      "A truly excellent and memorable week"

      I have been to many yoga retreats over the years, but this was my first time to the Maldives. I was absolutely delighted with the entire week. Highlights:

      - Warm inviting welcome from Katie and the Kingsway team. All questions answered quickly with patience and kindness.

      - Beautiful and varied yoga instruction, including helpful tips to improve my form

      - Fantastic local island full of beauty and easy to explore thanks to guesthouse bicycle.

      - Very interesting program (visiting sandbank and another island; art class; cooking class; coconut workshop) gave more insight and connection to the local community than I expected

      - Lovely mealtime conversations

      - Really convenient that all logistics were planned and cost was inclusive of transfer, excursions etc. Also, the Kingsway team helped plan a resort visit for my last day when the 1pm boat wasn’t available - another cool experience.

      - Last but absolutely not last, I hugely appreciated Katie’s kind instruction and encouragement as I tried snorkelling for the first time. She was very reassuring and really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable, and I even saw many turtles on our last snorkel. So memorable.

      Final note - this is a local island, not a resort. For me, that was a big part of the charm but be aware it won’t be manicured gardens and buffets. Felt like a glimpse into real Maldivian life.

      "A relaxing and unwinding trip"

      Morning sunrise yoga was always inspiring and was a good way to start everyday. The yoga teachers Jenny and Alex have profound experience.

      Great local breakfast with fresh fruits, greens and tuna. Lunch and dinner were delicious too but with limited variations.

      Seeing loads of fish and turtle while snorkelling, watching sunrise and sunset everyday, being surrounded by the beautiful tranquil sea.

      "Yoga in paradise"

      The retreat was amazing! The island of Thoddoo and it’s beaches are very beautiful.

      Kate and the Kingsway staff went to great lengths to make our stay perfect.

      Our days started and ended with beautiful yoga classes at the beach and inbetween we did a lot of activities.

      One of many highlights to me was a snorkeling trip to a manta site!

      The food was delicious! I hope I can come back!

      "Amazing Experience! "

      Kate and Yamen were amazing! Everything about this experience was just what I needed. The daily sunrise and sunset yoga was breathtakingly beautiful but this was so much more than a yoga retreat. The hosts had beautiful snorkeling and other excursions planned each day and took us to other islands as well to explore. I did things on this trip that I had never done before such as scuba dive and learned to free dive while snorkeling. The snorkeling marine life was so incredible and you see Sea Turtles almost daily as well as Reef Sharks. This retreat was life changing for me and just what my soul needed! Thank you Kate and Yamen for everything!!

      "Magical and soul soothing ❤️"

      This week on Maalhos was hands down one of the best trips I've ever had. Everything was just perfect and thought through. Lovely Kate and Yamin made sure to meet our needs every day and the staff of Thundi Village was super accommodating and friendly. Every day we experienced something new and amazing, e.g. snorkeling with beautiful marine animals, sandbank yoga, making coconut oil with locals etc.

      All in all this was exactly what my soul needed and I am so happy and grateful I got the chance to go to the Maldives, meet so many beautiful people and experience so many cool things, that will forever have a place in my heart ❤️❤️❤️

      "Great local island experience - but not as expected "

      I really liked living in the local island Maalhos and the sea view room in the guesthouse. Just at the front of the beach with a nice terasse. The laidback atmosphere is so soothing and grounding. Kate did her best to accommodate everyone and did a lot of activities with us. Especially I loved the daily snorkeling at the house reef which had a rich life of turtles, octopus, squids, eagle ray and fish in all colors.

      "Care & attention"

      Sunset yoga, care and attention from Kate, her kindness and loving personality. The activities were an unexpected bonus, snorkeling every day. The house reef is magnificent and the visit to see the manta rays was a once in a lifetime experience!

      I liked the atmosphere of the island and I'm very grateful for hospitality of all people I met there. Kate is very responsive and caring person, I enjoyed spending time with her. I enjoyed local food. I couldn't imagine that there are so many things you could do on the island and you are never bored! Thanks to Kate I found out many interesting things about the ocean and maldidvians life. That was definitely one of my best vacations!

      "AWESOME, EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE"

      From the beginning until the end, everything I did was perfect. Weather, location, people, food, activities, etc. Kate was outstanding as a host. She made sure, I saw and experienced the best from the island culture, nature, food, and activities. It was worth every penny. On a scale from1 to 10, I give an easy 10. I am thinking of taking my whole family next year.

      "Little paradise "

      Such a beautiful sun filled island away from the touristy tracks ! Kate is a wonderful host, she took care that I made the most of my short stay and was so supportive and flexible as I had to rebook flights numerous times. Maalhos is a little paradise, yes there are still those places one earth. Sunrise yoga is a must. Highly recommended !

      "Yoga retreat @ Island Spa in Maalhos"

      This is one of a kind yoga and mindfulness retreat! I've been to quite a few yoga retreats, but nothing compares to what Kate and the rest dream-team have set up in Maalhos. The location is pure paradise and the hospitality of local people is beyond words. Kate, our incredible hostess, is a general joy to be around and she puts her whole heart and soul to every single detail - the way she communicates and organizes the activities, all the personalized touches in the rooms we stayed, the involvement in the local community of the island and of course all the attention she gives to make sure everyone is having a truly transformative experience. Diwa, our yoga instructor was absolutely amazing! A gifted, skillful and thoughtful yoga teacher with such calm voice, she gave true inspiration to us all through Kundalini yoga, breathing and meditation techniques. I sincerely cannot say enough great words about this retreat. If you would like to experience authentic Maldives combined with inspiring yoga that will open up your mind and heart, then this is the retreat you should book :-)

      "Had the time of my life with Island Spa Retreats!!"

      It is difficult to put in words how this place and the organizers make you feel. From the very first day on the island I felt so happy and lucky to be there. I went on my own but I didn’t feel alone at all.

      Everything there is amazing: the island, the accommodation, large room with a huge bed and huge en-suite bathroom. Maalhos is a local island where I had the chance to experience the local culture, local home cooked food made with locally sourced ingredients. Also the local snacks in the cafe and the coffee is something that should not be missed.

      The people on the island are friendly and welcoming. Kate, the organizer is a skilled yoga instructor as well as an amazing and beautiful human being. She is the perfect host who not only anticipated my needs but went above and beyond to make sure I’m having the best time.

      Dhaanu and his crew from the Maldivers Diving Centre are some of the coolest and nicest people you can ever meet. Their passion for ocean certainly rubs off and the memory of the fun diving and snorkeling sessions will stay with me for the rest of my life.

      I will certainly be back to this magical place.

      "Island Spa Retreat is Paradise "

      Island Spa Retreat was beautiful in every way from the picturesque location, stunning fish filled reefs with resident turtles to the local Maldivian culture and food. From sunrise to sunset this island just kept on surpassing my expectations and the yoga was blissful and fun at the same time. Leteefah and her beautiful New Jersey girls are now friends for life and Kate was definitely the hostess with the mostest - a huge heart and beautiful soul. The dive staff were so much fun and the team at Madi Finolhu were all divine. I came away revitalised and relaxed and full of love and happiness.Cant wait until next time.

      "GOOD VIBES GALORE!"

      The retreat was an incredible time filled with the perfect combination of serenity and laughter. The environment was beautiful --truly a paradise! It was cool getting to see the local people and experience the simple life. We went on boat rides to explore neighboring islands as well as snorkel sites around the area. The accommodations were lovely (especially the private outdoor shower!) and the food was delicious (each meal began with a different type of fruit juice!). The yoga and meditation were rejuvenating and restoring. Kate was the perfect host; she made certain we were happy and had everything we needed. She even made sure I could get some scuba diving in. The guys at Maldivers were awesome as well. They took care of me and were able to help me squeeze in 5 dives in 3 days! I would recommend Island Spa Retreats to anyone and everyone.

      "My yoga retreat in Maalhos"

      Kate was a fantastic yoga instructor and host. She made me feel welcome and made sure I knew exactly where I needed to be and when. The sunrise/sunset yoga sessions were great and I loved that I felt myself improve as the week went on.

      The snorkelling was also great and we saw lots of turtles, as well as many beautiful fish and eels.

      The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable.

      They took many photos and videos which they then sent me so I have them as my memories.

      The guesthouse was kept very clean and the food was great - I loved the Maldivian food.

      I really enjoyed the tour around the island and seeing the local culture, including the local women making the roof, the traditional houses, and seeing how the families were fishing for tuna from the beach.
