Maldives – June 14, 2025 – Surrounded by the calming rhythm of the Indian Ocean, travelers looking to recharge their mind and body found the perfect setting in the Maldives, as Marriott Bonvoy’s collection of private island resorts marked Global Wellness Day with a series of thoughtful, rejuvenating experiences. In line with this year’s theme, #ReconnectMagenta, the day encouraged guests to pause, reflect, and reconnect — with themselves, loved ones, and nature.
From sunrise yoga and sound healing to creative workshops and nourishing meals, each resort curated a distinct wellness journey inspired by its location and philosophy.
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands transformed its lush Mystique Garden into a peaceful space for couples’ yoga beneath the swaying palms. Guests also explored the art of movement with an Aerial Hoop class, and later, took part in a hands-on facial sculpting session using Gua Sha massage techniques at the resort’s spa. The day wrapped up with calming Floor Pilates, all set against the backdrop of the island’s natural beauty.
JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort invited guests to begin their day with a serene Qigong session and a silent gratitude walk at sunrise. Led by holistic expert Stephanie Hoo, the experience continued with an aromatherapy spray-making workshop using local botanicals. As evening approached, guests participated in a tranquil breathwork, journaling, and meditative sound healing ritual, creating a deep sense of inner alignment by the ocean.
Meanwhile, at JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa, guests embarked on a complimentary three-day wellness journey guided by renowned healer Dr. Lisa Schuster. From morning sound bathing to sunset meditations, each session took place in nature-inspired settings, combining traditional techniques with modern practices. The program encouraged reflection and renewal, drawing on Dr. Schuster’s holistic approach to healing.
W Maldives brought its own vibrant spin to the day with a Recharge Ritual. Guests started with yoga on the overwater deck of AWAY® Spa and continued with a custom spa treatment. A wellness-focused lunch highlighted fresh, local flavors, followed by a fun healthy dessert masterclass. Sunset yoga on FIRE Beach created a perfect close, capped with a surprise in-villa wellness turndown that embodied the resort’s playful spirit.
On the western edge of the Maldives, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort focused its activities around the brand’s signature wellness pillars: Feel Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well, and Play Well. The day began with a visit to Anhenfushi Island’s Hydroponic Farm, where guests explored sustainable farming and enjoyed a live cooking demo. Back at the resort, the program continued with yoga, water volleyball, beach fitness, and a traditional Boreh-making class. The day concluded with a tranquil night meditation under the stars.
At Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, the emphasis was on community and connection. Guests gathered for morning yoga and meditation on Kakuni Beach, followed by energetic cardio aerobics at the main pool. Over lunch in Furana Garden, wellness took on a social flavor as stories were shared. The celebration ended with a peaceful session of sunset yoga on Anchorage Beach, highlighting the beauty of togetherness in a natural setting.
