Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi has debuted the Maldives’ first Aqua Wellness Centre. Further elevating the luxury wellness experience available to guests, the expansive facilities feature a new Hydrotherapy Pool, the Maldives’ first-ever wellness concierge, as well as unique spa treatments, all surrounded by a lush botanical garden facing the Indian Ocean.
The new 7,735-square-foot Aqua Wellness Centre features a custom-built hydrotherapy pool, an ice fountain, a steam room, and a 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 baths, air jets, shower jets, and a massage lounger, use varying levels of intensity and water temperatures 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.
