The Maldives has always been a land of cultural melting pots, and its history was marked by many travellers and seafarers bringing their traditions and knowledge to the Maldivian shores, to create the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the archipelago.

Today continuing on this tradition, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort, recently awarded “Best Hotel in the Maldives” at the DestinAsian Readers’ Choice Awards, is welcoming experts from around the world, through their wellness visiting practitioners programme.

Indah Megayani, Director of Spa said “Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. Our programme aims to provide our guests with an opportunity to discover new ways of wellness for an enriched life. A rare opportunity to benefit from private sessions with dynamic and diverse wellness practitioners.”

The InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is an exclusive private island, providing the perfect escape to reconnect with nature, yourself and those who matter most.

Chinese Medicine

For three months, guests will be able to experience the traditional healing therapies of Dr. Jing Zang Zhao, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medecine. With a passion for medicine and health, Chinese-born Jing Yang holds a Bachelor Degree of Health Science and Acupuncture, healing patients around the world.

She is experienced in aiding a variety of conditions, including fatigue and insomnia, digestive and gynaecological issues, as well as stress relief and wellbeing.

As she follows the five key theories of Chinese medicine, her healing approach is holistic, evolving around all aspects of a patient’s health, symptoms and medical history. From the first consultation, guests can expect a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
