The 105-key Loama Resort Maldives at Maamigili has launched a 496sq m (5,339sq ft) spa with treatment rooms extending out on a jetty over the sea.

Spa consultant Barry Warrington of IS Wellness and designer Mikael Tay of Singapore-based The Monocot Studio created four beach spa villas and four over-water villas that face southwest to take advantage of the sunset.

Owned by Singaporean company GJS Group, the resort’s new spa has a steambath and offers a variety of therapeutic treatments using its own in-house branded skincare products, signature to The Loama Spa, made with natural plant essence and extracts.

A spokesperson for the resort told Spa Opportunities that the spa expects to receive 1,000 guests within its first year of operation. The spa investment cost remains confidential.
