Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa introduces a new pampering babymoon package for mothers-to-be
Maldives.net.mv – Pregnancy can be a stressful time for mothers-to-be, affecting both the body and mind which is why luxury five-star hotel, Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, is inviting parents-to-be to unwind and relax together at this romantic and secluded destination, with the new Babymoon package, making the most of the quiet time before their new member of the family arrives.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa’s new six-day Babymoon offering has been specially designed to prepare, relax and reinvigorate mothers-to-be, with pampering treatments taking place at the hotel’s luxurious Vindhun Spa. Hidden amongst lush Maldivian gardens in the heart of the resort’s private island, the Vindhun Spa is serene and private, with professional and experienced spa therapists who go to every effort to ensure they deliver an authentic and relaxing Maldivian experience for all guests.
Embarking on the first day of this six-day pampering journey, mothers-to-be are applied the Vindhun Spa’s signature scent on arrival, designed to refresh and revitalise, as well as being offered a fresh coconut to drink, the national fruit of the Maldives, for rehydration purposes.
Treatments can take place in one of the spa’s five treatment villas, all boasting beautifully made thatched roofs, or can be enjoyed in the privacy of guests’ own villas. On the first day of the Babymoon package, mothers-to-be are invited to enjoy the soothing benefits of a complimentary mineral salt foot scrub to stimulate nerve endings, before the specially created pregnancy massage begins. Focusing on the legs, arms, back and shoulders the Vindhun spa pregnancy massage increases circulation and removes the aches and pains brought about through pregnancy.
Using Maldivian indigenous healing knowledge and freshly harvested local herbs, the Vindhun spa therapists are experts in reinvigorating mind, body and spirit, helping to prepare mothers-to-be for the imminent big change in their lives. Following any Babymoon package treatment, guests are invited to relax in the shaded and beautiful tropical gardens that surround the Vindhun spa where they will be served refreshing herbal teas and sorbets.
For those mothers-to-be in need of some gentle activity during their holiday, the Babymoon package offers a special Aqua yoga class on the second day of this journey, taught by a highly trained yogic teacher. The class is designed to have a calming yet energising effect on the body, and takes place in the Vindhun Spa’s own spectacular infinity pool, shaded by the exotic plants. Supported in the calm warm water during this thirty minute class, mothers-to-be will find that they are more flexible and confident than before.
To ensure expectant mothers are feeling thoroughly relaxed and pampered throughout their holiday, on the third day of the package they will enjoy a gentle head and shoulder massage. This signature treatment from the qualified therapists at the Vindhun Spa uses pressured circular motions to remove tension in the shoulders, which become tight in times of stress, and harness the natural healing and moisturising properties of the natural massage oils used by the spa. The gentle head massage is a calming and restful experience, aimed at assisting with sleep and reducing anxiety.
Guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy a private pregnancy yoga and breathing class on the fourth day of the Babymoon package. This one hour private session can take place in the resort’s purpose built yoga studio or in the seclusion of the guests’ own villa, and aims at demonstrating to mothers-to-be the importance of stretching and exercising gently whilst expecting a baby. Expectant mothers will be given specific exercises to take home even after their holiday at Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, designed to clear the mind, focus on breathing, and energise them for future months to come.
On the penultimate day of the Babymoon package, expectant mothers-to-be are invited to enjoy a unique Abhyanyam massage at the Vindhan Spa. A nourishing treatment that improves blood circulation throughout the body but being careful to avoid the stomach, the massage is perfect for any expectant mother. Lasting a full hour and a half, this is a deeply relaxing experience in which to reflect and recuperate.
Concluding their week of indulgence, mothers-to-be will be given a tailor-made rehydrating facial, which will leave them with a refreshed and glowing complexion. Harnessing the purifying properties of papaya, mango and pineapples, the facial deeply cleanses the skin, before restoring moisture with a rehydrating mandarin masque.
It’s not just mothers-to-be who can enjoy this new Babymoon offering either! Fathers-to-be can also enjoy bespoke spa treatments at the Vindhun Spa, or for those keen to stay active, why not head out to find some of the best dive sites in the world, go fishing, snorkelling, kayaking or just enjoy a good book on the beautiful white sand beach and get away from it all.

W Maldives, a luxury private-islandresort with one of the best house reefs in the Maldives, will welcome neuroscientist, meditation coach, and wellness innovator, and Brainwave founder Anne-Sophie Fluri for The Restore Ritual, taking place from September 14 to 20, 2026.
The week-long wellness residency will combine neuroscience, mindfulness, and immersive island experiences, offering guests a new perspective on mental well-being. Through a series of guided practices, Fluri will explore how mental fitness can be developed with the same intention as physical wellness.
The Restore Ritual is the latest installment of The Wavemaker Edit, W Maldives’ signature series featuring global innovators across culinary, mixology, music, art, design, sustainability, and wellness. Set against the natural beauty of the Maldives, the week-longresidency brings a science-led approach to mental well-beingthrough experiences designed to encourage curiosity, reflection, and meaningful connection.
For Fluri, well-beingbegins with understanding the mind. Her work is built on the belief that resilience, focus, and emotional well-beingare skills that can be strengthened through science-backed practices and daily rituals. Rather than treating wellness as an occasional escape, she encourages people to develop sustainable habits that support a calmer, more present way of living, combining neuroscience with mindfulness to make mental fitness both practical and accessible.
Her career spans neuroscience research, technology, and wellness. During her Master of Research in Experimental Neuroscience at Imperial College London, Fluri contributed to pioneering research in psychedelic science and migraine treatment. She later earned a scholarship to develop algorithms addressing motion sickness in virtual reality.
Fluri went on to serve as Head of Mindfulness at a mental fitness platform and Chief Science Officer at a sleep technologycompany. She now develops neuroscience-based products and leads Brainwave, a global platform delivering science-backed talks, workshops, coaching and events delivered by scientists and academics.
Throughout the residency, Fluri will personally lead every session, using the island’s natural surrounds as a setting for explorationand reflection. The program will include sunrise meditationoverlookingthe Indian Ocean, conscious breathwork and visualization, invigorating ice bath challenge, and restorative rituals held in selected locations across the island. Sessions will unfold at settings including Coral Terrace, surrounded by the resort’s award-winning house reef, and the secluded shores of Gaathafushi Private Island. Each location brings nature into the experience, creating moments where nature and neuroscience come together in harmony.
“The Wavemaker Edit was created to bring inspiring voices and fresh perspective to W Maldives,”said Amila Handunwala, General Managerof W Maldives. “Anne-Sophierepresents a new generation of wellness innovators who combine scientific knowledge with genuine human connection. The Restore Ritual offers our guests an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and discover that wellbeing extends far beyond the spa. It is about creating experiences that stay with you long after you leave the island.”
Guests interested in experiencing The Restore Ritual and the resort’s evolving calendar of cultural and wellness programming can book the Half Board Escape package, availableuntil August 31, 2026. This package includes a stay with daily buffet breakfast, a daily three-course dinner at selected dining venues, and an in-room W MixBar stocked with non-alcoholicbeverage.
