Having recently officially opened in December 2019, Emerald Maldives Resort & SPA has now unveiled their new Emerald SPA in January 2020. Situated on one of the quietest parts of the island, the spa brings a Balinese-inspired, healing wellness concept to this destination that is like no other. A real first in terms of spectacular design, the Emerald SPA is cocooned by lush canopies and palm trees, creating the feel of a Balinese jungle a sanctuary within a sanctuary.



Rooted in ancient healing practices, Emerald SPA offers a full range of Balinese, Ayurvedic and Thai based rituals in 10 private villa-style treatment rooms. From traditional Shiatsu Thai massages, aromatherapy treatments using medicated, herbal oils, Abhyanga massages that target appetite and insomnia, and practices designed to aid depression and lessen anxiety the new SPA beautifully embodies a holistic approach. Luxury skincare brand Elemis is used in treatments, bringing its repute and proven efficacy to tailored wellness experiences. Home to a relaxation area with an Indonesian style pool, steam bath, sauna and Jacuzzi, Emerald SPA is a place of calm, connection and compassion.





"With Emerald SPA, we wanted to create an oasis for guests who wish to escape the pressures and stress of modern-day life. This peaceful wellness space provides a further escape for guests already staying on the Island," comments Ni Made Rai Asri, Spa Manager at Emerald SPA.

Emerald Maldives Resort & SPA is also home to a Yoga Pavilion, where guests are invited to meditate and practise yoga with unobstructed views and sounds of the ocean. Yogis of all levels are welcome to join the complimentary yoga and meditation classes that take place at sunrise and sunset daily.

The resort has also been built with sports and fitness lovers in mind with two large tennis courts, two paddle courts and a Gym & Sports Centre with a state-of-the-art Technogym. Personal trainers are available to all guests upon request.

The Emerald SPA has prioritised sustainability by using long-lasting Langhi Langhi leaves to build the SPA canopies, and solar panels to power all hot water. In a bid to reduce single-use plastic waste, paper straws are used as well as glass bottles and the island is home to a recyclable water irrigation system and composting facility.

Located on the Raa Atoll, a scenic seaplane journey from the Velana International Airport will cover the distance in 40 minutes, taking guests across the turquoise sea to Emerald Maldives Resort & SPA. Alternatively, a 30-minute domestic flight to the Ifuru Domestic Airport (particularly convenient to easily connect with the Velana International Airport in case of evening international flights) is also available and a 30-minute speedboat ride will complete the journey to reach the resort. This Deluxe all-inclusive resort, surrounded by 1.5 kilometres of soft white sand on a lush private 20-hectare island, features 120 villas, 60 of which are located on the island and 60 directly on the sea.
