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.
