~ The program brings together athletes, coaches and storytellers
across Landaa Giraavaru and Kuda Huraa for a summer of skill-building,
discovery and island adventure
Four Seasons Resorts Maldives introduces an extraordinary new chapter
in family travel: Learn
with Legends. Running from July 20 to August 31, 2026,
this next-generation summer camp brings together families and world-class
mentors in a complimentary program of workshops, coaching sessions and guided
adventures.
At the heart of the experience is a growing line-up of celebrated
figures from sport, adventure and environmental science, each bringing their
expertise, stories and energy to the islands.
The program unfolds across the distinct yet complementary islands of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at
Landaa Giraavaru and Four Seasons Resort Maldives at
Kuda Huraa. Here, expert coaching across football,
surfing, mixed martial arts and conservation blends with immersive island
living, offering a balance of activity, discovery and relaxed evening
gatherings.
Designed to nurture confidence, curiosity and a sense of global
connection, the summer camp creates an environment where learning feels natural
and joyfully unforced; passions are sparked, perspectives broadened, and
memories created to last far beyond the summer.
Where Legends Lead
The first wave of confirmed mentors includes former German captain
Arne Friedrich, former England captain Casey Stoney, England centurion Jill
Scott and championship-winning English midfielder Steve Sidwell, who will lead
football sessions at Landaa Giraavaru. At Kuda Huraa, former elite professional
surfer and world-class coach Ross Williams will be joined by South African
former Championship Tour surfer Travis Logie, bringing technical insight and
ocean energy to the waves.
Across martial arts and movement, Angela Lee Pucci, former six-time
world champion and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, joins at Landaa Giraavaru
alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and coach Bruno Pucci. Leo Vieira,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pioneer and multiple-time world champion, leads sessions at
Kuda Huraa, while Indian Shaolin monk and Kung Fu master Hurssh Verma and
national Kungfu champion Guo Jing bring discipline, philosophy and movement to
both islands.
Award-winning filmmaker and ocean storyteller Craig Foster, best known
for My Octopus Teacher, and world-record explorer Ash Dykes will join both
resorts, sharing rare perspectives on the natural world through storytelling
and field-based exploration. At Landaa Giraavaru, oceanographer Dr Phil
Hosegood will bring added scientific depth through marine research and
ocean-focused discovery.

world’s leading figures in their fields and accessing high-level inspiration
that will resonate well beyond their stay."
