Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

Located in the breathtaking Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island of Landaa Giravaaru is a protected 44-acre wilderness ringed by a glistening turquoise lagoon. On this tropical idyll sits the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, a stunning 5-star luxury resort that is just a scenic 35-minute seaplane flight from Male. The resort’s essence lies in its harmony with the natural surroundings, with a range of 103 exquisitely designed villas melding Maldivian tradition with contemporary style and promoting an effortless transition between indoors and out. Wellness is also an essential fabric of the resort’s ethos, with the AyurMa spa offering a broad selection of revitalising mindfulness rituals and sustainable treatments plus a selection of different yoga styles. Sustainability also lies at the heart of the resort’s culinary endeavours: the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru enjoys a fruitful collaboration with two-Michelin-starred chef Gaetano Trovato, a pioneer in the realm of zero waste cooking who incorporates island-grown herbs and local products into his menus. The eight restaurants and bars at the resort showcase everything from Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine at Al Barakat to toes-in-the-sand grills at Fuego and overwater cocktails at Seabar. In terms of fun and adventure, there is plenty on offer at the resort to ensure you are kept entertained throughout your stay. Highlights include snorkelling with whale sharks and the world’s largest known population of manta rays, PADI-certified diving and a range of thrilling non-motorised water sports, including the Maldives’ first hydrofoil experiences. Guests can also participate in the resort’s innovative manta ray, turtle rehabilitation, fish breeding and coral reef-scaping projects at the Marine Discovery Centre to help ensure the protection of the natural environment and species.
