SPA Cenvaree at Centara Ras Fushi Resort and Spa Maldives, and The Spa by Thalgo at The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi have been named the best Luxury Resort Spa in Indian Ocean.

At the gala ceremony of World Luxury Spa Awards, which took place at the JW Marriott Hanoi hotel in Vietnam on July 22, The Spa by Thalgo at The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi received the continental award for the best Luxury Resort Spa in Indian Ocean, while the SPA Cenvaree at Centara Ras Fushi Resort and Spa Maldives was awarded the regional title in the same category.

Meanwhile, the U Spa by Constance at Constance Halaveli Maldives won the country title in the Luxury Resort Spa category.

In addition to the entire island being a sanctuary of natural beauty, The Spa by Thalgo at The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an open immersion in organic earth and vibrant sea, the elements from which Ayurveda draws its centuries-old healing power.

The Spa by Thalgo has perfected this ancient holistic tradition, blending its timeless wisdom with contemporary practices found both East and West. A resident Ayurvedic Doctor guides guests on their own personalised journeys to wellness both during their stay and beyond, while expert practitioners in traditional massage, authentic Maldivian-inspired rituals and world-renowned wellness practices combine finely honed knowledge with a naturally healing touch.

All this takes place in a setting that mirrors the natural splendour of the island. Wood, stone, water and light — all the fundamental elements of the earth — come together in perfect harmony in the design of the spa’s 20 treatment rooms, which are complemented by hydrotherapy pools, steam rooms and saunas. Additionally, dedicated relaxation areas are designed as natural sanctuaries, allowing guests to take a moment before emerging renewed.
