The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, located in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, celebrates Global Wellness Day on June 14 with a full-day programme focused on sustainable living, cultural connection, and holistic well-being.

This year, the resort isn’t just highlighting wellness, it’s inviting guests to experience it in meaningful, hands-on ways. The resort bases its wellness programming on Westin’s five pillars of well-being: Feel Well, Eat Well, Sleep Well, Move Well, and Play Well, and offers a thoughtful blend of immersive experiences, healthy cuisine, and mindful movement. All in all, it’s a celebration that goes far beyond the surface. This year’s event encourages guests to go beyond traditional wellness by actively connecting with the environment and the local community.

What’s happening for Global Wellness Day at The Westin Maldives?

A special visit to Anhenfushi Island and its hydroponic farm

To kick off the day, guests embark on an enriching island excursion to Anhenfushi Island, home to the Maldivian Mermaid Hydroponic Farm. Not only is the farm known for its commitment to fresh, locally sourced produce, but it also gives guests a unique window into sustainable agriculture in the Maldives.

Here’s what to expect during the visit:

• First, guests join a guided garden tour through lush beds of leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables
• After that, they’ll watch a live cooking demo by the resort’s culinary team, featuring wholesome dishes made with ingredients straight from the farm
• To wrap things up, there’s a Farmer’s Market-style display where guests can browse and shop fresh, island-grown produce

It’s a refreshing way to start the day, one that blends discovery, nutrition, and nature in one memorable experience.

On-resort wellness activities throughout the day

Once guests return to The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, the wellness journey continues with a full schedule of activities designed to uplift, energise, and ground.

Here’s what’s planned:

• Morning begins with Sunrise Yoga, a calm, centering way to welcome the day
• Later on, guests can jump into a game of Water Volleyball or take part in other upbeat beach activities that mix movement with fun
• Those in the mood for something hands-on can join a Boreh Making Class, where they’ll create natural scrubs using local spices like turmeric, ginger, and clove
• And finally, as the sun goes down, the day winds to a close with a peaceful Night Meditation session on the clam-shell-shaped arrival jetty, the gentle rhythm of the ocean making it the perfect pre-sleep ritual

Each activity has its own pace and energy, so guests can follow what feels right for them throughout the day.

Digital storytelling on Instagram

Of course, the experience isn’t just limited to those on the island. To bring the celebration online, the resort shares a special video on Instagram (@thewestinmaldives). This short film gives a glimpse into the atmosphere of Global Wellness Day in the Maldives, not just what it looks like, but what it feels like.

Viewers can expect to see the soft sand, hear the ocean breeze, and get a taste of the rituals, rhythms, and sensory details that shape the resort’s approach to well-being. In other words, it’s a digital escape that brings the essence of the day straight to your screen.

Wellness at the core of every experience

At the heart of it all, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort doesn’t treat Global Wellness Day as a standalone event. Instead, it builds on the idea that wellness is something to live and breathe every day.

This mindset runs through every part of the guest experience, from villas that blend comfort with the beauty of the natural world, to holistic wellness offerings that balance energy and rest, to nourishing meals that make healthy eating feel effortless. The resort views Global Wellness Day as a reminder to pause, reconnect, and check in with yourself, a reflection of Westin’s wellness-forward ethos that shapes everything they do.

So whether you’re stretching at sunrise, learning how island farms grow produce sustainably, creating your own spice-based scrub, or simply letting go under the stars, the resort ensures that wellness feels easy, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable. Most importantly, it roots everything in the culture and nature of the Maldives, making each moment personal, immersive, and meaningful.
