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.

The expansive facilities include a brand-new hydrotherapy pool set atop the Maldivian waters with different zones, where each station of the pool targets a different part of the body.

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.

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.

All spa journeys begin with a Wellness Concierge — offering a personalized consultation for each guest to find the journey that will deliver equilibrium in mind, body and soul.

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.

Guests can also enjoy use of the ice fountain and steam room.

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

Guests can enjoy healing and relaxing treatments in the luxurious overwater treatment villa facing the Indian Ocean.

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.
