The Standard, Maldives by Hyatt

The Resort — A playful Raa Atoll escape with serious island style

Don’t be fooled by the name: there’s nothing standard about this resort. From the moment you step off the seaplane at The Standard, Maldives, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special. The Standard Hotels brand is globally renowned for redefining boutique hospitality, with iconic properties in the hottest destinations, including New York City, Miami and London. Discover The Standard’s take on island luxury at its incredible Maldives resort.

Here, every private pool villa opens directly onto the beach, lagoon or ocean, so days drift between protected house reef snorkelling, poolside downtime and playful resort activities. The Standard’s ‘Happenings’ program is a fun way to get to know your fellow guests, with a rotating schedule of mixology classes, pool parties, live music and movies under the stars.

Between events, unwind by the adults-only pool with a swim-up wellness bar serving herbal cocktails, challenge friends on the tennis court, hit the gym, make a splash in the main pool or explore the island by complimentary resort bike. Need to take a breath? The Standard Spa has you covered with everything from an aroma steam room to DIY mud experiences, holistic treatments and yoga classes.
