Like a scene straight out of your Instagram feed, the overwater Anantara Kihavah Spa at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas plays the part of a picture-perfect paradise of holistic wellness. At the end of a winding wooden walkway lie six thatched-roof, spacious treatment suites jutting out over clear blue waters with nothing but horizon ahead. This is where therapists dole out enticing Ayurvedic treatments and detox therapies, depending on your preference, of course.
In addition to sublime services, the Maldives spa provides a full range of holistic offerings, including nutrition guidance (try the epigenetic hair test to learn about your nutrient levels and health), naturopathy and even medical therapies like Botox and IV infusions. Hair and nail services provide a final flourish, though no visit is complete without lingering a little longer on the lounger overwater relaxation deck.
- Anantara Kihavah Spa’s six overwater treatment rooms are airy and modern with wall-to-wall windows that offer uninterrupted views of the shimmering sea. Warm wood floors and blue patterned textiles add more beachy character to the space.
- Continuing with the holistic theme, Studio Révérence by celebrity podiatrist Bastien Gonzalez will use natural techniques to have your nails looking brand new, without harsh chemicals or processes.
- Looking to dig a little deeper into your wellness journey? Book a session or full retreat with resident nutritionist and naturopath Kelly Manning to uncover what foods are affecting your digestion and immune systems and how to counteract these effects.
- Those craving a more results-driven spa experience should opt for a service from the Bali-based Cocoon Medi Spa, the only one of its kind in the Maldives. Collagen facials, micro-needling, Botox and LED light therapy are all on the menu here.
- The Maldives spa provides a scenic backdrop. Go for a cold plunge on the relaxation deck, indulge in an ocean-facing steam or simply savor lunch from a lounger overlooking the endless sea.
- Indulge in some locally inspired indulgence with the signature Tropical Essence of Kihavah massage. The 180-minute experience features the healing power of coconut in a foot ritual, body scrub, massage and hair mask for a bit of head-to-toe pampering.
- Combat the effects of jet lag with the Subtle Energies Sleep Support Therapy. A guided meditation and marma massage for the face and body invoke Ayurvedic principles to release tension and bring your body back into balance for a restful night’s sleep.
- Facials featuring science-minded 111Skin products utilize natural ingredients like black diamond, rose quartz and hyaluronic acid to provide near-instant results without invasive therapies.
- To reboot your body inside and out, opt for the Detox and Adrenal Boost Journey. The 120-minute ritual uses a blend of potent botanicals like tulasi, wild turmeric and Indian lime to stimulate cell production, energize the lymph nodes and deter adrenal fatigue.
- Rest on a specially designed table for the Herbal Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic treatment that eases stress and insomnia. Your therapist will pour warm fragrant oil on your forehead, directly above the “third eye,” an energy center and your hair.
