Building on Amilla Maldives’ recognition in the Forbes Travel Guide 2025 Star Awards, the eco-conscious resort’s Javvu Spa is celebrating its own distinct honour in this prestigious global listing.
Nestled within the island’s lush jungle and bordered by the Indian Ocean, Javvu Spa offers a peaceful retreat where modern wellness gently blends with nature’s rhythms. Guests can indulge in wellness treatments that seamlessly interweave Eastern and Western therapies, crowned with a taste of Dhivehi Beys – authentic Maldivian herbal treatments sourced from Amilla’s own gardens and jungle.
Complementing its holistic approach, Javvu Spa regularly hosts residencies by renowned visiting practitioners, and in December 2024, announced a new partnership with renowned British skincare brand, AMRA. The collaboration saw carefully curated AMRA products incorporated into selected Javvu Spa signature treatments including The Amilla Signature Journey by AMRA and AMRA Olfactory Sound Bath Experience.
As the global standard-setter for hospitality excellence, Forbes Travel Guide conducts anonymous inspections based on hundreds of rigorous criteria, placing strong emphasis on genuine service and the overall guest experience. The Four-Star distinction is a heartfelt acknowledgement of the spa team’s dedication and Amilla’s ongoing focus on personalised, intuitive care for the wellbeing of its guests.
This honour follows Amilla Maldives’ own recognition in the Forbes Travel Guide 2025 Star Awards, positioning the resort as one of a select group of destinations worldwide to be acknowledged for both its resort and spa. The dual recognition reflects a thoughtful commitment to excellence across the guest experience, from island living to holistic wellness. Earlier this year, the resort also became one of just five Maldivian resorts to be included in Forbes Travel Guide’s VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality 2025 programme.
