The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has announced a special collaboration with Wellness Practitioner Dr. Shagnika Pradhan. From 19 November to 9 December 2024, Dr. Shagnika will bring her extensive expertise in naturopathy and yogic sciences to Miriandhoo Island. With more than seven years of experience, she combines ancient holistic practices with modern therapies. Her approach aligns perfectly with The Westin’s well-being pillars, which aim to help guests feel, sleep, move, eat, and play well.

Speaking on this collaboration, Vijay Kumar, General Manager of The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort said:

“This collaboration with Dr. Shagnika underscores our commitment to providing enriching wellness experiences for our guests. Her expertise aligns seamlessly with our mission to inspire balance and rejuvenation through holistic programs that embody The Westin’s well-being pillars.”

Dr. Shagnika’s tailored programs allow guests to restore balance and improve relaxation. For example, one of the key offerings, Sleep Enhancement Therapy, helps address sleep issues like insomnia and stress. Specifically, the therapy uses acupuncture, reflexology, herb-infused oil massages, Yoga Nidra, and sound healing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. These techniques encourage deep rest and relaxation. In addition, when combined with The Westin’s Heavenly® Bed and the soothing Sleep Well Lavender Balm, guests will experience complete rejuvenation.

Moreover, in addition to sleep therapy, Dr. Shagnika’s Yoga for Well-being program provides guests with physical strength and mindfulness. It includes Hatha yoga postures, pranayama breathing, and guided meditation. Likewise, other therapies, such as Naturopathic Manipulative Therapy, Reiki Sound Healing, Aqua Yoga Breath Therapy, and personalized consultations, offer a holistic approach to well-being. As a result, these wellness options create a comprehensive path to inner peace and rejuvenation.

Reachable via a 25 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport, or a 20-minute domestic flight followed by a short speedboat transfer, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is located in the Maldives’ first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
