A new wellness initiative for the aquatic realm has been introduced at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands.
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands has unveiled a new water-themed wellness program, named "Blue Prescription", that immerses guests in the healing power of water. This holistic program, inspired by the resort's Deep Blue philosophy, connects ocean rhythms with mental and physical wellness.
The Blue Prescription program offers a unique, personalized experience designed to dissolve stress and restore inner peace. Upon arrival, guests undergo personalized consultations with the resort's Director of Spa and Wellness and Executive Chef to assess individual health needs and design tailored treatments and nutrition plans.
Sleep wellness is a key focus, with the Balance of Stillness workshop held in oceanfront bedrooms. This workshop introduces guests to creating sleep sanctuaries using curated sleep ritual kits and personalized turndown service that includes Chakra tea and sound cards selected from the initial wellness consultation to promote restorative sleep.
Water-based healing activities are also integral to the program. Guests can participate in sunrise floating sound healing sessions, coral regeneration activities, and guided snorkeling tours, all designed to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and connection to the marine environment. Cooking classes focused on local seafood and vegetarian dishes complement personalized nutrition plans.
Mindfulness and mental wellbeing practices, such as Vipassana meditation and Mandala Art, are also integrated into the program. These practices are more fully described in the Luxury Wellbeing Series program by Marriott, which The Ritz-Carlton Maldives is part of.
Guests can reside in the Ocean Pool Villas, which offer clean lines, unobstructed views of nature and the sea, private sun decks, pools, and organic products from the English brand Bamford. The resort also offers guests access to the Fari Yacht Marina.
The Blue Prescription program includes a floating breakfast, daily meditation sessions, a 90-minute Bamford B Balanced treatment, a private coral regeneration experience, snorkeling or diving experiences, Sarga Bodywork treatments, a sunset yacht cruise, a therapeutic landscape artwork, and a blue bracelet made from ghost nets.
