Crown & Champa Resorts, the leading resort collection in the Maldives, will celebrate June wellness this year with inspiring wellbeing activities and energising experiences at its luxurious properties.

Wellness is integral to the ethos and offerings across the collection, and June wellness is an excellent opportunity to shine a spotlight on the benefits of healthy living and the remarkable ways to integrate wellness into everyday life.

Nine Crown & Champa properties will offer a myriad of specially curated experiences, including revitalising spa treatments, holistic wellness, culinary journeys, and mindfulness sessions on June 12, in observance of Global Wellness Day.

Celebrated in more than 100 countries across the world, Global Wellness Day was first established in 2012 as a day to come together and appreciate the beauty and variety of life, with an emphasis on living well, and inspired by the mantra: “One day can change your whole life.”

Kudadoo Maldives Private Island

Already booked out for June, guests at this ultra-luxury Maldives resort will have the opportunity to spend the day exploring the island’s complimentary active wellness experiences: from swimming, kayaking, and snorkelling in the turquoise lagoon.

Hurawalhi Maldives

The adults-only luxury resort will offer a spa experience for couples called ‘Romantic Retreat’, a 75-minute defining body ritual featuring a choice of renewing Asian massages set in a tranquil and romantic setting.

Private yoga can also be arranged on the private decks of guest villas, enhanced by uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean.

Kagi Maldives Spa Island

The Lifestyle Reset Retreats will guide guests towards a more balanced and authentic life, with a comprehensive programme consisting of yoga and meditation, renewing spa treatments and holistic healing, alongside wholesome meals and locally-inspired experiences for the ultimate wellbeing-focused holiday.

Veligandu Island Resort

Alongside healthy and detox drinks and locally-sourced menu items on offer, the secluded haven will further spoil romantic couples with ‘Heaven On Earth’.

This signature spa treatment is the ultimate body and face ritual, featuring an Oriental massage, followed by a nourishing hand therapy and hydrating facials.

The celestial sounds of Tibetan singing bowls complete this blissful experience.

Komandoo Island Resort

Guests at the truly adults-only (18+) resort can take advantage of its spa’s signature ‘Him & Her Treatment’, a romantic indulgence featuring restorative and calming Balinese Massage, that is followed by champagne, for couples to fully savour the pampering experience.

The family-friendly resort will host several activities throughout the property’s tropical grounds, including a morning run through the beach and golf course and a sustainable garden tour.

Younger guests can spend time cycling around the island or take part in a complete excursion programme, suitable for the whole family.

A comprehensive calendar of health and fitness activities will include beach runs, yoga sessions, boot camp classes, Pilates training, and non-motorised water sports.

Guests can also sample a variety of healthy juices and bites available at the resort’s extensive selection of food & beverage outlets.

Innahura Maldives Resort

The laid-back, easy-going resort will offer ‘Sound Bath’, a meditative experience where those in attendance will fall into a deep state of relaxation and healing as an expert therapist uses a set of Himalayan singing bowls to balance mind, body, and spirit.
