A getaway to the Maldives by itself is like a trip to paradise. Crystal clear blue waters, white sand and the sounds of waves clashing the shore is just the beginning.

Now, you can add a personalised programme of spa treatments, fitness and wellness activities and find yourself in heaven.

Six Senses Laamu, one of the archipelago's most luxurious resorts, has launched an integrated wellness programme to help you recharge and forget that the word stress ever even existed.

The team has worked with doctors and wellness professionals including the Emmy award-winning host of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Six Senses

As stress and how it affects us differs from person to person, the first step after you arrive is a personal wellness screening. Don't worry, the screening is pain-free - it's all done with a finger oximeter that clips onto your finger.

Using Electro Interstitial Scan-Galvanic Skin technology, they can measure and interpret resistance to the flow of gentle electric current through interstitial fluid — fluid between the cells — throughout the body.

This technology allows them to build an accurate profile of each person’s heart rate, tissue oxygen uptake and distribution, arterial stiffness and stress parameters. In addition, they also calculate guests’ body composition for a better fitness analysis.

All you have to do is follow the personalised wellness programme that is the curated for you for the length of your stay.

Six Senses

The programme includes advice on sleep health, a variation of high and low intensity exercises, alternative therapies and holistic spa treatments as well as yoga, meditation and mindfulness to balance the nervous system.

Your appetite gets some attention too with nutritional advice on foods to favour or avoid during your stay.

Although, the holiday might not last forever, it doesn’t mean you have to drop your new lifestyle ethic - take a bit of the Maldives home with you.

Rates start from 800 USD per night in a Lagoon Water Villa which sleeps two people (includes breakfast). Six Senses Spas
