Joali Being - sleep therapy

One would think that of all places, the relaxed chill of the indolent Maldives would be the last place where one would need help sleeping. But sleep is a bit more complicated than that. Global visitors will confront jet lag. High-powered go-getters can often have trouble shifting gears to decompress. People of a certain age (like us) often suffer from disrupted sleep patterns. And even the blessing of the poolside laying about can make it difficult to get a full night’s sleep because you have rested so much during the day. Joali Being now how has a treatment for anyone who not only wants a relaxing holiday, but also guidance on restful nights even after the vacation is over – sleep therapy:

  • ·Regulate and improve your sleeping patterns. By addressing the underlying health imbalances that may be contributing to your sleep concerns, this Wellbeing Programme ensures that not only will you rest better whilst on holiday but also after you return home.”

Best of the Maldives: Stem Cell Treatment – Soneva Fushi

Soneva Soul - stem cell therapy

Stem cells are truly amazing components of the human body. They are undifferentiated cells that can turn into wide range of cell types (or they can just replicate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell). As a result of these distinctive characteristics, they are seen as the original human cell from which the human organised has evolved. A friend of mine recently had a life saving stem cell transplant where his faulty immune system was destroyed by the doctors and then they introduced the right stem cells to grow him whole new, healthy immune system (forgive the over-simplification).

Soneva Fushi has brought the scientific magic of stem cells to the Maldives offers the first ever stem cell treatments for a range of skin care procedures – Soneva Soul – First And Only Stem Cell Centre In Maldives (maldives-times.com):

  • “By importing stem cells with prescription, Soneva Soul has eminent its collection of bespoke health and wellness services. Operating with the essential approvals from the Maldives Food and Drug Authority and maintenance world-class standards, the resort is now competent to provide targeted treatment and protocols by the power and probable of stem cells.

Built on two decades of study at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, they specialize in the high-class manufacture of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).”

Best of the Maldives: Floating Spa – South Palm

South Palm - floating spa 1

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

Cora Cora - herbal compression workshop 1

Sometimes “BestOfs” are doubly good. I have not only not seen “herbal compression” treatments at a spa, but I have certainly not seen a workshop that teaches you who to make your own. But Cora Cora has put these together is a distinctively creative wellness experience. The herbal compresses are heated in a special steamer and then the warm herb compress is then applied (either directly to skin or through thin pyjamas) during a massage. The compress itself is made of a collectin of herbs wrapped tightly in a thin muslin or cotton cloth.

Joali Being - wellness

I appreciate when resorts focus on a certain market, style or ambience instead of being all things to all people. Well, Joali Being is 100% focused on well-being:

· “Maldives’ first luxury bespoke wellbeing resort…Here guests are guided on the path to self-discovery and renewal.”
