Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru highlights holistic wellness with Panchakarma at AyurMa
With growing interest in meaningful wellness escapes, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is drawing attention for its integrated approach to holistic health, guided by AyurMa — a centre where ancient wisdom and contemporary wellbeing practices come together.
Located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, AyurMa has evolved into a space where guests feel deeply supported throughout their healing journeys. The centre brings together more than 30 specialists, including Ayurvedic physicians and Yoga Doctors from leading institutions in India. Their combined expertise forms the foundation of personalised pathways built around four core pillars: Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, Wellness, and Planetary Wellbeing.
Among AyurMa’s programmes, Panchakarma stands out as one of its most significant offerings. Widely regarded as Ayurveda’s signature therapeutic cleanse, the 14- to 21-day programme is designed to eliminate deep-rooted toxins, balance the doshas, and gently reshape daily habits. Each guest is paired with a dedicated Ayurvedic doctor from the outset, ensuring continuity and a strong sense of support from consultation through to completion.
The daily Panchakarma rhythm includes internal oleation, tailored cleansing therapies, Panchakarma-specific yoga sessions, Ayurvedic cooking classes, wisdom discussions, and simple, nourishing meals intended to aid digestion and healing. Evenings conclude with Earth Blessing, a gratitude ritual that brings together guests and island residents, offering a moment of collective stillness.
While structured, the programme is characterised by an atmosphere of calm and gentleness, with many participants describing it as the first time they felt able to fully exhale. The commitment to wellbeing extends well beyond the stay itself; guests continue to receive online consultations with their assigned doctor, helping them maintain balance long after leaving the island.
As interest grows in wellness travel and long-term lifestyle resets, AyurMa’s Panchakarma programme provides an experience that goes beyond surface-level retreat concepts. The resort has indicated its willingness to share further insights from its practitioners, along with personal stories from guests, for those preparing wellness features or forecasts for 2026.
