Sun Siyam Iru Veli Hosts ‘Wellness in Motion Week’ – A Journey into Mindfulness
Sun Siyam Iru Veli welcomed guests, local wellness leaders, and global experts for its first-ever “Wellness in Motion Week”, a curated celebration of movement, mindfulness, and holistic reconnection in the heart of the Maldives. The week-long programme brought together over 150 participants for a series of transformative events designed to inspire deeper wellbeing, in harmony with nature.
To mark Global Wellness Day, on the island hosted the inaugural Maldives Wellness Run in collaboration with iRunners Maldives on June 14th . Set against the natural beauty of the shoreline, the 4-kilometre beach run saw over 85 guests and team members taking part in an energising course around the island. Embracing the theme #ReconnectMagenta, runners were encouraged to connect with themselves, their community, and the surrounding landscape—through movement, breath, and intention.
At the heart of the week were intimate Mind & Body sessions led by two international wellness figures:
Marina Violinha, a holistic women’s health and fitness expert, hosted a sunset yoga session and interactive talk at Magoodhoo Beach, inviting guests to explore feminine strength and emotional alignment.
Shane Seery, an award-winning executive health coach, brought a fresh perspective with his functional movement coaching on the resort’s tennis courts, blending personalised guidance with outdoor flow.
On June 20th, 88 team members participated in a sunrise yoga gathering led by the resort’s spa team, aligning with this year’s global theme: “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.” This collective practice underscored the resort’s deeper commitment to nurturing wellbeing as a shared value, across both guests and staff.
On International Yoga Day (June 21st), the week culminated in a breathtaking sunrise yoga and wellness ceremony at Turtle Beach—welcoming the day in stillness and unity, facing the Indian Ocean.
With the Wellness in Motion Week, Sun Siyam Iru Veli reaffirms its dedication to fostering meaningful, restorative experiences—where nature, culture, and conscious living intersect. From sunrise sessions and barefoot beach runs to expert-led coaching and spa rituals, the resort’s evolving wellness offering continues to set a new standard for island rejuvenation.
