Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

Dream

Hidden behind traditional turquoise gates, contemporary, thatched Beach Villas and Bungalows boast beach access, a private pool and lush private gardens. Perched on stilts over the tranquil lagoon, the Water Villas, some with pools, offer panoramic Indian Ocean views through floor to ceiling windows, spacious sundecks, outdoor showers and nets for over-water relaxing.

Combine the ultimate in beachside escapism with a true home-away-from-home experience at the uber-luxe hideaway residence - Landaa Estate. This three-bedroom, two-storey estate features a private 80 metre beach, two pools, a stargazing lounge, a vast al fresco space and 24-hour butler service.

Eat

Enjoy the flavours of Asia, sample Lebanese and Moroccan fare in a rooftop setting and dine on Italian cuisine as lagoon and ocean views stretch into the distance or enjoy the day's catch or organic meats poolside. An exceptional menu is always part of Four Seasons dining, but for special occasions a unique setting can make it even more unforgettable. Choose from a dreamy dinner on a private sandbank, a dramatic mid-ocean dinner, a sumptuous beach barbecue and more.

Play

Snorkel with seasonal gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks at nearby feeding sites or enjoy a host of the latest and greatest water-based activities from the Water Sports Centre, including jetblades, x-jetpacks, kitesurfing, parasailing and stand up paddleboarding.

Embark on a journey of discovery into the underwater world with two of the ocean's most majestic creatures - manta rays and whale sharks. Cruise on the turquoise waters of the Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and learn to spot these gentle giants in the water, help record essential environmental information, then take the next step and free-dive into the Indian Ocean to observe these spectacular sea creatures in their natural habitat.

Family

The Kuda Velaa (little turtle) Kids Club entertains young guests with an exciting array of games, cultural craft making, educational activities and beach fun. In addition to inspiring a passion for adventure and discovery, the programme incorporates many of the resort's environmental initiatives, allowing children to build their own coral reef, feed the baby clownfish and visit the on-site Marine Discovery Centre.
