(IN SHORT) Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has launched the Maldives’ first magnesium-based spa treatments, developed in partnership with wellness brand “Of The Islands.” Drawing on magnesium chloride sourced from deep beneath the Netherlands, these innovative therapies deliver powerful benefits such as improved sleep, muscle recovery, and nervous system support through transdermal application. The new offerings include massages, scrubs, facials, and soaking rituals, each designed for holistic healing and deep relaxation. Set within the resort’s tranquil overwater spa, the treatments represent a new chapter in wellness that integrates science, nature, and emotional restoration.

(PRESS RELEASE) BANGKOK, 2025-Jun-9 — /Travel PR News/ — Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in holistic wellness by launching the Maldives’ first-ever magnesium-based spa treatments. Introduced in collaboration with “Of The Islands,” a trailblazing wellness brand harnessing the power of pure magnesium chloride sourced 1,500 metres beneath the Netherlands, this transformative offering brings together nature, science, and emotional reconnection in a deeply immersive healing experience.

Far beyond traditional relaxation-based therapies, these innovative treatments nourish the body at a cellular level. Magnesium plays a critical role in over 300 biological functions — from enhancing muscle recovery and heart health to regulating sleep and the nervous system. While oral supplements offer only limited absorption, Anantara Kihavah’s new transdermal magnesium approach delivers this essential mineral directly through the skin, maximizing its impact through massage, scrubs, and soaking rituals.

The new magnesium-focused menu includes five curated treatments designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s health-conscious travelers. Highlights include a comprehensive full-body massage to enhance immunity and relieve physical tension, a 90-minute ritual featuring a magnesium scrub and massage with magnesium-infused butter, and a calming magnesium salt bath ideal for those seeking mental stillness. Additional offerings include a facial-integrated holistic ritual and an energizing combination of coffee-magnesium scrub followed by a gel massage.

“With this collaboration, we’re proud to elevate wellness to a new level at Kihavah,” said Ratheesh Parambil, Director of Spa & Wellness at Anantara Kihavah. “This marks the beginning of a new wellness era for us, where magnesium therapies enrich our offering and reflect our commitment to delivering science-backed, nature-powered, results-oriented wellbeing solutions for our guests.”

These treatments are especially beneficial for travelers recovering from long-haul flights, athletes in post-performance recovery, or guests combating the effects of a high-stress lifestyle. Offering more than just soothing scents or surface relaxation, magnesium emerges as the central element in Anantara Kihavah’s next-generation wellness philosophy.

Set above the shimmering Indian Ocean, Anantara Kihavah’s overwater spa features six tranquil treatment rooms, offering the perfect environment for deep restoration. With the introduction of these pioneering therapies, Anantara Kihavah once again raises the bar in luxury wellness, inviting guests to reconnect with their inner selves in one of the world’s most serene island settings.
