Who We Are
Two friends, one vision: to make the magic of Maldives accessible through affordable, meaningful travel.
We’re Nina and Kasia - brought together by a shared love for nature, movement, and adventure.
Nina is the founder of Rive Gauche Yoga Studio in Copenhagen. Kasia works at the LEGO Group and finds every excuse to be out in the wild with her camera.
Our goal is to help you explore the Maldives, a destination that often feels out of reach, while supporting local communities and protecting the environments we visit. We created this retreat not as a luxury getaway but as a local adventure rooted in connection and curiosity so that we see the real Maldives and experience island life.
We believe in effortless, meaningful travel where you don’t have to plan, prove, or pretend. Just show up, breathe in the salt air, and live the moment fully.
This journey is for those who want to live life wide open, to meet like minded explorers, to feel alive in new places, and to return home with stories that stay with them.
We both fell in love with the underwater world, a place that demands presence and offers perspective. It is a kind of stillness and wonder few ever experience, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
