Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is home to Aqua Wellness Centre, a 7,735 square-foot luxury wellness oasis that features the Maldives’ first-ever wellness concierge along with unique spa treatments, where guests can relax while surrounded by a lush botanical garden that overlooks the Indian Ocean.

Escape to Remote Destinations With These Unique Travel Experiences

One of Aqua Wellness Centre’s top amenities is a 2,906 square-foot custom-built hydrotherapy pool that is designed in zones with different stations that target different parts of the body. The treatment menu includes a diverse selection of holistic and highly customized services designed to relax and rejuvenate, and a wide range of leading wellness experts are available to guide guests through their spa journeys and wellness experiences.

We interviewed Angie Tai, Director of Spa, to learn more about Aqua Wellness Centre’s unique treatments and special amenities, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: The guests love the nature, tranquility space and location of our overwater treatment villa facing the Indian Ocean and sunset. They also love the Selection of Signature Spa Journeys. They can select four different treatment journeys (Empower with Earth, Calm with Water, Energize with Fire, and Fortify with Metal) when they stay two weeks in the resort besides the normal massage and beauty services.

Insider’s Tip: Meet our Wellness Concierge in the Waldorf Astoria Spa, they may recommend great tips to help you to find your inner peace and transform you to a better you.

Key Features: The brand-new 7,735 square-foot elaborate Aqua Wellness Centre features a custom-built Hydrotherapy pool, ice fountain, steam room and sauna. Set atop the crystal Maldivian waters, the 2,906 square-foot outdoor pool is designed in zones, where each station of the pool targets a different part of the body. The zones – which include jet bath, air jets, shower jets, and massage lounger – use varying levels of intensity and water temperature that aim to ease muscle tension, boost the immune system, increase blood circulation, speed up metabolism and improve deep sleep quality.

Guests can enjoy a specially curated healthy lunch in the garden and a choice of massage, meditation or yoga session following the pool experience. With a capacity of two people, reservations for the Hydrotherapy Pool are required.

Bonus: On special occasions we will provide guests with a complimentary Aqua Pool Experience and after treatments guests are offered either a complimentary sunscreen application or a collagen mist spray to complete their treatment.

Spa Snacks: Four selections of teas that match the Signature Spa journeys are available for guests as well as welcome tea. Tamarind juice or ginger tea is serve to the guest (either cold or warm).

Splurge Treatment: The most luxurious splurge treatment would be the Aquatherapy session combined with our Starlight Ocean Massage.

Unique Treatment:  Our Jetlag Revival Treatment – a rebalancing treatment that stimulates the circulation, reduces swelling and eases muscle tension. A back and leg massage with aromatherapy oil revives your circulation and is followed by a heated bag to improve blood flow. A head massage and eye mask reset your internal clock.

Insider’s Favorite: My favorite treatment at the spa would be one of our Signature Spa Journey – Empower with Earth, the ultimate indulgent experience, a top-to-toe ritual leaves you feeling truly rejuvenated.

Featured Products: Elemental Herbology, Carol Joy London, Coola, and Philip Kingsley.
