Selfie-worthy turquoise seas, floating infinity pools and are just a small part of luxury holidays in Maldives. But wait, there’s more. How about adding in a mango smoothie mask for that glowing plump skin too?

Each resort is on its own separate island, so your experience will vary, depending on where you stay. This includes everything from your room to the service, the food and, of course, the spas. so, we have rounded up some of the best spa experiences in Maldives which you can add to your client’s bucket list. But to start with, let’s talk about the ‘Edible Spa’ experience. Go get ready for some top-notch R&R (Rest & Recreation) experiences.

1. An edible spa menu at Coco Spa, Coco Bodu Hithi

Yup, we said edible. Once you’ve settled in, had a quick snorkel around the on-location coral reefs, sniffed the Acqua Di Parma products in the shower, and Instagrammed the endless sea view, hop on a buggy down the wooden jetty to the Coco Spa.

Each treatment uses homemade spa products made from 100% edible ingredients such as coconut, papaya, kiwi, turmeric, avocado, honey, and yoghurt, to name just a few. Why not try the Chocolate Cake Scrub? Or perhaps the Papaya Panna Cotta Mask, Banana Ice Cream Wrap or Coco Rice Pudding Scrub? Sounds delicious (and they are) but thankfully, the unusual ingredients are just part of the recipe for a next-level spa treatment.

Combining more traditional massage techniques and stretches (we dare you to stay awake through the head massage) with the edible scrubs and masks that pack serious skin benefits means you’re in for a treatment that transcends mere novelty.

If your client has already tried this spa and wants a wellness holiday in Maldives, book them at few of the below-mentioned resorts for that ultimate zen experience.

2. LIME – Huvafen Fushi

Why bother your clients with a seaside massage when they can have an under-the-sea massage?
