Taking place from 23-26 September 2024, the transformational three-night programme will focus on building resilience through a combination of physical challenges and lessons in mental endurance.
Incorporating a holistic approach to mind and body performance led Maria to become a champion, and she brings this unique perspective and skillset to the retreat.
With a combination of meditation, dynamic workouts, spa treatments and an opportunity to join Maria on the tennis court
Maria built a legendary tennis career by honing the relationship between mindset and execution. Incorporating a holistic approach to mind and body performance led her to become a champion, and she brings this unique perspective and skillset to the retreat at Amanzoe.
“Over many years, I learned how to build a phenomenal foundation of strength, resilience, focus and determination. It was vital to success,” says Maria. “I am excited to take Amanzoe’s guests through a truly holistic experience that I’ve developed, reflecting the approach I finetuned over 20 years to achieve elite performance. A strong body and strong mind are something we should all strive for and between Aman’s unparalleled wellness expertise and mine, we’re eager to bring this retreat to life.”
Led by Maria and Amanzoe’s expert wellness team, against the serene backdrop of the Greek countryside, the programme is divided into three parts:
Understanding Mental Resilience
After an introduction from Maria and lunch, the first day starts with a guided meditation, focussed on cultivating inner strength and acceptance.
A group discussion with Maria on her journey to towards mental resilience and approach to challenges follows, before a Hamman treatment or Anatripsis (soft tissue) therapy to cleanse and detoxify the body and mind.
Skills for Building
Resilience Day two begins with a group Pranayama breathwork and sound bath session and afterwards a healthy al-fresco breakfast in Amanzoe’s bostani garden.
In the afternoon enjoy a hiking and outdoor strength workout, designed to develop stamina, and later, a mind and body agility session with Maria on the tennis court.
Resilience in Action
The day commences with group Trataka (candle-gazing meditation) at the Yoga Pavilion, followed by breakfast and a dynamic strength workout focussed on mobility with Amanzoe’s fitness instructors.
Cellgym and contrast therapy follow in the afternoon, recommended to increase mental alertness, promote better sleep, and facilitate recovery from physical and mental fatigue.
The day closes with a tennis clinic from Maria, who will also host a dinner with the group that evening.
On the day of departure, a Pranayama session and sound bath finish out the programme and prepare the mind for the journey ahead.
All meals, in-room snacks and a curated Aman Essentials Wellness Kit (including an Aman Ocean Bottle, Maria’s favourite Aman Skincare products and essential oils) complement the retreat, which also includes ample free time to relax and enjoy Amanzoe’s tranquil setting.
Appointed as Aman’s Global Wellness Ambassador in 2023, Maria has drawn on her decades of experience to build a retreat that leaves participants renewed, inspired and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with grace.
From immigrating to the USA at five years old to pursue her tennis dream, to transitioning from her career as a tennis legend to mother and entrepreneur, Maria’s journey has been marked by overcoming numerous challenges.
In addition to the retreat, and as part of her ambassador role, Maria has curated a half-day Strength & Recovery experience at Aman New York, available year-round.
Places for The Building Resilience Retreat at Amanzoe are limited, however, further retreats across Aman destinations will be announced in due course.
About Aman
Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home. The first, Amanpuri (place of peace), in Phuket, Thailand, introduced the concept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 35 exquisitely serene hotels, resorts and branded residences, ranging from the urban to the remote, in 20 destinations across the globe. Aman has a robust pipeline of future projects with 10 under construction. In recent years, Aman Group has grown to offer its coveted lifestyle beyond the parameters of its havens including Aman Skincare (2018), supplement range Sva (2020), Aman Fine Fragrance (2020), ready-to-wear collection The Essentials by Aman (2021), performance skincare line Aman Essential Skin (2023) and Aman Interiors (2023) offering bespoke designed furniture items inspired by the world of Aman.
With innovation a cornerstone of the brand’s philosophy, in 2020 Aman introduced a new hotel brand, Janu – meaning ‘soul’ in Sanskrit. Janu offers a unique take on hospitality where genuine human interaction, playful expression and social wellness are at the core of the experience. Janu aims to bring balance to the head and heart and rekindle the soul. In March 2024, Janu’s inaugural hotel, Janu Tokyo, opened its doors and several forthcoming Janu hotels are already under construction.
