Mandara has opened a new luxury spa following the introduction of the Akiri Spa by Mandara at Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives.

Situated in the Lhaviyani Atoll, the site features six double spa villas with outdoor baths and showers, a retail boutique, nail and hair salon and separate male and female changing rooms with steam, sauna and spa pool facilities.

The spa also hosts a relaxation lounge offering views of the eastern coast of the island, recommended for use both pre and post treatment.

The comprehensive menu offers massages, traditional body scrubs, herbal steam and facials – all of which use fresh ingredients prepared on a daily basis.

Guests can also choose from facial remedies from British luxury spa and skincare brand Elemis.

“We are proud to continue our expansion in the Maldives, with yet another esteemed business associate,” said Jeff Matthews, president and chief operating officer of Mandara Spa Asia. “We look forward to providing our customers with a unique ambiance, enhanced by the distinctive Mandara Spa experience.”

Mandara Spa, founded in Bali in 1995, has operations worldwide, including offerings in the likes of the Bahamas, the Caribbean, China, Dubai, Egypt, Las Vegas and London.
