Veli Spa Offers A New Destination Treatment - Spa Under The Stars
For Immediate Release
19 December 2012
Kurumba Maldives Veli Spa has announced a new destination spa
treatment for couples called Spa Under The Stars.
Key elements of the Maldives have been used in developing this
inspired treatment. A unique bathing ritual with a local Maldivian
Sarong called a Feyli is used whilst watching the sun set over the
Indian Ocean. This is followed by a unique cowrie shell massage
using local hand pressed Coconut oil. The cowrie shell is historic
in the Maldives as prior to tourism, the main export earners were
fishing and the trade of cowrie shells.
The coconut oil is purchased from a local Island named
Fuvahmulah, located in the Nyaviyani Atoll and is made by both
local men and women. The women play the important role in
cooking the oil, while the men collect the firewood and coconuts
required. There are numerous ways practiced to make virgin oil,
but the most vigilant is to extract a large scale from over-riped,
dried coconut kernel (copra), the kernel is separated from the
shell when the water inside has dried. To extract the oil, the copra
is sundried or grated/grinded and boiled in water at a certain
temperature to satin the formula. The formula is purely natural, no
machines are used to make the oil and no trees are cut down.
The treatment is completed with the modern touches of
champagne & chocolate dipped fruits served to compliment the
journey while enjoying the stars on your own lazy bean bag on the
beach.
Sales and Marketing Manager Leah Haguisan stated “this new
treatment highlights the ongoing commitment by Kurumba to offer
its guests an inspiring and a complete Maldivian experience. Our
team is always looking at ways to seek historic Maldivian
traditions and use within our experience. The concept of the resort
provides our guests with a choice of enriching experiences that
allow a renewed appreciation of life”
