Travel trend "Silent Immersions": Vacation in peace and quiet
The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is a pioneer in the field of silent immersions. Here, you can enjoy a hermit-style vacation.
More and more people are longing to get off the hamster wheel of life. Or at least to spend some time on a “Insel der Glückseligen” to spend. Far away from bad news and to-do lists. The more turbulent the times, the greater the longing for Rest, peace and Silence. The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort on the idyllic southern tip of Raa Atoll is well aware of this. The luxurious island therefore offers its guests special new wellness packages entitled “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, inmitten des indischen Ozeans und fernab vom Festland ohnehin Urlaub von der Welt ermöglicht. Das mag auch stimmen, schließlich können sich die Gäste hier auch ganz ohne “Silent Immersion” ihre Ruheplätze suchen. Seien es die 81 Villen und Residenzen als private Hideaways, der Strand oder das luxurious AVI SpaTranquillity is already a given at the InterContinental Maamunagau Resort. But the innovative wellness packages prove that it can go even deeper.
Under the title Hermit Days Silent Immersion Package summarized, guests experience their desired number of days in complete seclusion. They spend this time 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 determine who the Main contact person während des Aufenthalts sein wird. Und geben darüber Bescheid, wann und wie sie von ihrem “Inselkurator” kontaktiert werden möchten.
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.
Je nach Kommunikationspräferenzen können die Gäste auch entscheiden, wann sie ihren “Kurator” treffen möchten. Zum Beispiel, um Aktivitäten zu vereinbaren oder Spa treatments to book. If you want even less interaction, you can also use a letterbox in front of the villa. This is also a good option for those who want a total time out also want from the 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.
