Fushi offers a choice of 59 island homes and eight beach<br />
residences nestled among lush tree tops, flanked by the warm<br />
waves of the Indian Ocean. An exclusive collaboration between<br />
this luxury Maldives resort and global healthy living phenomenon<br />

Wellness Treehouse by Bodyism. Imagine one-bedroom ‘spa<br />
nests’ with dedicated treatment suites, high in the treetops<br />
where guests can enjoy a unique wellness experience by the<br />
Specialists. Guests can form their own program from the Javvu<br />
Spa treatments and several Bodyism classes, all aimed to<br />
