Four Seasons Resorts Maldives celebrates Global Wellness Day in Maldivian style

Maldives.net.mv – In celebration of Global Wellness Day (Saturday, June 11, 2016) Four Seasons Resorts Maldives are once again pushing out the boat – and kayaks – to encourage guests and staff alike to celebrate and connect in style.
Joining more than 3,000 wellness initiatives in 100 countries across the globe, the festivities will form part of one of 2016’s longest celebrations of the year – which last year panned all time zones, from sunrise in Fiji to sunset in Hawaii.
At Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, the celebratory wellness day starts at 7:00 am with an hour of Tai-chi Chuan and Qigong. Guests will then be encouraged to spend the day exploring the island’s complimentary natural wellness activities: from swimming, kayaking and snorkelling in the lagoon and Coral Gardens to connecting with self and surroundings on the Yoga Energy Trail.
At 5:30 pm, a group run is planned – beginning at Blu and continuing around the entire island – to promote change and unity, health, exploration and wellbeing. The day will end with Wellness Blooming Yoga at 9:00 pm to relax and rejuvenate body and mind.
Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa will be celebrating the day with a complimentary wellness itinerary for staff and guests of all ages, starting with two yoga sessions: 7:00 am at the Pool Deck for adults, followed by 10:30 am in Kids Club.
Next, there’s the chance to learn about juice blends and super food salads during a Healthy Food Cooking Class at Baraabaru, before heading to Turtle Beach for Laughter Yoga at 5:30 pm. As the day winds down, the Marine Discovery Centre will host a Pranic Healing / Vedanta talk at 6:15 pm before starlit meditation at 9:30 pm at Turtle Beach.
Commenting on the Resorts’ events, Sandie Johannessen – Director of Landaa’s Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat – commented, “Global Wellness Day is such a fantastic initiative and something we are extremely proud to be a part of. Wellness is integral to the ethos and offerings at Four Seasons Resorts Maldives, from powerful treatments and therapies to simply getting active – or being still – in nature. It’s about living well and continually moving forward on a journey of physical, emotional and spiritual transformation. We hope we inspire and re-inspire everyone taking part with us this Saturday.”
Happy Global Wellness Day to all from Four Seasons Resorts Maldives!

Global Wellness Day 2025 at Milaidhoo: journey of transformation and reconnection

On Global Wellness Day, celebrated on 14th June 2025, Milaidhoo invites guests to embrace a deeper sense of presence and harmony through its unique wellbeing philosophy rooted in ‘slow living.’ Reflecting the global theme of #ReconnectMagenta, which emphasises the importance of meaningful connections, Milaidhoo’s curated programme encourages guests to reconnect with themselves, the community, and the natural world in one of the most serene settings on Earth.
Situated in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a boutique island retreat; it is a sanctuary for mindful rejuvenation. At Milaidhoo, wellness extends beyond the spa, permeating every detail of the guest experience — from barefoot living and soulful seclusion to fresh, nourishing cuisine and personalised wellness menus designed to support individual journeys of transformation.
Global Wellness Day 2025 at Milaidhoo will begin with a soul-awakening dynamic cleansing and yoga nidra session at 8:00 on an exclusive sandbank. This session offers guests a chance to silence external noise, realign with their inner rhythm, and reconnect with themselves amidst the Indian Ocean horizon.
At 11:00, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a coral plantation activity led by the resort’s marine biologist at the Ocean Stories Aquatic Centre. This interactive conservation initiative allows guests to give back to the local ecosystem and fosters an emotional connection to the broader community of life beneath the waves.
In the afternoon, from 16:00 to 17:00, guests can embark on a guided mindful walking experience around the island. This activity invites participants to reconnect with nature through observation and intention, with each barefoot step across soft sand and lush jungle paths revealing the healing power of nature.
At Milaidhoo, food is an integral part of wellness, with every dish curated with wellbeing in mind. Whether it is plant-based vitality bowls from the Chef’s Garden, fresh-caught seafood, or custom-designed menus tailored to individual health goals, guests are encouraged to nourish not only their bodies but also their senses.
Paul van Frank, Milaidhoo’s general manager, shared, “Our wellness ethos embraces the art of slowing down and living in the moment. Global Wellness Day is an opportunity to remind guests of the power of reconnecting with themselves, with each other, and with the beautiful world around them.”
