Brand new this month, Drift Spa at Niyama Private Islands Maldives has commenced a special collaboration with Beverly Hills IV Therapy, offering a comprehensive menu of IV formulations for guests wanting to “mainline” their therapies. Drift Spa’s resident medical staff worked with Deborah Alessi, CEO of Beverly Hills IV Therapy, to create a comprehensive menu of original IV therapy formulations, including such options as Detox, Fat Burn, Hydrate, Jet Lag, Anti-Aging, and Vacation Booster. Each formulation was developed to help heal and rejuvenate guests, so that they can fully enjoy Nature’s Playground.

“After 16 hours of travelling to paradise, the last thing you want is to lose days of enjoyment because you are just too exhausted,” explains Deborah. “Guests can spend an hour at the spa getting a manicure and an IV at the start of their stay at Niyama Private Islands Maldives and get all the vitamins they need to strengthen the immune system, clear toxins, and hydrate. It’s the perfect jumpstart for any vacation!”
