Dusit Thani Maldives launches new spa package
Maldives.net.mv – Dusit Thani Maldives has launched a new programme of affordable spa treatments at its Devarana Spa, famed for its eight iconic treatment pods – six of which enjoy an elevated position amid a grove of coconut palms.
The new ‘Spa Value Package’ options are designed to make the resort’s opulent Devarana Spa even more affordable, with treatments priced under US$100.
There are six options to choose from, each lasting 60 minutes, including four body massages, one body scrub and one facial treatment – each priced at just £64 including taxes.
The options comprise an Aromatic Warm Oil Massage; Aroma Thai Massage; Exotic Maldivian Oil Massage; Asian Blend Massage; the rejuvenating Mudhdhoo Body Glow, which incorporates an exfoliating and nourishing Sugar and Coconut Scrub; and Aromatic Sea Facial, which uses several types of seaweed, plant extracts and oil and is accompanied by a hand massage.

Joachim Schuette, general manager, said: “The Devarana at Dusit Thani Maldives takes spa lovers on a cultural and sensory journey, offering a truly tranquil haven from the rigours of the outside world.
“Thanks to our new Spa Value promotional packages it’s even more affordable and accessible than ever and with such a great range of treatments on offer at just US $98 you may well end up trying them all.”
At the same time the resort, which enjoys an idyllic setting within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on beautiful Mudhdhoo Island, northwest of Male, is bolstering its wellness credentials by investing in new sports and recreational facilities.
New facilities currently under construction include a new 800m Mudhdhoo Fitness Trail leading from the Spa to the Fitness Centre.
The trail features ten activity points such as Sit Up Bench, Push Up Bars, Balance Beam, Parallel Bars, Chin Up Bars and Monkey Bars. Plus, back in February the resort launched the Maldives’ first, and only officially recognised, Free-diving centre.
From the Devarana Spa to its Borderless Beach Dining programme and famous infinity pool, one of the largest in the Maldives at 750sqm, the Dusit Thani Maldives is not short on wow factor.
For an added touch of exclusive luxury consider splurging on a stay in one of the lavish, recently launched 690sqm three-bedroom Beach Residence.
