Nestled in the Raa Atoll on Huruvalhi island, a seaplane ride from Male, lies The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives. The hotel enjoys an idyllic location surrounded by a vast lagoon and is close to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which provides a glimpse into Maldives' stunning underwater marine life.

The Island Experience

Explaining the lay of the land, Lijo says, “Our Island oasis is a perfect, romantic escape for friends and families alike. Each of our 115 pool villas, overwater or settled on the beachfront, has its own private lounge deck and plunge pool. Villas have large bathrooms equipped with oversized bathtubs overlooking disco balls.” They have direct access to the lagoon, ocean, or beach, depending upon their category and location on the island. Hints of bright colours and shiny disco balls add a touch of whimsy to the indulgence of the resort decor. The luxuriously appointed Standard Spa provides peaceful relaxation with amenities such as a communal hammam, aroma steam rooms, and aerial yoga sessions. Culinary delights abound with diverse dining options, including all-day dining at Kula, authentic Maldivian cuisine at Guduguda, sunset views at the overwater Izakaya Beru Bar, and fiery beachfront BBQ at BBQ Shak.
