JOALI ZIJN, the first wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives, has unveiled its theme of ‘Embracing Easter’s Harmony’, inviting guests to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery of renewal, hope and harmony, exuding a feeling of freedom and lightness – true ‘joy of weightlessness’.

Van 28 maart tot 7 april 2024 zal een line-up van wereldwijd gevierde namen, zoals de Duitse schoonheidsspecialiste Dr. Barbara Sturm tot de Australische voormalige voetballegende Tim Cahill, exclusieve ervaringen aanbieden, samen met de kenmerkende activiteiten van JOALI BEING, ontworpen voor meerdere generaties. Dit bevat:
- Dr Barbara Sturm: World-renowned celebrity aesthetic Doctor, Barbara Sturm will host bespoke masterclasses on reverse-ageing methodologies with a variety of treatments offered on the island, along with an enriching session for young adults and children at B’Kidult, the island’s multi-generational playground, to inspire the next generation.
- Hamna ‘Hamty’ Husain & Martina Trepczyk: On 31st March, TIGEREYES will be presented in JOALI BEING; this exclusive screening reflects the brand’s strong devotion to female empowerment. It is an award-winning film directed by Martina Trepczyk, showcasing the world life of Hamna ‘Hamty’ Husain, the first and only female scuba diver on a remote Maldivian island who regularly dives with the world’s most feared and misunderstood animal, the tiger shark.
- Tim Cahill: In de geest van het koesteren van de volgende generatie jonge voetballers zal de voormalige Australische voetballegende Tim Cahill, de eerste Australiër die een doelpunt scoorde op het FIFA Wereldkampioenschap, workshops organiseren. Zijn coachingsessies zullen zich richten op het beheersen van technische oefeningen, waarbij oefenvaardigheden worden omgezet in leuke en boeiende spellen, met een belangrijke focus op holistische ontwikkeling. Cahill gelooft hartstochtelijk in het creëren van een ondersteunende omgeving waarin elke jongere zich gewaardeerd en aangemoedigd voelt om zijn volledige potentieel te bereiken.
- Dr. Hanna Poikonen: Dr. Poikonen heeft WiseMotion opgericht om haar neurowetenschappelijke kennis te combineren met haar passie voor dans en zal lessen aanbieden bij JOALI BEING, waaronder Inleiding tot WiseMotion, Wisemotion Masterclass en bewegingslessen voor meerdere generaties. WiseMotion is een methode die begeleide bewegingsimprovisatie, wetenschappelijke kennis en interactieve discussies combineert ter ondersteuning van de Mind Pillar bij JOALI BEING.
Guests can participate in daily wellbeing activities, including yoga, aerial yoga, gratitude meditation, chakra dancing, breathwork classes, Vinyasa Yoga, paddleboard yoga, sound baths, reflexology, Aufguss sauna rituals, and workshops in JOALI BEING’s herbology centre, AKTAR, such as facial scrub & mask-making as well as learning about therapeutic teas. Or, embark on adventures to the vibrant underwater world on guided snorkelling, jet skiing, semi-submarine tours, paddle boarding, dolphin cruises, fishing, coral planting, and conversations with marine biologists to learn about the island’s sustainability initiatives. Guests can enjoy the island’s padel and tennis courts surrounded by verdant greens, an Easter run, functional training classes, mat pilates, circuit training, as well as speciality classes for kids such as fitness classes, Zumba and Qi Gong. For inspiring culinarians, family culinary workshops, cocktail and mocktail classes and tea celebrations with the Master Tea Sommelier will be highlights. Evenings are for gastronomical journeys in atmospherical settings, from Maldivian-themed dinners and traditional Easter spreads to elegant Caviar and Tea soiree dining.
The newly built multi-generational playground, B’Kidult, will offer activities for all ages that focus on wellbeing, sustainability, and fun. Dedicated to the importance of early-stage learning and wellbeing, together this Easter, families can explore an array of thoughtfully crafted experiences to bolster health, impart new skills and nurture connections such as treasure hunts, Herbarium workshops and craft soap-making.
Commenting on this year’s Easter, General Manager Graeme Freeman says, “We invite guests to partake in a celebration at JOALI BEING that goes beyond your traditional Easter festivities. Our theme of ‘Embracing Easter’s Harmony’ is a celebration of the soul – a moment to rediscover your inner harmony, reconnect with oneself and embrace the transformative power of Easter. Our resident practitioners and visiting experts will craft a one-of-a-kind journey for all our guests.”
