Kuda Villingili partners with The Wave Project to launch a Surf Therapy project this summer.
This summer, the Wave Project will be leading thrilling surf retreats during their residency at the resort.
The surf retreat will be running from 26th July – 26th August 2024.
Kuda Villingili and The Wave Project launch a surf therapy
Kuda Villingili is collaborating with UK -based charity, The Wave Project, to bring surf therapy to the one of the most beautiful blue spaces in the world: the Maldives. The Wave Project strive to transform the lives of young people with many years proving how getting in the sea, surfing and having fun in the water makes a measurable difference to young people’s health and wellbeing.
Whilst the Maldives is celebrated for its crystal-clear waters and bright-white beaches, its potential as a surfing hot-spot is often overlooked. Kuda Villingili is, in fact, one of the best located resorts in the Maldives for surfers. Mere moments away from the famed Chicken’s Break, the long, lively left can hold swells from 3ft to well over 10ft and provide wave rides up to an impressive 500m long.
Kuda Villingili’s Soul Searching at Chickens Retreats will explore how these ‘blue spaces’ can provide such impact on the mental health and wellbeing on young people, focusing on outdoor activities to explore the Maldives renowned beauty and nature. With a focus on mindfulness and breathwork as well as exhilarating excursions from surfing and paddle boarding to yoga and meditation, guests are invited on this journey to experience the wonders for the water and truly immerse themselves in such idyllic blue spaces.
About the effect of Surf Therapy
Surf therapy is an innovative therapeutic approach that combines surfing with structured therapeutic activities to promote physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. This form of therapy leverages the physical benefits of surfing, such as improving balance, coordination, and strength, alongside the mental and emotional benefits derived from being in nature, engaging in physical activity, and the meditative aspects of surfing.
Recognised by the NHS and prescribed by doctors to children in the UK, surf therapy has become an established form of therapeutic support in the UK. Spending time in nature, especially in these ‘blue spaces’, is proven to reduce the production of stress hormones, cortisol, and epinephrine. This, combined with the benefits of physical activity and the satisfaction of learning a new skill, makes surfing an unconventional and exciting new method of treatment.
