Every year 17th March is commemorated as World Sleep Day, recognizing and calling for global action to organize sleep health awareness activities. For 2023, World Sleep Day highlights the theme ‘Sleep is Essential for Health’ delivering a global message on how sleep is vital to overall general well-being and individual mental and physical health. The bohemian hideaway of The Nautilus Maldives is aiding guests in this cause by introducing the ‘Slumber Ritual’ designed to promote better sleep at night.
With travel demands evolving over time, Sleep Tourism is gaining popularity among travellers, especially with the increased stress that people have to endure in their daily lives hindering sleep cycles. Research has shown that sleep deprivation soared during the pandemic, owing to the amplification of multiple mental health issues as people spend weeks and months confined in small spaces without the freedom of a peaceful mind.
As such, an escape to the ultra-luxe hideaway of The Nautilus Maldives is a welcoming invitation for many guests where time stands still with the leisure to be free and do any activity including sleep. At the shores of The Nautilus, guests are encouraged to relax, unplug and be untethered to the stresses of their daily lives while partaking in activities they like day and night. The Nautilus Slumber Ritual adds another bespoke offering for guests to make use of as a complimentary turndown service on the evening of World Sleep Day.
Performed by The Nautilus’s house masters, guests embarking on the ritual can initially start off with a hot bath filled with Omorovicza bath salts which helps soothe tired muscles and promote blood circulation. Following the indulgent bath, guests can enjoy a warm pot of herbal floral tea with a cup of mixed nuts, awaiting at their bedside. When guests return from their dinner, they can expect a sleep-inducing ambience infused with lavender scent and calming music lullabying in the background. With the mood set in place for a good night's sleep, guests can fall asleep blissfully, tucked away comfortably in their heavenly beds.
Those who wish to elevate their slumber journey further can head to the Solasta Spa where a 2-day slumber ritual is recommended to improve sleep quality. Priced at USD 455++ per guest per day, the suite of treatments offered by the spa includes body polis, restorative yoga and body massages which can be arranged in the comforts of their house or residence at the resort too.
The Nautilus Maldives’ exclusive 26 ultra-private beach and overwater houses and residences are known to exude the comforts of home, aligning with the brand’s hallmarks. A sense of space presides over all its accommodations, providing complete privacy for guests to be whomever they want. Moreover, these suite-style sanctuaries are all united in providing picturesque landscapes of the Maldives.
