Kudadoo Maldives partners with Healing Earth to create bespoke lifestyle amenities
Kudadoo Maldives Private Island by Hurawalhi has partnered with Healing Earth to create two bespoke collections of lifestyle amenities.
Kudadoo, an island that caters to the most discerning luxury traveller with its ethos of freedom reimagined, and Healing Earth, which prides itself on over three decades of expertise and is a recognised leader adept at luxury green amenities tailored to the unique needs of five-star destinations across the globe, are a perfect match. The range of signature amenities that both reflect and respect the pristine natural surrounds of the private coral island is guaranteed to be received well by Kudadoo residents.
Healing Earth created two bespoke premium ranges for Kudadoo: the naturally nourishing Ocean Pearl and the gently indulgence Soft Coral. These world-class natural products, lovingly designed by Healing Earth Founder Elisabeth Brandt alongside the Kudadoo team, break away from traditional room amenities to offer a spa experience in the privacy and comfort of the residents’ own bathroom.
Kudadoo residents will get to pamper themselves with the following: a profoundly moisturising body and bath oil, luxurious bath foam and salts, a gentle exfoliating body scrub, nourishing shampoo and conditioner, a fragrant hand and body wash as well as a lotion. These amenities are complemented by an invigorating facial refresher, a gentle yet effective insect repellent, a refreshing herbal mouthwash, an uplifting room mist, a protective hygiene spray, a cooling after-sun gel, protective sunscreen and a handy lip balm.
The products are biodegradable, contain bio-identical active ingredients, organic essential oils, and Fairtrade botanicals, which are packaged in recycled glass and fall within the scope of The Healing Earth Foundation’s active outreach programme.
“We are excited to be able to offer guests a bespoke spa experience as part of their stay at Kudadoo. It was important for us that the product wasn’t only an indulgent experience but sustainable as well. I think through our partnership with Healing Earth we have been able to achieve this, essentially creating a more meaningful guest experience at Kudadoo,” Bradley Calder, General Manager at Kudadoo, was quoted in a statement, as saying.
As the first top-end five-star, truly all-inclusive resort in the Maldives, Kudadoo ensures a secluded getaway purposefully crafted for the more discerning guest.
An island defined by the philosophy ‘Freedom Reimagined’, the private island comes alive with effortless adventures as the resort endeavours to offer anything, anytime, anywhere. Personal butlers are available 24 hours a day to assist in making this possible by facilitating authentic experiences that capture the senses.
Perfect for exclusive hire, the resort comprises of just 15 overwater Ocean Residences, each with a 44 sqm terrace pool. The resort, located close to the main Hurawalhi Maldives resort in the northern Lhaviyani atoll, features additional accommodation for guests’ personal staff as part of the seamless experience.

Reethi Faru Resort proudly celebrates the extraordinary journey of two devoted guests, Iain and Debbie, who recently marked a special milestone: Debbie’s 40th visit to the Maldives. Iain, who has visited even more frequently, shares this remarkable tradition with Debbie, which began in 2005 when they discovered the Mahogany Group by chance. Since then, their deep connection with the resort has brought them back year after year.
Iain and Debbie’s love for the Maldives transcends mere vacations, evolving into a meaningful relationship with the resort and its staff. “When we arrive, it feels like we’re meeting family at the end of a very long journey,” Debbie shares, describing the warm and welcoming environment that greets them every time. Their bond with the staff is reflected in the many holidays, birthdays, and special occasions they have celebrated together.
Now retired, the couple enjoys extended stays at Reethi Faru, often spending up to three months a year diving, dining, and relaxing at the spa. Their loyalty to the resort is a testament to the exceptional service and community spirit it fosters. “We know everyone who works in the restaurants, and they treat us like friends,” Iain explains. “Those little touches—like trying something new or receiving a taster dish—make all the difference.”
The emotional connection the couple has with the resort runs deep. “Every time we leave, I cry all day, even though I know I’ll be back in a few months,” Debbie admits. “It’s always very hard to leave such a wonderful place.”
Iain and Debbie have also shared their enthusiasm for Reethi Faru with others, inspiring friends to join them. “We’ve recommended Reethi Faru to many of our friends, and it has become a central meeting point for divers and food lovers,” Iain says. “We all share a common passion for what we love.”
Having now visited Reethi Faru 30 times, the couple has already planned their next trip to the resort, underscoring their unwavering affection for the island paradise.
Reethi Faru Resort remains committed to fostering an environment where guests can create lasting memories and forge deep connections. The resort eagerly anticipates welcoming Iain, Debbie, and all returning guests for many years to come.
