Published

on

Few things are as utterly stress-dissolving as spending time at a beach, or really anywhere with an ocean view. The mere sight of the Maldives — a thread of islands in a turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean — would provide exactly that sense of tranquility. But what if a wellbeing retreat in Maldives could take it up a notch? The extent to which the numerous wellness offerings at THE OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI retreat would magnify just that feeling of calm, much like floating on air.
