Hotel information
Nestled within the Baa Atoll, Finolhu is a beautiful barefoot chic resort that puts a playful twist on luxury – from its ‘one-of-a-kind’ Beach Bubble experience to overwater and beach access villas.
The unique reef-ringed lagoon the hotel presides on is home to four islands connected by powdery white sandbanks. Not only can you rest up on the long stretches of sun-drenched beaches, but the house reef is also easily accessible for snorkelling adventures. And with your choice of 125 private villas, four restaurants and an array of exciting activities, your stay is sure to be simply exceptional.
On top of this, the resort is Design Hotels’ first luxury Maldives property. Awash in custom-made furniture and featuring intricate Maldivian touches throughout, you’ll be transported to a world of relaxation. Every detail is thoughtfully prepared, adding to what is already a laidback atmosphere.
Between enjoying the fabulous array of treatments at Fehi Spa and partaking in the thrilling watersports such as kayaking or windsurfing, you’ll discover a range of breathtaking activities. Secluded along Finolhu’s signature sandbank, the Beach Bubble is the only one of its kind on a private beach in the Maldives – and is a truly romantic ‘dream eclipse experience’ under the stars.

Choose from international favourites or Maldivian specialties from the excellent In-Villa Dining menu. Opening hours and days of the week may vary due to the resort’s operational requirements.
Activities & Entertainment
Finolhu is home to an array of adventurous activities. Experience the joy of snorkelling around the tropical house reef or explore the incredible UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for yourself. Dolphin cruises provide magical moments to savour while sunset bottom fishing is a phenomenal excursion at dusk. For something a little different, you could learn the basics of fishing during a sunrise ‘Barra’ trolling excursion under the tutelage of a fishing expert – or go on a turtle safari or manta snorkelling.
The island is also home to a wide array of dive spots where you can learn about the local marine life that populate the waters. Not only that, but the incredible watersports include the non-motorised kayak trips, stand-up paddleboarding and windsurfing alongside the motorised jet skiing, sea bobbing, parasailing – and more. Away from the calm waves, you can partake in the creative arts and crafts classes, watch a movie outdoors at night, listen to live music or enjoy a relaxing spa session.
