The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives

This resort features colorful, contemporary decor that feels relaxing while standing out from the usual Maldives “look”. Millennial-inspired design can be found everywhere from the villas to the trendy restaurants, poolside bar, and on-site nightclub. Villas are either overwater or beachside, facing the ocean or the lagoon, and there are options for couples and groups of up to four people. Every villa has its own private pool. If you’re here to relax, you’ll love the hydrotherapy circuit complete with hammam and the yoga and meditation program, which includes moonlit sessions at night. If you want to get active, there’s a huge range of fun ways to work out, from Animal Flow lessons in the dance studio to diving, surfing, or just hitting the stylish gym. The resort is about a 35-minute seaplane ride from the airport.
