocate Ashish Shelar, Hon’ble Minister for Information Technology, Government of Maharashtra said, “Being part of the BMC for years, I have seen the struggle that the patients and their families suffer. When we see many patients who travel from a long distance, from any part of rural Maharashtra, the kind of charges one has to pay to have a room is often unaffordable. We have seen many parents who block their space on the footpath by putting their belongings there, since there is no choice. This Ronald McDonald House is fulfilling this demand with magnanimity of heart and genuine kindness, and I must congratulate it. I appreciate that you have named it a house. That warmth, that kindness, and this approach itself are evident in calling it a house. This is a role model for many who want to be generous and kind to humankind.”

For families traveling long distances for treatment, the challenge of finding safe, affordable accommodation in Mumbai is often overwhelming. “Every morning, we travel hours to reach the hospital. We often have no choice but to wait outside the hospital, sitting on the pavement with our belongings. Many nights we had no safe place to sleep, and my younger child would go without food or shelter while we focused on treatment. A facility like this House means we no longer have to worry about the basics. We can finally give all our energy and attention to our child’s healing,” shared one parent whose experience reflects that of countless families.

Ronald McDonald House model eases burden of accommodation, meals and transportation by allowing parents to stay close, maintain routines, and build support networks with other families on similar journeys. Global studies have shown that such proximity contributes significantly to a child’s healing and recovery.

The Mumbai House builds on Ronald McDoanld House India’s growing footprint. Since 2016, its Family Rooms at BJ Wadia Hospital, Mumbai and Government Cancer Hospital, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar have already supported thousands of families. With this landmark opening, Ronald McDonald House India sets its sights on an ambitious 2030 vision to establish 3 Family Rooms and 5 Houses across 5 cities, transforming the healing journey for thousands more Indian families. The launch of India’s first Ronald McDonald House is not just about infrastructure, it is about creating spaces where families find hope, strength, and the power to heal together.
