Marion Aliabadi, CEO of Designreisen, will take you along on a very special journey to the Maledives and introduce you to these three extraordinary Wellness & Wellbeing resorts on the paradise-like islands in the Indian Ocean.

AMILLA Maldives Resort & Residences

Once upon a time, pleasure stood at the forefront, nowadays it has been replaced by well-being. That means good food, exercise, spa treatments and joys, mindfulness – the red thread of wellbeing leads through this entire resort. The new manager couple sets high store on sustainability and spirituality. They have come to recognize that guests at a modern five-star resort have a yearning for wellbeing, healing and sustainability. At the very heartbeat of this constellation at the AMILLA is wholesome, healthy cuisine. A large part of the products which are used in the kitchen are crops grown directly at the resort itself.

JOALI BEING

The retreat which opened in 2021 defines itself as a 360-degree well-being resort. The concept behind it is based on four pillars: spirit, skin, body and energy. These foundations promise an all-encompassing approach and the highest imaginable whollop of well-being. Responsible for this boast is a specially tuned combination of natural healing practices, healthy nutrition, yoga, pilates and acoustical sound workshops. Guests can rely on the expertise of the native healers, therapists and nutritional counsellors. Their aim is to bestow every guest with new energy and a feeling of weightlessness in such a way that they will enjoy this state for a long time after their return home.

SONEVA JANI

The place-to-be for all lovers of nature who yet do not wish to dispense with luxury. A particular feature is the spa which floats above the mangrove trees and provides truly first-class treatments, ranging from Ayurveda all the way to classic massages. For all those who wish to bring body and soul into dynamic harmony, the yoga pavilion and the meditation platform provide superb spots for it. Also here high above the crowns of the trees, breathtaking views of the turquoise hued lagoon can be enjoyed without limit.
