The Standard Maldives HURUVALHI ISLAND, MALDIVES
Step off the plane and sail into a world where laid-back luxury intertwines with vibrant self- expression. Just a 35-minute seaplane ride from Malé, The Standard Maldives awaits on Huruvalhi Island, inviting you to experience an island retreat unlike any other. Each of the resort’s 115 villas, whether perched
over turquoise waters or nestled along sunlit beaches, comes with a private plunge pool and lounge deck, offering your own sanctuary of calm. These villas embody The Standard’s signature flair. Inside, open-air bathrooms feature disco balls and oversized tubs, while bright accents and playful touches create joy at every glance. The adventure begins just steps from the shore.
The island’s house reef is home to more than 200 species of fish and 98 species of coral, making snorkelling an unforgettable highlight. Guests can also go scuba diving, paddleboarding, jet-skiing or spot manta rays at Hanifaru Bay during the season. Those seeking a gentler pace can sail on sunset cruises or join guided excursions that showcase the beauty of Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Balance the excitement with wellness at
The Standard Spa, a serene haven featuring a communal hammam, aromatic steam room, daily yoga classes and nine treatment rooms. The space is enriched with art, including the Nest of the Rising Sun mural by Rostarr. Here, ancient healing traditions meet modern techniques. Culinary experiences are equally memorable.
Kula offers global flavours all day, Guduguda celebrates authentic Maldivian cuisine and BBQ Shak delivers beachfront feasts under the stars. For nightlife and dining, Beru Bar is perched over the lagoon, combining its role as the island’s vibrant bar with an izakaya restaurant. With glass floors, crafted cocktails, live music and Japanese-inspired dishes, it’s the perfect setting to indulge. Beyond the villas and restaurants, life at The
Standard Maldives is shaped by a lively weekly schedule filled with activities for every mood. Sunrise yoga, dance and fitness classes, Maldivian cooking workshops, live music, fire shows, art sessions and family-friendly games are just a glimpse of what fills each day.
DON’T MISS Swim with majestic manta rays at Hanifaru Bay or at the house reef, which is just steps from the hotel
