Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

Gently rising from a sheet of turquoise, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa ticks all the boxes of a fantasy island – rooms with private pools either over the lagoon or with direct beach access, great diving and snorkelling, plus private dining in romantic locations.

Varying in style and size, the pavilions, bungalows, suites, family accommodations and water villas all boast outdoor living areas and their own pool. Private and romantic with meticulous attention to detail, the facilities and services are typical of the high standards one would expect from Four Seasons. Savour fine Indian cuisine, indulge in the tastes of contemporary Italy or feast on a selection of Asian delicacies, all complemented by a cellar of handpicked fine wines. Escape to the resort’s spa, housed on its own island accessed by an authentic dhoni boat, featuring over water treatment rooms offering marine-inspired therapies with stunning ocean vistas. For the ultimate indulgence, head to the Night Spa for a ‘Secrets of the Sea’ ritual on a private star lit beach.

There is also a surf school with Tropicsurf coaches guiding guests as young as six from their first wave to world-class breaks, while a PADI 5-star IDC Centre promises exceptional standards and access to more than 30 dive sites within a 10 to 40 minute sail. Shark safaris, cookery classes, Sunset Lounge and Secret Beach all complement the laid-back luxury vibe of this resort.
