Maldives

Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi has debuted the Maldives’ first aqua wellness center.

Further elevating the luxury wellness experience available to guests, the expansive facilities feature a brand-new hydrotherapy pool and a new menu of water therapy treatments.

The 7,735 square-foot elaborate aqua wellness center features a custom-built hydrotherapy pool, ice fountain, steam room, and sauna.

The 2,906 square-foot outdoor pool is designed in zones, where each station of the pool has been designed to carefully target a different part of the body.

The zones – which include jet bath, air jets, shower jets, and massage lounger – use varying levels of intensity and water temperature that aim to ease muscle tension, boost the immune system, increase blood circulation, speed up metabolism and improve deep sleep quality.
