bitetravel Seek Solace in Silence at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort Images courtesy of Grifco PR T his summer, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort unveiled its latest wellness offering, Silent Immer- sion Packages. It’s designed for those seeking solace and tranquillity in the breathtaking beauty of the Raa Atoll, Mal- dives, disconnecting from the outside world and reconnecting with themselves for a more mindful experience. As wellness trends evolve, the resort offers innovative experiences to nurture the mind, body and soul. The wellness packages include Hermit Days and Digital Detox. The first begins at the time of booking, when guests are invited to share their preferences and needs via a pre-arrival questionnaire. Upon arrival, they’ll indulge in their specified days of complete privacy, with limited interaction with others. Guests will disem- bark the seaplane to find their villa equipped with customised amenities, snorkelling equipment, and other necessities such as extra towels or a customised minibar. Digital Detox Days is a complete break from technology, and guests will surrender their digital devices to the Island Curator and commit to time without digital interruption. All resort fa- cilities, including in-villa dining and spa services, are accessi- ble, with communication facilitated through designated meeting points and messaging boxes. All packages include the guidance of a wellness mentor who will support and curate a stay involv- ing yoga and meditation to promote inner peace and wellbeing. On the idyllic southernmost tip of Raa Atoll, on the edge of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and bordering a juvenile manta ray aggregation sport, the resort is ideally situated for in- dulging in a silent retreat. As the first and only all-club InterCon- tinental resort, guests are spoiled with indulgent complimentary benefits alongside luxurious five-star Maldivian facilities such as overseas villas, an adults-only area, including a pool and restau- rant, and a tranquil spa where guests can enjoy guided medita- tion and yoga sessions to support mindfulness and re-centring. With six restaurants and bars, including The Lighthouse, and 81 villas and residences, guests can choose their hideaway with exceptional food and beverage options. At the resort’s AVI Spa luxury retreat, guests can practice yoga, learn meditation, ex- perience sound healing and bodywork therapy and more from wellness experts. They also offer coconut and mango body pol- ishes, warm bamboo massages and a range of signature facials to help. https://maldives.intercontinental.com
