InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is encouraging guests to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with themselves with the launch of two new silent retreats.
The “Hermit” and “Digital Detox” packages have been designed to provide a unique escape from the demands of modern life, allowing visitors to soak up the peace of this tropical resort.
Situated on the southernmost tip of Raa Atoll, bordering a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau offers an idyllic setting for a mindfulness retreat
Reflecting the growing demand for mindful travel experiences that nurture mind, body and soul, the “Hermit Days Silent Immersion” package begins with a pre-arrival questionnaire to tailor the experience to each guest’s preferences.
Upon arrival, participants can enjoy complete privacy with limited interaction, communicating primarily through an e-Curator.
The package includes customised amenities, snorkelling equipment, and the option to gradually transition back into social interaction.
For those seeking a complete break from technology, the “Digital Detox Days” package allows guests to surrender their devices upon arrival.
Communication is facilitated through designated meeting points and messaging boxes, with all resort facilities remaining accessible.
Both packages include guidance from a wellness mentor who can curate a programme involving yoga and meditation to promote inner peace and wellbeing.
Rates start from US$991 in an Overwater Sunrise Pool villa including breakfast for two.
Elsewhere, the resort’s AVI Spa offers signature treatments and wellness therapies, complemented by a visiting practitioners programme featuring yoga, meditation, sound healing, and bodywork therapy.
As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, guests can also enjoy luxurious five-star Maldivian facilities, including overwater villas, an adults-only area and a spa.
