Maldives.net.mv – What better way to make friends more envious after a Maldivian holiday then by coming back with the perfect sun-kissed tan. Anantara Spa in the Maldives has come up with a full tanning program to make guests look radiant, sexy and attractive while at the same time minimizing any risks associated with getting that perfect golden glow.

Answering the prayers of sun worshippers and spa lovers worldwide, Anantara’s Maldivian resorts of Dhigu, Veli and Naladhu have teamed up with COOLA’s award winning organic sun skincare products, to offer guests a full treatment program that gives the perfect tan to all skin types.

Following a detailed skin analysis to determine the skin type and SPF requirement of each guest, Anantara Spa’s COOLA Sun Care Treatment Programmes maximise time in the sun for a natural, long lasting tan.  Professional preparation and soothing after care treatments are performed by Anantara Spa therapists in luxurious treatment suites, or in the comfort of the guest’s private villa.

Getting ready to worship the sun is an exotic affair with the 60 minute Morning Sun Soother, which prepares skin for a day of lazy sunbathing, snorkelling or water sports with a Coconut & Mint Scrub and Wrap, Pre Sun Care Facial and application of COOLA Sun Protector, as well as a Sun Care COOLA SPF body treatment to moisturise and protect from sun damage and sunburn.

Even sunscreen top ups spoil guests at the shady COOLA Sun Spa Cabana, conveniently located just steps away from the pool and beach of each resort.  Letting an expert do all the work, guests relax as their personally prescribed COOLA SPF Body Spray is reapplied every three hours, lavishing skin with all day moisturisation, nourishment and protection.  For those who prefer to reapply sunscreen themselves, prescribed COOLA sun care products are available for purchase.

Offering the perfect finale to each day in paradise, the 60 minute Sundowner Recovery Remedy treats sun kissed skin from head to toe with a Recovery Body Aloe Sun Soother, Post Recovery Facial Sun Soother and Post Body Recovery Application, made even more pleasurable by a deeply relaxing Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage.

 Sun and spa lovers seeking the ultimate package can surrender to a whole day of sumptuous care, with the COOLA Full Day Sun Care Programme of pre-sun preparation, all day protection and luxurious after sun pampering.

Guests can also relax in the knowledge that COOLA’s high performance products boast a wealth of natural appeals.  Vitamins and age-defying antioxidants are combined with natural phyto-protectors, such as plankton, red algae and red raspberry seed oil, which have innate sun protection qualities to boost SPF value naturally.  Water resistant and reef friendly formulas are ideal for the Maldives’ oceanic playground.  Offering eco-conscious benefits, all products are Paba, Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate free, and are not tested on animals.  COOLA even harnesses the power of the sun, with the majority of products created in a solar powered facility.

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.

Whether arriving in search of stillness or awakening, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru remains an inviting, tranquil haven – a place to reignite the senses, honour ancient traditions, and rediscover what it means to feel whole.
