The Landaa Estate at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru has been included in the prestigious list of the Top 100 Suites in the world by global luxury lifestyle guide Elite Traveler.

Listing the Landaa Estate in the ‘Family’ category of the 2017 list, Elite Traveler said the three-bedroom, two-storey bungalow makes a stay at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru seem even more extraordinary. Featuring 262ft of private beach, two pools, a stargazing lounge and a wealth of outdoor space, the villa truly embraces its surroundings, with open-air living areas bringing the outdoors in, it added.

“While the first floor is taken up by two en suite bedrooms with features such as a sunken marble bath and garden shower, the second floor is home to a third bedroom along with the stargazing lounge and a plunge pool that cascades down into the main swimming pool below. A personal chef can be requested as well as hand delivered sunset cocktails and canapés,” the listing read.

Published annually, Elite Travelers’ list of Top 100 Suites picks out the world’s most iconic rooms to stay in the year. The hand selected list recognises where hotels have gone the extra mile to create something truly extraordinary.

Combining innovation, wellness and conservation, Four Seasons Maldives Resort at Landaa Giraavaru is a 44-acre, 103-villa wonderland in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — a 30-minute seaplane flight from the main Velana International Airport.

Its sister property, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, lies to the south: an enchanting garden island complete with Island Spa sea sanctuary and Tropicsurf coaches and guides. The luxury catamaran Four Seasons Explorer connects the two via three, four and seven-night cruises, plus private leisure, surf and manta ray charters.

The latest addition to the Maldives collection, Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah, Baa Atoll opened in December as the group’s first exclusive-use private island: off limits to everyone else, limitless to the guests.
