Sirru Fen Fushi celebrates Global Wellness Day with office chair yoga routine
Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort, a haven of tranquility and luxury in the Maldives, has celebrated Global Wellness Day by launching a special five-minute office workout video designed to bring the benefits of yoga to professionals around the world. This wellness initiative focuses on office desk yoga, a series of simple stretches and exercises that can be performed right at your office chair.
In today’s fast-paced work environment, many individuals spend long hours seated at their desks, leading to physical discomfort and health issues such as back pain and tension. Recognizing the need for accessible wellness practices, Sirru Fen Fushi has created a mindful exercise video that guides viewers through easy-to-follow yoga stretches aimed at improving mobility, relieving tension, and promoting overall well-being.
Benefits of Office Desk Yoga:
- Relief from Back Pain: Prolonged sitting can lead to stiffness and discomfort in the lower back. The gentle stretches in the office desk yoga routine help to alleviate pain by enhancing flexibility and reducing muscle tension.
- Improved Mobility: Incorporating regular stretching into your workday can enhance joint mobility, making everyday movements easier and more fluid.
- Stress Reduction: Mindful breathing exercises combined with physical stretches help to reduce stress levels, creating a sense of calm and focus amidst a busy workday.
- Enhanced Posture: Practicing desk yoga encourages better posture by strengthening the muscles that support the spine, reducing the risk of developing chronic posture-related issues.
- Increased Energy Levels: A short yoga session can rejuvenate the mind and body, boosting energy levels and improving productivity.
The five-minute video produced by Sirru Fen Fushi features simple yet effective yoga stretches that can be performed while seated in an office chair. These exercises are designed to fit seamlessly into a busy schedule, providing a quick and convenient way to integrate wellness into the workday. By following along, viewers can experience immediate benefits, feeling more relaxed and energised.
“We are excited to contribute to Global Wellness Day by offering a practical solution for professionals seeking to improve their physical and mental health,” said Spa Manager Wilfred Suarez at Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort. “Our office desk yoga routine is a testament to our commitment to promoting wellness in all aspects of life, even in the workplace.”
Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort invites everyone to join them in celebrating Global Wellness Day by incorporating these simple yoga stretches into their daily routine. The video is available on the resort’s official website and social media channels.

Westin Maldives Miriandhoo introduces Family Fun Summer package
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has introduced its Family Fun Summer offer, aimed at families seeking longer island stays built around shared activities and rest. The offer is available for booking from 15 April to 15 June 2026, with a minimum stay of four nights for travel through to 20 December 2026.
Located within Baa Atoll, the Maldives’ first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is positioning the offer around family wellness, marine experiences and time spent together in a natural island setting. Seasonal snorkelling with manta rays in Hanifaru Bay remains one of the area’s key attractions, while the resort’s collection of beach and overwater villas is designed to accommodate families looking for space and flexibility during their stay.
For larger families and groups, the resort also offers the two-bedroom Heavenly Beach Residence, which includes a living room, kitchen and dining area intended to support longer and more relaxed island stays.
The resort says the guest experience can be shaped around both activity and downtime, supported by Westin’s Sleep Well concept and Heavenly Bed. Children have access to the Westin Family Kids Club, which includes a children’s pool and pirate ship, while parents can make use of Heavenly Spa by Westin.
Away from the villa, the resort is also promoting shared family experiences through Good Travel with Marriott Bonvoy activities focused on the culture and environment of Baa Atoll. These include traditional lacquer craft workshops, visits to local islands and guided marine activities in surrounding waters.
The Family Fun Summer package includes three meals per day, with children under 12 dining free of charge. It also includes a one-time dolphin cruise for two adults and two children, a 30-minute photography session with one printed photo, and a USD 150 resort credit.

Sun Siyam Iru Veli organises tree planting activity for Earth Day
In celebration of Earth Day 2026, Sun Siyam Iru Veli, part of the Privé Collection within the House of Sun Siyam, hosted a purposeful evening inspired by this year’s global theme, Our Power, Our Planet. The evening brought together guests and team members for a meaningful tree planting ceremony along the shores of Magoodhoo Beach. It was an evening dedicated to celebrating the belief that everyday actions can lead to lasting environmental progress through collective, community-led effort.

The bamboo planted during this ceremony was chosen with purpose, representing more than a symbolic gesture. This fast-growing plant absorbs high levels of carbon dioxide, releases generous amounts of oxygen, and regenerates naturally from its root system. For small islands, it offers a thoughtful and space-efficient solution that supports greener landscapes while helping protect fragile coastlines. The planting also builds on a growing legacy at Magoodhoo Beach, where coconut trees planted during last year’s Eid celebrations are now thriving, adding new life and shade to the island’s natural beauty.

Sustainability at Sun Siyam Iru Veli is a year-round commitment shaped through everyday action. Earlier this April, 29 team members took part in a recycling training session led by the resort’s Training and Quality Assurance team, reinforcing environmental awareness across departments. Fresh herbs and produce grown on the island, including chillies, limes, coriander, rosemary, and pandan leaves, are incorporated into culinary experiences across the resort. Craftsmanship also plays a meaningful role, with statement planters, tabletops, and other design elements created in-house by the resort’s skilled engineers and carpenters using repurposed materials, reducing waste and transport impact while adding character and authenticity.

These initiatives reflect Sun Siyam Iru Veli’s year-round commitment to thoughtful hospitality, responsible island living, and the values of Sun Siyam Care. They are guided by a belief that meaningful progress is shaped through consistent action, and the resort remains dedicated to preserving the beauty of its surroundings while creating impactful experiences for the guests.
