The line-up also includes Kirsten King of Fluidform Pilates, whose signature method balances strength and grace; Adrienne Adhami, wellness content creator and advocate for movement-led living; Dong Juan, Traditional Chinese Medicine expert and movement guide; and Anika Lefebvre, transformational breathwork facilitator. Closing the roster is Nils Behrens, a leading voice in longevity and preventive health.
Each day is thoughtfully composed to guide guests through a full spectrum of wellness experiences that nurture both body and mind. Mornings begin with invigorating movement – from barefoot Sanctum sessions on the sand to Pilates overlooking the ocean – creating space for mindfulness and embodied awareness. After a nourishing breakfast, panel discussions explore themes such as longevity, emotional health, recovery and modern wellness innovations. Afternoons offer deeper engagement through hands-on workshops and one-on-one sessions, including trauma-informed bodywork, clarity breathwork and somatic therapy designed to support deep relaxation and inner balance. As the sun sets, the island transforms with immersive sound journeys and social sensory dinners beneath the stars. Each night concludes in celebration, with musical performances and closing rituals that invite reflection and reconnection.
A natural treasure where luxury meets soulful living, Soneva Fushi offers vast, secluded villas nestled within jungle clearings or set directly on the sand, each designed to dissolve the boundaries between indoors and nature. Nourishing, health- led cuisine crafted from organic island ingredients, healing therapies at Soneva Soul and endless opportunities to explore both land and sea create the ideal setting for deep a meaningful reset.
Guests can enjoy the full SOUL Festival experience with a dedicated package that includes luxurious villa accommodation, full board dining, return seaplane transfers, access to the complete programme, a complimentary Soneva Soul treatment and exclusive savings on therapies. Packages start from USD 3,360 per night for two adults, with a 10% reduction available for bookings confirmed before August 31, 2025.
