Located on the tranquil Vagaru Island in the Shaviyani Atoll, the resort will host a three-day wellness retreat, led by renowned holistic healer Dr. Lisa Schuster, from June 14 to 16, 2025.

A Perfect Blend of Mindfulness, Movement, and Self-Care

To begin with, this immersive event invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the peaceful beauty of the Maldives, providing the perfect balance of mindfulness, movement, and self-care. Known for integrating wellness into every aspect of its guest experience, JW Marriott Maldives has positioned itself as an ideal destination to celebrate the values of Global Wellness Day. Furthermore, the resort’s commitment to well-being ensures that every guest leaves feeling rejuvenated.

Mohit Dembla, General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa, shared his excitement about the event, saying:

“At our resort, wellbeing is woven into every aspect of the guest experience and embraced as a way of life. This collaboration with Dr. Lisa Schuster brings together the power of nature, mindfulness, and purposeful self-care to offer guests a truly enriching experience in honor of Global Wellness Day.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Schuster, a medical doctor based in Munich, brings a holistic approach to wellness, incorporating acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and sound therapy. Her Sound Bath Meditations, which are known for their calming and powerful effects, use crystal singing bowls and other high-vibration instruments to help guests release stress, heal emotional trauma, and reconnect with their inner selves. Through this process, she creates a unique healing experience that nurtures both the body and mind, enabling a truly transformative journey for all participants.

Dr. Schuster’s Healing Philosophy

Dr. Schuster shared her philosophy, saying:

“True wellbeing begins with presence. When we slow down and truly listen to our inner world, we unlock the body’s innate ability to heal and transform. The natural beauty and serenity of JW Marriott Maldives make it the perfect place for this inward journey.”

Her words, therefore, highlight the importance of mindfulness and deep self-reflection in achieving holistic wellness.

Throughout the retreat, guests will follow a thoughtfully designed itinerary focused on relaxation and rejuvenation. Each morning will begin with sound therapy and guided breathwork, followed by wellness elixirs and refreshing bites to energize the body. In the evening, sound bathing sessions at Pool 18 will provide a serene space for reflection and quietude, allowing guests to absorb the peaceful atmosphere around them. Additionally, the resort’s beautiful surroundings enhance the entire experience, adding an extra layer of calm and relaxation that only the Maldives can provide.

Beyond the activities themselves, the setting contributes just as much. More than just a destination for relaxation, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa serves as a sanctuary for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and nature. The resort boasts 60 overwater and beach villas, each with a private pool and stunning ocean views, offering guests ultimate privacy and luxury.
