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

The Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru in the Maldives is known for its Ayurveda program. They have a resident Ayurvedic doctor that guests consult with — some even travel here specifically for this care — and their spa focuses on Ayurveda treatments.

The day before my abhyanga treatment, I actually met with the doctor there for an assessment. I filled out a survey and he did a pulse reading in addition to asking me some questions. He determined that I was a very strong pitta. He commented on my excellent health (to my happiness!) and we worked through my current diet to improve my health even further.
