This September, visitors to the Maldives will be offered a rare opportunity to combine luxury island living with a structured journey into health and mindfulness. SO/ Maldives, an avant-garde private-island fashion resort set in the turquoise waters of Emboodhoo Lagoon, is set to host SCULPT. STRETCH. SHINE. a three-day wellness retreat curated in collaboration with international wellness figure and founder of Top Stretching, Anna Kanyuk.
The programme, designed to balance physical fitness, skincare, and overall wellbeing, will run as an intimate retreat experience, allowing participants to immerse themselves in movement and mindfulness while surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Maldives.
A Curated Three-Day Experience
Guests will begin their mornings on the resort’s ocean-facing yoga deck, with workouts tailored to different fitness levels. Sessions will range from full-body flows and posture-focused core strengthening to invigorating high-intensity cardio workouts. Each day will transition into focused small-group workshops at the Pavilion at Hadaba, covering topics such as Kanyuk’s renowned Facebuilding 101, practical skincare routines, and expert-led discussions on nutrition, motivation, and achieving lifestyle balance.
As evening falls, Lazuli Beach transforms into a serene open-air studio where participants can unwind with stretching, breathwork, and guided reflection while taking in the Maldivian sunset. Unlike conventional detox retreats, this programme emphasizes a balanced approach to re-energizing both mind and body, ensuring participants leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and more centered.
A Resort Designed for Wellness and Style
SO/ Maldives, part of the prestigious Emboodhoo Lagoon cluster, is more than a resort, it is an artistic expression of modern luxury. The resort blends cutting-edge design with natural surroundings, offering villas that are either perched over the crystalline waters or nestled in lush tropical vegetation. Each villa comes with minimalist interiors, private pools, and sweeping views of either the lagoon or the jungle.
Culinary experiences at the resort mirror its lifestyle philosophy. Guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dining at Lazuli Beach Club, or savor authentic Middle Eastern flavors at Hadaba, the property’s signature restaurant. These venues, alongside the resort’s stylish social spaces, provide the perfect backdrop for both relaxation and inspiration throughout the retreat.
Wellness with an Exclusive Touch
The SCULPT. STRETCH. SHINE. retreat has been carefully designed to provide not only physical renewal but also practices that encourage long-term wellness. The programme is intentionally limited in participation, offering each guest a more personalized and immersive experience.
By hosting this collaboration with Anna Kanyuk, SO/ Maldives highlights its commitment to providing guests with opportunities that extend beyond leisure—inviting them to experience a lifestyle where luxury, wellness, and natural beauty converge.
For travelers seeking to recharge in one of the world’s most idyllic destinations, this September retreat offers the ultimate combination of expert-led wellness programming and the unparalleled charm of Maldivian island life.
