Natural sensuality

·         Everywhere you walk there are candles, divine scents, ambient music and carefully arranged gardens, all of which are signs of the perfect attention paid to detail in order to create an ambience of Zen and well-being in synchronisation with the environment.

·         Coconut oil and pandanus flowers are just some of the ingredients found in the list of locally-inspired treatments offered by the resort spas which make use of beneficial plants and flowers which grow abundantly on the islands. These include massages and scrubs using grated coconut, coconut oil, and papaya and pandanus leaves, and they are all naturally great for you. Sometimes the best remedies are the sand and the sea breezes…

·         The ever-present sea: with treatment suites set upon stilts (a feature unique to Polynesia) whose floors open onto an incredible natural aquarium, and Jacuzzis with a view of the vivid ultramarine ocean beyond the coral reefs, the ever-present sea is the jewel in the island crown. The vast majority of facilities extend down to wide, unspoilt beaches, and have a stunning mix of interior and exterior spaces as a result of the balmy climate, which is set constantly at a comfortable 30˚C.

·         The latest styles: The hotels in the Maldives pride themselves on being at the cutting edge when it comes to construction materials and design. Ironically, even isolated as they are, the Maldives comprise some of the most innovative examples of seaside development, including the Underwater Spa 12 metres below the surface of Huvafen Fushi, and the Conrad Rangali’s incredible two-spa design.
