Anantara Kihavah Unveils Maldives’ First Magnesium Spa Experience
Sunday 25th of May 2025
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has taken a bold step in redefining holistic wellness with the launch of the Maldives’ first magnesium-based spa treatments. Partnering with “Of The Islands,” a wellness brand known for its use of pure magnesium chloride sourced 1,500 metres underground in the Netherlands, Anantara introduces a new approach where science and nature work together to restore balance and vitality.
Nestled above the calm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the resort’s overwater spa offers six treatment rooms, designed for peace and rejuvenation. Already recognized for its Ayurvedic therapies and energy healing, the spa now offers five new magnesium-infused treatments aimed at modern travelers looking for deeper, more targeted healing.
What sets these treatments apart is the use of transdermal magnesium. Unlike traditional oral supplements, which absorb only partially into the body, this method delivers magnesium through the skin during massages, scrubs, and soaking rituals. It is the most effective way to boost the body’s natural levels of this essential mineral—supporting over 300 bodily functions including muscle recovery, heart health, sleep improvement, and nervous system balance.
Each new therapy is carefully crafted to provide both healing and sensory pleasure. Guests can choose from experiences like a full-body massage to ease tension and boost immunity, a 90-minute ritual that pairs a magnesium scrub with a rich magnesium butter massage, or a calming magnesium salt bath for deep relaxation. The menu also includes a holistic ritual with a facial component and a dynamic coffee-magnesium scrub followed by a gel massage.
“This is just the beginning,” said Ratheesh Parambil, Director of Spa & Wellness at Anantara Kihavah. “We are excited to raise the standard of holistic wellbeing with these magnesium wellness products. It marks a new chapter in our journey to offer complete health and wellness solutions.”
Ideal for those recovering from travel, physical exertion, or daily stress, these magnesium-based rituals offer more than just relaxation. They provide a deeper form of healing rooted in natural science and designed to meet the needs of today’s wellness-focused guests.
With this launch, Anantara Kihavah continues to lead the way in luxury wellness, inviting guests to experience renewal on a serene island where nature, rest, and science come together.
