ELE | NA Elements of Nature at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI: Your path to healing and rejuvenation

Few things are as utterly stress-dissolving as spending time at a beach, or really anywhere with an ocean view. The mere sight of the Maldives — a thread of islands in a turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean — would provide exactly that sense of tranquility. But what if a wellbeing retreat in Maldives could take it up a notch? The extent to which the numerous wellness offerings at THE OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI retreat would magnify just that feeling of calm, much like floating on air.
ELE | NA Elements of Nature is an uber-luxe spa and wellness brand for THE OZEN COLLECTION. Every spa ritual and wellness experience is a journey through all the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and scent.

At THE OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, the ELE | NA Elements of Nature spa is nestled between the turquoise ocean and the tropical landscape of the island. It provides an oasis of serenity, inviting you to unwind, indulge, and embark on a wellness journey. Pamper yourself with a rejuvenating massage, a scrub, or a soothing sun treatment. Find your zen with guided meditation sessions and yoga on the beach.
Soothe your senses with rituals using ancient massage techniques and our signature treatments based on a holistic method that incorporates the five natural elements wind, water, fire, earth, and wood. The treatments are all carried out by passionate, highly trained, international therapists using premium Ila spa products. The complex consists of serene treatment rooms: four overwater and four garden rooms, a hairdresser and beauty salon, a spa boutique, and a photo lounge exclusively at one of the best spas in the Maldives.

Milaidhoo Maldives has earned a coveted spot in Wanderlust Magazine’s ‘Wandersleep’ list, celebrated under the ‘Sense of Place’ category for stays that offer a deep connection to their destination. This recognition highlights the resort’s commitment to authenticity, culture, and meaningful travel.
Nestled in the breathtaking Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a luxury island retreat—it’s an intimate expression of Maldivian heritage.

This careful attention to design fosters a sense of belonging, allowing guests to engage deeply with the spirit of the islands.
Milaidhoo’s identity is rooted in its local ownership.

From coral conservation experiences to fishing excursions with local fishermen, every element of the guest journey is curated to offer a sense of connection—to people, to place, and to purpose.
The island’s gentle rhythm of ‘slow living’ invites guests to unwind and embrace island life at its purest. This ethos extends to the culinary experience at Ba’theli, Milaidhoo’s signature restaurant, where traditional dhoni boats float above the lagoon, serving dishes infused with the spices and stories of the Indian Ocean’s ancient maritime routes.
Milaidhoo’s inclusion in Wanderlust’s ‘Wandersleep’ list affirms its status as a destination that goes beyond luxury, offering travellers a meaningful and memorable stay steeped in a true sense of place.
