Maldives Spa and Wellness

The Ultimate Getaway

• Just lying on a deserted beach of a Maldivian island, taking in nothing but the continuous rhythm of the waves, the sea salt in the air and feeling the soft white sand on your bare feet is enough to sooth your senses. Each island with its green vegetation and secluded setting is a natural spa in its own right, designed to soothe, caress, and heal.
  Spas set in the Maldives, thus, are perfected as the ultimate getaway cocoons in the middle of the vast Indian Ocean. Traditional healing methods that have been passed on for generations by the hakeembe (healing experts) have been incorporated into special spa programs in the Maldivian islands.
  The types of treatments vary with each spa but you can get almost any world-class treatment in a Maldivian spa. Every Maldivian resort has a spa; some of them nestled deep within thick vegetation, others sitting in solitude on a wooden jetty built on the lagoon, and some even built underwater.
  In some resort spas they use Maldivian virgin coconut oil produced using age-old extraction techniques known among islanders for its hydrating and healthful elements. Some resort spas also use the local favourite of gandhakolhi leaf which is blended to treat almost any minor ache, in addition to the traditional Maldivian sand massage used by islanders to cure muscle and joint pains.
