Seaside Finolhu BAA ATOLL, MALDIVES
With its many reef-ringed atolls, abundant marine life and almost year-round sunshine, the Maldives is an idyllic destination. Stretching across four islands, Seaside Finolhu delivers all of this and more with its tastefully balanced combination of pristine peacefulness and thoroughly modern luxury
Nestled in Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Seaside Finolhu is a perfect launchpad from which to explore the Indian Ocean’s vibrant underwater life. This barefoot chic resort can be accessed either by a short seaplane flight from Malé International Airport, or via a flight from Malé to Dharavandhoo Domestic Airport, followed by a 25-minute speedboat ride.
ACCOMMODATION Each one of Seaside Finolhu’s 125 stylish villas are located either on the island’s alluring beachfront or directly over the azure ocean waters. More than half of the villas feature a private pool, while every villa category also offers a spacious living area with all the modern comforts of home. The resort’s flagship two-bedroom ‘Rockstar
Villa’ has been referred to by some as ‘the most beautiful temptation in the Maldives’. The villa offers inspiring and uninterrupted ocean views. The next level in indulgent living, it’s the ideal getaway for larger groups.
For guests who prefer to stay on dry land,
Seaside Finolhu also offers a range of trendy beach villas. The resort’s one-bedroom villas either include a private pool or overlook the island’s lagoon or beach. The two-bedroom beach pool villas are ideal for families after a relaxed escape. Seaside Finolhu has recently undergone a major
transformation, with the new design striking a delicate balance between Maldivian culture, ultra-luxury modernity and a chilled, resort-like atmosphere. Led by the London-based design studio Muza Lab, Seaside Finolhu’s redesigned villas are a colourful melange of symmetrical patterns, woven textiles, and coloured glass. Inspired by the lens of the kaleidoscope, the renovated resort treats guests to vibrant pops of colour, a playful use of patterns, and unique creations from world-renowned artisans.
DINING Seaside Finolhu’s restaurant team bring together a unique combination of artisanship, professional
experience and international flair to create a memorable dining experience for each and every meal. Understanding that visitors to the Maldives come from every corner of the globe, the resort serves up a range of dining options to suit every palate. From Asian cuisine to a rustic seafood grill shack and even a taste of Middle Easter fare, the vibrant choice of fresh flavours and textures is guaranteed to take foodies on an epicurean journey that’s both culinary and sensory. The Beach Kitchen is the culinary heart of
Seaside Finolhu. From morning till night, diners are treated to a range of international delights and contemporary favourites right on the beachfront. Each evening, the resort also offers a themed dining experience, providing the opportunity to sample delicacies from across the world. Offering unobstructed views in every direction
and accessible only by a boardwalk, Kanusan serves as the resort’s fine dining establishment featuring modern Japanese cuisine. Set against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, the restaurant
exudes a charming oriental ambience, while its delightful combination of sumptuous cuisine, rhythmic ocean sounds and spectacular views of a stunning Maldivian sunset make it the ultimate venue for romantic occasions such as proposals, honeymoons, or wedding anniversaries. Located in the centre of the island’s lush
tropical greenery, the Arabian Grill is designed to take guests on a multi-sensory adventure. The restaurant combines chic interiors, tantalising aromas and a cool ocean breeze to create a journey for the senses. The Arabian Grill is the perfect place to relax and unwind. For guests looking for a unique gastronomic
adventure, the resort’s Crab Shack restaurant offers a laid-back ‘toes-in-the-sand’ dining experience. Despite only being a 20-minute walk across the sandbank or seven-minute dhoni ride from the main island, the Crab Shack transports diners to another world where they can indulge in mouthwatering seafood as they soak up the magical views across Finolhu’s picturesque sandbank and dream of a desert island adventure.
