Bedroom water retreat Pioneering hospitality brand Soneva and international wellness enterprise ORGANIC INDIA have partnered to launch the first-ever SOUL Festival in the Maldives. Taking place from 29th September to 8th October, 2023, the health and wellbeing-focused festival will be held at the award-winning luxury resort Soneva Fushi, located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Over the course of 10 days and two weekends, the intimate festival retreat invites guests from across the world to explore wellness in all its forms, from personal to planetary.

A life-enriching festival with a purpose, SOUL offers guests a verdant space to move, eat, explore and be creative, while celebrating ancient healing traditions and modern innovations that benefit individuals, communities, and the planet. Each weekend, the festival will include a diverse programme of panel discussions with globally acclaimed health and wellness leaders, interspersed with group yoga and meditation classes, healing rituals, live music performances, and barefoot gala celebrations on the sand.

Yoga in a treehouse Weekdays at SOUL will focus on a more immersive well-being journey for guests, with intimate, experiential workshops each day and one-on-one consultations with world-renowned wellness specialists and practitioners. Amazing experiences also offer the chance to reconnect with nature in between sessions: from zip-lining through the rainforest to dine in the treetops, to snorkelling with expert Marine Biologists, to swimming with manta rays or escaping to a private sandbank to watch the sunset.

Couples will be able to explore and indulge in everything that Soneva Fushi has to offer, such as miles of pristine sandy beaches edged by tranquil turquoise waters, private villa accommodation, with staff on hand 24/7 to anticipate every request and dining destinations serving cuisine from across the world.
