One&Only Reethi Rah, the private all-villa island resort, has brought an elevated skincare experience to its guests by partnering with world-renowned beauty brand Augustinus Bader. As a result, the resort now offers signature treatments from the cult-favorite skincare line at its award-winning spa.
Jan B. Tibaldi, General Manager of One&Only Reethi Rah, shared his excitement about the new collaboration. He described it as a significant step forward for the resort’s wellness offerings, saying
“We are thrilled to welcome a world-class beauty partner like Augustinus Bader with its cult following and unparalleled scientific expertise. This collaboration is set to offer our guests special access to the game-changing technology of Augustinus Bader’s formulas while on holiday, elevating their holistic wellness experience at our resort.”
The One&Only Spa, nestled in a peaceful garden oasis, recently earned a 5-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide—making it the first spa in the Maldives to achieve this recognition. The spa blends time-honored rituals with advanced wellness techniques, and now adds science-backed skincare from Augustinus Bader to its offerings.
Professor Augustinus Bader, a German scientist and global leader in regenerative medicine and stem cell biology, founded the skincare brand. His pioneering research in skin trauma inspired the Augustinus Bader product line, which has attracted a loyal global following that includes celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell, and Jennifer Aniston.
The brand developed its proprietary technology, TFC8® (Trigger Factor Complex 8), after more than 30 years of scientific research. The formula combines natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and peptides found in the body. Clinical trials and consumer studies have consistently shown that the technology enhances skin health, improves firmness, and boosts radiance. As a result, the skincare world continues to praise its effectiveness.
The One&Only Spa now features two facial treatments powered by this technology. The 60-minute Bespoke Facial refreshes and revitalizes the skin, while the 75-minute Advanced Facial delivers deep nourishment and a long-lasting healthy glow. Together, these treatments offer an exceptional skincare experience tailored to various needs.
Maldivian Expertise Leads the Way
Aishath Zulfishan—known as Xubba—leads the rollout of this collaboration as the newly appointed Director of Spa. With more than 18 years of experience and a strong background in Maldivian wellness traditions, she blends local cultural knowledge with cutting-edge skincare science. Her approach brings authenticity and innovation to the spa’s wellness journey.
The One&Only Spa offers guests a complete wellness escape, including watsu therapy, Maldivian rituals, and customized treatments. Therapists design personalized programs that integrate spa services, fitness routines, and nutritional guidance to support long-term wellbeing. Guests can also enjoy top-tier beauty and grooming services, including the Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez and the exclusive Barber&Blade™ grooming lounge for men.
With its commitment to blending tradition, innovation, and luxury, One&Only Reethi Rah continues to redefine the wellness experience. Through this new partnership with Augustinus Bader, the resort not only raises the bar for skincare in the Maldives but also offers guests a transformative journey that feels as rejuvenating as the island itself.
