Finolhu is one of the best beach resorts in the Maldives. It stretches across four islands and its beaches are about two kilometres long. Tropical plants line the sandy paths of the main island like in a botanical garden. As a guest in Finolhu you immerse yourself in different worlds, and not just underwater. With its 125 private villas and four restaurants, our resort is as varied as the coral landscape of Baa Atoll.

Those looking for tranquillity can surrender to the music of the waves and the turquoise blue of the sea. In the evening they can take a stroll across the sandbank to the Crab Shack and enjoy the sunset with drinks and snacks and that Robinson Crusoe feeling – highly instagrammable. Those who – like dolphins – prefer doing things as a family or group can create an eventful day for themselves, including diving, snorkelling or a trip by boat or catamaran. Or what about a casual evening at one of our parties by the pool bar? Cara Delivingne and Paris Hilton have already been there. Yes, Finolhu is definitely a place for individuals, but its fascination has side effects. After your holiday on our sandbank, you’ll probably have difficulty getting used to ordinary everyday life again!

ACCOMMODATION

Life by the sea and the daily view of its infinite shades of blue transform us. Our spirits are lifted by the waves, and our sense of time disappears. In our 125 villas, you are very close to the sea. All the villas are located directly on the beach or on stilts above the lagoon, and half of them have their own pool. They not only offer luxurious facilities, but also a high degree of privacy – when you sleep, chill and shower in the open air. Identified as being among the best Maldives island resorts, in our villas dreams come true!

DINING

Luxury means a wealth of choice. In Finolhu you can choose between four different restaurants, depending on your mood. Our chef has created a unique concept for each of them, but what they all have in common is a fine blend of craftsmanship, individuality and an international style that appeals to everyone. The freshness of the products is particularly important to him and his team.

Beach Kitchen – It’s quite possible that you’ll experience a spectacle here as early as breakfast time – for example when a group of dolphins takes centre stage. At Beach Kitchen, you’ve got a front-row seat. Located right by the sea, our diner is the culinary centre of Finolhu. In the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening international dishes are freshly prepared at various sections of the buffet. A wide selection of dishes delights vegans, vegetarians, fish fans and meat lovers alike. On various evenings, our chef and his team serve themed specialities: Italian, Asian, Maldivian, Seafood and more. Really delicious!

Kanusan – This is our fine-dining restaurant. At Kanusan the culinary focus is Asian. The restaurant is located right in the Indian Ocean and can be reached via a short wooden jetty. It has its own bar where you can enjoy an aperitif while you get in the mood for dinner. And you can do this either on the outside veranda or inside the restaurant, which is atmospherically showcased with dimmed light. A place for romantics, where anything can happen while you enjoy authentic Asian flavours. A marriage proposal, for example.

Arabian Grill  – At the Arabian Grill our chefs take you on a culinary trip to North Africa. A sensuous feast for the palate, for the nose and even for the ears when the sound of the fresh meat sizzling on the table mixes with the lapping of the waves. Maghreb spices such as cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric unfold an all-around feeling of wellbeing – for example in a tajine or delicious mezze dishes containing fish, meat and vegetables – and perhaps the best Hummus outside Tunisia and Morocco.

Crab Shack  – Just a minute. Doesn’t this little Crab Shack, made of wooden planks, remind us of our dream of living on a desert island? Who strolls from the main island over the sandbank, reaches it in approx. 20 minutes – a great walk. At noon you can enjoy shrimp in the sun with a glass of wine or just have a drink and a few snacks.

Beach Club – This is where it all happens. If you want to hear laid-back sounds you can enjoy the music here from early in the morning until late in the evening. Exotic cocktails to the beats of top DJs? Off to the Beach Club! Pool parties inspired by the slogan “White nights? Off to the Beach Club! A marriage proposal on our upper deck directly under the starry sky? Off to the Beach Club. Performances by world-class artists? Off to the Beach Club. Or just lying in a hammock and letting the music flow over you? Off to the Beach Club.” Yes, as you’ve probably noticed, the Beach Club is the unmistakable heart of the resort. It gives Finolhu a further unmistakable feature among the resorts in the Maldives – it’s as if this bar comes with a touch of Ibiza and Mykonos. In its indoor and air-conditioned section film classics and international sporting events are shown live – after all, there are events you enjoy sharing with other people.

Milk LAB – Wherever your journey takes you in Finolhu, you’ll always pass by the Milk LAB. What could be more convenient? A milkshake after a game of tennis. A protein drink after your workout or an espresso when you take a break. Our Milk Bartender is looking forward to your visit!

FEHI SPA

For your wellbeing, we have put together a range of beneficial massages. Depending on your individual wishes and requirements, we at Finolhu, a featured Maldives spa resort offer an option for every physical type, from the classical Swedish massage to Thai massages and the sun cooler. Our therapists know what’s good for you! We’ll be happy to advise you individually.

Taking a sauna bath at such outside temperatures, Sweating in a steam bath in summer? Why not! It cleans the skin and will help you to feel pleasantly relaxed. And afterwards, the 30-degree temperatures here in the Maldives will appear pleasantly cool. You can also visit our spa world after an extensive workout in our fitness room. It will reduce muscle soreness the next day. We have separate steam baths for men and women, and from our island sauna, you have a direct view of the sea.

The statement that real beauty comes from within is only partly true. Those who do nothing to care for their outer appearance may feel good, but will also look less than radiant because the skin needs a lot of care – especially when exposed to the sun. Fortunately, our therapists have developed individual treatments for all skin types.
