CHI Spa -
CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La draws
inspiration from the origins of the Shangri-La legend, a place of
personal peace, enchantment and well-being.
This secluded sanctuary is
located in its own spa village within the resort, with spacious
individual treatment villas offering "spa-within-a-spa"
environments. There is also a unique yoga pavilion overlooking
the Indian Ocean, and individual treatment villas with private
gardens and steam rooms, a changing room and a shower. The spa
menu offers a selection of Asian massages and Indian Ayurvedic
treatments, alongside locally inspired treatments and specific
well-being programmes.
In traditional Chinese
philosophy, "chi" or "Qi" is the universal life
force that governs well-being and personal vitality. For people
to maintain good health, it is believed that "chi" must
flow freely within the body and, when blocked, "dis-ease" and
illness follow. Movement is therefore a key element in releasing
blockages. Body massage, exercise, stretching, hydrotherapy, and
movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to
assist the body's natural renewal and form the basis of the CHI
spa philosophy.
- Exploring Nature -
The natural, dense vegetation of the
island sets it apart from many other Maldives resorts. The three-kilometre-long
island has 12 hectares of lush foliage, towering banyan trees,
17,000 coconut trees, 45 species of plants, three natural lagoons

residents.
