Nuts for oil in the Maldives

THIS April, the Navasana Spa at Outrigger Konotta #Maldives Resort celebrates one year of producing its own coconut oil on the island. The coconut oil is all-natural 100% pure, made by the spa’s therapists who hand press it from the naturally fallen mature coconuts around the island.

It takes approximately 50 mature, fallen coconuts to make 2.5 litres of pure coconut oil. Over the last year, the staff has perfected the process which involves gathering, dehusking and shredding the coconuts. They then squeeze the milk-juice from the grated coconut and discard the residue.

The spa staff then chill the coconut milk overnight or until it sets. The top solid layer is gently removed, cooked on constant heat, stirring until the oil separates and is clear. It is then bottled. It’s a two-day process.

A truly unspoiled paradise, it’s “your own private world,” surrounded by pristine natural beauty and unmatched luxury. Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort is on a private island in the azure Indian Ocean, the resort features spacious stunning villas, all with private pools. Guests can enjoy a range of activities including, innovative dining experiences, rejuvenating spa treatments, and world-class water sports and scuba diving at their Reef Centre.
