Travelers seeking ultimate relaxation should book a spa treatment (or a few) while visiting the Maldives. Many of the resorts in the Maldives offer their own spa on-site and use island-sourced ingredients in their treatments, such as papaya, seaweed and pineapple. Services range from typical massages and facials to signature options like citrus hydrating body treatments and customized acupuncture and chakra balancing. The Maldives is also home to the first underwater spa in the world, Huvafen Spa. What's more, several resorts host yoga classes that complement the spa relaxation and wellness offerings.

For additional information on spa treatments, visit the individual resort or spa website. The Maldives tourism board offers some spa tips and information on its website as well. Keep in mind, as with many things in the Maldives, spa services will cost a pretty penny.
