Fitness lovers made the most out of an exciting weekend of activities that took place on 18th– 20th of March 2022 at W Maldives as the luxury resort partnered with global sports brand, PUMA to celebrate International Women’s Month. As part of this collaboration the resort hosted a FUEL Happening that promoted PUMA’s global ‘She Moves Us’ campaign and W Maldives’ DETOX.RETOX. REPEAT. program.

The FUEL Happening saw classes including sunrise and sunset yoga take center stage alongside action-packed and adrenaline-filled watersports activities and a Full Moon Music Glow Yoga session at the resort’s very own castaway island, Gaathafushi. These activities were specially curated for the event to make fitness fun and inspire guests to move.

Part of PUMA’s global ‘She Moves Us’ campaign, to focus on its top female sports ambassadors, celebrating the women who have moved sports forward to inspire other women around the world, the FUEL Happening hosted some of the region’s most popular female influencers at the resort to get the fitness party pumping. PUMA also promoted their PUMA STUDIO Collection, a fashion-meets-function line featuring the latest in style and technology—from core-baring tanks and high-waisted leggings to wicking fabrics and comfort-first cuts. Plus, every piece contains at least 25% recycled material.

The luxury playground at W Maldives is the perfect place to either restart that healthy regime or kick it off, with the FUEL Happening blending a party atmosphere with all the elements of wellbeing for body, mind and soul. The resort, which already offers a range of activities from high intensity boot camps to holistic treatments and nutrition support, brought fitness to life with this high energy collaboration.

“PUMA is an ideal partner for us at W Maldives, in keeping with our brand philosophy that fitness and healthy living can be fun and social,” said Idu Ribeiro, General Manager W Maldives.

“The FUEL Happening was the perfect chance for fitness lovers or novices alike, to come and enjoy the tropical haven of the Maldives with a twist”, he added.
PUMA curated a variety of classes to appeal to all ages and abilities as it aimed to inspire and encourage women to live a more active, energetic life.

FUEL is W’s passion and lifestyle, and a core element of every guest’s experience. To highlight this the property has perfectly curated a ‘FUEL Your Escape’ package that gives people who work, play, and think differently, the excitement and balance they crave to leave them feeling energized to look good, feel good, go longer and stay later.

Golden Week activities will extend beyond dining with a variety of family-oriented experiences. At the Family by JW™ Kids Club, children will take part in Golden Coin Treasure Hunts, chopstick-inspired crafts, mask and fan decoration, and panda sand art on the beach.

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has announced a series of complimentary and signature wellness experiences to mark World Wellness Weekend, scheduled for the third week of September 2025. The programme is designed around Westin’s five Pillars of Well-Being — Feel Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well, and Play Well — encouraging guests to restore, move, and connect in the natural surroundings of the Maldives.

The activities commence on Friday, 19 September, with a game of water volleyball, combining light-hearted competition with physical activity under the Maldivian sun. As evening falls, the practice of Yoga Nidra will be held, guiding participants into a state of conscious rest and restoration.

On Saturday, 20 September, the agenda features Craft Your Glow, a workshop where guests create body scrubs using natural ingredients and tropical botanicals. The day continues with runWestin, an invigorating sunset beach run that highlights the benefits of movement and outdoor exercise.

The programme concludes on Sunday, 21 September, with Sunrise Yoga at the resort’s Yoga Pavilion. This gentle morning practice harmonises breath and movement, offering a balanced start to the day. Later, a Massage Workshop will provide guided techniques for easing tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, offering couples and individuals alike skills they can apply beyond their stay.

Situated in Baa Atoll, the Maldives’ first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort integrates its well-being philosophy across the guest experience. The resort positions World Wellness Weekend as more than a schedule of events, presenting it instead as an opportunity to embrace mindful living, movement, and rest.

Guests considering a stay may also opt for the ‘Earn, Eat, Enjoy; package, which includes breakfast for two adults and two children, a resort credit of USD 70, and a range of complimentary wellness activities to enhance their island experience.

Published

on

This September, SO/ Maldives will host SCULPT. STRETCH. SHINE., a three-day wellness retreat in collaboration with international wellness figure and founder of Top Stretching, Anna Kanyuk. The programme will take place in the setting of Emboodhoo Lagoon and aims to combine movement, mindfulness, and contemporary lifestyle elements within a luxury resort environment.

The retreat will span three days on the resort’s private island, offering participants a structured experience designed to support physical fitness, skincare, and overall wellbeing. Activities will include sunrise sessions on floating decks, evening programmes on the beach, and a series of workshops and classes delivered by Kanyuk and other experts.

Mornings will begin with workouts on the ocean-facing yoga deck, ranging from full-body flows and posture-focused core exercises to high-intensity cardio sessions. These will be followed by small-group workshops at the Pavilion at Hadaba, where participants can join sessions such as Kanyuk’s Facebuilding 101, skincare practices, and talks on nutrition, motivation, and lifestyle balance. In the evenings, activities will move to Lazuli Beach, where stretching, breathwork, and reflection will take place as the sun sets.

The retreat is designed not as a detox programme but as a curated approach to rebalancing and rejuvenation. Each session is intended to help participants enhance physical strength, improve skin health, and adopt practices to support mental clarity.

SO/ Maldives describes itself as a private-island fashion resort that combines avant-garde design with natural surroundings. Villas are located either overwater or within the island’s vegetation, with minimalist interiors, private pools, and wide lagoon or jungle views. Social and dining venues include Lazuli Beach Club, which offers a Mediterranean-inspired experience, and Hadaba, the resort’s signature Middle Eastern dining concept.

With its design-driven identity and wellness-focused philosophy, SO/ Maldives is positioning the retreat as an opportunity for guests to pursue wellbeing within a high-end leisure setting. SCULPT. STRETCH. SHINE. will be held as an intimate programme with limited participation available.
