The Magical Maldives...
We are back from The Maldives! This retreat was everything and more than we could have imagined.
If there is such a thing as "heaven on earth", then we just came as close to it as humanly possible.
Every retreat provides its own special wonders and the Maldives went full throttle in delivering its unique magic...
HEIGHTENED SENSES
The Maldives is a truly magical place that offers some seriously extravagant natural color therapy; it's like being on nature's MDMA. The daytime textures of blue, white, green, and aquamarine heighten your senses. Then moving into the full-blast starry nights caressed by warm balmy tropical breezes...everything about this place soothes your entire being, twenty four seven.
BACK TO OUR TRUE NATURE
Our resort The Six Senses: Lamuu did not disappoint. They are above and beyond in terms of service and kindness.
Not to mention, they're a five star resort that cares deeply about the environment, putting sustainability, organic farming and integrative wellness first and foremost. There are no motorized vehicles on the island, just bicycles and your own two feet! Well, and a few electrical carts, just in case.
Another standout highlight was: The food. We couldn’t stop eating breakfast lunch and dinner. A favorite was the finest, most elaborate breakfast buffet we’ve ever seen!
They have a 'no shoes' policy (not enforced, but encouraged) that sets a natural tone and rhythm upon arrival. Back to the simple life for a week never hurts.
LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS
Our group bonded and melded into a joyful, lovable, misfit family right away. Our newest and youngest tribe member Harley made her debut; she's the most evolved, brilliant and sophisticated 6 year old I’ve ever met. If she represents the new generation of humans incarnating on this planet, we are in good hands! Needless to say, she quickly became the group favorite.
We also had our 20-somethings Bailey and Maddy infusing the trip with their magnificent flair and zing. They were our human sparklers of creativity.
We're so thankful to everyone who joined us; each trip is made special by the people we get to meet and bond with. Our favorite memories always come from our deepened friendships.
If you didn’t make this one not to worry, we loved this trip so much that we'll be pressing the repeat button on The Maldives on some future date.
A special thanks to Martine the GM of The Six Senses Lamuu who is a true genius and mastermind and her incredible staff for their love and care.
