March 2014:  The first and only Spa by Clarins in the Maldivian archipelago, at The Residence Maldives – a member of The Leading Hotel of the World, has launched a new, exclusive Clarins treatment for Spring travellers to this remote southern atoll.

The Spa, which sits 200m out to sea surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters, is now offering ‘Sea Serenity’ - a calming treatment that uses a warm, relaxing blend of plant extracts, honey and essential oils to relax muscles and create a feeling of inner peace and tranquillity. Tomato seed oil, rosemary and graveolens flower oil, known for their soothing properties, are combined with the uplifting aromas of bitter orange and geranium and are delicately applied to the body during this mesmeric massage experience.

The treatment goes beyond relaxation, using massage techniques specially designed by Clarins to increase the level of oxygen in the blood, decrease muscle toxins and to improve circulation and flexibility. This is done by targeting specific pressure points using the fingers and palms as well as firm kneading to loosen and stretch the muscles. 

Sea Serenity also includes a facial using gentle massage and exfoliation to reveal healthier, brighter and younger-looking skin. The world-renowned Clarins products are designed to help reduce skin discomfort and prevent future sensitivity. Each facial also uses effective hydrating products to strengthen the skin’s barrier function, restore any lost glow and result in a smooth and silky skin texture.
*90 minutes. USD190 (for one), USD360 (for two).
