Soneva Fushi

Maldives Promotion House – Soneva Resorts are making ‘me’ time a sublime virtue with the launch in May 2013 new Wellness programmes, including a pioneering Ayurvedic package, all tailored exclusively to individual guests tensions, tastes or body type (or dosha)!

In the tradition of its unique range of wellness treatments, Soneva Kiri and Soneva Fushi’s Six Senses Spas have designed the programmes to appeal to those wanting a truly holistic approach to healing both body and soul, starting with a gentle round of consultations with fitness and wellness consultants as well as the resort’s Ayurvedic Doctors, and culminating in refined contours and rejuvenated spirits. Guests will of course have ample down time to enjoy all SLOW LIFE activities on offer at the resorts.

Leading the way is the Ayurvedic Wellness Programme where guests can, over a period of between five days and three weeks, have access to the Resident Ayurvedic Doctors and Wellness consultants and in Soneva Kiri’s case, the Ayurvedic kitchen too. Soneva Kiri’s specially trained Indian chef prepares calorie counted menus based on Ayurvedic principals but adapted for modern day, cosmopolitan palates.

Naturally at both resorts, the menus revolve around produce grown in the onsite organic gardens, which guarantee a zero carbon miles feast!

Dosha-specific Ayurvedic treatments together with yoga and meditation sessions help guests detox and reduce stress, among the countless other benefits associated with this ancient Indian science of life.

The popular Sleep Well & De-Stress Programme includes specific spa treatments plus the opportunity for personalised yoga and meditation sessions, all designed to change lives by instilling a deep sense of calm and tranquillity.

In addition, Soneva Kiri will offer Weight Loss Programmes which address every challenge, both physical and emotional, presented in the complicated business of losing weight. BMI (body mass index) and % body fat measurements will be taken on arrival and again on departure to showcase the end result!
There are Puriti detox treatments, Yogic Intestinal cleanses and reams of simple nutritional information and even some soothing words, spoken in Thai naturally, if the temptation to veer off the rails proves too great.

This trio of tailored programmes is available from May 2013 with special low season rates guaranteed until October and available going forwards excluding Christmas, New Year and Easter periods. Prices are based on single occupancy and include domestic flights to the resort (from Bangkok/Male), three meals a day, no alcohol, and all the treatments detailed in the package summary.

Later in the year, the Sonevas look forward to launching brand new Adventure and Romance packages, aimed at adrenalin junkies looking to reconnect with nature and unfulfilled lovers of touch and togetherness. Another first for this side of paradise!

For those who want to improve their sleep quality or dealing with jetlag and insomnia, this specialised treatment offers a gentle path to a peaceful slumber.

Emotions can get stuck due to stress, trauma, catastrophic relationships, or resistance to certain emotions.

The sound and vibration from this session can help bring about awareness and release of negative emotions and trauma, inviting a sense of lightness into your being.

Personalised Sound Journey

A fully customised session using a combination of specially selected sound healing tools and applications to address a combination of physical and/or emotional issues. This will include a pre-session consultation and a post-session review. Additional consultation is possible in blocks of 15 minutes.

Tuning Fork Therapy

This therapeutic session utilises the precise frequencies of tuning forks to promote deep relaxation, balance energy, and enhance overall well-being. When applied to acupressure points, it can release tension and reduce stress. Ideal for those seeking a quick yet impactful therapeutic experience.

Upper Body Tension Release

A cellular massage with sound and vibration to soothe your head, neck, and shoulder areas. Ease the tension from headaches and migraines. These vibration helps lower your heart rate variability, reduce respiratory rates, and relax brain wave patterns.

Brainwave Relaxation Upgrade

This experience is one of absolute serenity, as deep relaxation and soothing sounds open the flow of energy and restore balance and well-being. You can upgrade to other treatments to enhance your overall well-being.
