Top Spa Destination in the Maldives

Most of these resorts are clustered in Male Atoll, South Male Atoll, North and South Ari Atolls and to a lesser extent in Raa and Baa Atolls and Lhaviyani Atoll, and the least in Raafu, Vaavu, Meemu and Seenu Atolls. As almost all of these resorts feature spas it can be said that many excellent spas are also found where there is the greatest concentration of resorts.

Spa treatments are huge in the Maldives as relaxing and rejuvenating is the top priority of a Maldivian holiday. As treatments menus are designed for the diverse clientele that seek relaxation in the Maldives, they are a mix of eastern and western treatments. Baros Maldives is a well known Maldives spa resort set in a small coral island in the Indian Ocean.

Manicures, pedicures, facials, body wraps, hydrotherapy, exfoliating treatments, massages to improve circulation and energy and relieve stress, foot reflexology, shiatsu and acupressure, yoga and meditation, exercise regimes among other therapies form a major part of spa treatments practiced in resort spas in the Maldives. However all these treatments are not available in one place and spas do have their signature treatments.

Since relaxation and rejuvenation is paramount many spas go all out to project a soothing ambience. Beautifully furnished treatment rooms, soft lighting, a whiff of a pleasing fragrance and gentle music, outdoor treatment areas, open pavilions, and even underwater locations that allow views of gorgeous scenery have become part of spa therapy.

Spa destinations are generally evaluated according to ambience, treatment, service and value. Although many outstanding and award winning spas in the Maldives are qualified to be top spa destinations, identifying a spa as a top destination is a personal choice.
