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.
