JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort introduces a special wellness program featuring visiting practitioner Daria Gudkova, who will be in residence from March 1 to 24, 2026.
The program offers a series of sessions designed to help guests manage stress, improve sleep, and address emotional tension. Set within the tranquil surroundings of the Indian Ocean, the experiences aim to support a balanced sense of well-being throughout a guest’s stay.
Guests can choose from a range of private sessions, including sound meditation with singing bowls, female Taoist practices, tantra meditation, and energy-based techniques that incorporate crystals and Reiki. Singing bowl experiences, including full-body sound massages, use vibration and resonance to help release physical tension, calm the nervous system, and encourage deep relaxation.
Female Taoist practices focus on breathwork, gentle movement, and meditative awareness, with sessions intended to support vitality and emotional balance while helping participants connect with their internal energy. Chakra-balancing therapies, Reiki, crystal healing, and tantra-based meditation are also available as part of the program, alongside personalised yoga sessions tailored to individual physical or emotional needs.
“True wellness comes from the alignment of energy, presence, and intention,” said Gudkova. She added that her work focuses on creating experiences that encourage guests to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore their inner strength.
Gudkova has studied in India and the Himalayas, with training in Sanskrit, yoga therapy, sound healing, and energy-based practices. Her approach combines these disciplines to offer personalised guidance and holistic support for guests.
Commenting on the initiative, Srikanth Devarapalli, General Manager of the resort, said that wellness at the property focuses on creating meaningful and memorable moments for guests. He noted that the residency allows visitors to take part in experiences that promote balance, presence, and relaxation within the setting of the resort’s ocean retreat.
