Kuramathi Spa introduces new concept “The Essence of Wellbeing”

Maldives Promotion House – Kuramathi is an island with remarkably abundant flora, a lagoon displaying shades of blue from navy to turquoise and a powder white sandbank at the tip of the island; and that’s just some of the few reasons why guests love to return again and again to this emerald jewel. Value for money, great all inclusive plans and a fun kids club complements the long list of comforts available to our guests. This October, we are proud to unveil, the Kuramathi Spa, perfected to offer an even better spa experience to all our guests.
Following a new philosophy “the essence of well-being” and the desire to take the Spa experience to a new level, Kuramathi now manages its own Spa. New and improved, the Spa is now your ultimate gateway to connect with your inner self and attain a state of tranquility. The therapies and treatments at the Spa have been aligned to same level of service and quality offered by the rest of the resort.
Upon arrival, you are greeted and welcomed to the Spa by a team of Spa professionals, who assess your needs and leave you to ponder over the choice of the wide range of experiences available. Our Spa director – Pedro Catarino leads the multicultural team comprising of masseuses, beauticians, receptionists, and a Yoga and meditation instructor. Pedro shares his years of experience with us, as he sets sights on providing better experiences for our guests. He has been an instrumental figure in the vital changes that were implemented into the current Spa concept.
Recreating the Spa concept was an intricate yet thoughtful process thanks to the unison of ideas developed by the professional team behind this much anticipated facelift. Professional consultancy was also provided by a renowned Spa consultant, whose contributions included a new Spa menu, due to be launched this month, and enhancing the service levels of the Spa team a few notches higher through means of rigorous training.
New signature rituals feature their way into the Spa Menu, now a comprehensive list of authentic therapies ranging from the ancient art of Ayurveda to the pacifying effects conveyed by the preserved secrets of Balinese therapies.
A whole new addition to the Spa is the YonKa skin care line; an all-natural product range with its roots stemming from Paris, France. YonKa is a well-established brand renowned as pioneers in aromatherapy and phytotherapy. Presently, they boast a meticulous selection of Spas around the globe, with a history of delivering aesthetic treatments for over 60 years. Aligning well with our own slogan, “Naturally Maldives”, these products are not only effective in conveying health and beauty, but are also purely organic, providing a surreal experience to the guests who chose these inspired programs.
The partnership of YonKa and Kuramathi has resulted in many new treatment options available for our guests. With over 5 skin care programs suited for both him and her, along with the addition of revitalising body care therapies, and signature rituals, the present Kuramathi Spa promises to be a personal doorway to achieve a sense of sereneness and spirituality. Spa Pedicures and Manicure treatments are now redefined and complemented with original products as well, with Bella Lucce and Zoya, well-known for containing carbon neutral elements free from harmful chemicals.
Meditation is also introduced along with Yoga classes, set to bring balance to the mind, body and soul. The classes are conducted by a professional yoga / meditation instructor and are available in both private and group sessions at very reasonable prices.
The General Manager, Latheef shares his thoughts and says that “The new Kuramathi Spa is an idea conceived after deciding to bring forth a professional touch to the Spa experience and product range, to meet the expectations of the guests. Kuramathi has continued to develop and improve itself since its revamp in 2009, and this year it is the Spa’s turn, our guests expect and deserve an equivalent experience at Kuramathi Spa.”

Revolutionary relaxation: Anantara Kihavah unveils Maldives’ first magnesium spa treatments

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas unveils a transformative new chapter in wellness with the launch of the Maldives’ first Magnesium-based spa treatments, redefining holistic healing for the modern traveller. In partnership with “Of The Islands”, a pioneering wellness brand that harnesses the power of the world’s only natural source of pure magnesium chloride—extracted 1,500 metres below ground in the Netherlands—Anantara Kihavah introduces a wellness concept where science, nature and emotional reconnection converge in a single, immersive experience.
Perched above the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Anantara Kihavah’s overwater spa features six serene treatment rooms, the perfect location for rejuvenation and restoration. Already celebrated for its diverse menu of Ayurvedic therapies, energy and sound healing, the spa now introduces a curated collection of five magnesium-infused treatments designed to restore balance, vitality and inner calm.
Unlike traditional massages that focus purely on relaxation, this new generation of treatments supports the body on a cellular level. Magnesium is essential to more than 300 vital functions in the human body, from muscle recovery and cardiovascular health to improved sleep and nervous system balance. While oral supplements allow for only limited absorption, these treatments use transdermal magnesium, the most effective way for the body to absorb and benefit from this essential mineral. Delivered through the skin during massage, scrub, and soaking rituals, the body receives immediate, targeted replenishment in its most natural form.
Each of the five new treatments has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of today’s wellness seekers. From a full-body massage that boosts immunity and relieves tension, to a 90-minute ritual combining a magnesium scrub with a replenishing massage using magnesium butter, each experience fuses therapeutic benefit with sensory delight. Other highlights include a signature holistic ritual with a facial component, a dynamic coffee-magnesium scrub with gel massage, and a deeply calming magnesium salt bath for guests seeking stillness and renewal.

“With the introduction of this partnership, we are thrilled to elevate holistic wellbeing to new heights at Kihavah. This marks the first stage of our evolution, where we integrate magnesium wellness products to enhance our offerings. Our commitment to providing comprehensive health and wellness solutions is stronger than ever, and we are excited to embark on this journey towards better wellbeing for all our guests,” said Ratheesh Parambil, Director of Spa & Wellness at Anantara Kihavah.
Ideal for those recovering from long-haul travel, high-performance activity, or the demands of a fast-paced urban lifestyle, these new rituals go beyond aromatherapy to offer results-driven healing rooted in nature and modern science. From deep rest to muscular repair, magnesium is the silent force behind true balance and now, a centerpiece of Anantara Kihavah’s elevated approach to wellbeing.
By introducing magnesium-based treatments to the Maldives for the first time, Anantara Kihavah continues to set new standards in luxury wellness. Here, on an island where the ocean meets the sky and time slows, guests are invited to embark on a journey of renewal, where stress melts away, and the mind, body and soul return to harmony.
