Baa Atoll, Maldives

Seaside Finolhu

In translation Finolhu means “sandbank”. Opened in 2016, Finolhu is one of the best beach resorts in Maldives. It stretches across four islands and its beaches are about two kilometres long. Tropical plants line the sandy paths of the main island like in a botanical garden. As a guest in Finolhu you immerse yourself in different worlds, and not just underwater. With its 125 private villas and four restaurants, our resort is as varied as the coral landscape of Baa Atoll.

Those looking for tranquillity can surrender to the music of the waves and the turquoise blue of the sea. In the evening they can take a stroll across the sandbank to the Crab Shack and enjoy the sunset with drinks and snacks and that Robinson Crusoe feeling – highly instagrammable. Those who – like dolphins – prefer doing things as a family or group can create an eventful day for themselves, including diving, snorkeling or a trip by boat or catamaran. Or what about a casual evening at one of our parties by the pool bar? Cara Delivingne and Paris Hilton have already been there. Yes, Finolhu is definitely a place for individuals, but its fascination has side effects. After your holiday on our sandbank you’ll probably have difficulty getting used to ordinary everyday life again!

 2 Bedroom Rockstar Villa

2 Bedroom Rockstar Villa

These Maldives luxury villas are reminiscent of a quote from Oscar Wilde, the rock star among writers: “One should give in to temptations. Who knows if they will come again.” Our Rockstar villa is perhaps the most beautiful temptation in the Maldives.

Wine & Dine

 Beach Kitchen

Beach Kitchen

It’s quite possible that you’ll experience a spectacle here as early as breakfast time – for example when a group of dolphins takes centre stage. At Beach Kitchen you’ve got a front-row seat. Located right by the sea, our diner is the culinary centre of Finolhu. In the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening international dishes are freshly prepared at various sections of the buffet. A wide selection of dishes delights vegans, vegetarians, fish fans and meat lovers alike. On various evenings, our chef and his team serve themed specialties: Italian, Asian, Maldivian, Seafood and more. Really delicious!
 Kanusan

Kanusan

This is our fine-dining restaurant. At Kanusan the culinary focus is Asian. The restaurant is located right in the Indian Ocean and can be reached via a short wooden jetty. It has its own bar where you can enjoy an aperitif while you get in the mood for dinner. And you can do this either on the outside veranda or inside the restaurant, which is atmospherically showcased with dimmed light. A place for romantics, where anything can happen while you enjoy authentic Asian flavours.
 Arabian Grill

Arabian Grill

At the Arabian Grill our chefs take you on a culinary trip to North Africa. A sensuous feast for the palate, for the nose and even for the ears, when the sound of the fresh meat sizzling on the table mixes with the lapping of the waves. Maghreb spices such as cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric unfold an all-round feeling of wellbeing – for example in a tajine or delicious mezze dishes containing fish, meat and vegetables – and perhaps the best Hummus outside Tunisia and Morocco.
 Crab Shack

Crab Shack

Just a minute. Doesn’t this little Crab Shack, made of wooden planks, remind us of our dream of living on a desert island? Who strolls from the main island over the sandbank, reaches it in approx. 20 minutes – a great walk. At noon you can enjoy shrimp in the sun with a glass of wine or just have a drink and a few snacks.
 Beach Club

Beach Club

Exotic cocktails to the beats of top DJs? Off to the Beach Club! Pool parties inspired by the slogan “White nights? Off to the Beach Club! A marriage proposal on our upper deck directly under the starry sky? Off to the Beach Club. Performances by world-class artists? Off to the Beach Club. Or just lying in a hammock and letting the music flow over you? Off to the Beach Club.” Yes, as you’ve probably noticed, the Beach Club is the unmistakable heart of the resort. It gives Finolhu a further unmistakable feature among the resorts in the Maldives – it’s as if this bar comes with a touch of Ibiza and Mykonos. In its indoor and air-conditioned section film classics and international sporting events are shown live – after all, there are events you enjoy sharing with other people.
 Milk LAB

Milk LAB

Wherever your journey takes you in Finolhu, you’ll always pass by the Milk LAB. What could be more convenient? A milkshake after a game of tennis. A protein drink after your workout or an espresso when you take a break. Our Milk Bartender is looking forward to your visit!

What we love

Exquisite relaxation

For your wellbeing we have put together a range of beneficial massages. Depending on your individual wishes and requirements, we at Finolhu, a featured Maldives spa resort offer an option for every physical type, from the classical Swedish massage to Thai massages and the sun cooler. Our therapists know what’s good for you! We’ll be happy to advise you individually.

Life under water

Life under water is more touchy-feely than you might think. Did you know that fish can hum, whistle, rumble, chirp, squeak, purr and grunt? That a shark’s sense of smell is about ten thousand times sharper than that of a human being? That dorados, as marine biologists found out, develop an increased appetite when they listen to music by Mozart? That rays enjoy being touched? During our trips you will not only get to see a lot, but also learn a great deal about the underwater world. Baa Atoll is the world’s greatest hotspot for manta rays. From May to November dozens of them come to Hanifaru Bay, only 30 minutes away by speedboat. And those who dive with them will remember the experience for the rest of their lives.

Kids

Here in Finolhu kids are simply referred to as “Oceaneers”. Their Maldives kids club is a world that enchants and encourages creativity – in playing, cooking and baking and of course duringguided excursions on and below the water. At the Oceaneers Club well-trained staff are available for teenagers and toddlers from morning till night. Parents know that their children will be well looked after here for a few hours, and can spend some relaxing time on their own without worries.
