Set on an enchanting private island in the pristine Lhaviyani Atoll in the Maldives, Hurawalhi Island Resort is an adults-only escape that offers a myriad of options for romance: weddings, honeymoon indulgences and private dining.
Hurawalhi spoils guests with luxurious villas, an intimate tropical paradise setting, enticing dining and otherworldly sunsets. With the choice of beachside and over-water luxury, all villas provide lavish comfort, exclusivity, mesmerising views, and the ocean on your doorstep.
Above, below and by the water, couples are in for a 5-star treat that walks the line between tranquillity and pizzazz, with on-island facilities including a generous all-inclusive service, spa indulgences, marvellous coral reefs and lagoons, and the resort’s crown, the world’s largest undersea restaurant ‘5.8’.
Cheval Blanc Randheli, in the unspoiled setting of Noonu Atoll, 40 minutes north of Malé, is an intimate and contemporary refuge of 46 villas that boast stylish and harmonious decor in a relaxed atmosphere. As expected from a LVMH Group property, this hotel fuses stylish design, luxurious facilities, and a friendly vibe.
The resort caters to couples with an impressive selection of intimate experiences designed for two. From watersports, to diving, to an entire day of island discovery, to an apprenticeship with the Cheval’s master chefs, the creative team is at your disposal to create ultimate memories to share for years to come.
Some of our favourite offerings include sailing a dhoni into the sunset, a picnic on a desert island, a private movie night under the stars, complete with a gourmet meal and bottle of effervescent bubbly, and a one-on-one culinary masterclass with the Maison’s (Cheval’s stunning signature restaurant) master chefs.
Beautifully remote, yet accessible by plane and boat from Malé International Airport, Six Senses Laamu is set in a palm-fringed lagoon to fill you with wonder and provide a stunning backdrop for a love-filled escape.
Villas with all the creature comforts are set either on stilts over the water or on the beachfront and are an easy wander from the resort's restaurants, lounges, and amazing Maldives attractions and destinations.
