The hotel

This colourful, contemporary paradise must be one of the coolest spots in the Maldives. Your own private plunge pool, stunning Indian Ocean views at every turn, and a range of activities to enjoy – it’s all waiting for you at The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, just a short seaplane ride from Male airport. As well as direct water or beach access, and (believe it or not!) a disco ball in every bathroom, your room comes equipped with an activity wall, meaning you can grab a snorkel and head out into the ocean whenever the mood takes you. Whether you’re trying your hand at ping pong at Todis, indulging in local cuisine Maldivian style at Guduguda, or dining with your toes in the sand at BBQ Shak, you’ll love the fun, social vibe here. Enjoy events such as beachfront movie screenings or karaoke nights, as well as regular entertainment and excursions – and getting around is made easy with complimentary bicycles. However you choose to spend your time, an unforgettable stay is The Standard here...

We just returned from an amazing 5-day stay here, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was outstanding—especially the "sushi"which was some of the best we’ve ever had! Every meal was delicious, and the dining options were fantastic. The Guduguda is another fantastic restaurant to try! A highlight of our trip was my son’s first diving experience, thanks to the wonderful and patient diving coach, who made it such a fun and memorable moment for him. The team truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible time. The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning views, luxurious accommodations, and a relaxing vibe. We left feeling completely refreshed and happy. Thank you! Read less

My sister and me stayed on the island May & Jun for an 11 night stay. It was my Sister’s 60th birthday 🎈 we had an amazing time a holiday that will never be forgotten. We stayed 5 nights in a beach villa absolutely beautiful, 6 nights in the water villas absolutely amazing….we didn’t want to leave! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, views to die for and the marine life is amazing. I have visited the Maldives 7 times but this was my first visit to The Standard…it definitely won’t be my last! The island is fabulous…so clean it has everything you are looking for, you can make your stay relaxed or active as you want! They have every kind of water sport activity to do, a fabulous gym, you can cycle round the island 🏝️…or walk, plenty of activities on the beach or use the swimming pool which is positioned just right for breathtaking views…..or you can use the spa (we highly recommend to do this) they have an amazing team the treatments are fabulous, Dr Salma a holistic doctor is excellent. The food is exceptional they have 3 specialty restaurants, the main buffet and a juice cafe you won’t be disappointed the chefs & catering team produce the most amazing dishes and cater for every need! House keeping team amazing nothing is too much trouble for them! Zainu our host was just brilliant he kept us updated every day, arranged any trips or activities we wanted to do…so kind thank you again!

Everything is perfect. The service is good, the accommodation is good, the scenery is beautiful, the beach is perfect, the sea water is perfect. The color is the weather. The only regret is that I can't go into the sea if it's not good
