Spa operator Steiner Leisure has launched a new Chavana Spa at the remote Adaaran Prestige Vadoo resort in the Maldives.

Surrounded by the dazzling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the Adaaran-operated island resort features 50 water villas and is accessible by speedboat.

The new Chavana Spa is situated over two floors; featuring a welcoming reception and retail area, two double treatment rooms, two single treatment rooms and an open-air terrace for relaxation. The spa’s range of signature body treatments, facials and packages are said to be “inspired by the freshness of a Balinese garden”. The spa plans to introduce products and therapies from Elemis (which is also owned by Steiner) early next year.

Chavana is the four-star sister brand to Steiner’s Mandara offering and aims to provide “a quality spa experience at a reasonable price.” The latest spa is the third Chavana location to open in the Maldives in the past 18 months, following launches at the Cinnamon Hotels-operated Chaaya Reef Ellaidhoo, as well as at the surfing-themed Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi.

“We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Adaaran Resorts in the Maldives, and to continue providing exceptional spa services to our guests”, said Jeff Mathews, president and chief operating officer of Mandara Spa Asia.

The opening caps an eventful few weeks for Steiner Leisure. The company recently signed a definitive merger agreement with private equity firm Catterton – a deal worth approximately US$925m (€799m, £599m). Leonard Fluxman, president and CEO of Steiner, said the deal would allow “greater flexibility to focus on long-term business initiatives.”
