An oasis of serenity with therapies inspired by nature
Set within a botanical sanctuary surrounded by turquoise waters, in 10 treatment villas across 10,000 square meters, the Waldorf Astoria Spa provides guests with an oasis of tranquillity where they can reconnect with nature and refresh their mind, body and soul with a range of customisable treatments.

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi Spa only uses natural ingredients, namely plants and herbs that facilitate wellbeing and harmony. Following a highly personalised consultation process, the Spa’s unique Wellness Concierge service delivers bespoke health and relaxation solutions for guests, helping them to discover equilibrium in mind, body and soul.

Luxury facials by Carol Joy London are complemented by a unique Wellness Programme, provided by experienced and intuitive practitioners. They offer guests treatments and meals aimed at specific areas of health and wellness, e.g. age reversal, de-stress and sleep therapy.

The selection of spa therapies and treatments is categorised by three journeys – relaxation, rebalancing and results. They offer a plethora of indulgent options, spanning the Signature Journey range, inspired by the four natural elements of earth, water, fire and metal, to the Ancient Healing treatments, such as the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage for deep tissue relaxation and mood elevation.

Those in search of the ultimate relaxation can opt for the Starlight Ocean Massage in the exclusive Yoga Pavilion, where they can enjoy the benefits of a slow, rhythmic massage under the Maldivian stars and relax to the sound of gently lapping waves. Visitors also have access to on-site practitioners for private wellness activities such as meditation, yoga and Pilates.
