Jumeirah Dhevanafushi

Maldives Promotion House – From June 2013 Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, situated in a privileged and secluded location at the southernmost tip of the Maldives, will give guests the opportunity to further distance themselves from the frenzy of modern life with a new ‘Welcome to Wellness’ package.

A true secret hideaway in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Jumeirah Dhevanafushi is the ultimate relaxation and wellbeing retreat. Upon booking, guests will be contacted by the hotel’s dedicated wellbeing team to highlight any particular concerns; whether suffering stress, concerned about vitamin balance or looking for an energy boost, guests will benefit from the holistic approach of the experts at Dhevanafushi to help them unwind and get back on top form.

Each day in this dream holiday destination will begin with a fresh smoothie, delivered to the guest’s villa door, specially tailored to provide a much-needed nudge towards good health. Then head to a choice of scenic island locations for a personalised tutorial with the resort’s specialist yoga master as the sun rises.

Talise Spa at Jumeirah Dhevanafushi
The peaceful Talise Spa is the perfect place to continue the stress-free schedule. Suspended over the gently rippling waves, the 3 private over-water treatment rooms are generously equipped with water-views, space for couples’ treatments, and hammam, steam and sauna incorporated into the areas for complete privacy. Enjoy a complimentary foot massage followed by a consultation with the knowledgeable staff for a selection of tailor-made and signature rituals to assist in achieving a healthful physical, mental and spiritual balance.

House Reef at Jumeirah Dhevanafushi
Every villa on the island, whether beach or water based, comes complete with its own private pool and day beds, so guests can soak up the sun or splash their stresses away in absolute privacy. And with snorkelling equipment provided free of charge, there’s every opportunity to explore the vibrant underwater coral gardens famed for their abundance of fish and turtles. Your personal butler will be happy to snorkel with you as an expert guide to identify underwater sights. Fishing, a PADI 5-star dive centre, sailing, kite-surfing, and water-skiing are available to keep guests active and revitalised. The main island also features a 70m² fully equipped over-water gym, with a complimentary personal training session to help shake off the travel tiredness.

Begin your evenings in paradise with a complimentary super juice to reflect as the sun sets. Then opt for international cuisine at Azara, seafood and grill specialties at Mumayaz, or fine dining at Johara, where every menu will incorporate the freshest locally sourced ingredients available. Guests can relax as they relish the rarity of treating themselves to healthful food they can enjoy throughout their stay.

The ‘Welcome to Wellness’ Package is available from June 2013, and is priced from 1200 USD per villa per night.

Drawing on traditional knowledge and contemporary practice, the practitioners will offer therapies at the resort’s overwater spa designed to align body, mind, and spirit in a tranquil Maldivian setting. Disciplines include Ayurveda, energy-based therapies, sound healing, and mindful movement, with personalised consultations and bespoke treatments available.

Using wellness screening technologies to assess biomarkers, he designs tailored treatment plans. Guests may book a complimentary consultation and choose from signature therapies such as TCM Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, Marma Abhyanga, and Back Restoration Therapy.

Holistic therapist and Ayurvedic healer Sharath Ram brings more than 16 years’ experience in supporting physical, mental, and spiritual balance. His work combines Ayurveda with energy practices and therapeutic yoga to encourage both recovery and transformation. His specialities include Chakra Inner Energy Balancing, Ayurveda Deep Fusion Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Maderotherapy, and Mind-Body Healing. He will also lead complimentary workshops, including The Art of Breathing and Dynamic Meditation, focusing on breathwork and movement to promote calm and clarity.

From Kerala, India, Vinod Narayanan offers over a decade of experience in Ayurveda, yoga, and holistic healing across Europe, Africa, and Asia, including service as a personal physician to dignitaries. At Anantara Kihavah he will provide therapies such as Himalayan Sound Healing Massage, De-Armouring Body Therapy, Abdominal Detox, Access Bars Energy Healing, and Gut-Brain Rewiring. Using vibration, touch, and energy alignment, his sessions aim to release emotional blockages, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural rhythm. Complimentary consultations are available, alongside sound-based journeys that seek to harmonise body and spirit.

Together, the practitioners complement Anantara Kihavah’s wellbeing philosophy, extending from Ayurvedic traditions to sound therapy. Guests are invited to the overwater Anantara Spa for bespoke treatments, meditative workshops, and one-to-one consultations that encourage connection with self and nature.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa invites guests to reconnect with mind, body, and spirit from November 15-19, 2025, through two inspiring collaborations that celebrate sports and wellness in the heart of paradise. The resort will welcome Jackson Withrow, a celebrated American professional tennis player and winner of 10 ATP doubles titles, and Dawn Sim, a renowned Singapore-based yoga instructor and wellness ambassador, for a series of exclusive guest experiences designed to inspire connection, vitality, and inner balance.

Set amidst the shimmering turquoise waters and lush tropical surroundings of the resort, these curated programs offer guests the extraordinary opportunity to engage with world-class professionals through immersive sessions that blend movement, mindfulness, and Maldivian serenity. From the thrill of perfecting a serve alongside an elite athlete to the calm of a sunrise yoga flow by the ocean’s edge, each experience reflects Sheraton Maldives’ dedication to fostering connection and wellbeing in a truly idyllic setting.

From November 15-16, the spotlight turns to the tennis court, where Jackson Withrow, who achieved a career-high doubles ranking of World No. 16 in 2024, will host a two-day Tennis Experience that brings professional sports to paradise. On November 15, guests can join Jackson for an interactive Doubles Clinic, learning advanced techniques, teamwork strategies, and court fundamentals. The session will conclude with a relaxed autograph signing and Q&A, offering a glimpse into life on the ATP Tour.

The excitement continues on November 16, as Jackson returns to the court for a Tennis Engagement Activation, where guests can watch his personal training session before joining him for friendly on-court challenges, including the opportunity to return his serve or rally alongside a world-class athlete.

Following a weekend of exhilarating sports, guests can look forward to a more tranquil rhythm as the resort shifts its focus toward mindfulness and rejuvenation. Beginning November 18, Dawn Sim will guide guests on a journey of serenity and self-awareness. A certified yoga instructor who has led sessions at Glow Fest 2024 and The Singapore Edition, Dawn brings her holistic approach to wellness to the tranquil shores of Sheraton Maldives.

Her wellness activations will take place in two of the resort’s most picturesque settings — Sunrise Yoga at Kakuni Beach on November 18 and Sunset Gentle Stretch at Anchorage Beach on November 19. Each session will offer guests a soothing, restorative experience that harmonises body and mind, surrounded by the gentle sounds of the ocean and the radiant hues of sunrise and sunset.

“At Sheraton Maldives, we take pride in curating experiences that bring people together through shared passions and authentic connections,” said Greg Allan, General Manager of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa. “From world-class tennis sessions with Jackson Withrow to mindful wellness sessions with Dawn Sim, these collaborations embody our island’s spirit of balance.”

Nestled on a private island in North Malé Atoll, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa continues to redefine meaningful travel through experiences that inspire connection, wellness, and discovery. This November’s activations perfectly capture the resort’s commitment to creating memorable moments that unite guests through sports, wellness, and the island lifestyle — celebrating the true essence of “where the world comes together.”
