The highly anticipated SOUL Festival returns for its third chapter from October 9 to 13, 2025, set against the serene backdrop of Soneva Fushi, the world-renowned luxury island resort in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Maldives. This immersive five-day celebration of wellness, healing wisdom, and human connection promises a deeply transformative experience curated for seekers, changemakers, and global wellness enthusiasts.
At the heart of SOUL Festival 2025 is a powerful line-up of renowned thought leaders and holistic health practitioners from across the globe. Returning to the island are Sanctum founders Luuk Melisse and Gabriel Olszewski, known for their energising sunrise rituals that awaken body and spirit. They’ll be joined by Peigín Crowley, founder of Ground Wellbeing, celebrated for her intuitive healing approach; Tim Gray, Europe’s leading biohacker and longevity expert; Nathalie Schyllert, CEO of Bodyism, with her integrative wellness philosophy; Frida Redknapp, wellness advocate and creative collaborator; and Dr. Timm Golüke, a trailblazer in dermatology and anti-ageing skin health. Acclaimed sound healer and musician Roses Gabor brings her signature immersive healing journeys to the island’s evenings.
Expanding the spectrum of wellness experiences, the festival will also feature Kirsten King of Fluidform Pilates, Adrienne Adhami, a wellness content creator focused on movement-based living, Dong Juan, expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Anika Lefebvre, a transformational breathwork guide. Nils Behrens, a thought leader in preventive health and longevity, rounds out this distinguished list.
Each day of SOUL Festival is thoughtfully curated to offer a journey through physical, mental, and emotional rejuvenation. Mornings start with barefoot movement sessions on the sand and Pilates with ocean views, followed by nutritious island breakfasts. Late mornings and afternoons are devoted to enriching panel discussions on themes like emotional resilience, biohacking, and longevity, complemented by intimate, hands-on workshops and one-on-one therapies such as trauma-informed bodywork, clarity breathwork, and somatic healing. Evenings offer transformative sound journeys and sensory dinners under the stars, culminating in musical performances and reflective rituals.
Nestled in pristine natural beauty, Soneva Fushi offers vast, secluded villas tucked into lush jungle or perched on the sands, each blending indoor comfort with nature’s tranquility. Guests can also indulge in organic, wellness-focused cuisine, healing treatments at Soneva Soul, and immersive adventures across land and sea—creating the perfect environment for inner alignment and rest.
