Anantara Kihavah Introduces Maldives’ First Magnesium-Based Spa Treatments

News

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has ushered in a new era of wellness with the launch of the Maldives’ first magnesium-based spa treatments, offering a science-driven, deeply restorative approach to holistic healing. Partnering with pioneering wellness brand Of The Islands, the resort has introduced a suite of treatments featuring pure magnesium chloride, sourced from 1,500 metres below ground in the Netherlands—believed to be the world’s only natural deposit of its kind.

Nestled above the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Anantara Kihavah’s overwater spa—already known for its Ayurvedic therapies, sound healing, and energy work—now elevates its offerings with five magnesium-infused treatments. Designed to restore balance, reduce stress, and support the body on a cellular level, these therapies fuse nature, science, and sensory immersion.

“Magnesium is essential for over 300 bodily functions, including muscle recovery, cardiovascular health, and sleep regulation,” explained Ratheesh Parambil, Director of Spa & Wellness. “Through this partnership, we are thrilled to redefine our wellness experience and offer results-driven treatments that truly nourish from the inside out.”

Unlike oral supplements, these treatments use transdermal magnesium—absorbed through the skin—for immediate, targeted benefits. From immune-boosting massages to a magnesium butter body ritual and a calming salt bath, each experience is crafted to deliver therapeutic relief for modern-day fatigue, stress, and physical strain.

Perfect for guests recovering from jet lag, athletic exertion, or the demands of urban life, the new treatments include a facial-integrated holistic ritual, a dynamic coffee-magnesium scrub, and a deeply relaxing magnesium salt soak—each combining natural healing with the luxury of Anantara Kihavah’s serene spa setting.

With this launch, Anantara Kihavah sets a new benchmark in wellness travel in the Maldives, creating an environment where science meets serenity, and guests can reconnect with themselves in profound and lasting ways.
