Deep in the midst of Landaa Giraavaru, the Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat pulsates with life and wisdom, purity and health. With a strong emphasis on natural healing, the 1.2-hectare medically accredited complex draws its strength from the surrounding landscape, the integrity of ila’s Beyond Organic products, and the intrinsic spirituality of its therapists and ayurvedic physicians.

TEN VAST OPEN-AIR TREATMENT PAVILIONS ARE NESTLED IN THEIR OWN LUSH TROPICAL GARDENS OR ON STILTS OVER THE TURQUOISE LAGOON.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life, focuses on the three main aspects of health: diet, exercise and sleep. During each immersion, the Resort’s two ayurvedic physicians work with their yogi, nature’s pharmacy and the island’s exceptional team of therapists and chefs to guide each guest along their own transformational path to ultimate wellness. For one, two or three weeks, immerse yourself in Ayurveda in the remote, natural wilderness of Landaa Giraavaru.

Landaa Giraavaru’s vast natural wilderness incorporates 103 thatched bungalows and villas of contemporary Maldivian design. Hidden behind traditional turquoise gates, all land-based accommodations have their own beach access, pool and lush genuinely private gardens. Beach Villas and Family Beach Villas also have a 12-metre lap pool, sand-floor living area with sofas and toes-in-the-sand dining, and sea-gazing loft. Perched on stilts over the tranquil lagoon, the Water Villas – some with pools – offer panoramic Indian Ocean views through floor to ceiling windows, spacious sundecks, outdoor showers, and nets for over-water lazing. Land & Ocean Villas link land-based living quarters and over-water bedrooms across a vast pool deck, while the uber-luxe Three-bedroom Landaa Estate has its own 80-metre beach and 2,000 square feet of al fresco living space.
