In celebration of Global Wellness Day on June 14, 2025, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is offering an immersive wellness retreat led by internationally renowned holistic expert Dr. Lisa Schuster. Set on the idyllic Vagaru Island in Shaviyani Atoll, this three-day journey from June 14 to 16 invites guests to embrace a lifestyle of mindfulness and wellbeing amid the Maldives’ serene natural beauty.
Dr. Lisa Schuster, a Munich-based medical doctor, acupuncturist, and sound therapy specialist, brings her global expertise to the Indian Ocean for this exclusive event. Known for her innovative sound healing practices and deep-rooted approach to holistic wellness, Dr. Schuster is the founder of the Sound Medicine Institute Germany and the creator of AkashaBowls®. Her internationally celebrated Sound Bath Meditations have helped countless individuals release emotional stress and reconnect with their inner harmony through crystal singing bowls and high-vibrational sound instruments.
Over the course of the wellness retreat, guests will experience a thoughtfully designed program beginning each morning with gentle sound therapy and guided breathwork, accompanied by healthful elixirs and refreshing wellness treats. As the sun sets, tranquil sound bathing sessions will take place at Pool 18, providing a soothing atmosphere for introspection and stillness. For those seeking more active engagement, the resort also offers complimentary group fitness activities such as Mat Pilates, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and guided runs along the island’s scenic paths.
“The peaceful surroundings and untouched nature of JW Marriott Maldives offer the ideal setting for inner healing and reconnection,” says Dr. Schuster. “True wellbeing is found in presence, and here, guests are supported in returning to themselves.”
General Manager Mohit Dembla expressed the resort’s commitment to holistic living: “At JW Marriott Maldives, wellbeing is more than a service, it’s a way of life. Our collaboration with Dr. Lisa Schuster reflects our dedication to creating transformative experiences that blend nature, mindfulness, and purposeful living.”
The resort’s Global Wellness Day celebration aligns with JW Marriott’s philosophy Be Mindful & Present, offering guests a soulful escape to nourish both body and mind. Complementing the special wellness retreat, the property’s Stay in the Moment package invites guests to further enhance their stay. This thoughtfully curated experience includes daily breakfast and a three-course dinner at Aailaa, a signature 80-minute Aromatherapy Treatment at Spa by JW, private yoga sessions, personalized wellness consultations, and the distinctive JW Garden to Glass cocktail ritual. A minimum four-night stay is required to access this package.
With 60 luxurious beach and overwater villas, each featuring private pools and sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa promises not only secluded comfort but also a chance to realign with nature and self.
