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 as family secrets 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.
Maldivian virgin coconut oil produced using age-old extraction techniques which
is known among islanders for its hydrating and healthful elements is now used in
some resort spas, as is the local favourite gandhakolhi leaf which is blended to
treat almost any minor ache, and the traditional Maldivian sand massage used by
islanders to cure muscle and joint pains.
