November 30thMALDIVES

Offering guests a chance to reboot their health and nourish both body and mind after a difficult 18 months, Baros Maldives is proud to have launched a new tailored and holistic detox programme in partnership with renowned Russian nutritionist and author, Ekaterina Maslova. Ekaterina has developed an extensive understanding of the immune system, nutrition and importance of healthy living through publishing five health focused books and has shared her expertise with Baros to create an exclusive wellness plan, specifically focused on resetting the body and jump-starting flagging energy levels. For a holistic approach to healthy living which will leave guests feeling grounded, healthy and energised, fresh food is paired with physical activities and spa treatments – ranging from refreshing body scrubs and massages to yoga and calming meditation classes.

Inspired by her time living in Russia and Thailand, the nutritional plan is filled with healthy dishes that strike a balance between Asian superfoods and Western flavours including ‘Asian spiced steamed fish with ginger and soy bok choy with lemon wedges’ and ‘Green papaya salad with prawns’. Fresh Maldivian fish and vegetables add an authentic Maldivian element to the meal plan – a highlight dish includes ‘Flame grilled yellow fin tuna marinated with herbs, grilled root vegetables, confit garlic, shimeji mushrooms, served with pico de gallo salsa’. A variety of tempting vegan dishes are also included, and the plan can be tailored to individual dietary requirements and preferences.

 

For total flexibility and to fit personal goals, guests can choose from a three, five, or seven-day Baros detox journey. A 30-minute Fresh Ginger and Lime Salt Scrub kicks starts the programme on day one and is followed by a 60-minute Detox Massage, helping the body to feel refreshed and soothed. Guests will begin to feel the calming effects of yoga during a private morning session on day two –followed by a Detox Wrap. The third day features a 30-minute Detox Bath and 60-minute Lymphatic Drainage Massage and includes a detox juice in addition to the meal plan for that day. Those maximising their detox journey can experience a deeply therapeutic meditation class and Abhyanga Treatment on day five and a detoxing massage and facial on day six and seven. Even after the detox is complete, the thoughtfully curated programme aims to teach guests new, healthy habits which can be incorporated into their everyday routines.

HOW: The Detox Programme at Baros Maldives starts from USD 1,255 per person based on a three-day programme and includes spa treatments and a specially curated, bespoke detox menu. This price excludes accommodation. For more information please visit https://www.baros.com/

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

A REGENERATIVE FARM STAY SHAPED BY SEASONS, FRIENDSHIP AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Sweden

Sibbjäns began quietly, the combined dream of Jonas Nordlander and Sanna Rönn, who with close friends and many meaningful couples Pontus and Kina Zeidler share a life between Stockholm and Gotland. Over the past four years, they have steadily transformed this former horse farm into a regenerative stay that feels singular to anywhere else in Scandinavia.

After a soft opening in 2025 for friends and family, the farm stay now enters 2026 as its first full season, opening more intentionally to a like-minded global community drawn to nature, food, and thoughtful design.

 

A PLACE TO REST

 

22 individually designed rooms sit across the Hotel and ‘The Bunkhouse,’ each named after important women in the family and among their friends. Adorned with classic Scandi touches of sheepskin throws, limewashed walls, soft palettes, and contemporary art, the spaces are designed for comfort.

Buildings are framed by wildflowers and constructed using traditional methods, much of the work completed by hand, with local craftsmanship central to the process. Architect Maja Berg has been a key contributor, working alongside Erik Larsson, a Master of Gotlandic Craft Heritage, who built some of the original buildings himself and continues to pass on traditional building knowledge to the next generation.

THE KITCHEN FOLLOWS THE FARM

At the heart of Sibbjäns is a working farm home to hens, Mangalitza pigs, horses, and sheep, with agriculture guiding both the kitchen and the guest experience.

In the gardens, lead gardener and local Karin Winarve brings a quiet hand to what thrives here across meadows, vegetable beds, and fruit-growing plots. Produce is grown on-site and harvested seasonally, forming the backbone of a true farm-to-table approach—one that pauses entirely during the winter months when the land rests.

 

EXPERIENCES & ‘VIKING WELLNESS’

New for the 2026 season, wellbeing at Sibbjäns is restorative rather than prescriptive. Inspired by Nordic traditions and the physicality of outdoor life, the evolving wellness offering includes:

  • A hand-built yoga barn

  • A wood-fired sauna

  • An outdoor gym

  • Recreational spaces

  • The beginnings of what will become one of the world’s most beautiful tennis courts.

The surrounding landscape invites guests to engage with nature on its own terms, from cycling or horse riding across open farmland to kitesurfing along Gotland’s windswept coastline (widely regarded as one of the finest spots in Europe for the sport). This is ‘Viking wellness’ in spirit—elemental, grounding, and quietly transformative.

 

SWEDEN’S ‘SUNSHINE ISLAND’

Gotland is Sweden’s sunniest destination, known for its distinctive light, limestone landscapes, and strong ‘right to roam’ ethos. Open from Easter through to Christmas and closed entirely during the dark winter months, Sibbjäns follows the natural calendar rather than resisting it.

Reaching it is part of the journey:

  • A short flight from Stockholm to the island’s capital of Visby, followed by a drive across the island.

  • A ferry crossing that reinforces the sense of arrival somewhere distinct and deliberately unhurried.

  • For those preferring a more direct approach, arrival by helicopter is also possible.

At its core, Sibbjäns remains a place for friends old and new built slowly, grounded in nature, and designed to endure.
