Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives, a Member of Design Hotels

Our stay at Finolhu Beach Resort in the Baa Atoll was simply breathtaking. From the moment we stepped off the seaplane, we were enveloped in a world of pure luxury and tranquility. This stunning island, larger than some of its neighbors, offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We spent our days lounging in our luxurious overwater villa, complete with a private plunge pool and breathtaking ocean views, and strolling along the pristine, kilometer-long sandbank, feeling like the only two people in the world. The dining experiences were exceptional, from the fresh seafood at the Beach Kitchen to the innovative cuisine at Kanusan. Every meal was a culinary journey, featuring the highest quality ingredients and creative presentations. And the staff? Incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay unforgettable. They anticipated our every need and greeted us with smiles every day. The highlight of our trip was the unforgettable White Party at Crab Shack – a magical evening of sunset cocktails, dancing under the stars, and pure bliss. We danced the night away to live music & the DJ's infectious beats. We can't wait to return to this slice of heaven!

Top notch resort! After visiting over 8 Maldivian islands over the last 10 years, Finolhu turns out to be one of the very best. It scores highly in all areas with good food and wine to excellent service and location. We loved the island with plenty of clean sand and crystal clear calm water for swimming. Villas were to our liking as they were fresh spacious and vibrant in designs. We spent 10 days on the island for our 10th anniversary and throughly enjoyed the entertainment from circus skills to beach parties and a memorable wine tasting with the head sommelier. We often get asked which was our favourite island and would be happy to say Finolhu is in our top 3. The island has a little bit of everything helping you relax with the beautiful spa to yoga sessions on the beach. The island’s long sand bank is also excellent for running and the strava named green autobahn cocoons you with lush green foliage. Well done to the staff for a genuinely warm and friendly welcome making our anniversary so memorable.

Firstly, for anyone researching where to stay in the Maldives - just pick Finolhu. After hours & hours of research, we did and it surpassed every expectation in every sense. When talking to other guests who have stayed in other well known luxury resorts, they all commented how Finolhu was the best one by far. If you want detail read below, if you want the summary - book it!! You won't regret it. We travel on average around 5-10 times a year globally between work trips and holidays, we have stayed in a lot of luxury hotels and Finolhu hands down is the best one we have ever experienced. This is down to a few factors: 1. Service - This is luxury, personalized service from the minute you jump in the transfer to the seaplane lounge where there's a beautiful cafe with a terrace, a delicious spread of food & drink and even showers with all you need to refresh after a long flight. When you land, Finolhu have a large, stable jetty connected to the island, which as we dropped off other passengers to other resorts en route we realized isn't always the norm! Some are small pontoons in the middle of the ocean....small bit scary! You are greeted by a team of waving staff who welcome you with a fresh coconut and there you meet your butler, or Rohoo, who takes you on a brief tour of the resort while you luggage is being delivered into your villa. Throughout our stay our Rohoo was Raaish. Words can't describe how thoughtful and attentive Raaish was during our stay, nothing was a problem, he is a calm, smiling presence throughout your day and we miss him! Endless buggy rides around the place anytime of day or night, organizing excursions and spa appointments, letting us know in advance if restaurants are getting busy so we book in before missing a slot, letting us know every morning if there's something special on activity wise and what time is best to be there - the list goes on! His service took our stay to the next level and we will be back because of this. We were also very impressed with the room service, with the room being attended to twice a day for towels and bedding if you so desired, mini bar restocked and the nighttime turn down was a lovely touch - it kept our villa shining throughout our stay never mind the sand and sea water we were bringing in! There wasn't one moment of the entire 7 days where we had to look for someone for our next drink, they were always keeping an eye out on our water levels and how empty the beers/cocktails were There's also around 2 staff members per guest so this is why the service is so efficient and seamless Special mentions to: Alfaah who helped us very late at night when we had an injured member of the party and made sure we were in at the island doctor when we needed to be Ayya who proudly manages The Arabian Grill, he's so knowledgeable & passionate about his restaurant and turned our package into a culinary & wine pairing experience for the night! 2. Food - We didn't realize Finolhu was owned by a G
