With the World Wellness Weekend (WWW) coming soon, this award-winning has arranged for specially made services and activities for their guests. WWW defines wellness based on five pillars – Sleep & Creativity, Nutrition & Immunity, Vitality & Movement, Serenity & Mindfulness, and Purpose & Solidarity.
It is in partnership with United Nations Global Sustainability Index Institute and will be encouraging venues, groups, associations, federations, visitors’ bureaus, and city officials to organize free, fun, and creative wellness activities on the 3rd weekend of September.
Group Wellness Director of Duniye Spa, Renate Hermes, who believes that the Maldives is a natural wellness heaven said, “The unique natural environment combined with a strategic approach to developing an island-inspired wellness experience that leaves our guests feeling inspired, empowered, and mostly with peace of mind. That can be expressed in a ‘soft’ or wellness “light” approach. An invitation to explore lifestyle options in a joyful, free, unpretentious way.
“Paying tribute to the local Maldivian culture and its innate healing and wellness practices is another focus island wellness can contribute to the guest experience and promote wellbeing in an authentic way.
“I think it’s important to remain authentic and true to the core of what wellness is about. At its core wellness is about the personal choice to opt into a preventive, health and happiness affirming lifestyle, individually and collectively.
“However in the dynamic business landscape of wellness tourism, we shall stay attuned to the fast-changing landscape of the wellness industry and consumer demands. Amongst many other areas the domain of mental wellbeing and health becomes increasingly prevailing.”
Duniye Spa has the goal of supporting the global wellness movement in order to raise awareness along with the current standards of the wellness services and programs that are available to the public within the hospitality industry.
To address the five pillars of wellness, the spa has tailormade activities with 12 other spas in resorts all across the Maldives.
