An Indian Ocean icon that still surprises
Set within the remote reaches of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru spans a jungle wilderness fringed by impossibly blue lagoon. Guests arrive by private seaplane, soaring over coral atolls before touching down at the island’s own jetty, where iridescent waters and warm Maldivian welcomes await. Thatched-roof villas curve along the white sand and overwater jetties, offering barefoot luxury and deep connection to nature.
Designed for privacy, immersion and renewal, the 103 villas and bungalows blend local craftsmanship with contemporary lines: vaulted ceilings, open-air bathrooms, raffia chandeliers and horizon-gazing pools. Each accommodation is a secluded retreat, with direct access to the beach or lagoon and an intuitive indoor-outdoor layout that mirrors the rhythms of island life.
At the heart of the island lies Blu Beach Club, stretching across a kilometre of pure white sand and a meandering sand spit. Menus at Blu are shaped by two-Michelin-starred Chef Nino Di Costanzo, pairing Mediterranean inspiration with local produce and world-class technique. Elsewhere, guests can share Arabian mezze at Al Barakat or dine over water at Café Landaa, accompanied by dramatic sunsets and sea breezes.
Wellness at Landaa centres on AyurMa, a multidisciplinary haven that reimagines self-care for people and the planet. Guests consult with Ayurvedic doctors, naturopaths and yoga therapists across tranquil overwater suites, engaging in experiences from panchakarma and pranayama to sound healing and moonlit meditation. Treatments draw on 15 years of holistic practice at the resort and reflect a new, compassionate approach to wellbeing.
The surrounding marine territory is the largest protected ocean area in the Maldives, home to manta rays, reef sharks and coral forests. At the Marine Discovery Centre, guests can join pioneering conservation programmes, from turtle rehabilitation and coral propagation to manta tracking and immersive marine biology courses. Ocean lovers can sign up for Manta-on-Call, snorkelling with the largest recorded population of reef mantas in the world.
Beyond the reef, the island experience continues with Cinema Under the Stars, sandbank dinners, dolphin cruises, jet-foiling and night snorkelling. Families can explore the island through the Kuda Velaa kids’ programme, while teens dive into marine conservation or master e-foiling on turquoise shallows.
From sunrise yoga on a jungle deck to sundowners at Seabar as lemon sharks swirl below, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru offers a stay shaped by nature, grounded in purpose and elevated by design. Every detail reflects a deep respect for the ocean, the land, and the art of slowing down.
