Olhuveli Beach and Spa Resort

South Male Atoll, Maldives

The idea of holistic health is to be more than just physically well – treatments also promote a feeling of harmony with your mind, body and spirit. Typical treatments are usually based on different types of massage, depending on your individual needs.

The healing practice of Ayurveda is also very much part of the spa’s ultimate chill-out and de-stress technique. Ayurveda, roughly translated to ‘life knowledge’, is an ancient Indian method for healthy living and finding balance for your body and mind. Typically, Ayurvedic sessions include diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up advice to help keep your body in complete health. Treatments vary, but will often include massage, breathing and sometimes meditation – so prepare to be lifted onto cloud 9!

And as if that’s not enough, you’ll also find six deluxe double massage parlours, luxurious baths and a sauna. You may wish to tidy up with a relaxing foot pedicure or manicure, or perhaps even get a style makeover in the spa’s very own hair salon. So with the spa side taken care of, how about where you’ll sleep? You’ll be pleased to know that the Olhuveli Beach and Spa Resort doesn’t just do treatments, relaxation and healing. It also does deluxe rooms, water villas and elegant furnishings. Not to mention several different restaurants including a la carte dining, themed buffet evenings and Japanese cuisine. On top of that, there’s also a whole host of activities available. A large shallow lagoon surrounds the whole island, simply crying out to be explored. How about trying your hand at windsurfing, wake boarding or kite surfing?

One thing’s for sure – you’ll always find something to do to fill an hour or several at the Olhuveli Beach Resort and Spa.
