Global Wellness Day returns on June 14, 2025, as a worldwide reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with oneself and the world around us. In celebration of this meaningful occasion, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa, a serene, multi-generational haven in the heart of the Indian Ocean, invites guests to enrich their stay with a complimentary three-day wellness journey led by internationally acclaimed holistic healer Dr. Lisa Schuster, from June 14 to 16, 2025.

Based in Munich, Dr. Lisa Schuster is a medical doctor, acupuncturist, meditation teacher, and sound & yoga therapist.  Her work integrates a range of holistic modalities with a dedicated focus on sound therapy. She is widely recognized for her unique ability to support individuals in releasing unhealed traumas, enabling deep relaxation and reconnection with their full potential. Through her cutting-edge sound healing techniques—using crystal singing bowls and other high-vibrational instruments—Lisa helps people find alignment, clarity, and live a life they truly love. Her internationally renowned Sound Bath Meditations are described as fluidly powerful and sonically alive. She is also the founder of the Sound Medicine Institute Germany, the creator of AkashaBowls®, and an acclaimed speaker and educator on wellness worldwide.

Set within the island’s lush tropical sanctuary, Lisa will lead a series of restorative sound bathing experiences, each crafted to calm the mind and restore inner balance. Each morning will begin with a gentle sound therapy and a guided breath work, complemented by wellness elixirs and nourishing refreshments. As dusk settles over the horizon, evening sessions at the serene Pool 18 presents a soulful setting for reflection and stillness. Guests seeking more dynamic wellness experiences can also take part in the resort’s range of complimentary group fitness activities, including Mat Pilates, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and guided running sessions.

“True wellbeing begins with presence. When we slow down and truly listen to our inner world, we unlock the body’s innate ability to heal and transform,” says Lisa Schuster. “The natural beauty and serenity of JW Marriott Maldives make it the perfect place for this inward journey.”

Aligned with JW Marriott’s brand ethos, Be Mindful & Present, the resort’s Global Wellness Day celebration offers guests a soulful escape centered around mindfulness, movement, and purposeful living. 

“At our resort, wellbeing is woven into every aspect of the guest experience and embraced as a way of life,” says Mohit Dembla, General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa. “This collaboration with Dr. Lisa Schuster brings together the power of nature, mindfulness, and purposeful self-care to offer guests a truly enriching experience in honor of Global Wellness Day.”

Nestled on the tranquil, natural Vagaru Island in the Shaviyani Atoll, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is a sanctuary of mindful luxury. The resort features 60 elegantly appointed beach and overwater villas, each with a private pool and panoramic ocean views. Exceptional dining, rejuvenating spa rituals, and enriching activities for all ages are elevated by the attentive service of a dedicated Thakuru (butler), ensuring every detail is thoughtfully tailored to each guest’s needs.

For those seeking a wellness-focused escape, the resort invites guests to elevate their stay with Stay in the Moment package, a curated journey of reconnection inspired by nature and the philosophy of mindful living. The experience includes daily breakfast and a three-course dinner at Aailaa, a signature 80-minute Aromatherapy Treatment at Spa by JW, as well as private yoga sessions, wellness consultations, and the signature JW Garden to Glass cocktail ritual. Every element is designed to awaken the senses and nurture a meaningful connection to self and surroundings. The Stay in the Moment package is available with a minimum four-night stay.
