Sun Siyam Iru Veli hosted its inaugural “Wellness in Motion Week” from June 14th to 21st, 2025, welcoming more than 150 guests, local wellness advocates, and international experts for a week dedicated to mindfulness, movement, and holistic rejuvenation in the Maldives. The curated programme featured a series of transformative sessions that emphasized wellbeing in harmony with the island’s natural surroundings.
To commemorate Global Wellness Day on June 14th, the resort partnered with iRunners Maldives to organise the first-ever Maldives Wellness Run. The 4-kilometre beach course, set against the island’s scenic shoreline, drew participation from over 85 guests and resort staff. Themed #ReconnectMagenta, the run encouraged participants to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the environment through purposeful movement and breath.
Central to the week-long celebration were personalized Mind & Body sessions led by two global wellness professionals. Holistic women’s health and fitness expert Marina Violinha conducted a sunset yoga practice and hosted a talk at Magoodhoo Beach, focusing on feminine strength and emotional awareness. Meanwhile, Shane Seery, an award-winning executive health coach, offered functional movement coaching on the tennis courts, providing tailored advice blended with dynamic outdoor flow.
On June 20th, the resort’s spa team led a sunrise yoga session attended by 88 team members, aligning with the global theme “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.” This group practice highlighted the resort’s broader commitment to nurturing wellness not only among guests but within its own team.
The week concluded on June 21st with a serene sunrise yoga and wellness ceremony at Turtle Beach in celebration of International Yoga Day. Facing the Indian Ocean, guests welcomed the new day in silence and unity, underscoring the week’s overarching message of balance and inner peace.
Through the launch of Wellness in Motion Week, Sun Siyam Iru Veli reaffirmed its focus on crafting enriching, restorative experiences where culture, nature, and mindful living intersect. With offerings that include sunrise yoga, barefoot runs, expert-led workshops, and evolving spa rituals, the resort continues to redefine wellness in a tropical setting.
