JOALI BEING, a nature-immersive wellbeing retreat in the Maldives, recently announced its Joy of Being summer children’s retreat — and it may just entice you to plan your family travel to the Maldives this June–August. During those months, the adults-only retreat welcomes children of all ages to connect with nature, discover science and explore their path to wellbeing.

Each seven-day retreat will reflect one of the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING — Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy — for children. While the kids enjoy the retreat, parents embark on their own journey, with the family coming together at the end of the day for dinner at FLOW, the resort’s open-plan dining space.
“Our guests have shared that they would love to share the JOALI BEING experience with their families and we’re excited to share the magic of our awe-inspiring destination and inspire the next generation of future wellbeing seekers and naturalists,” said Özgür Cengīz, general manager.

- On Snorkeling, A Turtle’s Journey, kids travel to a nearby turtle reef and learn more about JOALI BEING’s support of the Olive Ridley Project, which protects sea turtles.
