OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI has recently appointed Elise Rimbaud as the Director of Spa and Wellness.

An experienced wellness practitioner herself, Elise is responsible for the wellness programs at ELE | NA Elements Of Nature, the spa and wellness centre at Bolifushi island.

Elise taps into naturopathic and ayurvedic medicines to design and execute bespoke wellness programs.

Following a wellness consultation, she recommends a personalised journey of therapeutic practices, spa treatments, diet, and remedies for each guest. The idea is to ensure wellness is integrated into every aspect of the guest’s journey.

Luisa Lalli, general manager of OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, says: “Elise brings a wealth of experience to her role, being well-versed in Eastern healing cultures combined with a strong background in sales and spa leadership. She’s one of the few spa directors who is also a certified Naturopath.”

“An abundance of exceptional and inspiring experiences will always be at the root of everything we do and offer at Bolifushi island, and I’m sure Elise will do an excellent job of integrating wellness into the guest journey.”

Passion and purpose drive Elise Rimbaud. After graduating from the University of London with a BA Management degree, Elise started her professional career in 2007 in sales. Since then her passion for wellness has led her to travel throughout Asia where she studied and practised alternative therapies including Naturopathy, Yoga, Reiki, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Prior to joining OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, Elise has successfully managed prestigious Spa and Wellness facilities across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

“I look forward to helping each guest embrace a healthy, meaningful, and happier lifestyle by helping them expand their full potential,” says Elise.

Nestled between the turquoise ocean and the tropical landscape of Bolifushi island, ELE | NA Elements of Nature spa is an oasis of serenity inviting guests to unwind, indulge, and embark on a wellness journey.

The elegant spa offers four overwater and four garden treatment rooms, a hairdresser and beauty salon, and a spa boutique.

The treatments are all carried out by highly trained, international therapists using premium spa products and local wellness products, such as the 100 per cent pure, signature coconut oil, made right at the island by the team.

THE OZEN COLLECTION is an Uber-Lux, hospitality brand that offers ultimate privacy blended with Refined Elegance, for blissfully immersive holidays in pristine, Indian Ocean locations.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, the first resort under this brand, opened in July 2016.

THE OZEN COLLECTION’s success story continues in the Maldives with the addition of OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, launched in December 2020.

OZEN RETREAT TANGALLE takes the brand to the south coast of Sri Lanka and is scheduled to be launched in 2023.

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.
