JOALI BEING introduces “A Gentle Renewal” Easter experience

JOALI BEING, recognised as the first wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives, has announced its 2025 Easter theme, ‘A Gentle Renewal.’ Drawing inspiration from the Lesser Grass Blue Butterfly, commonly found in the Maldives, this year’s theme symbolises joy and harmony within nature, embodying the butterfly’s subtle beauty and transformative essence. From April 11 to 21, 2025, guests of all ages will have the opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery, togetherness, and joyful transformation amidst the island’s lush landscapes and tranquil shores.

Set against a backdrop of crystal-clear lagoons, pristine beaches, and swaying coconut palms, visitors at JOALI BEING will partake in an enriching calendar of Easter festivities, all designed to evoke the ‘Joy of Weightlessness’—a core philosophy of the island. Guided by a team of wellbeing experts and rooted in the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING—Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy—the immersive daily Easter programming will include:

• Wellbeing Activities : Daily activities throughout the Easter celebration will feature aerial yoga, guided meditations, sound bathing, guided nature walks, Aufguss sauna sessions, a Nature’s Glow hydrating face gel-making workshop at the Herbology Centre, a traditional cacao ceremony, fitness classes, and more.
