No vacation at Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa is complete without a visit to Duniye Spa. Here, you enter into a world of unparalleled relaxation. Great care has been taken to create a space for healing and calmness. Our spa therapists incorporate African and Eastern traditions to develop holistic treatments that put more emphasis on the power of touch and less on technology.

The Sense of Touch treatment helps you escape the humdrum of daily life by combining the world’s best massage techniques. The spa therapists work together with the body to harmonise energy flow, leaving you and your spirits revived. For ultimate de-stressing, the Heaven on Earth treatment is recommended. This massage stimulates the natural balance of the body, mind and soul. As your body is transported to a realm of relaxation, the Tibetan singing bowls calm you further. A truly blissful experience, it will leave you uplifted. Just as heavenly but a little more rooted in the earth is the Maldivian Island Paradise treatment. This bespoke massage offers an unforgettable tropical experience by using pure organic coconut essence.

For couples, an array of indulgences is available. Share with your loved one any of the treatments on offer that will appeal to all your senses and soothe all your worries away. The Full Moon Magic treatment, for example, comes with your choice of a full body massage, freshly prepared body polish, a spa gift and so much more. Similarly, the Honeymoon Indulgence, offered in a romantic setting encapsulates the wondrous powers of nature, using natural elements to bring you both to a place of calmness. With the Him & Her treatment, the two of you can spend some time enjoying the aromas of essential oils & luxuriating in a Balinese massage.
