Rohit Roy spends family vacay at Hideaway Beach Resort

Renowned Indian actor Rohit Bose Roy, together with wife Manasi Roy and their daughter, are currently holidaying at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, arguably the best hide away retreat in the Maldives.
Rohit Roy is an Indian movie and television star. In fact, both he and his brother, Ronit Bose Roy, are renowned in the industry.
Rohit is known for his role in Hindi television TV shows such as Swabhimaan. He has also acted in notable Bollywood movies like Kaabil, Fashion, and Shootout at Lokhandwala.
Most people may not know this, but he is a voice-actor as well, lending his voice to such roles like that of Peter Quill / Star-Lord in the Hindi dub version of the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies.
He will be featured in an upcoming star-studded action crime movie titled, Mumbai Saga, co-starring with fellow actor John Abraham, directed by Sanjay Gupta, and produced by T-Series.
This gangster drama flick puts focus on some fictitious incidents that could have changed Bombay into Mumbai. He plays the role of stalwart gangster, loyal and strong in the depiction of a character set in troubled times.
You can check out the trailer for one of the songs in the movie recently shared by the actor on Instagram while chilling at his Maldivian retreat.

Both on and off camera, Rohit Roy is known to be a family man who is the biggest supporter of his wife and daughter in all their endeavours and vice-versa.
As an actor of his stature who demands the best for his family, Rohit Roy chose Hideaway as his vacation venue since the expansive 33-hectare island provides the space needed for the whole family to relax and enjoy themselves in.
Exploration is a key part of the Hideaway experience, and every guest is provided with a bike to traverse between various locations on the island. In this way, staying active, taking amazing photos, and witnessing the natural beauty of the Maldives (or the huge villas!) are all part of the package.
Rohit Roy and his family are so far enjoying their stay at one of the few successful local owner-operated resorts in the country. They are based in one of the largest villas on the island which offers an overwater experience- the two-bedroom Ocean Villa with Pool. This is a prized residence at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa.
To witness the villa life at this expansive natural resort in the Maldives, and especially to see Rohit Roy and his family showing their fans how a hide away retreat is done, check out their social media. Live vicariously through them – better yet, consider having a hideaway of your very own to rest, relax, and recharge at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa.

Rohit Roy and his family are vacationing at a five-star resort that is considered one of the largest natural island resorts in the Maldives. It is located in the northern-most atoll in the country, Haa Alifu Atoll, which has only two resorts.
Nature lovers will be ecstatic to learn that this lush resort is full of beautiful flora, maintained by expert local gardeners and botanists, and curious fauna, like the ever-so-shy white-breasted waterhen and the stoic Stork.
The resort offers a variant of its popular sister resort, Lily Beach Resort & Spa’s super generous all-inclusive meal plan: The White Platinum Plan. Just like Lily Beach, Hideaway offers everything from food and drink, on-the-water experiences (like snorkelling and diving), fitness classes, multiple excursions, and more on an island that is six-times larger than Lily Beach.
Among the resort’s four gastronomic experiences is Samsara, an award-winning restaurant that offers bold flavours of Asian Cuisine and features a fusion of Indian and Japanese influenced foods. The scrumptious Indian dishes at the restaurant are some of the best and remain unrivalled in the country, cooked as authentic as possible by Indian chefs. If you cannot live without good Indian cuisine during your stay, better come down to Hideaway to experience an Indian food coma nirvana at Samsara.

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa unveils stylish new Beach Villas with Pool

With twice the outdoor space, an extended pool, a reimagined layout, and a fresh, airy design palette, the new Beach Villas with Pool at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa represent a remarkable transformation from their former Beach Bungalow form. The rich, dark wood tones and enclosed garden settings have been replaced with lighter, brighter, more spacious and refined options tailored for couples, honeymooners, and young families alike.
Set just steps from the shoreline and offering picturesque views of the ocean, lagoon, and sunrise, each Beach Villa accommodates up to three adults or two adults and two children under the age of 12. The interior living space now spans 70 square metres (753.5 sq. ft.), while outdoor areas have been extended to 285 square metres (3,068 sq. ft.).
Commenting on the culmination of the resort’s ongoing regeneration project, General Manager Didier Jardin remarked, “Kuda Huraa has long served as a sanctuary for those in search of a cosy Maldivian home-away-from-home. However, we recognised that our former bungalows posed limitations in layout, natural light and space. Our new Beach Villas encapsulate the soul of the island, blending comfort, care and the timeless magic of the Maldives into one seamless experience.”
Key highlights of the new Beach Villas with Pool include:
- A Fresh and Inviting Aesthetic: The former darker colour scheme has been replaced with a lighter, more vibrant palette, featuring subtle sea- and sun-inspired tones of teal, turquoise, and tangerine.
- Redesigned Interior Layout: A more functional layout begins with a bright porch leading into a light-filled en suite bedroom, complete with a study and dining area. A window-side daybed now offers serene ocean views, while a reconfigured walk-in wardrobe allows direct access to the bathroom. All villas include an outdoor shower garden, and select units feature additional family rooms.
- Enhanced Outdoor Living: The previous plunge pool has been expanded to a 36-square-metre (388 sq. ft.) swimming pool, optimally positioned to showcase the ocean vistas. A new pergola fitted with a custom-designed round swing adds an Instagram-ready spot for lounging, dining, or simply basking in the sun.
- Stylish Architecture and Interiors: Contemporary furnishings, including iconic pieces such as the B&B Italia armchair, elevate the visual appeal. A sophisticated mix of contrasting materials and textures, soft organic lines, and elegant architectural curves blend each villa harmoniously into its natural surroundings.
Each Beach Villa includes a host of complimentary features, such as daily fresh fruit, Kuda Spring bottled water, tea and coffee, twice-daily housekeeping with evening turndown, and beach essentials for children aged 12 and under.
For guests seeking a seamless and indulgent island retreat, the Bed & Breakfast package is available, offering a lavish buffet breakfast each morning at Café Huraa. This is included for two guests per bedroom (or four in a family villa or bungalow, and for all guests in suites). The package is available for stays up to 20 December 2026, subject to availability.

Setting the standard for sustainable luxury, the resort has once again been recognised as the Maldives’ Leading Green Resort 2025, marking its third consecutive win at the prestigious World Travel Awards.

Guests may also encounter hawksbill turtles grazing on coral at nearby turtle points.
- Coral Planting & Restoration Workshop – Conscious travellers are invited to participate in meaningful conservation work through coral planting.

- Discover Scuba Diving – From beginners to advanced divers, the island provides access to over 30 dive sites across the region, led by certified PADI instructors. Guests may dive among coral pinnacles, explore historic wrecks, and visit iconic spots such as Hanifaru Bay, famous for sightings of manta rays and whale sharks.

Through this partnership with the Olive Ridley Project, guests can feed turtles, learn about conservation challenges, adopt a turtle, and contribute to protecting this endangered species.
- Night Snorkelling – For a truly unique underwater adventure, the resort offers night snorkelling excursions led by the Marine Educator. As the reef transforms after sunset, guests will discover a different side of marine life, spotting lionfish, resting parrotfish, and other nocturnal sea creatures illuminated by torchlight.
Located in one of the world’s most spectacular hubs of marine biodiversity, Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu promises an unforgettable escape. With the Discover Coco offers, travellers can enjoy 35% savings on their villa stay, making it the perfect time to plan an extraordinary Maldivian getaway.
