Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives

In translation "finolhu" means "sandbank". Opened in 2016, Seaside Finolhu Resort is one of the best beach resorts in the Maldives. It stretches across four islands and its beaches are about two kilometers long. Thanks to lush tropical plants the main island looks like a botanical garden. This elegant resort with its 125 private villas and four restaurants is as varied as the coral landscape of Baa Atoll.

Those looking for tranquility can surrender to the music of the waves of the turquoise blue sea. In the evening you can take a stroll across the sandbank to the Crab Shack to enjoy the sunset with favourite drinks and snacks. Guests, who prefer active and eventful vacation with family and friends, can occupy themselves with diving, snorkeling or a boat trip.

And what about a spontaneous evening at one of the parties by the pool bar? Cara Delivingne and Paris Hilton have already been there! The hotels perk is its Beach Bubble Tent, located on the sandbank - in a big transparent bubble there is a king-size bed with a baldachin, indoor shower and even a toilet.

Seaside Finolhu Resort definitely is the perfect place for every guest. However, there is one minus - after a vacation here it will be difficult for you to return to everyday life!

From May to November, dozens of them sail to Hanifaru Bay, only half an hour away from the resort on a speed boat. And those who dive with them will remember this experience for life. Guests are taken to the most beautiful parts of the Baa Atoll. It has everything from deep sea fishing at dawn to morning diving and sunset cruises with dolphins:

• Snorkeling. In the morning or at sunset it’s a great moment when you take your diving goggles and flippers and plunge into water! You can reach a beautiful coral reef from your villa with just a few flicks of your flippers. And those who want the big tour can go snorkeling out to the sea with the experienced team.
