Four Seasons, Maldives

The Four Seasons Resorts are a famous global institution, and bring their wealth of experience from around the world to their resorts in the Maldives.

The guest experience in the Maldives is particularly impressive due to the two resorts they operate here - Landaa Giraavaru and Kuda Huraa, and some guests choose to split their stays between the two.

Beginning with Landaa Giraavaru, there are 102 thatched beach and water villas on offer, featuring the usual luxuries as well as treats such as plunge pools.

The spa here features a full Ayurvedic treatment, which can bring out any dormant spiritual side you might have.

Cuisine at Landaa Giraavaru is a diverse affair, offering a range of dishes stretching from North Africa to India, as well as some more familiar Italian fare.

Kuda Huraa is closer to the capital, Male, and gives a more village-garden feel. Accommodation here includes water bungalows built on stilts over a lagoon.

The spa here is also top class, and guests can indulge themselves in similar activities too, including diving and a private cruise on the Four Seasons Explorer for up to 7 nights.
