JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort partners with BABOR

Luxury skincare meets island serenity in a new partnership between JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort and BABOR, the German skincare authority renowned for its high-performance, science-driven formulas. This collaboration, therefore, introduces BABOR’s treatments to the Maldives for the first time and creates a destination spa experience unlike any other in the region. Guests at the resort can now explore BABOR’s most exclusive skincare offerings at the Overwater Spa by JW. The spa team curates treatments that seamlessly blend clinical innovation with the restorative calm of the Maldivian seascape, allowing guests to unwind and rejuvenate.

Srikanth Devarapalli, the General Manager of JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort, shared thoughts on the collaboration, emphasizing the resort’s commitment to wellness and luxury.

“At JW Marriott, we curate experiences that celebrate the art of mindful living, sustainability, and our partnership with BABOR reflects our commitment to unparalleled luxury and holistic well-being. Together, we are redefining wellness with transformative treatments at Spa by JW, that harmonize precision skincare with the serene beauty of the Maldives.”

BABOR Makes Its Maldivian Debut with a Flagship Collection

Through this collaboration, JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll becomes the first resort in the Maldives to offer BABOR’s SeaCreation range—its most prestigious line of anti-aging treatments. BABOR formulates SeaCreation using marine-based biotechnology and potent actives drawn from ocean depths to revitalize skin and restore luminosity. As a result, guests experience visibly transformative results.

The Ocean Bliss treatment—designed exclusively for the resort—anchors the new spa menu. This immersive ritual, furthermore, combines BABOR’s advanced SeaCreation formulations with sensory elements drawn from the surrounding marine environment. The Overwater Spa by JW offers this treatment across its expansive villas, which feature six overwater treatment rooms that invite guests to connect deeply with the rhythm of the sea while experiencing visible, restorative results.

Tim Waller, Co-CEO of BABOR BEAUTY GROUP, highlighted the importance of luxury in today’s fast-paced world.

“In today’s fast-paced world, true luxury lies in moments of tranquility and self-care. Our partnership with JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort allows us to craft those moments, offering guests a skincare experience that is as indulgent as it is results-driven.”

For BABOR, this partnership marks a significant milestone as it continues to expand its global footprint in the luxury wellness space. Moreover, with each new collaboration, the brand strengthens its position at the intersection of skincare science and indulgence.

A Wellness Destination Where Nature and Design Align

Located just 15 minutes by boat from Velana International Airport, JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort sits within Kaafu Atoll’s largest natural lagoon. The resort showcases 80 thoughtfully designed private pool villas—including 47 overwater villas—each blending traditional Maldivian design with modern elegance to create an immersive and luxurious island retreat.

Guests can also savor global flavors across five dining venues and two bars, where the culinary team highlights fresh ingredients sourced from the resort’s own JW Garden. Every element of the experience, therefore, supports guest well-being—through nourishment, relaxation, movement, and mindfulness.

Together, JW Marriott Kaafu Atoll Island Resort and BABOR forge a new path in wellness travel, where world-class skincare, transformative rituals, and the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives converge in harmony.

This summer, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with yourself. In celebration of International Yoga Day on June 21st, the resort hosts an immersive five-day yoga retreat from June 20th to 24th, guided by the highly experienced and respected yoga instructor Emilia Métaireau. With its serene surroundings, the retreat provides a peaceful sanctuary for wellness seekers to refresh their mind, body, and spirit while embracing the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and mindful movement.

A Mid-Summer Reset in Paradise

Held at an ideal time for a mid-summer reset, this retreat invites participants to rediscover their inner balance in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Surrounded by the Maldives’ crystal-clear waters, vibrant reefs, and unspoiled beauty, guests step away from their routines and focus on restoring their energy and clarity. Moreover, Emilia, whose teachings span over a decade and more than 2,500 hours of global experience, brings a grounded and expansive presence to the experience. She blends breathwork, ancient wisdom, and conscious movement, guiding each guest toward a deeper connection with themselves.

A Thoughtful and Immersive Daily Practice

The retreat begins each day with rejuvenating sunrise yoga, allowing guests to wake up and center themselves before embracing the day ahead. In the evenings, the focus shifts to calming rituals designed to soothe the body and still the mind. To enhance this immersive experience further, guided meditations and energy healing practices integrate seamlessly into the program, creating a journey of self-discovery and spiritual connection. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to help participants not only practice yoga but also experience the deeper emotional and mental benefits that come with it.

Exploring the Five Koshas: A Journey Inward

A key focus of the retreat is the ancient yogic philosophy of the five koshas—five interconnected layers of being that shape our experiences of life, health, and spirituality. These layers include the physical body (Annamaya Kosha), the energy body (Pranamaya Kosha), the mental body (Manomaya Kosha), the intellectual body (Vijnanamaya Kosha), and the bliss body (Anandamaya Kosha). Throughout the retreat, guests explore these layers through mindful movement, meditation, and yoga, with each practice designed to bring them closer to a state of peace, clarity, and self-awareness.

Luxurious Spa Treatments to Complement Your Journey

Adding to the holistic experience, guests indulge in treatments at the resort’s luxurious AVI Spa, a sanctuary perched over the water and designed to promote deep relaxation and wellness. Named after the local word for “sunshine,” AVI Spa offers a variety of signature treatments and therapies that nurture the body and soul, perfectly complementing the retreat’s focus on mindfulness and rejuvenation.

An Idyllic Setting for Renewal and Rejuvenation

Furthermore, the stunning location of the resort enhances the retreat experience. Situated at the southern tip of Raa Atoll, bordering a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and a juvenile manta ray aggregation site, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers a peaceful and inspiring backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, it provides exclusive benefits to guests, including indulgent amenities and luxurious accommodations. The resort features overwater villas, an adults-only area, an exquisite spa, and a variety of dining options, ensuring that each guest enjoys a complete experience of luxury and wellness.
