The Healing Power of Chinese Medicine

COMO Cocoa Island, Maldives 

Dr Rui Pedro Loureiro will bring more than 20 years of experience as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) specialist to the Maldives as a visiting practitioner at COMO Cocoa Island. From facial rejuvenation and anti-cellulite to acupuncture, Loureiro will cater to the diverse needs of each guest with a series of bespoke treatments. On three, five and seven-day retreats, a combination of acupuncture and epigenetic tests will also be available, whereby guests are given tailored lifestyle and diet recommendations based on genetic data obtained from their hair.

Behind the Lens with Martin Morrell

COMO Castello Del Nero, Italy

Led by world-renowned British photographer Martin Morrell, guests are invited to get behind the lens and learn all the skills needed to succeed at travel photography in the picturesque Tuscan countryside at COMO Castello Del Nero. Guided by Morell's expertise and daily workshops, guests will be taught the end-to-end process of travel photography, from set-up to technical mastery in post-production, while developing their own distinctive style and stories. Guests can further explore the historic cities of Florence and San Gimignano with an expert guide who will show some of the best spots for them to put their new skills, take a stroll or indulge in a COMO Shambhala signature treatment.

Perfect Yoga and Pranayama in Paradise

COMO Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

In May, internationally recognised yoga teachers, the Curry Sisters, will be offering guests a six-night yoga retreat at COMO Parrot Cay. With a focus on self-care and teaching techniques to practice yoga after leaving the retreat, the Curry Sisters' will hold daily classes inspired by the principles of Vinyasa and Hatha, Pranayama breathing and meditation. Each day of the retreat encompasses four and a half hours of yoga and time spent relaxing - whether it be a COMO Shambhala ritual, kayaking, or unwinding in a hammock between swaying palms.
