THE RESIDENCE MALDIVES AT FALHUMAAFUSHI

Just a short flight and a speedboat transfer from civilisation, the Residence at Falhumaafushi promises a pampered paradise away from the stresses of everyday life. Nestled on a remote island in the Gaafu Alifu atoll, one of the largest and deepest on Earth, this exquisite hideaway is postcard perfect where the sky seemingly touches the ocean. Tropical beachfront villas and thatched over-water villas with direct lagoon access boast authentic Maldivian architecture and all the creature comforts of a 5-star stay – some even have their own private pools elevated above the lagoon. Ideal for those with a taste for adventure, much of the activity here is water-based.  Extraordinary multi-coloured coral reefs lie submerged within easy reach, providing the perfect playground for diving enthusiasts. Try your hand at windsurfing or enjoy a romantic kayak or dolphin cruise. Closer to home, a shallow lagoon provides idyllic snorkelling conditions for those who wish to take a dip in between cocktails. 

Why we love it 

Despite its remote location, the Residence at Falhumaafushi still offers plenty to keep you entertained – whether its island hopping, snorkelling safaris or fishing trips you’re after, it strikes the perfect balance between active recreation and relaxation.
