Four Seasons Resorts, Maldives

Choose from two Four Season Resorts in the Maldives.

Four Seasons, Kuda Huraa

There are hundreds of reasons, to choose the Four Seasons Hotel in the Maldives. The first one is Kuda Haraa.

Kuda Haraa is a bewitching island; picturesque in the extreme and made even more entrancing by a remarkable Maldives hotel.

The Four Seasons Hotel is the perfect escape route. It features just over 100 guest rooms with either their feet in the sand, or their legs in the topaz waters of Kuda Haraa’s unspoilt shoreline.

The beach bungalows are generously-sized and well appointed. They have ‘natural’ al fresco showers and their own plunge or swimming pools. The water bungalows and villas are similarly luxurious, but stand on stilts reaching out into the sea itself. Large patios and modern wizardry like satellite TVs and entertainment centres are standard throughout.

Speaking of entertainment. This Four Seasons Hotel in the Maldives offers a simply huge drop-edge swimming pool with swim-to bar. Its sundeck and next-door beach are shrines for sun-worshippers. There are three restaurants, nightly entertainment and 24 hour room service. The private island spa that specialises in pampering guests of the Maldives hotel, plus a health club and water sports centre with PADI dive school.

And, as if there wasn’t enough to do on Kuda Haraa at this exceptional hotel, the Four Seasons Explorer – an 11 berth catamaran – will take guests island-hopping on three, four or seven night cruises.

Even so, they’re unlikely to find a more appealing hotel in the Maldives.

Four Seasons, Landaa Giraavaru, Maldives

This Four Seasons Hotel in the Maldives may be far flung, but it abounds with decidedly closer-to-home luxuries and amenities.

The Four Seasons Hotel in the Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is definitely far flung; the sort of place guests will travel to the ends of the Earth to discover.

The island of Landaa Giraavaru is an emerald gem cast into the sapphire seas surrounding the undeveloped, unspoilt Baa Atoll. The Four Seasons Hotel is another jewel. It occupies the entire 18 acres of Landaa Giraavaru island and offers three swimming pools and just over 100 water villas and beach bungalows.

The water villas are built in the traditional style not found anywhere but in hotels in the Maldives. The beach bungalows all have plunge pools, living and dining pavilions that give way to private beachfront gardens, and sleeping pavilions with large bathrooms featuring overflowing baths and outdoor showers. The grander bungalows even have 12-metre lap pools and sand-floored, outdoor living and dining pavilions.

This Four Seasons Hotel also has its own ‘dining pavilions’; three restaurants serving Lebanese, Asian and international cuisine – complemented by beach picnics, in-villa dining and private, candlelit dinners on secluded sand banks.

The beach is also the venue for water sports, the PADI dive centre, Ayurvedic Retreat, spa and kids club.

Proving that, at this Four Seasons Hotel, life is a beach.
