Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa

An exquisite island of lush vegetation, surrounded by white-sand beaches and one of the best house reefs in the Maldives – you know you’ve arrived somewhere special at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa.

Here, seclusion is key, with 51 villas thoughtfully scattered across the island, 14 of which serenely float above the azure waves. Many are graced with private pools that merge into the horizon, while all feature high timbered ceilings, spacious indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and inviting decks. And let’s not forget the personal hosts, always ready with a warm smile and intuitive service.

If you’re drawn to the mysteries of the deep blue, you’ll love their PADI 5-Star Dive Centre, the first land-based facility of its kind in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll. Whether you’re an experienced diver or just starting your journey beneath the waves, there are 42 world-class dive sites to choose from, and a spectacular array of marine life to witness. Other alternative excursions include diving in the atoll’s 300-foot-deep lagoon, night snorkelling, dolphin watching, fishing, and even a 54-kilometre trip to the Equator.

Yet, if fine dining and full relaxation are more your idea of paradise, be sure to try the overwater sushi restaurant Koi at The Drift, the Chef’s Garden Treehouse, which serves locally sourced, plant-based dishes amid the treetops, and the Vidhun Spa, offering couples treatments and an intimate onsite yoga studio.
