- Pick the right resort
The Maldives is peppered with upscale, luxury resorts which are equipped with beachside wellness centres, overwater spas, and lush gardens. When you are booking make sure to check not just the ambience but the spa menu and what kind of treatments they have on offer. This can be easily checked out as most resorts have featured their spa prominently on their website with beautiful pictures and their spa menu as well.
- Consider the resort’s location
Think about the location of the resort and your preferred ambience. There are plenty of possibilities, whether your dream location is an overwater villa, a private island, or a beautiful tropical setting.
- Pick your spa
Explore the spa's offerings at the resort. Seek out spas with breathtaking views of the ocean or treatment rooms situated over the water for a more engaging experience. If you are interested in a wooden, rustic look – many resorts offer that kind of ambience as well.
- Ensure they have a variety of treatments
Find out whether the spa provides a range of services, such as holistic and traditional Maldivian therapies. Maldives spa resorts the likes of Kurumba Maldives offer traditional and native spa experiences as well, infusing natural herbs, flowers, warm Maldivian coconut oil, and hot sand poultice to give you a relaxed mind and body throughout your stay.
- Booking treatments
Ensure that you make your spa booking well in advance, as usually there is a long wait. The earlier you book, the better, especially in case you have certain inclinations or a special occasion. Also ensure that you speak to your therapist about any health concerns, preferences, or which areas you would like your therapist to focus on during the treatment so that it could all go seamlessly.
- Surround yourself with nature
After your spa treatment is over, take a slow walk and breathe in all of the tranquil surroundings and nature that the Maldives has to offer you. Enjoy the immaculate sea and glistening waters as you walk along the resort’s private beach. Connect with nature and enjoy your time in that moment.
- Pick the correct time
Always make sure you pick the correct time for your treatment; these are usually done during sunset or sunrise and will be especially charming with the added rays of light and effect!
- Consider yoga
Most resorts in the Maldives offer yoga or meditation classes. Once you have picked your resort, check in with them if they could schedule you for a yoga class—that would enhance your mindfulness and well-being, especially after a couple of hours at the spa!
- Eat Healthy
Resorts have multiple restaurants across them, making it easier to pick what you would like to eat. You can request the chef to make you something special that would balance your spa-yoga experience. It is important to practice mindful eating to maintain your overall well-being.
- Relax!
After all, a spa day, in most of our eyes, is for total, unrelenting RELAXATION. So, kick back, relax, and take it all in! This is your chance to disconnect from the world, from all that troubles you, and focus on yourself.
