For those who crave vacationing in the exotic islands of Asia, Maldives is a destination to consider not simply for its exquisite natural attractions but for its amazing hospitality and luxurious accommodation at Maldives spa hotels like the magnificent Kurumba Maldives that provides solace from the modern world and succeeds in draining the stress away from the weary traveler as they step on to the premises.
Whilst exploring natural wonders, both above land and upon the ocean beds, should be a priority to those who retreat to such exotic islands, one must attempt to find harmony with the land, its people and their indigenous beliefs and traditions to truly discover the splendors of Maldives and escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
Maldives is often said to be home to a rich Asian history where legends speak of powerful healers, some sultans and even queens who healed the sick with natural draughts and herbal wraps obtained from the island fauna. The traditional practices that sprung from such tales are revered by the locals for their remarkable healing properties. And so, despite the allure of the bronze beaches, vivid sea life and the undulating mountain ranges, visitors are still drawn to explore the remnants of those ancient healers, now known as hakeems, who are still very prominent figure heads in the Maldivian community.
Of such medical practices, Dhivehi Beys, a traditional technique of herbal healing that is popular in many luxury Maldives spa hotels is said to be the product of influence from the early medical practices of Arab, Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, Persian and Sri Lanka attesting to the fact that the Asian nations were far more attune with nature than their western counterparts.
Many who seek the comfort of a spa treatment in Maldives believe that they were not only healed physically but also spiritually. For those who are used to modern medicine and several hour spa sessions, the natural spa experience available in Maldives is bound to be an eye opening experience.
