This summer, Vakkaru Maldives is redefining luxury travel through an immersive wellness program that promises profound personal transformation against the backdrop of pristine tropical landscapes. Throughout August, the resort will host a curated series of expert-led experiences designed to guide guests toward deep personal reconnection and holistic wellbeing.
At the heart of this innovative wellness initiative is a distinguished team of specialists, including Stanford-trained Executive Coach and Psychologist Dr. Jonathan Marshall, who will be in residence from August 6-16. Dr. Marshall brings a unique approach to personal development, drawing on cutting-edge psychological research and transformative coaching methodologies.
Dr. Marshall’s residency will feature a comprehensive wellness program, including three complimentary group sessions that explore critical aspects of personal growth:
• Knowing Your Mind: An deep dive into emotional wellbeing and psychological safety
• Purpose, Passion, and Direction: A guided exploration of personal values and alignment
• Hypnosis: Myth, Magic, or Medicine?: A practical examination of hypnotherapy’s potential
Guests can also opt for personalized private coaching sessions, with rates starting at US$575++ per hour. These intimate consultations offer tailored approaches to personal and relational development, with options for guided hypnosis and introspective work.
The wellness journey extends beyond psychological exploration. Ayurvedic Doctor Dr. Thilini Madushani Kularathna joins the team, offering holistic treatments that reconnect guests with their body’s natural rhythms. Complementing her approach is Daria Gudkova, a therapist specializing in Himalayan healing traditions, who will provide intuitive bodywork experiences until August 24.
