Marriott International will open a Westin Resort in October in The Maldives, which will include a Heavenly Spa with five treatment rooms.

Developed by Belluna Co Ltd, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort hopes to herald the Westin brand’s wellness positioning in the Maldives. The Heavenly Spa, state-of-the-art gym and the entire resort are dedicated to the Westin pillar of ‘Stay Well’, with fresh and healthy cuisine available.

The spa will include three single and two double treatment rooms as well as a relaxation room, and will use spa products from French skincare brand Themae, which draws its inspiration from the Japanese art and culture of tea. The spa will reflect Westin’s commitment to wellness, and allow guests to replenish the mind and body with a personal sensory experience.

Nestled on a coral island in the Baa Atoll, the resort will feature 70 villas and suites, 41 on island and 29 overwaters. Created by Milan-based architects PEIA Associati, the resort’s design takes inspiration from the ocean and focuses on environmental sustainability.

The dining options include three resort restaurants and a rooftop bar. The all-day dining experience at Island Kitchen stays true to the Westin brand’s Eat Well pillar through a thoughtful menu combining Chinese, Indian and Maldivian fare.
