More and more people are longing to get off the hamster wheel of life. Or at least to spend some time on an island of bliss, far away from bad news and to-do lists. The more turbulent the times, the greater the longing for calm, peace and silence. The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort on the idyllic southern tip of the Raa Atoll is well aware of this. Therefore, the luxurious island offers its guests special new wellness packages under the title "Silent Immersions". They promise a vacation in complete seclusion.

Away from the world

You could say that a resort on the edge of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, in the middle of the Indian Ocean and far away from the mainland offers a vacation from the world anyway. This may well be true, as guests can find their own quiet spots here even without silent immersion. Be it the 81 villas and residences as private hideaways, the beach or the luxurious AVI Spa: tranquillity is a given at the InterContinental Maamunagau Resort. But the innovative wellness packages prove that it can go even deeper.

Summarized under the title Hermit Days Silent Immersion Package, guests experience their desired number of days in complete seclusion. They spend these days with a minimum of interaction with other people. A special questionnaire was developed for this purpose, which guests fill out before their arrival. The questionnaire asks for preferences regarding the minibar, meal times and types of interaction. They specify who the main contact person will be during their stay. And let them know when and how they would like to be contacted by their so called island curator.

Time just for me

Guests arrive by seaplane and make their way to their villa. There they'll find everything they need for a pleasant stay. Their snorkeling equipment is ready, the minibar is stocked and the villa is decorated just as the guest wished in advance. During your stay, you can communicate mainly via the e-Curator. You select an item to signal your participation in the silent program.

Depending on their communication preferences, guests can also decide when they would like to meet their curator. For example, to arrange activities or book spa treatments. Those who want even less interaction can also use a letterbox outside the villa. This is also a good option for those who want a total break from technology. Because anyone who wants to can hand over all their digital devices to the island curator on arrival.

During the Silent Immersion Days, you are on your own. But the Wellness Mentor is there to advise and support you throughout your stay. They can put together an individual yoga and meditation program as well as spa treatments. Think bamboo massages, facial treatments, sound healing and body therapy, for example.
