One&Only Reethi Rah, United Fitness Brands launch exclusive partnership
One&Only Reethi Rah, the ultra-luxury all-villa resort set on one of the Maldives’ largest private islands has announced an exclusive partnership with leading fitness experts United Fitness Brands (UFB), offering guests on-demand videos for completely private, in-villa workouts along with on-resort classes with several visiting practitioners to experience their groundbreaking fitness classes while holidaying in the tropics.
This partnership comes as an evolvement of the resort’s prior partnership with Barrecore and allows the resort to expand its offerings with the group’s four main fitness brands: Barrecore, Boom Cycle, KOBOX, and triyoga. Guests at One&Only Reethi Rah will have access to a range of fitness videos on Barrecore, KOBOX, and triyoga guided by expert instructors on the screens within their villas.
United Fitness Brands is the UK’s first fitness supergroup, offering its portfolio of premium studios, accelerated growth, scale, and commercial prowess within the industry and beyond. The parent company to some of the UK’s pioneering fitness brands, their mission is to take their four brands across international waters, including to the stunning azure shores of One&Only Reethi Rah.
There’s something for everyone among UFB’s four main disciplines, whether you’re new to fitness or a seasoned expert. Barrecore, a method founded in 2011 that uses your own body weight and isometric exercises for high intensity and low impact workouts, is recognised as one of the fastest, safest, and most effective body transformation exercises in the UK. Boom Cycle, the nation’s first indoor cycling chain founded in the same year, offers guests an immersive ‘party on a bike’ workout for a heart-pumping fun time. KOBOX, the newest of the four, founded in 2015 and first of its kind, brings high intensity boxing classes under the concept of ‘Fight Club Meets Nightclub’. triyoga, founded in 2000, combines the three elements of yoga, Pilates, and treatments to help individuals achieve true wellbeing inside and out with the support of the best teachers and therapists.
Hilary Rowland, Chief Product Officer at United Fitness Brands, had the following to say about the partnership: “United Fitness Brands is overjoyed to bring our four long-standing and well-loved wellness brands: Barrecore, Boom Cycle, KOBOX and triyoga to the excellent and stunning One&Only Reethi Rah. We believe our class formats and expert trainers will bring an additional edge to the existing perfection achieved by the team at the resort and we only hope we can spend more time there.”
The partnership with UFB complements One&Only Reethi Rah’s complete and holistic programme of wellness and fitness experiences. Home to a cutting-edge gym with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, an outdoor Queenax functional area perched on the beach, and a snack and juice bar, the resort’s personal training programmes are uniquely tailored to each guests’ personal fitness goals and potential with disciplines including kick boxing, Power Plate, and kinesis programmes.
Following their unique and exhilarating workouts, guests can retreat to the award-winning One&Only Spa for a fully rejuvenating treatment at the serene ocean-side sanctuary, where they can indulge in an extensive menu of Asian-inspired revitalising and personalised face and body treatments based on one-on-one consultations.
As part of their holistic and tailor-made health and wellness programme, One&Only Reethi Rah invites fitness and wellness enthusiasts to experience one or all United Fitness Brands’ trailblazing classes in the heart of paradise, either from the comfort and privacy of their own beautiful villa, or against the unrivalled backdrop of the Indian Ocean.

Siyam World expands activity line-up with 3K run and race
Part of the Lifestyle Collection of Sun Siyam, Siyam World has never really done “ordinary.” And with two of its most high-energy island experiences now firmly on the weekly roster, families, groups and anyone with a competitive streak have even more reason to book that trip.
Lace Up: The Siyam World 3K Wellness Run
Every week, guests gather at the start line for the Siyam World 3K Wellness Run, where good vibes meet great views. Clearly marked pathways guide the way to a marathon-style route around the island but the rules are simple: go at your own pace, take in the views, and enjoy the moment. Run it, jog it, or power-walk it with a smoothie in hand. No judgment here. Cross the finish line and you’ll earn an exclusive Siyam World 3K Run badge, the most stylish souvenir you’ll take home, and the ultimate bragging rights for completing a 3K on the most epic island in the Maldives. It’s all about moving, smiling, and enjoying the moment.
Game Faces On: The Amazing Race
For families and groups ready to turn up the heat, The Amazing Race is exactly what it sounds like, chaotic, competitive, and seriously good fun. Teams of up to five kick off at the starting point before racing across the island, completing challenges and hunting down clues at every turn. Five challenges. Multiple locations. Zero time to waste. It’s a test of speed, teamwork and quick thinking with a generous helping of chaos thrown in for good measure. And the rewards? Very worth running for. The winning team takes home a complimentary excursion, second place hits the waves on a banana boat, and third place gets behind the wheel at the Maldives’ first-ever resort based electric go-kart circuit. Not a bad consolation prize.
Whether you’re chasing that runner’s high, racing your kids across the island, or just looking for something a little different from the usual sun-lounger routine, Siyam World delivers. Every experience is designed to bring people together, keep the energy high, and create the kind of memories that don’t fade with the tan.
A World Beyond Your Wildest
Siyam World’s summer offer makes it easier than ever to say yes. Save up to 45% off, enjoy USD 150 resort credit, and settle in to Premium 24hrs WOW! All-inclusive from the moment you arrive. Stay 4 nights and a seaplane transfer is on the house — stay 7 and that extends to two guests, plus a floating breakfast for two. And for families, children under 12 stay completely free when sharing with adults. The only question is how long you can stay. Book your stay now.

Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives introduces indoor mini golf experience
Resort experiences are increasingly shaped by the need for flexibility, with guests seeking activities that can be enjoyed beyond peak sun hours, creating a natural demand for engaging indoor spaces and particularly in tropical destinations where brief, seasonal rain showers are part of the island rhythm.
Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives builds on this evolving guest preference with the introduction of its new 8-hole Indoor Mini Golf Centre, adding a playful and interactive dimension to the island’s leisure offering. The space was officially unveiled at a recent opening, where a guest was invited to mark the occasion, setting the tone for an experience centred around shared enjoyment and light-hearted moments.

The indoor mini golf course offers a relaxed, air-conditioned space where guests of all ages can take part, whether as a casual game between families, a friendly challenge among couples, or a fun addition to group stays. It provides a comfortable alternative to outdoor activities while maintaining the sense of energy and connection that defines time on the island, regardless of the weather.
The addition builds on the resort’s existing indoor facilities, including billiards, table tennis, and a dedicated kids’ playroom, creating a more rounded leisure experience that caters to different moods and moments. Outdoors, guests can continue to explore a wide range of activities, from beach volleyball and futsal to badminton, diving, and both motorised and non-motorised water sports.

As one of the first resorts in the area to introduce an indoor mini golf experience, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives continues to evolve its offerings in line with how guests choose to travel today, blending activity, comfort, and shared experiences in a setting designed for both relaxation and discovery.
