Join us on an unforgettable TTG Luxury Journey to
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
Experience an Indian Ocean paradise on the pristine shores of the Raa Atoll
This June you could travel to the beautiful InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort with leading trade-only luxury tour operator Lusso on an incredible TTG Luxury Journey, flying with British Airways.
On this wonderful five-day, four-night dream trip from 4-9 June, travel advisors will truly absorb what it means to stay in style at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort, gaining the knowledge needed to inspire your clients to want to go there too.
About the trip
This exclusive trip will take place from 4-9 June 2024. Six travel advisors will stay in stunning villa accommodation as they experience this beautiful island and discover what makes the resort and its enviable setting unique.
After arriving by seaplane the advisors will have plenty of time to explore the island. During the TTG Luxury Journey they'll join the resident yogi for a sunrise yoga session, and don snorkelling gear to head out with a guide to explore the magical underwater world of the house reef. They'll have the opportunity to join an excursion to spot manta rays, before meeting the team from The Manta Trust, as they explain how the resort is helping protect these gentle giants.
The advisors will dive into a world of holistic wellness with a treatment at AVI Spa, and embark on a private cruise onboard the resort's luxury yacht, sipping champagne as they chase the famous Maldivian sunset. Throughout the trip they'll experience the resort's exquisite dining offering, sampling afternoon tea by the pool, drinks at the Sunset Bar and a BBQ on the beach, alongside meals at the waterside Fish Market (pictured above) and The Lighthouse, with a scenic 360-degree view of the Indian Ocean.
Travelling alongside Lusso, agents will get to know this trade-only operator more, and will fly with British Airways, which offers a direct service to Male from London Heathrow.

Lusso
Cheshire-based luxury tour operator Lusso was established almost 15 years ago and has remained totally focused on only working with the trade.

They travel regularly to the destinations and properties within Lusso’s portfolio and this first-hand, up-to-date knowledge means they can truly advise agents – from the best guest rooms to choose, to that exhilarating place to snorkel; or from the ultimate honeymoon location to that suitably challenging golf course.
And of course, Lusso’s close working relationships with all of its supplier partners means that every effort is made to confirm even the smallest of special requests for clients. Learn more at lussotravel.com
