The Devarana spa at Dusit Thani Maldives has launched a new wellness programme giving guests the opportunity to learn the secrets behind the spa’s Thai massage and Thai stretching treatments.

The classes are designed to allow guests to discover the healing benefits of the treatments, and to learn the techniques for themselves.

Every Wednesday from 10am -10.45am, guests can learn Thai Massage, often called Thai Yoga Massage, with the spa’s expert therapists in the Devarana Sanctuary.

Considered a part of traditional Thai medicine, Thai massage combines elements of yoga, meditation, acupressure and assisted stretching to relieve physical and emotional tension.

Every Saturday from 10am – 10.45am, guests can also learn traditional Thai Stretching postures typical to the ancient “Rusie Dotton” method, also known as the Hermit’s Body Twist. These exercises are designed to promote flexibility, improve circulation, reduce stress, and boost concentration.

Both classes are complimentary for guests staying at the resort.

Dusit Thani Maldives comprises 94 villas and residences, along with three restaurants, two bars, and Dusit’s signature Devarana Spa.
