The beautiful beaches and waters of the Maldives are hardly something that you need to get away from, so the country’s best spas immerse you into its paradise, and make sure you never have to leave it for a second.
 
One & Only Spa
 
Set amongst the white sands, lagoons and coral atolls of the beautiful Maldives coast, the One&Only spa at Reethi Rah offers a private taste of luxury amidst a tropical paradise.  Crystal clear water and lush greenery will great you as you enter the resort, and you will find a retreat from a retreat in one of the many luxurious spa treatments. 
 
In the idyllic surroundings, therapists trained in both ancient healing philosophies and modern-day sciences will start you on your holistic wellness journey.  The spa’s multi award winning treatments are given in picturesque treatment villas, so you can get a massage and deepen your sense of tranquillity without ever having to take your eyes of the rippling waters.  Rejuvenating vitality pools, ice fountains, tropical rain showers, steam rooms, saunas and the exotic cuisine will all soothe your body and mind, and leave you ready to return to the Maldivian sea and sun.
 
Lime Spa
 
Gorgeous blue oceans and white sand beaches are a familiar site in the island nation of the Maldives, but the Lime Spa at the Per Aquum resort offers a unique perspective on the country’s version of paradise.  With the world’s first underwater spa treatment rooms, the spa immerses its guests in the island’s beautiful seas, so they can see the rich colours of the ocean floor and watch vibrant breeds of tropical fish swimming past as they enjoy a rejuvenating massage. 
 
The treatments are carried out with natural ingredients from the cleansing salt waters from the tides right outside the windows.  When guests emerge from the ocean they can sit in the sun and watch the horizon from one of the resorts overwater pavilions.  Steam rooms, saunas, rain showers, ice room, and gym facilities are all available in view of the magnificent surroundings, with staff on hand to take care of your every need.
 
 
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa
 
The treatments at the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa are drawn from years of research into ancient healing wisdom and Ayurveda.  The expert members of staff utilize pure herbs, creams, and aromatherapy oils to provide the Spa's award-winning treatments.  They bring these time-honoured traditional forms of Indian healing to the Maldives, creating a sanctuary for relaxation and wellbeing.  The resort is entirely in harmony with its postcard-like surroundings, and the natural architectural design of the buildings compliments the intense beauty of the spas setting. 
 
The island setting is an oasis of tropical bliss, and the bright sunshine makes the vast lagoon sparkle.  Each spa pavilion is set of the water and has its own private sundeck and relaxation area.  Warm sunbaked paths of wood and stone lead the way to luxury, and your only ever metres away from jumping into the ocean.  The Taj Exotica is a haven of ancient Indian spirituality within the beauty of the Maldives.
 
Away Spa
 
The name of the Away Spa is pretty self-explanatory; whatever you want to get away from the spa has you covered.  Whether you are trying to unwind from the stresses of work, or to clear your head from the bleariness of jet lag, the Away Spa will give you the chance to just focus on yourself as it guides you towards unimagined heights of relaxation.  66 metres of indoor and outdoor treatment areas allow for total privacy in this paradise retreat. 
 
Natural healing therapies are performed in one of the four luxurious treatment villas, and massages and wraps under the Dhow-inspired sunshade.  Take in the clear blues skies and seas under the pavilion; you can enjoy the air by just sitting in contemplation or by joining a yoga class.  There are countless spots where you can enjoy the breath-taking panorama of the horizon, making Away spa perfect setting and destination for anyone looking to renew themselves.
 
Shangri-La's Villingili Rest & Chi Spa
 
Shangri-La’s Villingili Rest & Chi Spa draws its inspiration and takes its name from the Shangri-La legend, which is imagined to have been an idyllic isolated place of permanent happiness, enchantment and wellbeing.  This real secluded sanctuary exists as its own village within the resorts.  Treatment rooms and pavilions are built overlooking the Indian Ocean and visitors can stay in their own private villas and gardens. 
 
A varied selection of Asian massages and Indian Ayurvedic treatments are available at the edge of the water using local organic ingredients.  The spa itself is named for the traditional Chinese philosophy of Chi, the universal force that dictates a person’s well-being and vitality.  The treatments are said to restore and maintain the balance of chi within the body, allowing it to continue to move freely and cleanse your body and soul.  Chi may be a thing of legends, but this spa is good enough to leave you feeling relaxed no matter your beliefs.
