Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa introduces a new pampering babymoon package for mothers-to-be

Maldives.net.mv – Pregnancy can be a stressful time for mothers-to-be, affecting both the body and mind which is why luxury five-star hotel, Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, is inviting parents-to-be to unwind and relax together at this romantic and secluded destination, with the new Babymoon package, making the most of the quiet time before their new member of the family arrives.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa’s new six-day Babymoon offering has been specially designed to prepare, relax and reinvigorate mothers-to-be, with pampering treatments taking place at the hotel’s luxurious Vindhun Spa. Hidden amongst lush Maldivian gardens in the heart of the resort’s private island, the Vindhun Spa is serene and private, with professional and experienced spa therapists who go to every effort to ensure they deliver an authentic and relaxing Maldivian experience for all guests.
Embarking on the first day of this six-day pampering journey, mothers-to-be are applied the Vindhun Spa’s signature scent on arrival, designed to refresh and revitalise, as well as being offered a fresh coconut to drink, the national fruit of the Maldives, for rehydration purposes.
Treatments can take place in one of the spa’s five treatment villas, all boasting beautifully made thatched roofs, or can be enjoyed in the privacy of guests’ own villas. On the first day of the Babymoon package, mothers-to-be are invited to enjoy the soothing benefits of a complimentary mineral salt foot scrub to stimulate nerve endings, before the specially created pregnancy massage begins. Focusing on the legs, arms, back and shoulders the Vindhun spa pregnancy massage increases circulation and removes the aches and pains brought about through pregnancy.
Using Maldivian indigenous healing knowledge and freshly harvested local herbs, the Vindhun spa therapists are experts in reinvigorating mind, body and spirit, helping to prepare mothers-to-be for the imminent big change in their lives. Following any Babymoon package treatment, guests are invited to relax in the shaded and beautiful tropical gardens that surround the Vindhun spa where they will be served refreshing herbal teas and sorbets.
For those mothers-to-be in need of some gentle activity during their holiday, the Babymoon package offers a special Aqua yoga class on the second day of this journey, taught by a highly trained yogic teacher. The class is designed to have a calming yet energising effect on the body, and takes place in the Vindhun Spa’s own spectacular infinity pool, shaded by the exotic plants. Supported in the calm warm water during this thirty minute class, mothers-to-be will find that they are more flexible and confident than before.
To ensure expectant mothers are feeling thoroughly relaxed and pampered throughout their holiday, on the third day of the package they will enjoy a gentle head and shoulder massage. This signature treatment from the qualified therapists at the Vindhun Spa uses pressured circular motions to remove tension in the shoulders, which become tight in times of stress, and harness the natural healing and moisturising properties of the natural massage oils used by the spa. The gentle head massage is a calming and restful experience, aimed at assisting with sleep and reducing anxiety.
Guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy a private pregnancy yoga and breathing class on the fourth day of the Babymoon package. This one hour private session can take place in the resort’s purpose built yoga studio or in the seclusion of the guests’ own villa, and aims at demonstrating to mothers-to-be the importance of stretching and exercising gently whilst expecting a baby. Expectant mothers will be given specific exercises to take home even after their holiday at Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, designed to clear the mind, focus on breathing, and energise them for future months to come.
On the penultimate day of the Babymoon package, expectant mothers-to-be are invited to enjoy a unique Abhyanyam massage at the Vindhan Spa. A nourishing treatment that improves blood circulation throughout the body but being careful to avoid the stomach, the massage is perfect for any expectant mother. Lasting a full hour and a half, this is a deeply relaxing experience in which to reflect and recuperate.
Concluding their week of indulgence, mothers-to-be will be given a tailor-made rehydrating facial, which will leave them with a refreshed and glowing complexion. Harnessing the purifying properties of papaya, mango and pineapples, the facial deeply cleanses the skin, before restoring moisture with a rehydrating mandarin masque.
It’s not just mothers-to-be who can enjoy this new Babymoon offering either! Fathers-to-be can also enjoy bespoke spa treatments at the Vindhun Spa, or for those keen to stay active, why not head out to find some of the best dive sites in the world, go fishing, snorkelling, kayaking or just enjoy a good book on the beautiful white sand beach and get away from it all.

Westin Hotels elevate sleep experiences with holistic wellness initiatives

In the lead-up to the global commemoration of World Sleep Day on March 14 and building on the ‘Busy Resting’ campaign launched in January 2025, Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, is advocating for restful sleep. Hotels and resorts across the Asia Pacific region (excluding China) are inviting guests to experience revitalising and restorative relaxation, emphasising rest as an essential part of life rather than a luxury.
Modern society often equates being busy with success, often at the expense of personal well-being. However, a shift is occurring as individuals begin to reclaim their right to rest. With a strong focus on holistic well-being and a brand strategy centered on curating optimal sleep experiences, Westin has consistently positioned itself as an innovator in the hospitality industry. Since introducing the Heavenly Bed® in 1999, which disrupted industry norms and set a new standard for hotel sleep experiences, the brand has remained a leader in the wellness space.
For over two decades, Westin has continually evolved its offerings to provide guests with a personalised approach to sleep and comfort. The Sleep Well program, which features amenities such as the Sleep Well Menu and Sleep Well Lavender Balm, further highlights the brand’s commitment to promoting restorative sleep as a crucial component of overall well-being. Westin continues to champion wellness through its Six Pillars of Well-Being: Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well.
John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer for Asia Pacific (excluding China), emphasised Westin’s leadership in hospitality well-being, stating, “Westin has been among hospitality’s global leaders in well-being, consistently empowering guests to enhance their routines while on the road through its six pillars, from Eat Well to Sleep Well. World Sleep Day serves as a great reminder of the importance of restorative experiences for travellers. With the increasing interest in sleep tourism and wellness travel, it is the perfect time to reaffirm our commitment to guests’ health by providing the tools and experiences necessary for a good night’s sleep.”
Westin’s Sleep Well program is central to its dedication to holistic well-being, offering guests a revitalising and restful sleep experience. The program underscores the significance of quality sleep as the foundation for mental and physical health. The Heavenly® Bed provides unparalleled comfort for travellers seeking restorative sleep. The Sleep Well Menu, available through in-room dining, features sleep-enhancing superfoods rich in nutrients that promote relaxation. Additionally, guests can unwind with the Sleep Well Lavender Balm, infused with calming essential oils to alleviate tension and create a peaceful sleep environment. Westin’s wellness-focused amenities continue to set a high standard in the hospitality industry.
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort offers guests a specialised Sleep Infusion Turndown service. This curated in-room tea experience includes sleep-inducing herbal teas, such as chamomile and lavender, to promote relaxation. Guests can also participate in daily meditation and relaxation sessions, including Yoga Nidra and Gyan Mudra, to enhance their journey toward quality sleep. Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation technique that facilitates deep relaxation, while Gyan Mudra, a sacred hand gesture, helps direct energy and maintain balance.
Parents travelling with children can benefit from ‘The Westin Maldives Kids Sleep Manual,’ developed in collaboration with Savvy Sleep. This guide provides families with sleep-recommended activities, including beachfront bedtime stories, stargazing, and dream journaling, to encourage restful and rejuvenating sleep for young travelers.
On March 14, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort will host a sunset reception, inviting guests to relax amid stunning ocean views. The event will feature an exclusive selection of Sleep Well-inspired canapés and beverages, creating a serene atmosphere to celebrate the importance of restful sleep.
Nestled in the picturesque Baa Atoll, a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort serves as an oasis of tranquility. Through an immersive approach to well-being, the resort continues to advocate for the restorative power of sleep, ensuring that every guest departs feeling refreshed and inspired.
