The hotel

This colourful, contemporary paradise must be one of the coolest spots in the Maldives. Your own private plunge pool, stunning Indian Ocean views at every turn, and a range of activities to enjoy – it’s all waiting for you at The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, just a short seaplane ride from Male airport. As well as direct water or beach access, and (believe it or not!) a disco ball in every bathroom, your room comes equipped with an activity wall, meaning you can grab a snorkel and head out into the ocean whenever the mood takes you. Whether you’re trying your hand at ping pong at Todis, indulging in local cuisine Maldivian style at Guduguda, or dining with your toes in the sand at BBQ Shak, you’ll love the fun, social vibe here. Enjoy events such as beachfront movie screenings or karaoke nights, as well as regular entertainment and excursions – and getting around is made easy with complimentary bicycles. However you choose to spend your time, an unforgettable stay is The Standard here...

It was such a lovely stay. We had everything we needed. We snorkeled every day, attended Zumba and yoga classes, and enjoyed amazing massages at the spa. Shamaau was a fantastic host, always available and a pleasure to talk to. We’re looking forward to coming back!
