You are cordially invited to embark on a journey……
A journey that will touch every sense of your being, will warm, soothe and balance the mind, and provide a calming sanctuary, far away from your everyday hectic life.
Shui – an oasis of pure indulgence – has opened its doors in December 2007, at the luxury boutique resort The Beach House at Manafaru Maldives.
Location
The Beach House at Manafaru sits at the most northerly tip of the Maldives, in the pristine, lagoon-ringed Haa Alifu Atoll, little explored by foreigners and totally un-polluted by the noise of passing speedboats. What many people don’t know is that the further north you go, the more lush and green the islands become. So while Manafaru is fringed by those exquisite, powder-white beaches for which the Maldives are famous, it also has a jungle-filled interior ripe for exploration.
On touching down at Male International Airport, a Beach House representative will be there to greet you. They will escort you to your domestic transfer, a 45-minute plane-hop over a turquoise Indian Ocean scattered with tiny jewel-like islands, followed by a 45-minute speedboat ride to your private island idyll.
Shui
Let your aches and tensions flow away when entering our sanctuary of harmony and serenity, surrounded only by the music of water.
‘Shui’ stems from the South-East Asian expression for ‘water’ or ‘running water’, embodying our organic, flowing philosophy which is centered on the eternal cycle of water that is all around us – the essence of life itself and the element that links the human body with the natural world.
Shui is an exquisite, luxurious escape, hidden away at the island’s heart in the midst of virgin vegetation. Streams and Waterfalls in abundance provide the calming background music to our oasis of relaxation and the gentle trickling sound of flowing water is the only sound you hear.
Just follow your therapist along the winding bridges and pathways to one of our treatment rooms, specifically designed for the treatment you chose – be it from our wide selection of classical spa treatments, the exclusive Pevonia Botanica offers or one of the Ayurvedic rituals that will transport your mind and body back to ancient India.
Each of the individual treatment rooms offers an outdoor courtyard, rain shower and flower bath in absolute privacy.
For the ultimate spa experience, book into one of the two Grand Beach Pavilions where you can enjoy your choice of spa treatments in your own private spa facilities.
At Shui, we take a holistic approach to health and wellness derived from time tested and traditional treatments, but this approach is powerfully re-invented by coupling it with the latest and most dramatic scientific research results.
