A star-studded escape: InterContinental Maldives launches a new way to travel with zodiac-themed stays in 2026
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is introducing a
new astrology-inspired offering, inviting guests to experience the magic of
Maamunagau with the rhythms of the zodiac. Thoughtfully designed with each
guest in mind, the programme is curated around the signs of the four elements;
Earth, Water, Fire and Air and aims to align with individual personalities and
values.
The launch of these packages comes at a time when astrology is
experiencing a cultural surge, with travellers seeking guidance, a sense of
community, and self-awareness on a deeper level. By turning to astrology for
personal growth and even a therapeutic tool, modern day travellers wish for
reflective and transformative experiences more than ever before. Bringing
together a clear desire for these experience-driven journeys and some of the
resort’s most indulgent experiences on offer, the new programme caters to those
wishing for a more personal and meaningful connection during travel in 2026.
By
weaving astrology into the guest experience, the Zodiac Stays offer a new way
to experience the Maldives than the traditional ‘fly-and-flop’ destination, to
one that is intuitive, immersive and purposeful, all whilst celebrating the
resort’s idyllic setting and allowing moments of peace, tranquility and
thoughtfulness (and thrill, if they are a Fire sign!).
