The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is offering Marriott Bonvoy members an exclusive opportunity to bid on a once-in-a-lifetime freediving experience with Christian Redl, a renowned twelve-time world record holder in freediving. This unique event, accessible through Marriott Bonvoy Moments, promises an unforgettable journey in the heart of Baa Atoll, the Maldives’ first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Participants will have the chance to explore the vibrant underwater world of Baa Atoll under the guidance of Christian Redl, who has spent over 30 years mastering the art of freediving in extreme environments. Redl’s impressive achievements include setting twelve world records, the latest being the longest 24-hour underwater cycling, recognized by the German Record Institute (RID).
Scheduled from October 25 to 28, 2024, the experience includes a three-night stay for two in an Overwater Villa with Pool, offering breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The highlight of the package is a private freediving session with Redl, where participants can learn directly from one of the sport’s most celebrated figures. The adventure is further enriched with a dining experience at The Pearl, the resort’s distinguished Japanese restaurant, where guests will dine alongside Redl.
The Westin’s commitment to well-being is woven throughout the package, with offerings such as a 60-minute spa treatment for two at Heavenly Spa by Westin, and the option of sunrise or sunset yoga sessions. Guests can also take advantage of the resort’s runWESTIN program, the 24/7 WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, and the innovative ‘Gear Lending’ program, which allows guests to borrow Hyperice wellness gear to ease muscle tension.
Beyond the luxurious offerings, this collaboration emphasizes ocean conservation, reflecting Redl’s dedication to addressing critical marine issues. As the founder of the non-profit organization 7Oceans, Redl will lead a plastic pollution awareness session on Maalhos Island, a neighboring community known for its rich marine biodiversity. The session will include psychological dive training in collaboration with the Maldives Freediving Association, offering participants a chance to engage with local conservation efforts.
This partnership underscores The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort’s commitment to providing guests with meaningful and enriching experiences while contributing to ocean conservation efforts in the Maldives.
