Maldives is beautiful. Maldives is serene. Maldives has everything that one needs for a tranquil no-hassles vacation. When you spend time in the archipelago, peace of mind comes easy, and spiritual nirvana is available to everyone for the taking.
It doesn’t matter if you stay on a private resort or in a guesthouse on an inhabited island; the simplest of activities in the Maldives leave a long-lasting emphatic impression on the body and the soul.
As a result, the island nation is slowly gaining prominence as a wellness destination. People from across the globe are now visiting the Maldives to relax and revitalize their inner being while savoring a vacation packed with stimulating adventures and amazing sights.
Yoga on the beach
It’s fair to believe that you would want to do as much as possible on the beach when you decide to visit the Maldives. Whether it is a romantic dinner on the sand, a day spent building castles with the tiny-tots, or reading a light-hearted holiday read, the closer you are to the water, the better.
The same is true when we discuss exercising. There’s the opportunity to go running barefoot on the soft sand, but for a more structured approach, partake in pilates or yoga on the beach. Most resorts have yoga classes for their guests, or else just go to any bikini beach on an inhabited island and start with your routine. You’ll find that the gentle sounds of the crashing waves and the spectacular scenery add a whole new element to the asanas.
Top-class spa treatments
Once you step foot on a private resort island, you’ll realize that luxury exudes from every nook and corner and is not just limited to the rooms. Most retreats have a designated spa, featuring a wide range of treatments that help ease the tension our bodies carry due to the pressures of daily life.
But being the Maldives, things are never ordinary. Spas in resorts range from the uber-comfortable to the exotic. Huvafen Fushi has an underwater spa, while Baros Maldives offers massages on a piano deck in the middle of the ocean.
Plenty of retreats have options for indoor and outdoor treatments, ranging from facials and reflexology to the more complex body wraps, hot stone relaxing techniques, and Swedish, Indian, and Balinese massages.
Non-evasive health checks
While most travelers are happy with the occasional wellness activity, several want to have a holistic experience. Retreats such as Velaa Private Island have a professional team that first performs no-evasive checks to better understand your body. Based on the results, they devise a comprehensive program that features activities, dietary suggestions, and treatments to deliver a wholesome wellness encounter.
As expected from a luxury resort in the Maldives, a health program consists of added benefits, including personal trainers and the very best amenities. It is also a chance to work on your body while the Maldives’ natural splendor works wonders on your soul.
Medical spas
A slightly more exclusive possibility than a wellness program is a medical spa. At present, Cocoon Medical Spa at Anantara Kihavah is the leading option in this category, allowing guests to indulge in avant-garde treatments for skin, weight loss, and general wellbeing.
At the most fundamental level, a medical spa offers vitamin drips and oxygen therapy. However, at Cocoon, you can have an epigenetic analysis, a Velashape fat blast for quick fat removal, and a 24-carat gold and collagen facial.
Peaceful natural surroundings
We’ve talked about some of the most expensive treatments you can have in the Maldives. But wellness is not limited to just the rich and the famous. There is so much natural gorgeousness around the islands that you can participate in healthy activities without spending anything extra.
Start your day by meditating on the beach. It’s usually secluded at this time. Then, pick up your snorkeling gear and take a swim. While swimming itself helps you keep fit, the mesmerizing marine life of the Maldives acts as a lovely and colorful distraction.
Once through with your morning routine, it’s time to appreciate the simplicity of Maldivian food; cooked with a few basic ingredients, it is healthy and will leave you feeling happy.
Multiple fitness activities
Sometimes, the best route to achieving mental health is by spending time with the family. Furthermore, thrilling activities often get our adrenalin pumping, which, in turn, has a positive effect on our body. The Maldives presents its guests with an abundance of water and land fitness activities to be enjoyed with friends.
Flyboarding, banana boats, jet skiing, diving, and kayaking will have you bursting with excitement. On land, you can cycle around the island, play football or volleyball on the beach, indulge in tennis, or hit the putting green for some simple sporting action.
Personal training
Everyone has their own exercise routine. Some like to be out and about, while others can only focus when in a gym. You’ll find workout centers across the archipelago, on inhabited islands, and in resorts.
The gyms on islands such as Maafushi and Malé are rudimentary and have limited machines, mostly for weight training and cardio. On the resorts, fitness centers often come with personal trainers and have a technologically advanced training setup featuring the latest cross-trainers, cycles, and rowing machines. Moreover, resort gyms are typically strategically placed, so you can exercise and also enjoy majestic views of the ocean from your treadmill.
