Across the 4 decades of watching the Maldives tourism evolve, we remember when most mainstream resorts didn’t even have spas. Then some added Western therapists on six-month contract given a table in some back room to work from. Eventually, proper wellness spas became the norm and soon, at the luxury properties, these establishments got positioned over the magical water like the villas and restaurants before them. Now South Palm has taken that treatment innovation a step even further by (a) introducing the Maldives’ first ever floating spa, and (b) the Maldives first ever lake spa.
Many of my favourite treatments in the Maldives were on overwater platforms where the natural sounds and sensations of the surrounding sea providing the soothing soundscape. A good massage will leave feeling like your are floating, and at South Palm you can get that feeling for real
