A fresh wave of wellness has arrived in the Maldives. Atmosphere Kanifushi, a luxury resort in the Lhaviyani Atoll, has just opened a family friendly spa in the Maldives called Essens Spa, a new sanctuary focused on relaxation, rejuvenation, and holistic healing for adults, teens, and children alike.
Ram Bhoyroo, General Manager of Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives, shared his excitement about the new partnership:
“We are thrilled to partner with Essens Spa to enhance the wellness experience for our guests. Essens Spa brings together family-friendly treatments, modern techniques, and the timeless beauty of Maldivian wellness, offering something for everyone—from adults seeking relaxation to teens and children discovering the joys of wellbeing.”
Essens Spa sits peacefully on Kanifushi Island, surrounded by white sandy beaches and lush tropical greenery. The spa brings together the timeless essence of Maldivian wellness with modern techniques to create a well-rounded experience for the entire family
A Spa for Every Generation
Essens Spa truly offers something special for guests of all ages. Whether you’re a parent seeking deep relaxation, a teen starting to care for your skin, or a child experiencing wellness for the first time, this family friendly spa in the Maldives creates a peaceful escape designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul.
The spa thoughtfully welcomes younger visitors with treatments tailored just for them. Kids can enjoy playful and gentle sessions made to spark their curiosity and joy, while teens benefit from wellness experiences designed to support their growing bodies, sensitive skin, and emotional wellbeing.
By blending care for the whole family with a serene environment, Essens Spa ensures everyone can find their own path to relaxation and renewal.
Leading-Edge Skincare with a Maldivian Touch
At the heart of it all, Essens Spa offers a full wellness menu that includes:
- Signature spa journeys using locally sourced Maldivian ingredients
- Yoga and detox sessions
- Healing rituals inspired by local traditions
- Salon services for hair, scalp, and beauty care
To start things off, one of the standout experiences is the Essens Spa Journey, a 150-minute treatment that begins with a coconut scrub and ends in a soothing coconut milk bath. In between, guests enjoy a full-body massage and a traditional haircare ritual. Each step uses natural ingredients and techniques that leave guests feeling refreshed and renewed.
What’s more, Essens Spa is the only spa in the Maldives’ premium segment offering ELEMIS BIOTEC facials. These treatments combine science and skincare through ultrasonic peels, microcurrent sculpting, and LED light therapy. As a result, they bring a new level of precision and luxury to the resort’s wellness experience.
In addition to facials, guests can unwind with Ayurvedic rituals, couples’ massages, and salon treatments that include styling, haircuts, and nourishing therapies. The Healing Touch Massage, which uses warm compresses made from Maldivian sand, provides a deeply grounding and restorative effect.
A Deeply Rooted Wellness Philosophy
At its core, Essens Spa follows a simple yet meaningful mission: deliver world-class wellness infused with authentic Maldivian hospitality. Every treatment reflects care, connection, and a genuine respect for local tradition.
More than anything, the spa offers more than just a place to relax. It invites guests to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and the healing power of nature. It offers a new level of beauty, balance, and wellbeing in the heart of the Maldives.
