Complete with private sun decks, plunge pools and peppered with organic Bamford amenities, the elliptical satellites alone provide the perfect cocoons for relaxation and restorative sleep.
This World Sleep Day ensconced in natural beauty, guests will experience a day of restorative practices to soothe and optimise circadian rhythms. It starts with a deep morning inhale of sunrise yoga from the waterside Mystique Garden followed by a menu of sleep treats including:
Self-Acupressure for Sleep Workshop
The ‘Self-Acupressure for Sleep and Relaxation’ workshop will teach simple, effective techniques to relieve stress, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality through acupressure. Guests will learn how to use their hands to apply pressure to points on the body, easing tension and calming the mind.
Bamford B Silent
A retreat of spa excellence, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is home to one of the Maldives’ most sought-after spa experiences. A halo of serenity has been guiding guest-wellbeing since the resort’s opening in 2021. Not only the first spa in the Maldives to feature blissful British botanical brand Bamford, the destination has hosted worldwide resort-exclusives of many of the wellness brands’ cult treatments. On World Sleep Day guests can enjoy B Silent in the prime setting for results.
This 90-minute treatment is devoted to relaxing and preparing the body for sound, restful sleep.
A de-stressing massage with a botanical elixir of roman chamomile, cannabis sativa and lavender flower oils will boost serotonin or ‘happy hormones’ to restore a healthy sleep cycle. A relaxing foot ritual will engage pressure points, a therapeutic back, neck and shoulder massage with B Silent body oil will soothe, and a final application of B Silent Organic Temple Balm will induce the final moments of calm.
Aerial Cocoon Sound bath
As the sun sets, guests will sink into silk aerial hammocks, supported by a womb-like cocoon inducing a sense of weightlessness floating carelessly through the clouds. Practice flows with a guided meditation through to a soothing and hypnotic sound bath.
Retiring to the unadulterated luxury of the resort villas, a sumptuous turndown treat of Bamford B Silent Pillow Mist awaits in readiness for a night of sumptuous slumber.
