TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE RETREAT AT AMAN SVETI STEFAN

By: Christian Stan

In a country famed for its beauty, the most iconic images associated with Montenegro are of the tiny islet named Sveti Stefan. Attached to the coast by a narrow isthmus, the island lies across the bay from Villa Miločer and the resort’s stand-alone Aman Spa, and together these historic sites comprise Aman Sveti Stefan.

Francesc Miralles, the well-known Chinese medicine expert, practitioner and physiotherapist, will host three and seven night programmes at Easter, incorporating the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine to cleanse and to achieve rebalance in the body.

 

The retreats will run between the 1 and 15 April 2015 and will take place at Villa Milocer, a stately stone beachside villa situated on the grounds of the hotel. The retreats will include three daily meals based on a wellness cuisine, daily sessions of Tai Chi or yoga and meditation, a one hour consultation and acupuncture session on arrival and departure, 60-minute spa treatments, prescription Chinese herbal medicine and wellness lectures.

Once a fortified village dating back to the 15th century, the island of Sveti Stefan is a uniquely atmospheric setting of cobbled lanes, quaint courtyards and remarkable sea views. The stately stone manse known as Villa Miločer – once the summer residence of Queen Marija Karađorđević – lies on a 32-hectare seaside estate graced with more than 800 olive trees and embraced on three sides by ancient cedar and pine forests.
