Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa
Maldives Private Island Villas with All-Inclusive Dining, Unlimited Free-Flow Drinks & Roundtrip Domestic Malé Transfers
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 generously spaced overwater villas and best snorkelling in the Maldives. It was declared the Maldives’ Leading Honeymoon Resort in the World Travel Awards 2023 for good reason: from the privacy of the villas, to overwater dining by candlelight, this fairy-light-lit island is romance incarnate. Sunset dolphin cruises, turtle snorkelling or a castaway picnic on a sandbank: every experience is once-in-a-lifetime.
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa is located on Dhonakulhi Island, an idyllic private island in the archipelago’s spectacular Haa Alifu Atoll. A quick, included domestic flight from Malé will take you to Hanimaadhoo Domestic Airport (HAQ), where a complimentary speedboat transfer will whisk you to the resort. A return domestic transfer will take you 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 charter a yacht or 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 an included dolphin cruise. There is also free use of sports equipment and non-motorised water sports, access to the Aqua Floating Park and free Wi-Fi in all villas and public areas.
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 The Oasis, 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 12 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 an onsite vegetable garden that helps minimise the impact on the environment.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Roundtrip Malé transfers, all-inclusive dining and unlimited free-flow drinks
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 you won’t need to lift a finger.
Maldives the way it’s meant to be: utterly unlimited, with free-flow drinks and daily gourmet dining across three incredible restaurants. Breakfast is taken care of daily with a vast and varied buffet at Matheefaru. The team of talented chefs offers live cooking for the perfectly seasoned dish, made just the way you like. Lunch is your choice of three courses from an a la carte menu at Meeru Bar & Grill or Sunset Pool Cafe, while 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 laidback poolside a la carte plates at Sunset Pool Cafe or head to Meeru Bar & Grill for modern fare delivered with distinctly European flair. In the mood to try another restaurant? Savour 50% discount on food at Oasis for lunches or choose between the high-end Asian-fusion teppanyaki at open-air, overwater Samsara, or return to Oasis, for dinners.
Every day, make your selection from unlimited alcoholic drinks, cocktails and mocktails, fresh juices, water, soft drinks, tea and coffee in all restaurants and bars. Plus, enjoy two complimentary excursions – a magnificent dolphin cruise and guided house reef snorkelling both await. You’ll also enjoy a welcome bottle of premium sparkling wine, in-villa on arrival, and one signature welcome drink per adult.
Overwater Upgrade Bonus: Plunge into quintessential Maldivian bliss when you choose an overwater villa suspended above the lagoon.
