I Tried It: A Seriously Luxurious Abhyanga Massage in the Maldives

I had no idea what I was getting myself into while stripping down to nothing at an outdoor spa at the utterly dreamy Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru Maldives. The resort's spa is recognized as a leader in ayurvedic treatments, so while I knew it'd be a mind-blowing experience, I had no idea just how good it'd be. For those unfamiliar with abhyanga, I'll dive into the process more in a second, but it essentially entails a body and soul nourishing experience via an oil-laden choreographed massage given by two therapists (sounds pretty good, right?).
