Rating: 2.9/5 (17 votes cast)
Set on the Maldivian island of Dhonakulhi, which measures some 23.5 hectres (58 acres), the exclusive Island Hideaway Spa Resort and Marina is magnificence redefined. The entire lagoon, with its glittering emerald waters, is the private domain of its guests; and it's guest villa complexes are the largest of any resort in the Maldives. Still, despite its extensive facilities and services, The Island Hideaway takes up barely five per cent of the island and lagoon, leaving the remaining 95 per cent in its original state, untouched by human hand.Tucked away in the lush foliage of the island or scattered along the pristine beach, the Island Hideaway's majectic chalets each boast jaw-droppingly beautiful panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. At the heart of the exquisite boutique resort in the Hideaway Spa, operated by the internationally acclaimed spa and wellness company, mandara Spa.. Here, design emphasis has been placed on space, privacy and luxury, accompanied by a level of service that pays extraordinary attention to delivering unobstrusive pampering.
Fittingly, its spa menu was created to match its exclusive nature. Combining traditional Asian favourites with Elemis Spa therapy, the treatments reflect the themes of the ocean, nature and indigenous Maldivan traditions. Massages, facial treatments, body wraps, detox treatment and body scrubs were all created using Elemis products combined with natural ingredients such as milk, coconut, seaweed, ginger, salt and clay. These signature treatments soothe, revitalise and invigorate the body, leaving guests basking in a afterglow of serene contentment.

In these villas, the spa comes to you, with the full menu at your service, administered by a dedicated team of spa specialists.

At the end of the day, head to the Hideaway's Matheefaru restaurant to sample true Maldivian cuisine.
