Maldives Promotion House – The Spa & Ayurvedic Retreat at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru has won the Best Destination Spa 2011 award, by The Crystal Awards Asia Pacific.

The Crystal Awards is an annual event organized by GRAS to honour and give due recognition to the crème de la crème of the spa and wellness industry. Awarding properties and individuals in various categories, the Awards endorse through a collective voice of leaders and experts in the industry the contributions that these properties and individuals make that enhance the industry, spearhead trends, change as well as exert an overall definition for the future direction of the industry.

The Crystal Awards were instituted with the underlying aim of educating spa consumers of the level of services and quality that they can expect from the industry. One of the main objectives of The Crystal Awards is to honour the best, irrespective of size. The perception that the bigger brands have an advantage is dispelled by a judging methodology which ensures entrants are evaluated on their merits and actual performance from a guest’s perspective.

Nestled amid 44 acres of immaculate wilderness, the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru echoes the brand’s renowned elegance and style with plush accommodations and the ultimate in spa pampering. Natural healing is the focus of all spa therapies, which are administered within the 10 idyllic, open-air treatment pavilions.

In addition to traditional massage and facial treatments, as well as salon services, the spa also offers Ayurvedic therapies, tantric traditions, chakra blessings and reconnection rituals, which aim to balance the mind, body and spirit through holistic traditions. Private yoga classes can be taken alone or in tandem with other spa treatments.
