Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences entertained and inspired guests with a day-long ‘Yogathon’ to celebrate International Yoga Day 2021.

Recognising the important role yoga can play in improving both physical and mental health, the theme of this year’s global event was ‘Yoga for Wellness’. The aim was to show how the practice of yoga can help promote holistic health at a time when the need is more pertinent than ever.

Amilla Maldives kicked the International Yoga Day 2021 off with Sunrise Sun Salutations at its award-winning Javvu Spa. This was followed by Power Yoga at the island’s Movement Pavilion. Amilla’s guest Yogi and Martial Arts expert, Aniket Bhosale, held a yoga lifestyle seminar before guiding guests through a Detox Yoga session.

The day ended with a Yoga Nidra session to help ensure guests at the Baa Atoll resort have blissfully sweet dreams. Each of the yoga sessions showcased parts of Amilla Maldives’ newly-launched Wellness Packages. With five different packages to choose from, they all contain components of yoga and mindfulness.

It was a pleasure to see so much participation in our activities today. So many people around the world are looking for a path to wellness and we are here to help them while they enjoy their sea and sun-filled island holiday in the Maldives.

Laura Pagano, Amilla Maldives’ Javvu Spa Manager.

According to the UN, which founded International Yoga Day, ”The message of yoga in promoting both the physical and mental wellbeing of humanity has never been more relevant. A growing trend of people around the world embracing yoga to stay healthy and rejuvenated and to fight social isolation and depression has been witnessed during the pandemic”.

Amilla’s focus on providing their guests with the best possible foods to suit their tastes also spills over in their delicious cuisine with tailored Wellness You Way menus and an abundance of drink options on their extensive breakfast offering. They have just launched the Maldives Most Ethical Burger for those wanting healthier comfort foods.

InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort Hosts Transformative Yoga Retreat

InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort - Emilia Métaireau

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.
