If you’re planning a trip to the Maldives, there’s indulgence—and then there’s transcendence. And few places deliver both like the Spa by Clarins at The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah. Suspended over the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean, this is not just a spa—it’s a journey for the senses, a place where time slows down and serenity takes over.

Tucked away in the remote Gaafu Alifu Atoll, a scenic flight and speedboat ride away from Malé, the Residence Maldives Dhigurah redefines “getting away from it all.” As you arrive, the spa appears like a dream—six overwater pavilions stretching elegantly into the lagoon, where your only neighbours are tropical fish and the whisper of the sea breeze.

With this being the only Clarins Spa in the Maldives, every treatment here combines high-performance plant-based formulas with techniques honed in Clarins’ Parisian heritage. It’s where French luxury meets island tranquility.

From the moment you step in, aromas of lemongrass, coconut oil, and ylang-ylang infuse the air. You’re offered a chilled towel and herbal tea, and then you’re guided to your treatment room—complete with a glass floor where you can watch marine life drift beneath you during your massage.

Signature Experiences You’ll Dream About

Travellers don’t just want to relax—they want to feel transformed. And that’s exactly what the Spa by Clarins offers with its curated experiences:

• Essence of the Residence – A true Maldivian escape. It begins with a coconut body scrub using local ingredients, followed by a warm herbal compress massage. It ends with a scalp massage using pure island coconut oil. You’ll leave glowing—literally and spiritually.

• Soul Ritual – Rooted in ancient Ayurveda, this treatment features Shirodhara, where warm oil streams gently onto your forehead, unlocking a deep meditative state. It’s perfect for jetlagged travelers seeking mental clarity.

• Balance – A massage using self-heating lava shells and bamboo sticks to dissolve deep-seated tension. It’s a favourite among adventurous travellers and divers who’ve spent long days exploring the reefs.

• Sea Serenity – The ultimate full-body + facial combo, using Clarins products that detoxify, hydrate, and leave your skin utterly renewed. Pair it with a sunset slot and thank yourself later.

• Ocean Yoga, Floating Meditation & Wellness That Moves With You

This isn’t a place where wellness is confined to four walls. Picture this: sunrise yoga on an open-air deck over the sea, the sky slowly shifting from lilac to gold. Or floating meditation at dusk, where the water gently cradles you into bliss.

Want to keep your wellness going? The spa offers personalised wellness journeys—blending treatments with outdoor activities like paddleboard yoga, beach runs, or even sandbank meditations. It’s all about finding balance in motion.

For Solo Travellers, Couples, and the Curious

Whether you’re a honeymooning couple, a solo traveller seeking solitude, or someone curious about island rituals, the spa adapts to your vibe. Couples can indulge in side-by-side massages in overwater suites, while solo guests can embrace peaceful, undisturbed solitude with nature as their companion.

The spa also regularly hosts international visiting wellness masters—from reiki practitioners to sound bath healers—offering sessions that are as rare as the coral reefs surrounding the island.
