On the Road: Maldives
By Darren and Caitlin Humphreys
As soon as our seaplane landed gently on the crystalline water, we felt the warmth and luxury of the Maldives wash over us. The water and the sky blended seamlessly and the palette of colors that surrounded us ignited a sense of calm.
Within the Maldives, there are 1,992 islands, each catering to a specific niche. With our personal interest in health, we were keen to visit one that was dedicated entirely to wellness. To date, nothing we have experienced is comparable. Discover state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge diagnostic technology that creates a personalized assessment focused on skin, hair, and energy.
Opportunities consist of the familiar such as pilates, yoga, and cycling, and then some less familiar treatments including sound walks through nature, cryotherapy, aroma therapy, water therapy (simulating the womb), and cleansing hammam.
One of our favorite properties focused on four pillars: microbiome, mind, skin, and energy. Their progressive approach to health is complemented by nutrition discussions which spotlight specialists and visiting practitioners.
Freshly caught seafood is the constant ingredient that is woven into a wide range of cuisines. We dined on spectacular sushi, Thai, beachside BBQ, and crab from the local shacks. We also shopped at chic boutiques, stopped for watermelon mint ice cream, and simply walked along white sand beaches while watching giant rays swim past.
This location is a playground above the waves on private boats or fishing charters, on the waves thanks to jet skis and translucent paddleboards, and below the waves via snorkel and Suba. The archipelago's protected marine environment allows countless fish and coral to thrive and welcomes elusive whale sharks, green turtles, and dolphins.
Few Americans visit these atolls, yet they pair well with many nearby destinations. It was the perfect place for us to unwind and end our travels, after the bustle of India. We can assist in finding the best combination for our clients from families to honeymoons and everything in between. We not only know which property to stay at, but we also know which villa, and which pier will suit you best.
See for yourself what makes this remote jewel in the Indian Ocean encapsulate barefoot luxury ... and wellness experiences that you can't find anywhere else!
