Angsana Velavaru Elevates Mindful Travel with Immersive Yoga and Wellness Retreat

Angsana Velavaru

This May, Angsana Velavaru takes a fresh step forward in its commitment to holistic travel by introducing a carefully crafted wellness yoga programme. This new offering helps guests reconnect with their wellbeing on a deeper level and moves beyond simple relaxation to foster a true sense of presence through mindful movement and stillness. To add to this immersive experience, the resort will celebrate Global Wellness Day from June 13 to 15 with a special residency by Shubhangi Chauhan, a certified holistic wellness coach and founder of WITHIN, who brings a powerful focus on purposeful living and inner balance.

Mindful Movement and Genuine Connection

Angsana Velavaru thoughtfully creates its yoga programme to blend traditional practices with the needs of today’s wellness travelers. Guests can join complimentary yoga sessions every morning and afternoon, including Sunrise Flow, Breath & Balance, and Hatha Yoga. The resort holds these classes in open-air pavilions or by the beach, offering a peaceful way to start or end the day. These sessions invite participants to calm their minds and nurture their bodies amid soothing ocean breezes and natural light.

For those seeking a more in-depth experience, the resort offers additional paid sessions such as Pranayama, Yin Yoga, and guided Meditation, all leading up to a Restorative Sunset Yoga designed to promote release and renewal. Trained instructors lead all sessions, focusing on presence rather than performance and creating a space for genuine reconnection. The resort also provides personalized private sessions tailored to help guests achieve physical alignment or emotional clarity.

A Path to Healing and Wholeness

Shubhangi Chauhan adds a profound layer of healing to the resort’s wellness offerings through her involvement. Her own journey—from physical burnout to deep self-awareness—informs her approach as the founder of WITHIN, a global community of 23 practitioners dedicated to mental, emotional, and physical health through coaching and compassionate care. During her residency, she offers guests a holistic programme that combines breathwork, strength training, and yoga to enhance flexibility and inner harmony.

Alongside these physical practices, Shubhangi hosts a Wellness Circle that focuses on mental clarity, nutrition, and community connection. One standout moment in her programme includes a blindfolded Free Flow Dance followed by Yoga Nidra, which creates a sacred environment for emotional release and surrender. This collaboration with Angsana Velavaru perfectly illustrates the resort’s belief that true wellness does not rely on rigid routines or escape, but on embracing life’s natural rhythms and finding transformation through stillness.

A Sanctuary for Holistic Renewal

Angsana Velavaru invites guests to embark on a deeply immersive wellness journey that reconnects them with their authentic selves through movement, breath, and touch. The resort situates the award-winning Angsana Spa within the island’s lush surroundings to complement this experience with ancient Asian healing traditions. Skilled therapists deliver treatments like revitalizing body polishes and tension-relieving massages with intuitive care, allowing guests to relax their bodies and quiet their minds within beautifully designed, tranquil spaces.

By combining yoga, mindful practices, and restorative spa therapies, the resort embraces a holistic approach to wellbeing—not as a temporary getaway, but as a return to natural rhythm and presence. In this peaceful island setting, visitors explore transformation through both movement and stillness, supported by expert guidance and a nurturing environment. Angsana Velavaru offers more than a destination; it provides a sanctuary where body, mind, and spirit come together for lasting renewal and connection.

Raise a Glass: Champagne Guy Charbaut Celebrates Five Years of Collaboration with THE OZEN COLLECTION

Champagne Guy Charbaut partners with THE OZEN COLLECTION, offering exclusive events and rare vintages at Maldives’ luxury resorts.

A luxurious Champagne and fine dining experience returns to the Maldives as Champagne Guy Charbaut and THE OZEN COLLECTION celebrate five years of their signature collaboration. From 20 to 26 October 2025, guests at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO and OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI will enjoy a week of exclusive events. These experiences celebrate rare vintages, gourmet cuisine, and island elegance. The collaboration brings together the rich heritage of Champagne Guy Charbaut. A family-run house from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, France with the curated luxury of THE OZEN COLLECTION.

What Makes This Partnership So Special?

Founded in 1936, Champagne Guy Charbaut has spent nearly a century perfecting its craft. The winery creates elegant cuvées shaped by the limestone terroir of the French countryside. Meanwhile, THE OZEN COLLECTION delivers immersive hospitality in some of the world’s most stunning settings. When you bring these two together, you get something pretty special.

That’s exactly what happened here. This partnership blends Champagne, culinary artistry, and island luxury into a one-of-a-kind annual tradition.

Xavier Charbaut puts it perfectly:
“We have discovered something extraordinary with THE OZEN COLLECTION. What began as a meeting of philosophies—our devotion to terroir, their dedication to moments—has blossomed into a tradition that reinvents itself each year. These shores have become a second home for our champagnes. The salt-kissed air seems to amplify their vibrancy. As we raise our glasses to five years of shared excellence, we see not an endpoint, but a horizon brimming with possibilities.”

And that’s not all. Looking ahead, he adds:
The next chapter will unveil even more daring pairings. More intimate encounters with our rarest vintages. And perhaps a few surprises we’re still carefully guarding in our cellars.”

Where and When: Event Highlights at Both Resorts

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO: 20–22 October 2025

26 October – Sunset Pool Party at OZAR
Finally, the week winds down with a golden-hour pool party. Chilled Champagne, music, and sunset views take centre stage. It’s the kind of farewell you won’t forget anytime soon.

A Shared Commitment to Craft and Experience

Of course, the collaboration doesn’t stop when the week ends. Champagne Guy Charbaut’s bottles remain available across both resorts throughout the year.

Whether you’re sipping the Cuvée de Réserve ‘Old Vines’ Brut or the vibrant Rosé 1er Cru Brut, each bottle offers a new reason to celebrate.

Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, sums it up well:
“The union between Champagne Guy Charbaut and THE OZEN COLLECTION represents the very essence of what modern luxury should be. A harmonious dialogue between heritage and innovation, where every detail is considered and every moment is elevated.”
