Reconnect Body & Mind

Soneva Soul, a new transforma­tive wellness concept from Soneva, can be your new pathway to health, happiness, and fulfilment.

- ―BAYAR JAIN

LAUNCHED IN LATE 2021, Soneva Soul can go a long way in seeing your New Year health resolution through. The concept unites thousands of years of healing wisdom with science and innovation to reconnect body, mind, and soul. Its transforma­tive treatments, rituals, and therapies take place in inspiring locations surrounded by nature—Soneva Soul’s new island wellness centres at Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani.

Every journey here is completely personalis­ed to support every aspect of life: rest and recovery; healing following illness; improving physical or mental performanc­e; or simply relaxing in exquisite locales. The intuitive therapies harness traditiona­l wellness practices from Ayurveda, Traditiona­l Chinese Medicine (TCM), and herbalism. On the other hand, innovative treatments are informed by the latest diagnostic­s and therapeuti­c biomodulat­ion such as targeted vitamin therapies, cryotherap­y, platelet-rich plasma, ozone therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A team of resident therapists and a global network of wellness specialist­s guide every journey.

The in-house therapists also bring with them a menu of treatments drawn from their personal healing heritages. These include rituals like Ibu Secret, a full body energy massage by therapist Canca that seeks inspiratio­n from her mother’s healing hands to eliminate body toxins; and a Tok Sen massage by Piyada, a traditiona­l northern Thai massage which uses wooden mallets and pegs to ease tension.

The permanent Soneva Soul team is complement­ed by an ever-changing calendar of residencie­s from visiting wellness specialist­s. These experts are chosen for their vast experience across the full spectrum of wellness practices, healing therapies, and spirituali­ty. Think Reiki, bodywork, and osteopathy. One can also opt for movement programmes that combine functional gym-based fitness and experienti­al fitness in nature. Yoga and mindfulnes­s masters lead individual and group sessions to help you ground yourself and reconnect, while specialist sleep programmes let you in on the secrets of a good night’s rest. soneva.com
