The Tamesis
What should you try?
If you want to really delve into naturopathy, there are multi-day programs centered around sleep enhancement, liver detoxification and joint care, combined with personalized eating plans, yoga therapy, physical therapy and meditation. But for those who just want to test the waters, I highly recommend the Magnetic Meridian Sculpture. The experience combines TCM and naturopathy, with silicone cups, gua sha and tuning forks, while the TCM abdominal massage “Qi Nei Zang” helps relieve bloating and relieve constipation. The frequencies and vibrations emitted by the metal forks not only relieve pain and tension, but also act on the vagus nerve, a key component of the parasympathetic nervous system that regulates rest and digestion.
However, if you are interested in the Aion A concept, choose the Emma Kunz Harmoniser. This full-body treatment includes a wrap made with finely ground limestone to stimulate circulation and restore internal balance, combined with acupressure massage using Kunz essential oils, and an Aion A facial with scalp massage. After two hours of treatment, I noticed a little more pep in my step. Now not sure if it was because of Aion A or because I was in the picturesque Maldives, but either way I cannot ignore the huge improvement in my mood and mental state.

How environmentally friendly is it?
In addition to being single-use plastic-free throughout the resort, the hotel is also involved in ocean conservation efforts, including coral restoration and sea turtle rehabilitation. In addition to its sister property at Landa Giraavaru, the hotel also offers an apprenticeship program for Maldivians interested in the hospitality industry.
What else do you need to know?
Free daily wellness classes include breathing exercises, flight meditation and sound healing. In addition to a spa, you may want to opt for a beach pavilion instead of an overwater villa. The recently renovated beachfront accommodation has a more modern look and boasts airy sunroom-style bathrooms. There’s also ample outdoor space, with a large swimming pool and an idyllic pergola with custom-designed swing chairs, perfect for gazing at the crystal clear waters. If you live on the Sunrise side, that stretch of white sand in your backyard is strictly reserved for you and your immediate neighbors.
