Envy your friends with Anantara’s perfect sun-kissed holiday tanning program

Maldives.net.mv – What better way to make friends more envious after a Maldivian holiday then by coming back with the perfect sun-kissed tan. Anantara Spa in the Maldives has come up with a full tanning program to make guests look radiant, sexy and attractive while at the same time minimizing any risks associated with getting that perfect golden glow.
Answering the prayers of sun worshippers and spa lovers worldwide, Anantara’s Maldivian resorts of Dhigu, Veli and Naladhu have teamed up with COOLA’s award winning organic sun skincare products, to offer guests a full treatment program that gives the perfect tan to all skin types.
Following a detailed skin analysis to determine the skin type and SPF requirement of each guest, Anantara Spa’s COOLA Sun Care Treatment Programmes maximise time in the sun for a natural, long lasting tan. Professional preparation and soothing after care treatments are performed by Anantara Spa therapists in luxurious treatment suites, or in the comfort of the guest’s private villa.
Getting ready to worship the sun is an exotic affair with the 60 minute Morning Sun Soother, which prepares skin for a day of lazy sunbathing, snorkelling or water sports with a Coconut & Mint Scrub and Wrap, Pre Sun Care Facial and application of COOLA Sun Protector, as well as a Sun Care COOLA SPF body treatment to moisturise and protect from sun damage and sunburn.
Even sunscreen top ups spoil guests at the shady COOLA Sun Spa Cabana, conveniently located just steps away from the pool and beach of each resort. Letting an expert do all the work, guests relax as their personally prescribed COOLA SPF Body Spray is reapplied every three hours, lavishing skin with all day moisturisation, nourishment and protection. For those who prefer to reapply sunscreen themselves, prescribed COOLA sun care products are available for purchase.
Offering the perfect finale to each day in paradise, the 60 minute Sundowner Recovery Remedy treats sun kissed skin from head to toe with a Recovery Body Aloe Sun Soother, Post Recovery Facial Sun Soother and Post Body Recovery Application, made even more pleasurable by a deeply relaxing Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage.
Sun and spa lovers seeking the ultimate package can surrender to a whole day of sumptuous care, with the COOLA Full Day Sun Care Programme of pre-sun preparation, all day protection and luxurious after sun pampering.
Guests can also relax in the knowledge that COOLA’s high performance products boast a wealth of natural appeals. Vitamins and age-defying antioxidants are combined with natural phyto-protectors, such as plankton, red algae and red raspberry seed oil, which have innate sun protection qualities to boost SPF value naturally. Water resistant and reef friendly formulas are ideal for the Maldives’ oceanic playground. Offering eco-conscious benefits, all products are Paba, Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate free, and are not tested on animals. COOLA even harnesses the power of the sun, with the majority of products created in a solar powered facility.

Global Wellness Day 2025 at Milaidhoo: journey of transformation and reconnection

On Global Wellness Day, celebrated on 14th June 2025, Milaidhoo invites guests to embrace a deeper sense of presence and harmony through its unique wellbeing philosophy rooted in ‘slow living.’ Reflecting the global theme of #ReconnectMagenta, which emphasises the importance of meaningful connections, Milaidhoo’s curated programme encourages guests to reconnect with themselves, the community, and the natural world in one of the most serene settings on Earth.
Situated in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a boutique island retreat; it is a sanctuary for mindful rejuvenation. At Milaidhoo, wellness extends beyond the spa, permeating every detail of the guest experience — from barefoot living and soulful seclusion to fresh, nourishing cuisine and personalised wellness menus designed to support individual journeys of transformation.
Global Wellness Day 2025 at Milaidhoo will begin with a soul-awakening dynamic cleansing and yoga nidra session at 8:00 on an exclusive sandbank. This session offers guests a chance to silence external noise, realign with their inner rhythm, and reconnect with themselves amidst the Indian Ocean horizon.
At 11:00, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a coral plantation activity led by the resort’s marine biologist at the Ocean Stories Aquatic Centre. This interactive conservation initiative allows guests to give back to the local ecosystem and fosters an emotional connection to the broader community of life beneath the waves.
In the afternoon, from 16:00 to 17:00, guests can embark on a guided mindful walking experience around the island. This activity invites participants to reconnect with nature through observation and intention, with each barefoot step across soft sand and lush jungle paths revealing the healing power of nature.
At Milaidhoo, food is an integral part of wellness, with every dish curated with wellbeing in mind. Whether it is plant-based vitality bowls from the Chef’s Garden, fresh-caught seafood, or custom-designed menus tailored to individual health goals, guests are encouraged to nourish not only their bodies but also their senses.
Paul van Frank, Milaidhoo’s general manager, shared, “Our wellness ethos embraces the art of slowing down and living in the moment. Global Wellness Day is an opportunity to remind guests of the power of reconnecting with themselves, with each other, and with the beautiful world around them.”
