  • Pool Bar — Bar

    Royal Island's swim-up Pool Bar features submerged seating beneath a traditional palm-thatched roof, serving ice-cold beers, freshly pressed juices, and custom cocktails from 10am to 6pm — the ideal spot to refresh without stepping out of the water.

  • Boli Bar — Bar

Wellness

  • Araamu Spa — Secluded inner-jungle pavilion, Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere

    Araamu Spa hides deep within the secluded inner jungle of Royal Island, a private pavilion set inside Baa Atoll's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where the day slows from hours to moods. The focus here is Indian Ayurvedic healing — warm herbalised oils, meridian bodywork and the Shirodhara ritual guide the body back to balance. The signature Back to Roots journey layers a purifying cucumber shot, a coconut-milk foot ritual, a smudging ceremony with medicine leaves, bamboo-fusion massage and a herbal vitality bath into one grounding rite. Classic body and face treatments and natural beauty care round out a menu built around reconnecting with the island's wild greenery.
