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.

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.

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.
