Discover October’s holistic retreat at Amilla Maldives

Amilla Maldives, a secluded resort nestled in the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll, has built its reputation on a seamless blend of natural luxury and comprehensive wellness. In October 2026 the property is turning its Javvu Spa into a rotating stage for visiting practitioners, inviting guests to dive into a month-long series of treatments that merge Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, breathwork and island-sourced herbal remedies. The initiative is marketed as a “visiting-practitioner wellness season,” and it aligns with the resort’s broader commitment to personalised, restorative experiences set against turquoise waters and a lush tropical garden.

Two distinguished clinicians headline the schedule. Singapore-based Dr Lim Xiang Jun, founder of The Modern Traditional Doctor, occupies the spa from 1 to 9 October, while Nepal-born Dr Tridendra Shakya arrives for a second half of the month, running from 13 to 31 October (the resort’s live calendar currently lists 10 – 30 October, so prospective guests should verify exact dates). Both experts bring a blend of Eastern and Western knowledge, offering one-to-one consultations, group sessions and a menu of optional therapies that can be added to a standard island stay.

During his ten-day residency, Dr Lim provides a complimentary 15-minute Holistic Health Discovery – a brief, personalised assessment that surfaces each guest’s vitality goals and points toward suitable interventions. For those who wish to extend the conversation, Integrative Holistic Health Coaching sessions start at 30 minutes and draw on a tapestry of modalities, including BaZi astrology, elemental analysis, yoga, meditation, Ayurveda and conventional Western diagnostics. Prices begin at USD 188 (≈ GBP 143) per 30-minute block.

The treatment menu reflects a balance of ancient techniques and contemporary bodywork. Guests may select from Tuina acupressure massage a deep-tissue practice rooted in TCM; Chi Nei Tsang abdominal bodywork that uses gentle,
