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.

Situated in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a boutique island retreat; it is a sanctuary for mindful rejuvenation. At Milaidhoo, wellness extends beyond the spa, permeating every detail of the guest experience — from barefoot living and soulful seclusion to fresh, nourishing cuisine and personalised wellness menus designed to support individual journeys of transformation.

Global Wellness Day 2025 at Milaidhoo will begin with a soul-awakening dynamic cleansing and yoga nidra session at 8:00 on an exclusive sandbank. This session offers guests a chance to silence external noise, realign with their inner rhythm, and reconnect with themselves amidst the Indian Ocean horizon.

At 11:00, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a coral plantation activity led by the resort’s marine biologist at the Ocean Stories Aquatic Centre. This interactive conservation initiative allows guests to give back to the local ecosystem and fosters an emotional connection to the broader community of life beneath the waves.

In the afternoon, from 16:00 to 17:00, guests can embark on a guided mindful walking experience around the island. This activity invites participants to reconnect with nature through observation and intention, with each barefoot step across soft sand and lush jungle paths revealing the healing power of nature.

At Milaidhoo, food is an integral part of wellness, with every dish curated with wellbeing in mind. Whether it is plant-based vitality bowls from the Chef’s Garden, fresh-caught seafood, or custom-designed menus tailored to individual health goals, guests are encouraged to nourish not only their bodies but also their senses.

Paul van Frank, Milaidhoo’s general manager, shared, “Our wellness ethos embraces the art of slowing down and living in the moment. Global Wellness Day is an opportunity to remind guests of the power of reconnecting with themselves, with each other, and with the beautiful world around them.”

Angsana Velavaru, a secluded island retreat in the South Nilandhe Atoll, unveils a new chapter in its guest experience this May with the launch of a curated wellness yoga programme – a purposeful and poised invitation to return to the essential of wellbeing. Rooted in the resort’s ongoing commitment to mindful, holistic travel, the offering marks a quiet evolution that creates spaces not only to unwind, but to reconnect with oneself in meaningful, grounded ways.

Designed with quiet intention, the new yoga programme blends classical techniques with contemporary needs. Complimentary morning and afternoon sessions guide guests through Sunrise Flow, Breath & Balance, and Hatha Yoga – practices that anchor the body and reset the nervous system. Each class is held in an open-air pavilions or beachfront space, where the movement of the ocean and the softness of natural light lend their own quiet support.

For those seeking more immersive practice, chargeable sessions explore deeper dimensions of stillness and release – from Pranayama and Yin Yoga to guided Meditation and Restorative Sunset Yoga. The programme is supported by trained instructor who focus not on performance, but on personal connection and presence. Private sessions are also available, offering tailored approaches for guests who wish to explore their practice more intimately – whether for physical balance or emotional clarity.

Wellbeing at Angsana Velavaru extends beyond the mat. Tucked within the island’s lush greenery, the award winning Angsana Spa offers a distinctive approach to bodywork and healing. Treatments are rooted in time-honoured Asian traditions and delivered with intuitive care. From soothing body polishes to tension releasing massages, each therapy is designed to restore energy gently and naturally. Warm, grounding hospitality and the spa’s contemporary design create an atmosphere of calm- where the body can soften and the mind can finally slow.

To mark Global Wellness Day from 13 to 15 June, Angsana Velavaru welcomes Shubhangi Chauhan, certified holistic wellness coach and founder of WITHIN, for a special guest residency. Her personal story – a transformative journey from physical burnout to deep self-discovery – now forms the foundation of global movement supporting mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Today, WITHIN is home to a team of 23 practitioners, offering coaching, emotional support, and mindset guidance across continents.

During her residency, Shubhangi will lead a thoughtfully curated programme featuring strength and breathwork sessions, yoga for flexibility and inner balance, and a Wellness Circle exploring mental clarity, nutrition, and community care. A signature session – a blindfold Free Flow Dance followed by Yoga Nidra – invites guests into a rare space of surrender and emotional release.

The collaboration reflects broader philosophy at Angsana Velavaru – that wellbeing is not about routine but rhythm. Not about escape, but return. And that sometimes, the most powerful transformation happens not in movements but in stillness.

At Angsana Velavaru, wellness is an experience of depth, presence, and purpose. Reconnect with your inner rhythm through yoga, discover healing through spa rituals and take part in a transformative wellness collaboration on an island made for renewal.
