Just beyond the turquoise horizon of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, a resort known for its village charm, vibrant coral gardens, and authentic island soul, lies a world where time softens and stillness takes the shape of The Island Spa. Reached by a gentle two-minute sail across the lagoon, this secluded sanctuary feels almost dreamlike, suspended between sea and sky. Here, the rhythm of the waves sets the pace, the scent of the ocean mingles with warm island air, and every element from the open pavilions to the play of sunlight on water invites guests to rediscover balance in its purest form.

An Island Within an Island

Thatched-roof treatment pavilions sit gracefully above wooden decks, their louvred walls and open sliding doors inviting in the sea breeze. Beneath each massage bed, a glass portal reveals the shimmering coral gardens below a gentle reminder of the harmony between nature and wellbeing. The spa features seven treatment rooms, each surrounded by lush tropical greenery, with private garden courtyards and open-air showers that blur the lines between indoors and out. Guests arrive via a short boat ride, a symbolic crossing from the everyday to a world of calm. Every architectural detail here has been considered: geometric lines play with natural light, and the soft tones of wood and thatch stand in contrast to the vivid blues of the sea. The result is a space that feels both grounded and ethereal, a true expression of island serenity.

Guided by Nature: Dr. Anand Prayaga (Director of The Island Spa and Naturopathy Physician)

Leading The Island Spa is Dr. Anand Prayaga, whose philosophy centers on treating the root cause of imbalance rather than the symptoms. A firm believer in the body’s innate ability to heal itself, Dr. Anand draws from naturopathy, combining gentle detox practices, stress management techniques, mindful movement, and the use of food as medicine.

“My vision is to create a sanctuary where body and mind heal together in harmony. Through therapeutic treatments and mindful practices, guests will have the opportunity to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level leaving them not just relaxed, but renewed and inspired to continue their wellness journey beyond the spa,” he says.

Signature Experiences

The spa’s signature experience, Enchanted Reef – A Journey to Serenity, is a two-day immersion designed to align body, mind, and spirit. Each treatment draws inspiration from the ocean, guiding guests through a holistic process of deep relaxation and inner balance. Another transformative highlight, The Healing Tent Ritual, takes place within a 5.5-metre (18-foot) cocooning space designed for intimate connection with nature and self. This powerful ritual blends Reiki, sound healing, guided breathwork, and ice bath therapy for a complete sense of rejuvenation.

Wellness Under the Stars

As evening falls, guests can experience The Night Spa, now set on a treetop terrace, steps closer to the stars. Surrounded by moonlit palms and the sound of waves, this unique setting features double massage tables, a crystal singing bowl, and a circular bath a perfect union of luxury and tranquility. Starlit rituals invite guests to return to self, quieting the mind and restoring balance through the soothing energy of the night sky.
