Diving into the many facets of this luxe wellness concept, we get in a conversation with Mahesh Natarajan - CEO, Ananda In The Himalayas, and Andre Miethig - GM, The Nautilus Maldives.

Starting off, how did this wellness collaboration come about?

M: It was really a meeting of two alike minds. As we got along, we discovered we share similar brand values, customer propositions, and passion for creating experiences which are so uniquely bespoke and customized in our own fields. Both of us wanted to create something transformative for our guests and that's how we are where we are now!

A: Hailing from a family business established by I.U. Maniku, one of the very first entrepreneurs in Maldives, The Nautilus Maldives has history and family behind it, much like Ananda. And as Mahesh says, we both believe in curating bespoke experiences where we focus on each guest for a highly personalized and holistic experience that begins even before they've arrived with us.

The retreat emphasized yoga, meditation, and essentially mindfulness and holistic well-being. What was the response like from the guests?
