Published

on

With the festive cheer around the corner, Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives launches its Festive  Calendar full of exciting activities and experiences. This year’s theme revolves around gastronomic marvels.

Not all winter family holidays are meant to be cold. In fact, winter is a great time to soak up  the Vitamin D in the tropics at Kodhipparu and boat about it to friends and family back at home. A resort known for an authentic, boutique and luxury Maldives experience, the little ones can spot  dolphins right from the villa, run wild across the lush leafy island, try their luck with Jetskid, Jet-skiing  for kids and even brave diving for kids.

At this boutique luxury resort of Kodhipparu, guests can sit back  and listen to the calming waves of the turquoise lagoon, admire the unbelievable and some of the most  photographed sunsets in the world, and bubble away with the ongoing wine pairing and champagne tasting dinners from one night to another.

This tropical jungle framed by an emerald lagoon hideaway has something for everyone, from an  outdoor rain shower and overwater hammocks to a see-through glass bottom in each villa. This is a  family Christmas holiday with a tropical twist. Nothing screams Christmas holiday like meeting Santa  Claus in high spirits. Under the tropical winter sun of Kodhipparu, the resort opens up a world of  outdoor opportunities for young explorers to embark on this holiday. From Mini-Olympics to exciting  scavenger hunts and reindeer sleigh rides on the ocean, Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives’ Christmas  wonderland is every kid’s tropical dream. Parents can sit back and let the elves at the kids’ club create  magic for the whole family.  

For the more sophisticated traveller, there will be plenty of wine pairing and degustation dinners mixed  with soulful and melty jazz performances. New Year’s Eve will be an event to look forward. A sensation  Breeze Pool Bar party is in prep with full steam ahead, with a stylish countdown, spectacular fireworks,  world-class live DJ entertainment and a fashionable Gala Dinner Event. The days in between will be  balmy and sensational with culinary & mixologists masterclasses, massage lessons, aura reading  sessions and complimentary aqua yoga, or circuit training based on each guest’s tastes, to make this  festive holiday at Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, a celebration with incredible moments in time.  

As another year knocks on the doors, the guests are invited to prepare for two weeks of sustainable  festivities where there is ample room to discover love, transform the mind body & soul and re-energise  for the year that awaits across the seas.

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo marks global wellness initiative with three-day celebration

Published

on

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.

SO/ Maldives to host three-day wellness retreat with Anna Kanyuk

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.
