The Nautilus Maldives begins 2025 with the launch of its “Masters for Masters” calendar, featuring a series of world-class wellness events. Guests are invited to start the year with a focus on inner calm, renewed energy, and stress relief. From January 22nd to 31st, 2025, The Nautilus will host two senior therapists from its renowned wellness partner, Ananda in the Himalayas, an acclaimed holistic retreat.

Following the holiday season, often packed with travel, social engagements, and high expectations, many people experience both physical and mental fatigue. Combined with the new year’s resolutions, stress management becomes essential for maintaining focus and commitment. To address this, The Nautilus offers an exclusive residency centred on stress management therapies, blending Ananda’s expertise with The Nautilus’s signature hospitality. This retreat allows guests to experience Ananda’s comprehensive stress management programs—typically lasting 7 to 21 nights—designed to foster a healthy lifestyle, reduce stress, and encourage lasting positive change.

Led by esteemed Ananda practitioners, Mr. Sandeep Dhamada and Ms. Laxmi Gupta, the residency includes transformative treatments such as Tibetan Ku Nye Massage, Grounding Aromatherapy, and Reflexology. These therapies aim to enhance balance and tranquillity. As part of the program, guests receive a follow-up online consultation with an Ayurvedic physician from Ananda to ensure continuity in their wellness journey. Additionally, guests can savour teasers of Ananda’s Ayurvedic cuisine throughout the island, featuring anti-inflammatory ingredients and flavours that support overall well-being.

With just 26 exclusive residences and exceptional spa amenities, The Nautilus is situated in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, surrounded by pristine beaches, coral reefs, and clear waters of the Indian Ocean. This private island offers an unparalleled ultra-luxury experience, positioning itself as the ultimate destination for relaxation and renewal.

Ananda, a multi-award-winning luxury wellness retreat nestled in the Himalayan foothills, is set on a 100-acre estate and surrounded by tranquil Sal forests. Combining traditional Ayurveda, yoga, and Vedanta with international wellness practices and organic cuisine, Ananda’s wellness programs are highly acclaimed. For a third consecutive year, Ananda and The Nautilus are extending their partnership to enhance wellness offerings for guests seeking a rejuvenating start to the year.

Stress Management Treatments Offered by Ananda at The Nautilus:

  • Stress Release – Using invigorating essential oils like orange, peppermint, and eucalyptus, this full-body massage relaxes muscles, increases circulation, clears metabolic waste, and opens respiratory pathways, helping clients feel rejuvenated and grounded.
  • Grounding Aromatherapy – Essential oils of rose, sandalwood, and vetiver are applied to lymphatic points to promote physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being, creating a truly holistic experience.
  • Tibetan Ku Nye Massage – This Tibetan body massage, using five essential oils, balances the five elements and restores energy flow through techniques such as cupping, kneading, and acupressure with hot Himalayan crystal salt poultices. The aim is to restore the nervous system and promote harmony within the body.
  • Reflexology – Reflexologists gently stimulate reflex points on the feet to restore the body’s natural balance. This gentle therapy encourages the body to regain its healthy equilibrium, enhancing overall well-being.
  • Ananda Touch – A blend of sunflower and wheat germ oil with rose is applied in rhythmic movements over the back, neck, shoulders, and scalp, releasing deep-seated tension, soothing aches, and promoting relaxation for a profound sense of calm and unity with the body.
