The founder of BODYISM and all round fitness legend, James Duigan has brought his BODYISM franchise to the Amilla Fushi hotel in the Maldives. James “Clean and Lean” books are to be found on the kitchen shelf of every woman or man who has given up faddy diets and invested in their health for life. Amilla even boasts one of the few (growing) Clean and Lean Café’s across the world.

At any given time of the year, you will find a resident Bodyism coach on the island who will take you through your paces. Fitness is as important as health and luxury here at Amilla, and they know how to combine all of them seamlessly. Amilla has gone to another level – literally. There are ‘Wellness Tree houses’ in the centre of the island, dedicated solely to physical and spiritual wellbeing and this is where the new wellness retreats by BODYISM are happening. Here you are in a world of your own, figuratively and literally. The tree houses are decorated with beautiful contemporary design and you feel like the king (or Queen) of the jungle up here complete with cantilevered infinity pools looking out across the island.

The programme consists of personal wellness consultation, 50-minute spa treatments, and fitness or wellness classes. Yoga, meditation and mindfulness are also used throughout the wellness menu to revive the mind and promote blissful relaxation. The one-bedroom tree houses have a room dedicated to be a secluded spa. It is a whole fitness and healthy eating experience here in the treetops to ensure that your entire wellbeing is holistically cared for. A daily stocked Mini Bar is filled with a special selection of Clean and Lean snacks including their unique supplements, organic nuts, fresh fruits, Breakfast, lunch and dinner from a specially designed wellness menu. The perfect combination of the outer beauty of the Maldives combined with creating inner beauty through health and wellbeing.
