Detox in Style at Baros Maldives
Maldives.net.mv – Detoxing is not just a trend. At Baros Maldives it’s a way of ensuring maximum benefits for mind and body while having fun on holiday. At Baros Maldives, the Spa Manager has devised a detox programme exclusively for the Resort’s guests. This is not a package but an idea for a three day programme of detoxing, relaxing and dining for guests to enjoy during their holiday, thus adding to the experience of a hassle-free stay on Baros.
For the first day, a start at 6am is suggested for a complimentary yoga session in the Resort’s Yoga Pavilion to begin the day in an inspired way. This could be followed with a session in The Spa for a dry body brushing seaweed wrap and a two-hour detox massage. Spend the rest of the day relaxing then finish with a special detox gourmet dinner in the Lighthouse Restaurant. Start the second day with complimentary yoga at 6am before another session at The Spa, this time for a therapy of steam and Ayurveda (Abyanga and Shirodara) oil massage for 105 minutes. That night, the chef will prepare another delicious detox dinner in the beachside Cayenne Grill.
The final day starts with the regular 6am yoga session followed by a visit to The Spa for a two hour session that includes dry body massage, green coffee wrap and lymphatic drainage. A special treat that evening is private dinner on the beach, weather permitting.
The detox menus will be created especially by the Executive Chef of Baros Maldives featuring the guest’s personal choice of ingredients. Special detox lunch menus can also be provided.
At Baros Maldives each guest is welcomed as an individual and special concerns are addressed professionally. Guests keen to follow the Baros Maldives special detox regime in style are invited to contact The Spa manager.
Baros Maldives is a private, locally-owned 75-villa resort island voted as the World’s Most Romantic Resort in 2013 by the World Travel Awards, as one of the World’s Top Hotels in 2014, and the Indian Ocean’s Most Romantic Resort, 2015.

Milaidhoo introduces new spa menu featuring exclusive, innovative treatments
Milaidhoo Maldives has announced the launch of its new Serenity Spa menu, introducing a collection of therapies designed to support physical and mental wellbeing. The refreshed menu encourages guests to relax, reconnect and experience moments of calm on the boutique island.
Set above the turquoise waters of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Serenity Spa offers an elevated setting for rest and renewal. With four overwater treatment suites and an oceanfront yoga pavilion, the spa provides an environment where guests can slow down and unwind. From facials and body treatments to massages, each experience is crafted to guide guests towards a sense of inner peace.
Wellbeing at Milaidhoo follows a holistic philosophy, drawing on natural elements and time-honoured healing traditions. The new therapies reflect this approach, offering intuitive, personalised care that aims to restore balance. Each treatment is designed with the understanding that wellness is individual, and the spa team tailors every session to meet the guest’s specific needs.
A highlight of the new menu is the LYMA Laser, a skin treatment available exclusively at Milaidhoo in the Maldives. Using advanced technology, the LYMA Laser promotes skin regeneration, reduces fine lines and improves overall tone, providing visible results without invasive procedures. Guests can enjoy the treatment while taking in the soothing atmosphere of the island.
The updated spa menu also features treatments using premium products from Natura Bissé, Aromatherapy Associates and Obsidian Skincare for Men, selected for their quality and effectiveness. Locally inspired remedies, informed by island traditions, complement the offering, bringing together authenticity and contemporary wellbeing. Milaidhoo has also partnered with Margaret Dabbs London to introduce its globally recognised nail and grooming services to the resort.
Personalisation remains central to Milaidhoo’s approach to wellbeing. This extends beyond the spa to include nourishing cuisine and opportunities for digital disconnection, encouraging guests to experience the island at an unhurried pace. The aim is to create an atmosphere where relaxation emerges naturally.
Serenity Spa is positioned not only as a place for pampering but as a refuge for reflection and reconnection. It offers guests the chance to engage with the island’s calming environment and rediscover a sense of equilibrium.
Guests wishing to explore the full menu of treatments can download the new Serenity Spa brochure, which outlines the complete range of offerings available at the spa.

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas introduces season of wellness with three practitioners
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is inviting guests to embark on a holistic journey guided by three visiting wellness practitioners, each specialising in distinct approaches to healing. Drawing on traditional knowledge and contemporary practice, the practitioners will offer therapies at the resort’s overwater spa designed to align body, mind, and spirit in a tranquil Maldivian setting. Disciplines include Ayurveda, energy-based therapies, sound healing, and mindful movement, with personalised consultations and bespoke treatments available.
A fifth-generation Ayurvedic physician, Dr Jithurag continues a 300-year family lineage rooted in holistic balance.

Using wellness screening technologies to assess biomarkers, he designs tailored treatment plans. Guests may book a complimentary consultation and choose from signature therapies such as TCM Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, Marma Abhyanga, and Back Restoration Therapy.
Holistic therapist and Ayurvedic healer Sharath Ram brings more than 16 years’ experience in supporting physical, mental, and spiritual balance. His work combines Ayurveda with energy practices and therapeutic yoga to encourage both recovery and transformation. His specialities include Chakra Inner Energy Balancing, Ayurveda Deep Fusion Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Maderotherapy, and Mind-Body Healing. He will also lead complimentary workshops, including The Art of Breathing and Dynamic Meditation, focusing on breathwork and movement to promote calm and clarity.
From Kerala, India, Vinod Narayanan offers over a decade of experience in Ayurveda, yoga, and holistic healing across Europe, Africa, and Asia, including service as a personal physician to dignitaries. At Anantara Kihavah he will provide therapies such as Himalayan Sound Healing Massage, De-Armouring Body Therapy, Abdominal Detox, Access Bars Energy Healing, and Gut-Brain Rewiring. Using vibration, touch, and energy alignment, his sessions aim to release emotional blockages, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural rhythm. Complimentary consultations are available, alongside sound-based journeys that seek to harmonise body and spirit.
Together, the practitioners complement Anantara Kihavah’s wellbeing philosophy, extending from Ayurvedic traditions to sound therapy. Guests are invited to the overwater Anantara Spa for bespoke treatments, meditative workshops, and one-to-one consultations that encourage connection with self and nature.
