Night Spa, Four Seasons

Maldives.net.mv – The Night Spa’s open-air lunar rituals have been recognized as Spa Treatment of the Year at the 10th annual AsiaSpa Awards: a category that invites entries from spas and hotels across the whole Asia region, irrespective of size, location or wellness approach.

“We are incredibly proud of this accolade,” comments Sanju Upadhyay, Spa Manager at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa. “The Night Spa is a unique must-do experience that the team has worked very hard to perfect. Guests sail to our private Island Spa for a lunar-inspired ritual under the Maldivian night sky. It really is quite magical.”

AsiaSpa Awards is fast establishing itself as the region’s benchmark for spa quality and innovation – reputed for transparency and objectivity in recognizing properties that “push the boundaries and advance the industry.”

Pioneering “after dark” treatments, The Island Spa becomes The Night Spa between 10:00 pm and 12:30 am every evening.  Far from a standard in-room treatment, each open-air lunar ritual is a unique experience unto itself.

The Night Spa Treatment Journey

Guests are encouraged to book a “treatment-corresponding” Night Spa meal in the restaurant or their villa prior to be being collected from their villa by a member of The Night Spa team. The uniquely devised menu (billed extra) features healthy dishes designed to restore and revitalize the body in preparation for the ritual, from a pre-appetizer beetroot, apple, watermelon and honey health juice to a grilled fish main and coconut sorbet dessert.

Presented with a flower garland, guests are then escorted from their villa to a private dhoni to sail across the Resort’s lagoon.  On arrival at The Night Spa, they are greeted in the torch-lit lounge with a welcome drink by their therapist, then directed to an open-air pavilion on the Spa’s private, starlit beach.

Devised in conjunction with Sodashi to attune the body with nature’s purest rhythms, each treatment combines the magic and mysteries of the infinite night sky with therapeutic-grade extracts, essences and techniques.  Guests are invited to choose one of four 150-minute rituals – corresponding to the moon’s four phases.  While each ritual can be enjoyed at any time, selecting a treatment in its linked lunar phase enhances its health benefits.

  • REFLECT eliminates toxins, balances emotions and facilitates renewal during the New Moon.
  • NOURISH provides strength and rejuvenation during the Waxing Moon.
  • HARMONISE calms, restores and synchronizes the body’s rhythms during the Full Moon.
  • RELEASE luxuriously cleanses and purifies the body and mind during the Waning Moon.

Each ritual begins and ends with a singing bowl healing energy session. Massage oils are selected to balance guests’ zodiac sign with the massages and scrubs designed according to the current moon’s phase. Extending the immersive experience, ritual-specific drinks and snacks are served after the treatment and a gift awaits guests on arrival back in their room.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa invites guests to reconnect with mind, body, and spirit from November 15-19, 2025, through two inspiring collaborations that celebrate sports and wellness in the heart of paradise. The resort will welcome Jackson Withrow, a celebrated American professional tennis player and winner of 10 ATP doubles titles, and Dawn Sim, a renowned Singapore-based yoga instructor and wellness ambassador, for a series of exclusive guest experiences designed to inspire connection, vitality, and inner balance.

Set amidst the shimmering turquoise waters and lush tropical surroundings of the resort, these curated programs offer guests the extraordinary opportunity to engage with world-class professionals through immersive sessions that blend movement, mindfulness, and Maldivian serenity. From the thrill of perfecting a serve alongside an elite athlete to the calm of a sunrise yoga flow by the ocean’s edge, each experience reflects Sheraton Maldives’ dedication to fostering connection and wellbeing in a truly idyllic setting.

From November 15-16, the spotlight turns to the tennis court, where Jackson Withrow, who achieved a career-high doubles ranking of World No. 16 in 2024, will host a two-day Tennis Experience that brings professional sports to paradise. On November 15, guests can join Jackson for an interactive Doubles Clinic, learning advanced techniques, teamwork strategies, and court fundamentals. The session will conclude with a relaxed autograph signing and Q&A, offering a glimpse into life on the ATP Tour.

The excitement continues on November 16, as Jackson returns to the court for a Tennis Engagement Activation, where guests can watch his personal training session before joining him for friendly on-court challenges, including the opportunity to return his serve or rally alongside a world-class athlete.

Following a weekend of exhilarating sports, guests can look forward to a more tranquil rhythm as the resort shifts its focus toward mindfulness and rejuvenation. Beginning November 18, Dawn Sim will guide guests on a journey of serenity and self-awareness. A certified yoga instructor who has led sessions at Glow Fest 2024 and The Singapore Edition, Dawn brings her holistic approach to wellness to the tranquil shores of Sheraton Maldives.

Her wellness activations will take place in two of the resort’s most picturesque settings — Sunrise Yoga at Kakuni Beach on November 18 and Sunset Gentle Stretch at Anchorage Beach on November 19. Each session will offer guests a soothing, restorative experience that harmonises body and mind, surrounded by the gentle sounds of the ocean and the radiant hues of sunrise and sunset.

“At Sheraton Maldives, we take pride in curating experiences that bring people together through shared passions and authentic connections,” said Greg Allan, General Manager of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa. “From world-class tennis sessions with Jackson Withrow to mindful wellness sessions with Dawn Sim, these collaborations embody our island’s spirit of balance.”

Nestled on a private island in North Malé Atoll, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa continues to redefine meaningful travel through experiences that inspire connection, wellness, and discovery. This November’s activations perfectly capture the resort’s commitment to creating memorable moments that unite guests through sports, wellness, and the island lifestyle — celebrating the true essence of “where the world comes together.”
