October 2025 – As the season turns, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort invites guests to slow down and embrace a state of calm with its newly curated wellness journeys. In honour of International Mental Health Day on October 10, the luxury resort will host an exclusive Tai Chi for Internal Peace class led by harmony practitioner Thana Jindashotinun. Following the session, guests will be offered complimentary one-on-one consultations to further explore their individual wellness paths. Visitors can also extend the experience through the AVI Wellness Journey, an immersive retreat that includes breathwork, meditation, yoga, and spa rituals, designed to reconnect guests with both themselves and the natural beauty of the Maldives.
Nestled on the southern edge of Raa Atoll, bordering a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau provides the perfect sanctuary for renewal. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, it blends five-star Maldivian luxury with exclusive benefits that enhance every stay. Guests may choose from 81 villas and residences, seven dining venues, and a serene adults-only area known as The Retreat. The resort’s AVI Spa, perched over the lagoon, offers signature treatments and wellness therapies dedicated to complete relaxation.
From October through November 30, Thana Jindashotinun will guide guests on a holistic journey toward inner harmony. Having begun practicing Tai Chi at the age of eight to manage asthma, Thana has since turned this art into his life’s work. Drawing from his background in psychology, anatomy, and Oriental medicine, his approach incorporates elements of Qi Gong, Meridian breathwork, yoga, postural assessment, and acupressure to promote mental and physical balance.
Thana’s signature Tai Chi for Internal Peace session will take place at the Lighthouse Beach on October 10 at 18:00 hrs. The class focuses on easing anxiety, improving sleep, and restoring equilibrium through gentle movements and mindful breathing. After the session, guests will have the opportunity to receive a complimentary 15-minute private consultation to discuss their personal wellness goals in depth.
Beyond the Tai Chi experience, Thana will also offer a selection of therapeutic treatments throughout his stay. Guests can release tension with Yin Yang Bodywork, regain balance with the EnerQi Massage, or unwind deeply through breathwork and acupressure sessions aimed at enhancing sleep quality. Those seeking a full-body reset can experience the Energy Detox Treatment, designed to boost circulation and restore the body’s natural rhythm.
Complementing Thana’s sessions, resident wellness mentor Zhazira Kurmangalina and personal trainer Mett will host regular yoga, aerial yoga, meditation, and mat pilates classes. For guests preferring a more dynamic routine, the resort also offers circuit training, high-energy bootcamps, and private fitness sessions surrounded by the island’s tranquil landscape.
Mindfulness activities extend to younger guests as well. Teens can join Peace of Mind meditation or posture yoga classes at the scenic Yoga Pavilion, while younger children may participate in Muay Thai boxing, local crafting, and Boduberu drumming workshops. The AVI Spa even offers a Young Spa ritual designed for teenagers, featuring a gentle facial, massage, and body scrub to promote relaxation and confidence.
Guests looking to fully immerse themselves in wellness can choose the AVI Wellness Journey, a bespoke spa package that begins with a personal consultation to identify their goals. The experience includes private yoga, fitness or meditation sessions, spa treatments, and thermal suite access, ensuring each guest’s journey is entirely personalised. The package also comes with complimentary breakfast and dinner, non-motorised water sports such as stand-up paddling and catamaran sailing, and Club InterContinental privileges including afternoon tea, evening aperitifs, and poolside beverages.
Those staying four nights or more can enjoy 30% savings on seaplane transfers and meal plans, while guests extending their retreat to seven nights receive USD 50 in daily resort credit.
