Renowned around the world for its personalised welcome and tailored approach, Four Seasons has two luxury resorts in the Maldives, each with its own personality. But you don’t need to choose between the two – the Paradise Twice offer combines a stay at both for the ultimate tropical getaway.
Built in a traditional Maldivian style with thatched roofs, this castaway-style hideaway of 103 beach and overwater villas on a former coconut plantation includes three-bedroom options for up to nine people, making it a prime choice for those looking for a multigenerational holiday or to spend time with extended family or friends.
All villas come with private pools and outdoor showers. The water villas have been cunningly designed to have twice as much living space outside than in, to create vastly extended indoor-outdoor cocoons that bring the ocean even closer. They also have mezzanine-level lofts accessed by a spiral staircase to make the most of the ocean views, plus steps down into the ocean and overwater nets. Some villas come with extras such as personal attendants, full kitchens and even a rooftop stargazing lounge with its own plunge pool.
Nestled within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Landaa Giraavaru includes a Marine Discovery Centre where you can join pioneering conservation projects including coral reefscaping, turtle rehabilitation and manta ray protection. Environmentally minded teens can also join in-depth Trainee Marine Biologist courses. The Resort also has a brilliant kids’ club with unique Passport to Adventure and Mission: Landaa Giraavaru programs featuring challenges, puzzles and activities, from coral reefscaping to lizard spotting.
Landaa Giraavaru is also a place for restoration and rejuvenation: health haven, AyurMa, delivers an inspired range of individual and shared experiences based on the four pillars of Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, Wellness and Planetary Wellbeing, including a complimentary daily yoga session accessible to all online.
This garden island oozing Maldivian charm also offers all the luxuries you could imagine and more, but life here is really all about the great outdoors. Think shark safaris, dolphin cruises, surfing, fun and learning about the environment in the Marine Discovery Centre, and even taking part in baby-turtle feeding as part of ongoing conservation projects. You also enjoy a complimentary orientation dive as part of your stay. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll be busy at the lively Kuda Mas Club with its gardening sessions, Maldivian history lessons, coral-reef building, outdoor yoga and other wonderful offerings.
When it’s time to relax, the spa is like nothing you’ll have seen elsewhere. Set on its own island a two-minute boat ride away, it hosts a unique Night Spa ‘Secrets of the Sea’ ritual. Treatments are given in thatched-roof pavilions with sliding doors opening directly to the Indian Ocean and portals beneath each massage bed so you can gaze at the marine life while you’re being pampered.
The dining is out of this world too, with picnics on private islands and sandbanks as well as great on-site dining in Baraabaru, where award-winning Indian cuisine is served beneath towering Keralan columns or on a torchlit overwater deck, and Reef Club, which celebrates the sun-drenched flavours of the Mediterranean.
You’ll stay in a beach or overwater villa inspired by Maldivian village dwellings, with thatched roofs, timber floors and lattice panels. With options sleeping up to eight, this is another fabulous choice for gathering with family or friends, including multigenerational holidays.
