The Best Spas in the U.S. & Around the World: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards
"Wake up in a water villa with panoramic views of the turquoise Indian Ocean, then spend the day being pampered in one of nine spa treatment “nests” scattered along the beach and the lush landscape. That’s what guests can expect at Six Senses Laamu on the remote Laamu Atoll in the southern Maldives. The spa offers tailored treatments, many of which are grounded in local ingredients and practices, like the Laamu Kaashi Theyo treatment—a full-body experience that revives and rehydrates thirsty skin with ingredients made from local coconuts; or the 24K Gold Age-defying Facial with mogra, aka “Queen of Jasmines,” and 24k Gold—a combination that’s sure to penetrate a parched complexion. Wellness screenings offer a non-invasive analysis of each guest’s key biomarkers to understand individual needs. Guests can sidle up to the alchemy bar to learn to how to harness the superpower of local herbs and plants, or practice meditation and yoga in an open-air rooftop studio." - CNT Editors
