What an unbelievably perfect two weeks (in the middle of maldives) I've just spent in the maldives with my partner. Returning to real life today was a big adjustment 😭 I really can't put into words just how special the entire trip was. We were tossing up where to go with our last vacation being at the standard in 2023 - should we go somewhere new or return to the maldives which we know is just amazing - we chose the standard (obviously) and we couldn't have made a better choice. We were very blessed with the weather conditions with perfect sunshine and still waters for 90% of the day time with only occassional rain. The rooms were just as amazing as we remember with enormous lovely beds with the most spectacular ocean views. Bathrooms - amazing - huge bath, glass floors for looking at the fish while you brush your teeth and the absolute roommaker - the discoball. Activities were amazing with ease of access to water based activities - swimming with mantas, whale sharks, turtles, nurse sharks and gorgeous reefs. Food also extremely high quality with expansive and delicious breakfast buffets, great restaurants with amazing scenery and the room service is top notch. The staff are really which makes the standard such a phenomenal place to visit. Every single staff member (from every department) is friendly, warm and doing their utmost to make your stay the best it can be. Was a sad experience saying goodbye to all the staff on the last as you feel like you're losing a whole bunch of friends - such is their quality. Special thanks to our host youssef who dealt with absolutely any of our requests immediately and perfectly - ripper bloke too 👌👌👌 special thanks to mike who manages entertainment (fire breather, dingo host, dance king) is one of the most loveable, friendly and entertaining blokes you'd ever meet. Special thanks to raf from the dive school who managed the guided snorkel sessions like a pro. Special thanks to every single staff member who makes the standard the standard. Until next time 🩵 TLDR - Amazing Read less

Another unforgettable resort stay! The water villa was beyond amazing — elegant, private, and offering spectacular ocean views. The comfort, attention to detail, and outstanding service made the whole experience truly the best. From sunrise to sunset, every moment felt magical. Definitely one of the finest water villa experiences I’ve ever had.
