Full accommodation 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.

Featuring 125 luxurious one and two-bedroom villas, your stay at Finolhu will be nothing but exceptional no matter which option you choose. Whether you want exclusive access to the beautiful beaches or breathtaking views of the sunset, there’s something just for you and your eclectic taste.
