Conrad Maldives Rangali Island launches new sound energy healing therapies

Maldives.net.mv – Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is launching three sound energy healing therapies in January 2014 adding to the wide ranging selection of wellness treatments already available at the five-star resort. Priced at US$100 per person or US$150 for two, the therapies were created by the luxury resort’s resident yoga consultant, Areeya, who uses the healing benefits of Tibetan singing bowls to achieve results. Each treatment lasts 60 minutes and is designed to raise energy levels, induce calmness or aid insomnia.
“Conrad Maldives offers a genuine health and wellbeing sanctuary with two spas at the resort alongside many other fitness activities,” said Areeya. “We’re excited to add sound energy healing therapy to our extensive range of wellness options. The therapies work on all levels – spiritual, physical and emotional – for holistic healing.”
Sound energy healing uses the unique vibrations created by the singing bowls to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, wellbeing and better health. Guests wear comfortable loose clothing during the one-hour session while the singing bowls are struck in specific rhythmic patterns to create sound harmonics all around the body, head and chakra points.
About the treatments:
Awakening (60 minutes) – this therapy addresses one of the most common complaints of modern day living: feeling tired all the time. It is the ideal treatment for those who feel lethargic or depressed as it increases energies and uplifts the system.
Balancing (60 minutes) – this treatment is designed to reduce stress levels, leaving the guest feeling relaxed and with a new lease on life. It encourages the body and mind to fully relax and aims to help guests let go of negative thoughts, stress and worries.
Calming (60 minutes) – this treatment is aimed at those who have trouble falling asleep, or suffer from sleeping disorders as it encourages a deeper, more restful sleep and offers relief from headaches and fatigue.

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru’s spa secures top 3 spot in Travel + Leisure Asia’s 2025 Luxury Awards for Maldives

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru has been recognised as the #3 Best Spa in the Maldives in the Travel + Leisure Asia Luxury Awards 2025, reaffirming its place as a refined, award-winning sanctuary that embodies Banyan Tree’s timeless promise – a Sanctuary for the Senses.
Tucked within the picturesque, lush surrounds of North Malé Atoll, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru invites travellers to rediscover the romance of travel and experience the Original Maldives—a place where time slows, nature heals, and presence is restored.
Pioneering the spa movement in the Maldives, Banyan Tree Spa was established in 1995 as the first international luxury resort-based spa in the Maldives. Guided by a vision to offer holistic, intuitive healing in harmony with nature, the spa continues to lead as an icon of tropical wellness and quiet rejuvenation.
At the heart of this distinction is the resort’s reimagined Banyan Tree Spa & Wellbeing (https://www.banyantree.com/maldives/vabbinfaru/spa/banyan-tree-spa-vabbinfaru ) philosophy – a holistic refuge where the rhythms of island life restore the senses, and each ritual is intuitively crafted to align mind, body, and soul. Treatments are delivered by therapists who undergo more than 600 hours of dedicated training at the Banyan Tree Spa & Wellbeing Academy, where the wisdom of ancient Asian healing is honoured and preserved.
Signature Spa Journeys combine locally grown botanicals, intuitive touch, and the soothing cadence of the ocean to awaken stillness and presence. The renowned Banyan Tree Spa Signature experience is at once enchanting and rejuvenating, designed for complete physical, mental, and spiritual renewal – an oasis for those seeking more than rest: a return to self.
Banyan Tree’s wellbeing philosophy embraces the belief that everyone aspires—and deserves – to live well. At its core is a dedication to purposeful, regenerative living, where personal and environmental wellbeing are deeply intertwined. Through healing in harmony with nature – one is gently invited to reconnect with self, others, and the natural world.
“As we celebrate 30 years of barefoot eco-luxury at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru this year, this recognition is a tribute to our passionate therapists and reflects the essence of what we offer – a sacred place for renewal, reconnection, and a return to inner calm.”
— Elias Pertoft, General Manager, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and Dhawa Ihuru
This accolade arrives as the resort deepens its commitment to sustainability, local culture, and community empowerment. The recently launched Banyan Tree Connections programme furthers this mission, offering intuitive, regenerative experiences for those seeking grounding, growth, and greater meaning through intentional travel.
