Just beyond the turquoise horizon of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, a resort renowned for its village charm, vibrant coral gardens, and authentic island spirit, lies a world where time softens and stillness takes the form 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 the warm island air, and every element, from the open pavilions to the play of sunlight on the 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, serving as 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. The designers thoughtfully considered every architectural detail here: geometric lines interact with natural light, while the soft tones of wood and thatch create a striking contrast against the deep 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 centres on treating the root cause of imbalance rather than its 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 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, creating a perfect union of luxury and tranquillity. Starlit rituals invite guests to reconnect with themselves, quieting the mind and restoring balance through the soothing energy of the night sky.

Wellness for Every Guest
At Kuda Huraa, wellness extends far beyond the treatment table. Guests can explore a full spectrum of offerings designed to nurture both body and spirit:
●AntiGravity Yoga – Experience the joy of flying as you move through suspended poses in a silk hammock, improving balance, flexibility, and alignment.
●HydraFacial Treatments – Personalised, non-invasive facials that target individual skin concerns using the latest mineral cosmetic innovations.
●Massages & Body Treatments – A selection of healing massages, body scrubs, and masks inspired by oceanic elements and ancient Maldivian traditions.

●Kuda Spa for Kids – Gentle, fun treatments for younger guests, creating joyful family moments of calm.
●Salon Services – Haircare, manicures, and pedicures to complete the wellness experience.
●After-Hours Spa – Begin a treatment after 8:00 pm and ease into a state of deep oceanic restfulness.
●Treatment Boosters – Add 30-minute enhancements to any therapy for an extra layer of bliss

Each offering reflects the spa’s belief that wellness is not a luxury, but a way of being accessible, intentional, and deeply personal.

The Art of Stillness
To step onto The Island Spa is to step into a different rhythm, one defined by simplicity, nature, and self-connection. Every sound, scent, and texture here invites you to journey inward, leading you to a sense of stillness that feels effortless and authentic. At Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, wellness isn’t an indulgence; it’s a way of life. From sunrise yoga to starlit rituals, the journey towards balance begins the moment you set sail across the lagoon and stays with you long after you return home.
