Maldives’ first-ever menopause-focussed wellbeing retreats in June & July
Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences (part of Small Luxury Hotels) has launched the Maldives’ first-ever menopause-focussed wellbeing retreats. The five-day journey aims to support women who find it daunting to navigate changes in their hormones during perimenopause and menopause, and the unpleasant symptoms that come with it – which can include hot flushes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, brain fog, weight gain, and anxiety.
Taking place from 23 June to 7 July 2022, the retreats will be led by renowned naturopath and wellness coach, Claire O’Sullivan. The personalised five-day retreats have been developed to give women the tools they need to adapt to these changes in a healthy and positive way, enabling them to tune into their body’s rhythm and renew their energy. Guests will be taken on a well-being journey that will explore natural ways to boost female hormones while empowering women to manage their symptoms through movement, nutrition, and mindful activities.

Retreat Activities
Activities include yoga, dynamic meditation, and Pranayama breathwork for all levels to minimise symptoms and promote deep sleep; masterclass talks and discussions to demystify perimenopause and menopause; and Sufi Whirling meditation and intuitive dance to achieve mental clarity and to improve overall wellbeing – accompanied by perfectly balanced wellness meals and workshops on eating well to support hormone transitions and weight changes.
The five-day retreats include a one-on-one consultation with Claire O’Sullivan; specifically designed daily wellness activities and group activity sessions; one Foot Reflexology treatment (60 minutes); one Intuitive Aroma Massage (60 minutes); one Craniosacral Therapy; five personalised Sensora Light Therapy sessions; and complimentary access to steam and sauna facilities at the resort’s award-winning Javvu Spa.

Focus On Nutrition
The new retreat programmes are underpinned by Amilla’s innovative Wellness Your Way concept, a fresh, holistic, and highly customised approach to wellness that encompasses nutrition, plant-based remedies, mindfulness, and movement. Understanding the importance of nutrition and addressing the body’s changing needs with nutritious, organic foods, guests can enjoy a ground-breaking selection of dedicated vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb/keto/paleo options available across all dining outlets – not to mention cocktail menus packed with probiotic sodas and a sugar-free section.
Five-night Perimenopause/Menopause Retreats at Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences start from £4,839 per person. For more information visit inspiringtravelcompany.co.uk
