The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is proud to announce an extraordinary opportunity for Marriott Bonvoy members to bid on an exclusive wellness and endurance retreat with the reigning IRONMAN World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay. This remarkable experience, curated through Marriott Bonvoy Moments, will take place from December 15 to 18, 2025, offering a unique balance of performance, relaxation, and sustainability in the Maldives’ first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Baa Atoll.
Lucy Charles-Barclay, one of the world’s most celebrated triathletes, is renowned for her powerful swim, relentless endurance, and inspiring victories, including the 2023 IRONMAN World Championship, the 2022 World Triathlon Championship, and the 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 Championship.

Over three days, the winning bidder and their guest will embark on a transformative journey designed to motivate and restore in equal measure. Guests will stay in a luxurious Overwater Villa with Pool, complete with seaplane transfers from Malé and personalised wellness amenities on arrival. The experience begins with a welcome cocktail at the resort’s Sunset Bar, followed by a curated beach dinner hosted by Lucy.
Each day unfolds with a blend of endurance and rejuvenation. Guests will take part in RunWestin sessions, mobility and calming breathwork by the beach, ocean kayaking with Lucy, and a lagoon swimming endurance workshop guided by Lucy and the resort’s AQUA Dive Master. Restorative highlights include a 60-minute couple’s spa treatment at Heavenly Spa by Westin and a nourishing smoothie bar after training sessions. The evenings provide intimate opportunities to share stories and insights with Lucy, fostering personal connection in a serene island setting.

Extending beyond the resort, the retreat incorporates the resort’s commitment to sustainability and meaningful travel. Together with Lucy, participants will visit the Maldivian Mermaids Anhenunfushi Farm on Anhenunfushi Island, engaging in a fun mini-Olympic challenge, an immersive farm tour, and a traditional nourishing island lunch. This cultural exchange celebrates the local community and highlights the Maldives’ dedication to sustainable living.
