The Four Seasons resorts in the Maldives offer stunning scenery and an intimate atmosphere: a real haven for those seeking total escape from the rest of the world. I was recently lucky enough to stay in the luxurious settings of the Four Seasons Kuda Huraa.
After a seamless transfer in Male, where our luggage was whisked away by the Four Seasons staff, we were taken to our luxury speedboat for the 30 minute journey to the resort.
The resort is split into two parts, Sunrise & Sunset, and they each have a selection of beach villas, bungalows and water villas/suites. There is a kids’ club tucked away by the children’s pool and a huge infinity pool overlooking the beautiful ocean. We were staying in beach villas which had direct access to the beach, were located next to the pool and also had their own private pools. It was a fabulous size with a large bathroom, welcoming décor throughout and a choice of indoor and outdoor showers.
During my stay we ate at Café Huraa, an informal dining experience, Reef Club, an Italian restaurant offering weekly lobster events in a magical overwater setting, and Baraabaru where we had an Indian cooking class before enjoying the most delicious Indian cuisine I have ever tasted. We took an evening dolphin cruise from Kuda Huraa and got some fantastic photos of the dolphins swimming alongside us. There is also the option to learn to dive as they have a PADI-licensed Dive Centre and depending on how active you are feeling there is a selection of water sports on offer.
Kuda Huraa have their own private island spa where you sail in a wooden dhoni (traditional Maldivian boat) across the lagoon to the island. They offer a sumptuous selection of treatments offering full spa facilities complete with oversized deep soaking tubs and a private garden courtyard with an open-air shower.
