Your Sussex Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 86)

RELAX IN PARADISE The five-star Kagi Maldives Spa Island will launch in the Maldives’ North Male Atoll in September 2020. The 50-villa property promises to provide a wellness experience like no other, and all just a 15-minute seaplane or 60-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. At the heart of the island will sit the 1,500-square- metre Baani Spa and wellness hub, along with a state-of-the-art gym, a dive centre and a house reef. Honeymooners can find total relaxation with a range of wellness offerings from reiki and crystal-healing to holistic health coaching and yoga. There will be two restaurants and three bars, and the resort’s fusion cuisine will take inspiration from the Maldives’ surrounding countries – from the highly fragranced food of South East Asia to the fiery flavours of South America and Oceania.
