Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa completes expanded overwater collection

Published

on

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa has announced the completion of its expanded overwater suite collection.

The overwater wing at Four Seasons Kuda Huraa now has three exceptional lagoon-top suite categories: The Three-Bedroom Water Suite with Pool, Two-Bedroom Water Suite with Pool and the Family Water Villa with Pool.

“It’s great to have these vast new suites to answer to the growing demand for luxurious-yet-connected family and group travel,” the Resort’s General Manager Randy Shimabuku, was quoted in a statement, as saying.

“Guests are really enjoying being in an open-plan space, as opposed to spread across multiple separate rooms, and the expansive outdoor poolside decks are proving really popular for intimate pre-wedding events and milestone celebrations.”

Spanning nearly 800 square metres, the Three-Bedroom Water Suites with Pool (two units) are amongst the country’s top overwater accommodation. Guests can sip on sundowners in the extra-long infinity pool parallel to the sea, indulge in treatments and yoga from The Island Spa on a huge oceanside deck, bring the best of the resort’s dining to the doorstep with intimate dinners in the water-edge living pavilion, or descend the steps directly into the warm crystal lagoon for a moonlit midnight dip.

Two-Bedroom Water Suites with Pool (three units) offer a choice of configurations: swim towards the horizon or float adjacent to it with two different pool and deck orientations parallel and perpendicular to the sea. Perfect for older families or two sets of friends, these suites allow guests to enjoy spacious surrounds furnished with loungers, overwater nets plus huge open-plan living and dining areas inside and out.

The one-of-a-kind Family Water Villa with Pool (one unit) offers space and seclusion at the far end of the water villas jetty. Guests can keep a close eye on the little ones in the sunken children’s room a step down from the lounge, with a wall of windows framing the endless turquoise lagoon. A large lounge deck wraps the villa, while it comes with overwater nets, an L-shaped pool, and steps descending into the lagoon for effortless snorkel adventures.
