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, 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...

The beautiful natural setting exceeded our expectations. We had an over lagoon and over ocean villa. We loved swimming in the warm aqua water of the lagoon and from the steps of over ocean we loved snorkelling over coral and the beautiful fish. I even found two memo eating an orange plant on coral. We had all our meals in the buffet and the food was excellent and varied on different days with a lot cooked as you wait. All the staff were wonderful and helpful. Enjoyed our cocktails watching the beautiful sunset. If you have to stay overnight in Male make sure you request the first seaplane out in the morning leaving hotel at 5.30am and then you have a full day there.

We went for our honeymoon and the resort went above and beyond to look after us. The resort was clean, well maintained. The rooms were beautiful with amazing views. The washroom was a delightful surprise with the disco ball and see through sections for viewing the lagoon fishes. All this along with the small additional tokens, we fell in love with the place. Special shoutout to shaan, our guide at the resort for making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Mr. Lijo John, the commercial director who personally met and inquired if we had any requirements. The restaurant staff and manager who were constantly ensuring we were having a brilliant time and for making us feel at home. Thank you once again and we hope to return soon! Read less

The best trip for our honeymoon. The place is same as the internet photos and the staff are absolutely brilliant. Mr D and bavan in the sobuke bar made us and a little 8 ball crew feel super welcome every night and stayed up later for us. Every member on the island is brilliant also! The chef who made the menu made it perfect also!
