This is the third year running that Javvu Spa has won, after being crowned as the Indian Ocean's leading Luxury Beauty Spa in 2017, and the Maldives' best Luxury Emerging Spa in 2016.

Setting the basis for service industry standards around the globe, the World Luxury Spa Awards and World Luxury Restaurant Awards pride themselves on providing true recognition to luxury spas and restaurants. Votes are garnered from guests through various marketing channels, showcasing the true value of service excellence. A multitude of factors come in to play; brand, location, overall guest satisfaction from online reviews, services and facilities, design, and even menu offerings whether spa or restaurant.

The Banyan tree-shaded Javvu Spa at Amilla Fushi features 10 treatment pods; a yoga pavilion; fitness centre; a wet area including a no-bookings-required sauna and steam room; a private training studio and the Bodyism Café. Javvu's holistic approach is complemented by an integrated spa menu featuring results-driven treatments from a carefully curated edit of world-class brands; Bodyism wellness and fitness programmes and sessions using both the natural environment and the latest high-tech gym equipment; and ancient healing and energy therapies. Guests can 'go hard', bliss out, or simply soak up the serene vibe at the Wellness Tree Houses by Bodyism.

The award-winning Spa works with select partners to help deliver an undeniably exceptional wellness experience. Each Javvu Spa massage therapist has been trained in the Pure Massage Spa Training Method, created by massage expert, Beata Aleksandrowicz, who provides spas worldwide with advanced training in a modern concept of massage based on Beata's Twelve Principles Of Massage. The Spa's ila Body Treatments and QMS Medicosmetics have been carefully selected for their unique blend of natural healing ingredients that leave the skin and body feeling refreshed and revitalised after every treatment.

Blissful pampering can also be enjoyed at the resorts Nail Salon, Hair & Beauty Lounge and Barber using the very best premium products for the perfect finishing touches; from Margaret Dabbs' world-class hand and foot treatments that reverse age and promote silkiness or Louise Galvin's steam-infused conditioning to slick and sophisticated styling with Gentlemen's Tonic.
