Spa villa, medical spa and ayurveda retreat programmes on tap for Maldives Anantara
POSTED 28 Nov 2018 . BY Jane Kitchen
The newly devised ayurveda retreats at Anantara Kihavah feature a tailored combination of treatments and exercise, as well as diet and lifestyle modifications
Anantara Kihavah Villas in the Maldives has launched a Spa Villa that offers unlimited daily spa treatments and a dedicated spa therapist. In addition, the resort is opening a new medical spa this month and launching two ayurveda retreat programmes.

Guests at the new Deluxe Spa Pool Villa will be pampered by the villa’s spa therapist without leaving the privacy of their villa. Guests enjoy limitless personalised spa treatments, meditation practices and private water aerobics every day from 10.00 am to 10.00 pm.

The enhanced villa features an indoor, en-suite spa room, where guests can choose from more than 25 signature treatments, or they can also enjoy their treatments outside on the private poolside terrace. Consultations are provided before arrival ensuring a bespoke experience.


The over-water Cocoon Medical Spa, which launches this month, includes new therapies designed to detoxify and cleanse performed by senior aesthetic and wellness nurse Nur Laili.

“We offer state-of-the-art, quality treatments in a luxurious, relaxing setting to help you present your best and most vibrant self,” said Laili.

Treatments include Vitamin IV infusion, Dermapen Needling, diamond microdermabrasion, velashape fat blast to reduce body fat, and epigenetic analysis for information on the body’s level of nutrients.


The newly devised ayurveda retreats at Anantara Kihavah feature a tailored combination of treatments and exercise, as well as diet and lifestyle modifications to bring balance to our vital energies – or doshas.

Heading the Ayurveda team at Kihavah is Kerala native Sharath Ram, an all-round practitioner with over a decade’s experience across South Asia and the Middle East.

Ram has created two specialist programmes: Longevity and Detoxifying. The Longevity programme targets the everyday toxins that overload our liver and immune system, whereas the Detoxifying programme is designed to rejuvenate the body, strengthen the immune system and restore a naturally vibrant glow through addressing the damaging effects of modern life stresses.

Retreats are three, five or seven days, and include a private lifestyle consultation and therapeutic treatments with restorative yoga, breathing, meditation and herbal steams.

Ram offers a private one-on-one consultation to establish guests’ body type in addition to the state of their physical and mental health. Following the consultation, guests will receive a specially recommended combination of treatments and private yoga sessions that have been tailored based on their individual requirements.
