Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is pleased to announce the return of Active Escapes retreats in 2025. The week-long Active Escapes Maldives Festival will be held 27 April – 4 May 2025 at the private island resort. Billed as the biggest Active Escapes event of the year, those who like to combine energetic recreation with holiday zen look no further than Kandooma next year. Prices start from US$2,600++ per person, twin share.
“We are thrilled to be working with Active Escapes again in 2025. The week-long retreat styled festival offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. It’s perfect for people who like to prioritise health and fitness while on holiday, or perhaps turnover a new leaf,” said Sharon Garrett, Director of Marketing, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.
“I think it’s a dream come true for those who value staying in shape. With that said, it is not to be mistaken as a hell boot camp where you feel deprived of all the good stuff. On an Active Escapes retreat, you enjoy delicious cuisine prepared by the resort’s talented chefs and an impressive drinks list. The ethos is to work-out hard by day, and reward yourself at night.” she said.
Active Escapes curates experiences that cater to diverse preferences, from water-based activities like snorkelling and kayaking, to scuba diving and more. Beyond the aqua-centric pursuits, there is time for holistic well-being too. Think yoga sessions against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunrise or sunset; visit the Kandooma Spa by COMO Shambhala in the resort gardens or just taking a moment to breathe and reflect by the beach with the sounds of the waves enveloping you. Active Escapes emphasizes the thrill of leisure pursuits and group fitness activities and the tranquillity and balance that can be attained by embracing nature’s beauty and being in the present at this island paradise.
The Active Escapes Maldives Festival 2025 is all about having fun and attracting people from all around the world. It’s not just for fitness junkies, on the contrary, it’s a welcoming environment where the hope is you will leave a bit fitter than when you arrived in the Maldives, but the ultimate decision is yours. You can participate in everything and go hardcore, or pick and choose. The team ensure there are varying degrees of difficulty in the programme to ensure those seeking to work out super hard feel challenged and those who need to be a little less intense in their workouts feel well catered for.
Active Escapes are particularly popular with solo travellers, who make up half of their bookings globally. The main age group is 20-40 years, however, on occasion, there have been guests in their late 50s.
