印度洋中的天堂島嶼

希爾頓‧馬爾地夫渡假飯店

隸屬希爾頓集團的馬爾地夫渡假飯店，耗資三千五百萬美金於馬爾地夫的倫里芬湖島嶼，打造出一個印度洋上的海中仙境SPA天堂。這一處海天相連的SPA渡假飯店，藉由著一道長約500公尺極度穿透感的透明人行步橋，可通往至鄰近的倫格里島。跨建在清澈純淨的藍色印度洋中，凝視絢彩繽紛的珊瑚帶，欣賞斑斕鮮麗的熱帶魚群，靜靜地、輕輕地，於足間游動。

除了在商務飯店中的79間海灘別墅外，另有21間獨棟的海上Villa。而每一幢Villa都擁有獨立的美療養生室、愜意舒展露台及日光沐浴躺椅，提供入住賓客最悠靜舒適的絕世享受。SPA中心的設計概念，是依循著四大自然元素：空氣、土壤、火、水為素材，再將其代表的特性，延伸至晝夜時令的交替，例如：清新溫和的氛香，象徵旭日的朝陽；沉靜陰柔的露水，比擬嫣紅的晚霞；而其中的SPA癒療設備，包含有蒸氣箱、桑拿浴、渦輪水療池，以及芳香療癒室……等。

值得一提的是這裡所搭配SPA產品，選用來自法國的權威海洋SPA癒療專家－Thalgo SPA，美麗的3D氧合護理、膠原面膜專業護理、微粒海藻敷體，以及更多豐富的Thalgo專業療程，相襯著四大自然元素的呼應，讓身、心、靈達到全然的休憩與釋放。（Anna Li編譯）

Hilton opens first destination spa in the Maldives

The Hilton Maldives Resort and Spa has opened an over-water destination spa called Spa Retreat on the island of Rangalifinolhu, as part of a US$35m (£19.8m, 28.7m euro) redevelopment of the resort. The resort already features a glass-floored spa on sister island Rangali. The Spa Retreat – which is set on stilts over the Indian Ocean – features 21 Spa Water villas, each with individual treatment rooms, private terraces and sundecks. The spa itself features five private pavilions, each comprising a sauna and steamroom and either a plunge pool or whirl pool; nine treatment rooms which are open to the elements; a relaxation room and an aromatherapy court.
The Spa Retreat’s philosophy is based on the four natural elements of air, earth, fire and water, with each believed to have its characteristic benefits and appropriate time of day. For example, while Air is energising and associated with sunrise, Water represents relaxation and is linked with the afternoon. The treatments available are designed to reflect this philosophy, with uplifting Air treatments including Thai Honey Body Glow and Well Being Indulgence and calming Water rituals involving Spa Village Bathing and Swedish Back and Shoulder Massage.
The spa uses marine-based spa products from French company Thalgo and offers treatments such as the Oxygenating Facial, Pure Collagen Facial and Marine Algae Body Wrap. In addition to the over-water villas, guests can also stay in one of 79 new luxury beach villas or visit the spa from the main hotel.
