Wellness discovery at Kurumba
Kurumba Maldives’ Veli Spa was the first to use Dhivehi Beys treatments in the Maldives. These have been formulated with traditional medical Herbalists and are an art form that could have quite easily been lost in the rapid changes of the Maldives. The pastes and oils are unique, enriching and are a true Maldivian therapy. Over the centuries, the Maldives has been visited by countless traders from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. Healing remedies and secrets from Indians, Persians, Malaysians, Sri Lankans and Chinese were acquired, synthesized and then used to develop local herbal remedies. These remedies were passed from one generation to the next by local medicine men and women to become the traditional medicines that Maldivian islanders rely on to this day.
These treatments were inspired by a traditional Maldivian medicine practitioner and are combined with modern techniques. The blends are made on the resort with many of the herbs and ingredients grown on Kurumba.
