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...

It was paradise holiday. Everything is for you: polite staff, various dishes for dinner and lunch, beautiful home coral reef, big villas with tub and own pool. I recommend to book ocean view villa. You will have outstanding view every day. There is everything what you need for great holiday: snorkelling equipment on villa, circle for swimming.
