Detta inkluderar:
- 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: I en anda av att fostra nästa generation av unga fotbollsspelare kommer den tidigare australiensiska fotbollslegenden Tim Cahill, den första australiensaren att göra mål i fotbolls-VM, vara värd för workshops. Hans coachningssessioner kommer att fokusera på att bemästra tekniska övningar, förvandla övningsfärdigheter till roliga och engagerande spel, med huvudfokus på holistisk utveckling. Cahill tror passionerat på att skapa en stödjande miljö där varje ungdom känner sig värderad och uppmuntrad att nå sin fulla potential.
- Dr Hanna Poikonen: Dr Poikonen skapade WiseMotion för att blanda hennes neurovetenskapliga kunskaper med hennes passion för dans och kommer att erbjuda klasser på JOALI BEING, som inkluderar Introduktion till WiseMotion, Wisemotion Masterclass och rörelseklasser i flera generationer.

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.

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.”
