Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa
Embrace pure paradise at one of the Maldives’ most spectacular private island resorts. This remote, jungle-clad island is an emerald drop in the ocean with some of the most generous overwater villas and best snorkelling in the Maldives.
This resort was declared the Maldives’ Leading Honeymoon Resort at the World Travel Awards 2024 for good reason: from the privacy of the villas to overwater dining by candlelight, the island is romance incarnate. Sunset dolphin cruises and turtle snorkelling: every experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa is located on Dhonakulhi Island, an idyllic private island in the archipelago’s spectacular Haa Alifu Atoll. An included 60-minute domestic flight from Malé will take you from Velana International Airport (MLE) to Hanimaadhoo Domestic Airport (HAQ), where a complimentary speedboat transfer will whisk you to the resort. You’ll be transfered back to Malé at the end of your stay, please see Fine Print for further details.

The Resort – Five-star private island bliss in the Maldives
True to its name, Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa provides the ultimate secluded sanctuary in the Maldives. Everything here revolves around escaping the real world in a luxurious paradise enhanced by the surrounding natural beauty. Plunge into the crystal-clear lagoon and snorkel or dive among colourful coral reefs, turtles and dolphins, or take a dip in one of two sparkling infinity pools.
Excursions are designed to suit your escape – honeymooners can picnic on a romantic, unmarked sandbank, while culture vultures can hop across to the historically significant Utheemu island, and families can keep all ages entertained on a sunset dolphin cruise. There is also free use of sports equipment and non-motorised water sports, as well as access to the Floating Aqua Park.
Decadence is on the menu across the resort’s restaurants. Enjoy wood-fired pizzas, grilled meat and seafood at Meeru Bar & Grill; dine under the stars on the open-air deck at Matheefaru; sample international fine cuisine at Oasis Restaurant, Bar & Lounge; try Thai, Japanese and Indian flavours at Samsara Asian Fusion; or take in ocean views while enjoying relaxed international dining at Sunset Pool Café.
Tender Hearts Kids’ Club is on hand to keep children aged between three and 11 entertained with treasure hunts and crab races, while adults can relax at Hideaway Spa or keep active with tennis, yoga and a comprehensive sports complex. Sustainability is at the core of Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, which complements its luxurious facilities with eco-friendly initiatives such as water bottling, sustainable fishing and harvesting vegetables from an onsite vegetable garden that helps minimise the impact on the environment.
Your Handpicked Inclusions – Roundtrip Malé transfers, daily breakfast, nightly dinner and more
Relaxation is guaranteed from the moment you arrive in beautiful Malé, where a short domestic flight and quick speedboat ride will take you straight to the resort. Sit back and take in the crystal-clear lagoon and white sands that signal your arrival in paradise. Once you’ve settled into your villa (among the largest in the Maldives), your butler is on hand 24/7 to take care of your needs. Whether you want to book a private dinner, enquire about spa treatments or need help unpacking – your butler ensures that you won’t need to lift a finger. You’ll also enjoy one signature welcome drink per adult.
Breakfast is taken care of daily with a vast and varied buffet at Matheefaru, with a team of talented chefs live cooking for the perfectly seasoned dish, made just the way you like.
Dinner is a magical affair – sit on the open-air deck under a sea of stars as you dine buffet-style on fresh local seafood, homegrown vegetables and perfectly cooked meat dishes at Matheefaru, enjoy laid-back poolside a la carte plates at Sunset Pool Cafe or head to Meeru Bar & Grill for modern fare delivered with distinctly European flair. Feel like something different? Switch things up with a 50% discount at either Oasis Restaurant, Bar & Lounge or Samsara Asian Fusion. No matter where you choose to dine, your evening meal will be perfectly complemented with two glasses of house beer, wine or soft drink per person.
Plus, enjoy two complimentary excursions – a magnificent sunset dolphin cruise and guided house reef snorkelling both await. Couples will fall in love all over again at a romantic private dining experience on the shores of Meeru Beach or Long Beach.
