The Spa by Thalgo at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi (Malé, Maldives), part of Sun Siyam’s Luxury Collection, recently unveiled a new Longevity Program designed to support healthy aging, deep relaxation, physical recovery, and holistic wellness. Drawing on centuries of Ayurvedic science, traditional Maldivian healing practices, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the program offers guests multi-day curated packages, transformative wellness days, and daily fitness classes.
The Purification Spa Day begins with early-morning meditation, pranayama, and yoga postures before moving through a curated sequence of treatments, including a steam bath, detox body scrub, Marma Massage, and a 90-minute Shirodhara session. An evening yoga class and ceremonial bath bring the day to a close. Throughout the day, guests follow a purification diet designed to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins and restore its natural vitality.
For Preventive Care, Swaasthya Rakshanam revives nine ancient Ayurvedic rituals honoring the belief that protecting health is as important as restoring it. Designed to cleanse and restore the body's sensory organs, the experience guides guests through therapies including Nasya (nasal purging), Gandusha (oral fluid holding), Dhumrapana (medicated fume inhalation), Abhyanga (herbal oil massage), Shiro Taila Dharana (scalp oiling), Lepana (herbal paste application), Snana (purifying herbal shower), Anjana (eyelid cleansing), and Sugandha Dharana (aromatic spice chewing).
Guests can also experience these treatments in multi-day packages, each beginning with a personal consultation with a resident Ayurvedic doctor:
- Three-Day Rasayana Package guides guests through foundational treatments including Abhyanga, a full-body herbal oil massage; Kizhi or Njavara Kizhi, a bolus therapy that nourishes deep tissues; and Shirodhara or Ksheera Dhara, a continuous warm oil stream applied to the forehead to induce profound mental calm.
- Seven-Day Rasayana Package expands the journey with Udvarthanam (an invigorating herbal powder exfoliation with steam), Marma Massage (targeting vital energy points), and Pizhichil (a royal therapy in which warm medicated oil is poured continuously over the body). The deeply restorative progression nourishes cells and tissues, strengthens immunity, and creates harmony between body, mind, and soul.
- Fourteen-Day Rasayana Package is fully customized by the Ayurvedic doctor following consultation, providing a bespoke healing journey tailored to each guest's individual constitution and wellness goals.
The Longevity Program is supported by a robust schedule of daily wellness classes, including Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Pilates, Guided Beach Jogging, Lagoon Aerobics, Stretch & Strength Training, and Cardio Fitness Training. All classes are conducted with an emphasis on mindfulness and inner awareness, cultivating improved concentration, discipline, creativity, and sustained wellbeing.
