The Standard, Maldives, by Hyatt invites guests to embrace the art of mindful living with a month long celebration dedicated to wellness, vitality, and self-care. Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and  the resort's signature laid-back island energy, Wellness Month blends nourishing cuisine, mindful movement, and restorative  spa experiences into a thoughtfully curated programme designed to help guests reconnect, recharge, and rediscover balance. Throughout August, a month globally recognized for promoting healthy living and holistic wellbeing, the vibrant island retreat  presents a collection of wellness-focused experiences centred around two of the resort's most beloved venues: Joos Café and The Standard Spa, the resort’s overwater wellness sanctuary, dedicated to relaxation and renewal. 

At the heart of the celebration is a four-week culinary journey available exclusively at Joos Café for USD 49 net per person.  Designed to nourish the body, refresh the mind, and elevate overall wellbeing, each week introduces a new wellness theme  through carefully crafted dishes, functional beverages, and guilt-free desserts. 

Commenting on the initiative, Nandakumar Dharuman, Director of Culinary at The Standard, Maldives, shared: "Our goal was to create a wellness journey that feels inspiring rather than restrictive. By combining nutrient-rich ingredients, functional  beverages, and thoughtfully crafted dishes, we invite guests to discover that healthy eating can be both nourishing and deeply  enjoyable. Wellness, after all, should be a celebration of flavour and balance." 

The culinary journey begins with a refreshing focus on renewal and hydration, inviting guests to rebalance and recharge  through a selection of light, nourishing creations designed to support natural vitality. Highlights include the Hydration Garden Bowl, paired with the revitalising Green Zen Elixir, while the naturally sweet Tropical Fruit Symphony provides a refreshing finish. Crafted with nutrient-rich ingredients and vibrant tropical produce, these dishes offer the perfect reset amid the idyllic surroundings of the Maldives. 

As the wellness celebration progresses, the spotlight turns to the abundance and versatility of plant-based cuisine. Colourful seasonal vegetables, wholesome grains, and naturally nourishing ingredients come together in dishes that celebrate the  power of plants while demonstrating that wellness can be both satisfying and exceptionally flavourful. Within the second  week, guests can discover the Kale & Quinoa Bowl, complemented by the nutrient-packed Iron Boost Green Juice, before indulging in the wholesome yet decadent Guilt-Free Avocado Chocolate Cake. 

The experience then evolves into a celebration of mindful indulgence, embracing the philosophy that self-care and culinary pleasure can exist in perfect harmony. Inspired by the simple joy of enjoying life's luxuries without compromise, guests are  invited in the third week to savour the fresh flavours of Mediterranean Caprese Bliss, paired with the vibrant Morning Glow  Smoothie, before concluding with the velvety Coconut Wellness Brûlée. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented,  each creation proves that indulgence can be every bit as nourishing as it is satisfying. 

Bringing the journey to a close is a menu inspired by restoration, radiance, and inner vitality. Featuring ingredients selected  for their rejuvenating benefits, guests can enjoy the fresh and flavourful Glow Tuna Niçoise, accompanied by the nutrient-rich  Island Beet Beauty Smoothie. The experience concludes with the colourful and refreshing Radiance Fruit Platter, leaving  guests feeling revitalised, energised, and glowing as Wellness Month draws to a close. 

Complementing the resort's wellness-focused gastronomy, The Standard Spa invites guests on a holistic journey of  movement, mindfulness, and rejuvenation. Suspended above crystal-clear waters and surrounded by panoramic ocean views,  the overwater wellness sanctuary has curated a schedule of experiences designed to nurture both body and mind throughout  the month. 

Guests can greet the morning with a series of complimentary wellness practices, including Heart Opening Yoga every Tuesday  and Friday, Pranayama breathing sessions every Wednesday and Saturday, and Therapeutic Yoga every Thursday and  Sunday. Practiced against the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean, these sessions encourage mindfulness, flexibility,  and inner balance while embracing the healing power of nature. As the day transitions into evening, guests are invited to  continue their wellness journey with restorative experiences including Sound Healing Meditation on Mondays, Fridays, and  Sundays, as well as Chakra Balancing sessions every Tuesday. These immersive practices are designed to promote deep  relaxation, emotional wellbeing, and energetic alignment. 

Exclusively highlighted during Wellness Month, guests can further elevate their self-care journey with the spa's signature  Deep Relaxation Massage. Designed to release tension, improve circulation, and restore inner harmony, the treatment  combines therapeutic massage techniques with carefully selected essential oils applied both topically and through inhalation  to create a profound sense of tranquillity. Available at USD 150 for 60 minutes and USD 185 for 90 minutes, the experience  offers a restorative escape inspired by the tranquil rhythms of island life. To extend the benefits beyond the treatment room,  guests booking a minimum 60-minute session will receive a complimentary home-care product, allowing them to continue  their wellbeing journey long after leaving the Maldives. Combining expert touch with the calming energy of the Indian Ocean,  the treatment embodies The Standard Spa's holistic approach to wellness and self-care. 

From vibrant wellness cuisine and nourishing tropical flavours to deeply restorative spa experiences, this August, The  Standard, Maldives offers a celebration of wellbeing that is as indulgent as it is inspiring. Guests are invited to slow down,  reconnect with themselves, and discover a more mindful way of living while surrounded by the unparalleled beauty of the  Maldives. 

InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort has debuted ‘Calm Waters: Swim with Nurse Sharks,’ a new, thoughtfully designed package that pairs adventure with holistic wellness and marine education in the pristine quietude of the Raa Atoll. As experiential travel continues to evolve, today’s luxury traveler is seeking more than just beautiful surroundings - they are drawn to meaningful, educational, and deeply personal opportunities to connect with the natural world in ways that are both responsible and transformative. Boasting one of the most accessible nurse shark snorkeling spots in the Maldives, just a ten-minute boat ride from the resort, InterContinental Maldives is ideal place to observe these docile creatures in their natural habitat. 

At the heart of the experience is a guided swim with nurse sharks, offering guests a rare opportunity to  observe these fascinating creatures, renowned for their calm, docile nature, up close in their natural  habitat. Designed to foster both confidence and curiosity, the experience is preceded by a complimentary presentation led by one of the resort’s resident marine biologists. Hosted two days prior to the excursion, the session aims to debunk common misconceptions surrounding sharks while providing meaningful insight into their behavior and ecological importance. Complete with light refreshments and an interactive Q&A, the presentation serves as both an educational touchpoint and a gentle introduction to the experience ahead. 

Reflecting InterContinental Maldives’ commitment to wellness-led travel, the Calm Waters experience extends beyond the ocean, incorporating a series of thoughtfully curated spa rituals designed to prepare and uniquely restore both body and mind. On the morning of the swim, guests are invited to take part in a pre-swim ritual, with a 60-minute Morning Meditation & Slow Stretch session held in the resort’s waterfront Yoga Pavilion. Guided breathwork and mindful movement gently awaken the senses, helping guests feel grounded, centered, and present before entering the water, a  specially designed amenity to ensure guests feel comfortable and fully engaged. USD $35++ per person (group session).  

When it’s time to enter the water, the resort’s marine team carefully assesses shark activity and visibility in Maamunagau Lagoon, ensuring conditions that feel calm and unhurried. There is no chasing or feeding, just the quiet experience of floating alongside nurse sharks as they rest on sandy seabeds or glide gently along the reef. Guests are invited to observe from a respectful distance,  facilitating an encounter that is defined less by adrenaline and more by a sense of peaceful  coexistence with these docile creatures. Gentle and accessible, the experience is well-suited to  families, providing guests of all ages with a memorable introduction to ocean ecosystems and  conservation (USD $120+). 

Following the swim, a selection of optional restorative rituals at the award-winning AVI Spa allow guests to unwind and reflect on their encounter. The Floating Sound Healing offers a deeply immersive moment of relaxation, as guests are cradled in water while therapeutic sound vibrations  restore balance and promote a profound sense of inner calm (USD $150+). For those seeking a more comprehensive treatment, the Maldivian Essence ritual draws on local healing traditions throughout the 120-minute full-body experience that is purposefully designed to soothe muscles, nourish the skin,  and rebalance the senses (USD $280+). 

By seamlessly integrating guest education, responsible marine practices, and restorative wellness, the  ‘Calm Waters: Swim with Nurse Sharks’ package redefines the concept of ocean exploration - transforming it into a mindful, multi-sensorial journey. Whether floating through crystal-clear waters alongside these gentle creatures or surrendering to moments of stillness in the spa, guests are invited to deepen their connection to nature in a way that is both exhilarating and profoundly grounding. 

At Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, wellness continues to evolve with intention and care. At the heart of this journey is Chootima Losakul (Joy), Spa Manager, whose thoughtful approach has been quietly shaping the island’s wellness experience.

Originally from Thailand, her career spans guest relations to spa leadership, shaping a perspective rooted in cultural sensitivity, personalised care, and meaningful connection.

At Spa Alila, her influence is reflected in a renewed vision where wellness extends beyond treatments into a curated rhythm of daily practices inspired by the island.

Introducing Mandala Meditation Ink Drawing

Wellness Focus: A Monthly Ritual of Renewal

At Spa Alila, wellness is approached as an evolving journey. Each month, we introduce a unique offering, featuring thoughtfully curated rituals that intuitively respond to the rhythms of travel, rest, and restoration.

Wellness continues to evolve through curated monthly rituals. The current highlight, the Alila De-Stress Package, is designed to ease travel fatigue and tension through a 30-minute facial and 45-minute targeted massage, with personalised options such as back and neck, head and scalp, or leg and foot therapies. The experience is subtle, restorative, and deeply calming.

A Thoughtful Evolution of the Spa Experience

“Joy has brought a quiet yet impactful energy to our wellness offering,” said Thomas Weber, General Manager. “Her approach feels authentic to both the island and the Alila philosophy.”

 Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, part of Sun Siyam’s Luxury Collection, introduces a transformative Wellness Reset Programme from June 15–21 in celebration of Global Wellness Week, in partnership with health coach and biohacker Regina Gimranova. Focused on functional longevity and sustainable energy, the programme blends advanced health optimisation with the island's restorative power, offering guests a refined and immersive wellness experience in the Maldives.

From "Exhale to Expansion": A Masterclass in Human Potential

The programme transitions guests from high velocity "city mode" into a state of "Expansion." Guests return home not just rejuvenated but deeply integrated and empowered. The curriculum is fully inclusive, with Regina providing variations tailored to every level of experience. Participation is open to guests aged 18 and above.

The Architecture of the Reset

Each morning features a specific yoga style, from restorative Yin to Power flows, tailored to the day’s biological theme. These sessions are held amidst nature from 08:00 to 09:00. In the late afternoon, between 17:00 and 18:30, science-based workshops at serene beachside locations provide practical tools to regulate the nervous system.

The curriculum progresses from the biology of cortisol and emotional intelligence to advanced sessions on neuroplasticity and the architecture of perception. Participants engage in transformative somatic practices, including lying-down breathwork and the "Ocean of Calm" immersion, all designed to shift the body from chronic stress to lasting stillness.

The programme culminates in an integration session, equipping guests with "carry-on" techniques—such as five-minute morning resets—ensuring the vitality found in the Maldives translates into a sustainable lifestyle back home.

This holistic wellness ethos extends to the resort’s dining, where 30% of every menu is dedicated to plant-based and vegan cuisine as part of the signature Plant-Based Bliss experience. 

“Guests increasingly seek self-care, personal growth, and a deep connection with nature. As conscious hoteliers, and in line with our promise to Champion Extraordinary Experiences, our mission has evolved to be more constructive and human; we design experiential moments to ensure that no guest leaves the same way they arrived, fostering a lasting positive shift and a renewed sense of purpose,” - highlighted Abdulla Atham, Resort Manager.
