The Maldives is a collection of islands in the Indian Ocean. Ample sunshine throughout the year, white sandy beaches, blue waters and great marine life are some of the reasons why it is popular amongst travellers from all around the world.
Though the country was regarded to be a honeymooner’s paradise due to secluded beaches, picture-perfect shorelines and beautiful scenery, of late the islands are also becoming popular with families for relaxing holidays, particularly during the school vacations. What is more, it is becoming increasingly popular amongst the holidaymakers who want to get away from the busy hustle and bustle of city life and completely unwind in one of the secluded islands. There are many things to do while one spends time here doing nothing and a popular attraction amongst the diverse activities is reflexology.
Almost all the islets in this country are scattered with resorts, which provide numerous types of spas and ayurveda treatments. Reflexology is a natural healing technique, which applies pressure to some of the key pressure points in the body to create a calming and a soothing effect and even to heal some pains and aches. What is interesting is that according to eastern medicine it is believed that there are pressure points on the feet, which correspond to various vital organs in the body and massaging these pressure points can be a highly effective way to heal some maladies in other parts of the body.
The good news for holiday makers is that even though one does not have any illness which requires medicine, a healing massage can have a great impact on one’s well being and also for relaxing. So what better way to unwind and take in the simple pleasures of life rather than having a reflexology massage all inclusive of great eastern aromatic oils and steams and indulge in all the pampering that goes hand-in-hand with a perfect holiday?
Amongst the numerous Wellness Retreat options and health and wellness retreats that are available for vacationers to choose from, the COMO Shambhala is undoubtedly one of the finest places to go to enjoy a great reflexology experience.
