Chavana spa has entered into a new agreement to operate a spa facility at PearlSands at Huraa, located in North Male Atoll, Maldives. Operations commenced at the end of 2016, with a full brand conversion anticipated to be complete by mid-2017.

The Chavana brand is owned by Steiner Leisure's Mandara Spa, and the concept is aimed at four- and five-star hotels and resorts. It is intended to allow guests to enjoy a quality spa experience at a reasonable price. The spa will offer a range of signature body treatments, facials and packages inspired by the Balinese garden and the healing nature of touch, with a range of therapies from skincare brand Elemis also on the horizon for 2017.

Trent Munday, senior vice president - International, Mandara Spa, said: “We are looking forward to our new association with PearlSands of Maldives, under which we anticipate bringing our exceptional spa services to our guests. This opening will be our 11th Chavana location since launching the brand.”

Located only 25 minutes from the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, PearlSands at Huraa is easily accessible via speedboat. The 4-star property offers 32 rooms and is located on the north end of Huraa Island.
