Published

on

Al Dahr FZC, is making strides in the eco-friendly products market with the introduction of their innovative Cassava Bags. These bags are set to revolutionize the way we think about single-use plastics, offering a sustainable alternative that is 100% natural, recyclable, and compostable.

Al Dahr FZC has established itself as a leading provider of hospitality and hotel supply products, focusing on eco-responsible business practices. With a commitment to reducing their ecological footprint, the company aims to be part of the global movement towards a greener future. The introduction of Cassava Bags aligns perfectly with their vision of offering environmentally friendly solutions to their clients.

Cassava plants, known as the root of the century, possess remarkable resilience and productivity even in high-temperature conditions. What sets Cassava Bags apart is their composition. These bags are exclusively made from root starch obtained from cassava plants, making them 100% natural. This unique material renders them fully recyclable and compostable, making them a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Unlike traditional plastic bags, Cassava Bags are designed to dissolve slowly in water, posing no harm to the environment. This characteristic is particularly significant for countries like the Maldives, an island nation surrounded by the ocean. By using these bags, individuals can contribute to the preservation of ocean life without worrying about creating any harmful byproducts.

Not only are Cassava Bags environmentally friendly, but they also offer practicality and durability. These bags have a load capacity of up to 7 kg, depending on the type, size, and thickness. They are suitable for various uses and can be reused multiple times, providing a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to conventional plastic bags.

When disposed of in soil, Cassava Bags take approximately three to six months to degrade completely. In water, they dissolve within a few days, and even in hot water at 90°C, they dissolve within approximately three minutes. These impressive degradation rates ensure that Cassava Bags leave minimal environmental impact.

Al Dahr FZC, a privately owned general trading company, has established itself as a pioneer in providing cost-effective solutions to clients worldwide while upholding high standards of quality and delivery. Their commitment to innovation is evident through their in-house development of innovative products that cater to the evolving needs of their clients.

As consumers become increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, the demand for eco-friendly alternatives is on the rise. Al Dahr FZC’s introduction of Cassava Bags demonstrates their dedication to meeting this demand and offering a practical solution that allows individuals to contribute to a greener planet.

In the quest for a more sustainable future, Cassava Bags stand out as a practical, eco-friendly, and versatile alternative to traditional plastic bags. Al Dahr FZC’s commitment to promoting eco-responsible business practices sets an example for other companies to follow. Together, we can make a difference by embracing sustainable choices and supporting innovative solutions like Cassava Bags.

InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort hosts five-day yoga retreat for International Yoga Day

Published

on

This summer presents an ideal opportunity for individuals to realign mind and body amid the serene beauty of the Maldives. In honour of International Yoga Day on June 21, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is hosting a five-day immersive yoga retreat from June 20 to 24. The retreat will be led by renowned Dubai-based instructor Emilia Métaireau and promises a transformative escape from daily life. Carefully scheduled for a mid-summer reset, the retreat invites wellness enthusiasts to step away from routine and reconnect with their inner selves through mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, all set against the stunning backdrop of one of the world’s most idyllic island destinations.

As a signature event celebrating International Yoga Day, the retreat emphasises holistic healing by blending ancient yogic traditions with modern wellness techniques to offer a deeply resonant experience. Participants will begin each day with energising sunrise sessions and wind down with restorative evening practices that ground the body and calm the mind. Guided meditations and energy healing sessions are also included to foster self-awareness and spiritual connection.

Leading the retreat is Emilia Métaireau, a passionate advocate for mindful movement and self-care. With more than a decade of practice, international certification from London, and over 2,500 hours of teaching experience across global retreats and classes, Métaireau brings a grounded, expansive energy to her sessions. Her approach combines conscious movement, breathwork, and timeless yogic wisdom to guide participants toward greater inner clarity and embodiment.

At the core of the retreat is the ancient yogic philosophy of the five koshas—interconnected layers of the self that encompass physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful aspects. These koshas—Annamaya (physical body), Pranamaya (energy body), Manomaya (mental body), Vijnanamaya (intellectual body), and Anandamaya (bliss body)—serve as a roadmap for self-discovery and spiritual growth. Through carefully curated practices in yoga, meditation, and mindful movement, attendees will be guided through an experiential journey to peel back these layers and return to a state of balance, joy, and inner freedom.

The retreat will be anchored by AVI Spa, the resort’s luxury wellness sanctuary set over water. Meaning ‘sunshine’ in the local language, AVI Spa offers signature treatments and therapies that align with the transformative ethos of the retreat, providing guests with the peace and serenity essential to deep healing and restoration. The program is designed to support every layer of the being, offering a holistic experience aimed at restoring balance, enhancing vitality, and reconnecting with the authentic self.

Located on the tranquil southern tip of Raa Atoll, adjacent to a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and a juvenile manta ray aggregation site, the resort provides a pristine setting for a deeply nourishing retreat. As the Maldives’ first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, guests enjoy exclusive complimentary privileges alongside premium five-star amenities. These include overwater villas, an adults-only area complete with pool and restaurant, and a tranquil spa ideal for guided meditation and yoga. With six dining venues and a total of 81 villas and residences, participants have the freedom to select their ideal retreat accommodation while enjoying a diverse array of gourmet experiences.
