Tourism Breaking News
With a rise in people seeking out deeper, more meaningful experiences on vacation, solo travel presents the perfect solution. Travelling solo means individuals can go where they want, when they want, and experience life-enhancing “you-time.” As experts in deep and meaningful moments, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives specializes in putting solo travellers in touch with mesmerizing outer – and inner – landscapes. Travellers might be alone, but they can rest assured they’ll never feel lonely. Here are four reasons why solo travel to the Maldives with Four Seasons is highly recommended:
Invest In Wellbeing
There’s no better reason to solo travel than to immerse in a world of personalized wellbeing. Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giraavaru is home to the pioneering wellness haven AyurMa. In this healing three-acre haven, guests can start their journey with PraMā – a comprehensive evidence-based health screening system – before the onsite team of experts crafts a personalized program shaped by AyurMa’s four pillars of Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, Wellness, and Planetary Wellbeing. Alternatively, private Yoga Therapy courses can be booked to provide tailored yoga prescriptions of asanas for individual health needs. At Four Seasons Resort Kuda Huraa, guests can book into The Island Spa’s sacred Healing Tent for a holistic blend of Reiki, sound healing, guided breathwork, and ice bath therapy. They can also challenge themselves with yoga on a stand-up paddleboard (guaranteed giggles!) or achieve serenity with gravity-defying AntiGravity Yoga. Whatever their wellness aspirations, heartfelt therapists are on hand to help realize them on their terms.
Tick Off Bucket List Dreams
Solo travel provides the freedom to indulge in dreams and goals without worrying about anyone else’s preferences. Guests can snorkel with the world's largest known population of manta rays – and their whale shark companions – in Landaa’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve waters alongside the Manta Trust experts committed to protecting them. They can also learn to kite-surf across a series of daily classes or be marooned on a deserted island for a day for the ultimate solo Crusoe experience (complete with a phone, picnic, snorkel, and more, with a boat nearby if needed). At Kuda Huraa, they can snorkel with huge gatherings of nurse sharks or book a one-to-one dive course with PADI Master Instructor Nazeer, renowned for helping individuals conquer their fears. For those who have dreamed of becoming surfers, Kuda Huraa’s Tropicsurf pros provide personalized instruction and great company.
A Deeper Connection to Nature
Life in the Maldives revolves around making friends – especially with the natural world. Conservation projects are an integral part of both Resorts, offering purposeful travel experiences with a serious feel- good factor. Guests can build a coral frame with a Reefscapers coral biologist and receive photo updates of their coral frame every six months to see the new marine residents making it their home. They can visit Landaa’s herb gardens to meet the United Featheration of chickens, ducks, and quail and explore the Mushroom and Orchid Houses with resident nature-loving guru, Hiep. At both Resorts’ Marine Discovery Centres, visitors can help rehabilitate turtles, taking home a renewed sense of purpose alongside magical memories.
Privacy or Connection – Their Choice
For those seeking deep rest, journaling, and reflection, a retreat to a sumptuous seafront villa at Landaa Giraavaru offers an infinity pool, private tropical garden, and endless sea views. Alternatively, guests can soak up sunset hues and warm lagoon swimming in a secluded water villa at Kuda Huraa, complete with an overwater hammock for daydreaming. For those craving connection, hands-on engagement with marine care initiatives, shared daily rituals, group wellness sessions, and new activities from tennis lessons to local village tours provide endless opportunities.
Guests can embark on the ultimate solo journey at Four Seasons Resorts Maldives, where wellness, adventure, and pure “you-time” await. Bookings can be made by visiting the website, emailing reservations.mal@fourseasons.com, or calling +960 66 00888.
