Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, the five-star beach resort in the Indian Ocean, is inviting its global explorers to experience the ultimate tropical wellness and lifestyle retreat with the launch of “Rock & Soul Month” – a full 31-day health and fitness festival that will help every guest feel fantastic!

Running until 7th April 2023, Rock & Soul Month features an action-packed schedule of activities for every wellness seeker, from gym bunnies who love high intensity workouts to those who desire more mindful moments. With sessions running from sunrise until sunset, including morning runs, beach yoga, martial arts, self-defence, dance fitness, aerial arts, aqua gym, strength sessions, nutrition and lifestyle classes, and even snorkelling, every guest can create a personalised programme to suit their unique needs.

Guests are encouraged to join at least two daily sessions to maximise their wellness journey, and little Roxtars also have a fun-filled calendar of health-focused activities to keep them entertained, from fun games such as hopscotch, hula hoop and juggling to dance classes, martial arts, kids’ yoga, aerial arts and more!

To give guests an extra boost, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives has invited two leading professionals, Danny O’Sullivan and Kristie Walker, to uplift this wellness experience. Danny is an expert in mobility and strength training who can help athletes move more freely and reduce the risk of injury. Kristie meanwhile, is a nutritionist and lifestyle consultant who has spent 15 years helping people create healthy lives and eating habits.

These two pros will join Hard Rock Hotel Maldives’ onsite health and fitness experts, including Amanda, a dance fitness instructor who brings a burst of energy to every class; Xenia, an aerial arts instructor who specialises in elegant gymnastics such as trapeze, rings, silks and more; Mooza, a yoga teacher who brings a blend of meditative and challenging exercises to each class; and Rafa, a black belt Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor who leads empowering self-defence techniques.

Throughout Rock & Soul Month, guests can soothe their aching muscles and achieve complete pampering with the new “Aloha Package” at the Rock Spa®! This serene spa journey starts with a 30-minute body scrub, followed by a relaxing 60-minute massage, and ends with a refreshing 30-minute mini-facial. This immersive package can now be enjoyed for just USD 185++ per person or USD 345++ per couple. Rates start from USD 525 per room per night.

“We are delighted to invite guests from around the world to our Rock & Soul Month, as we elevate health and fitness to new levels of luxury. What could be more invigorating than feeling fit and healthy in a spectacular setting, overlooking the Indian Ocean? Whatever your wellness goals, our experts will help you to enhance your physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to push your boundaries and discover a new way to stay in shape,” said Tolga Unan, Managing Director, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives.

The start of Rock & Soul Month comes hot on the heels of Carnaval Week, which brought Latin America’s iconic carnival celebrations to Hard Rock Hotel Maldives from 24th February to 4th March 2023, including a colorful Carnaval Parade, Masquerade Party, an array of Latin-themed activities, Brazilian dining and more.

Nestled within CROSSROADS Maldives, the Indian Ocean’s first integrated multi-island leisure destination, and only a 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives blends local culture and tropical architecture with contemporary design and authentic music memorabilia. The 178 extravagant rooms, suites and villas – including overwater pool villas – are complemented by signature facilities such as the Body Rock® fitness centre, Rock Spa®, Rock Shop®, and diverse dining and entertainment venues such as The Elephant and The Butterfly, a vibrant Latin American beachfront restaurant inspired by the stories of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and Hard Rock Cafe®, the iconic all-American brand.

Sun Siyam Olhuveli launches Coral Frame Adoption programme on Earth Day

Published

on

To mark Earth Day, Sun Siyam Olhuveli, part of the Lifestyle Collection within the House of Siyam, launched its new marine conservation initiative, the Adopt A Coral Frame experience, during a morning event held on 22 April at Milano Beach on Dream Island.

The initiative forms part of the resort’s wider marine conservation efforts and is designed to give guests a direct way to engage with coral restoration while supporting the protection of the surrounding reef ecosystem.

During the launch, guests were introduced to the coral restoration process through a hands-on experience that explained how new coral growth can be supported through frame-based planting. Under the programme, guests are invited to select and adopt a coral frame, attach healthy coral fragments to it, and take part in placing it within the lagoon to help form a new reef structure.

The process begins with the collection of healthy coral fragments under the guidance of the resort’s marine biologist. These fragments are then secured to specially designed coral frames and placed in selected areas within the resort’s coral garden, where conditions are intended to support growth and marine biodiversity. Guests who adopt a frame will also receive updates on its progress, including photographs shared every six months.

The resort said the programme is intended to make coral conservation more accessible to guests while also highlighting the role of reefs in supporting marine life, protecting coastlines and maintaining ocean ecosystems.

Chaminda Upul, Group Sustainability Manager for Sun Siyam, said the initiative was designed to give guests an opportunity to contribute in a direct way.

“Earth Day is a reminder that even the smallest actions can shape something far greater,” he said. “With Adopt-A-Coral Frame, we wanted to create an experience where our guests can leave a positive mark on the ocean. It’s simple, it’s meaningful, and it stays with you.”

Hassan Adil, General Manager of Sun Siyam Olhuveli, said the resort wanted to create an experience that combines guest participation with long-term environmental value.

“At Olhuveli, we believe the best experiences are the ones that stay with you long after you leave. Adopt-A-Coral is our way of inviting guests to be part of something lasting, while caring for the natural beauty that makes this place so special,” he said.

Part of the proceeds from each coral adoption will go towards Sun Siyam Care, the group’s sustainability platform, supporting marine conservation and reef restoration efforts.

Through the launch of Adopt A Coral Frame, Sun Siyam Olhuveli is combining guest experience with reef restoration, reflecting a wider focus on environmental engagement within its island operations.
