Our multi-award-winning resort is surrounded by an ocean of possibilities, a playground for the young and the young at heart.
A SEASIDE COLLECTION RESORT
A kaleidoscope of colour
Set in the heart of the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll lies Finolhu. Meaning ‘sandbank’ in the local Dhivehi language, the island blends long golden beaches, dense tropical greenery, and seas glittering in every shade of blue. We commissioned the renowned London-based architectural firm Muza Lab to bring our vision to life. Drawing inspiration from the island itself they chose the idea of a kaleidoscope for the design of the villas and restaurants, building an interplay of patterns, geometric shapes and colours that reflected the surrounding natural world.
All this is enhanced by a collection of unique designer objects that adorn the living spaces, created by artists and artisans drawn from across the world.
Beauty, privacy and the care of a personal butler will let you make your dreams come true.

GUEST REVIEW
It is the first German resort in the land of the atolls, it belongs to Seaside Collection, 125 villas, four restaurants, five stars, it is a small, swinging, maybe twenty football fields big paradise, a great Garden of Eden, whose currency is the smile and whose pace is a little slower than the beating of the waves.
WELTWOCHE
From the moment we met the Finolhu airport staff we were so pleased with our choice. The transfer to the island was great, the greeting on arrival of the island was great and we couldn’t have received better service. The Crab Shack for lunch was out of this world and worth going a few times.

We spent a night in the bubble, looked after by our Butler, Ammi who was amazing – he made sure we had a very special evening we will never forget. We went on the Turtle and Dolphin excursion and the sunset cruise, both of which were fabulous and well worth the money. I’ve never seen water this colour or swam in a sea so beautiful it made me cry. Finolhu, you smashed it for me!

After having been to several resorts in the Maldives over the years we found Finolhu to be one of the most pristine settings with its long stretch of white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Whilst the other resorts we have visited all had the same beaches and water Finolhu size makes it the stand out in this area.

This place is heaven and you can never go wrong and can’t wait to return. I highly recommend this resort to everyone that wants to visit and I promise you this team will make you feel like your at home in paradise.

Baa Atoll
A natural wonder in the Indian Ocean
One of 26 natural atolls in the Indian Ocean, Baa Atoll lies on the edge of the open sea, where the crystal-clear waters drop to great depths. Reefs and so-called “thilas” – small, rounded underwater mountains – provide a natural habitat for around 1,200 different species, and it is not without reason that Baa Atoll has been designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Hanifaru Bay is unique and world-famous, offering guests the chance to swim with manta rays and whale sharks.
