Maldives, in other words can be described as one of the most sequestrated holiday destinations, worldwide. Offering you private islands where only the resort staff and holiday makers are accessible of, everything is private and you get to spend your holidays your way, without any disturbance.
4. Excursions
If ever your stay needs some adventure, get your backpack and wander to the islands near your holiday resort, where you can enjoy and explore the Maldivian lifestyle and meet locals, take photographs to treasure with an island kid from the Maldives. Enjoy your journey with your family while you discover the Maldivian way of life, and experience untouched beaches as you explore.
5. Pollution free environment
The Maldives, as you know it, is a thread of little islands, where luxury meets nature.

You and your family will be safe from all the pollution, in fresh air, where you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
6. Sea and Ocean unlimited
Whenever Maldives Luxury Resorts are on your mind, most of the content would be about the crystal clear waters and the beautiful underwater life you can explore. So if you have a thing for the ocean, Maldives is the place to spend your vacation. From water sports like windsurfing jet ski and banana boat rides or fishing trips with family, to diving into the coral gardens or shipwrecks and snorkeling, Maldives can be enjoyed to the fullest in the turquoise waters with your family since the water stays at a warm temperature of 27 degrees all year long.
7. Kids club
Imagine your holidays, with no need to worry over a single thing, not even your kids. The Maldives Luxury Resorts offer Kids clubs, so you can leave your kids with trained staff to look after while giving your kids some good fun and activities to enjoy. Your relaxation and intimate moments won’t be troubled.
8. No distractions, just relaxing
Having your kids around might not be as relaxing if you are in a city where every place has something the kids long for and would go out of their way to get from you. But in the Luxury Maldives Resorts, everything is designed for pure loosening and even the kids will enjoy the arrant peace and harmony.
9. Yachts, the floating luxury
Well the fact that Maldives is mostly sea doesn’t have to be mentioned, but picture cruising away these waters in a yacht. Jumping off the deck and swimming in the middle of the ocean, exploring different coral sites, fishing with your family and having your catch grilled up for lunch or dinner? All reclusive and all that for just your family in an extremely spacious Yacht. Perfect isn’t it?
10. Safe and sound
Wherever you are, your safety and your family’s well being is most important to you. Maldives has disease controlled environments and the Luxury Resorts are away from civilisation, making it safest to the degree of assurance. Your chances of being attacked by a gun is null because they are prohibited for locals, and most of all, there are almost no land transportation and no space for you or your family to get into an accident at the Luxury Resorts. Keeping safety in mind, Maldives offers you the best of it, effortlessly guaranteeing your kids and family a 100% safe vacation.

Finolhu Baa Atoll launches art lab and teen haven in collaboration with Muza Lab

Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives has announced the opening of its new Art Lab and Teen Hut. These innovative spaces, conceptualised and designed by the acclaimed design studio Muza Lab, aim to enhance the resort’s creative offerings while furthering its appeal to multi-generational families.
The Art Lab and Teen Hut embody Muza Lab’s hallmark approach of integrating culture, colour, and storytelling into design. These spaces seamlessly blend modern aesthetics with Maldivian heritage, providing a sanctuary for creativity, play, and relaxation across all age groups.
Bamboo was selected as the primary material for both structures due to its eco-friendliness and versatility. This choice highlights the natural tones of bamboo, creating a cohesive aesthetic that extends from the interiors to the exteriors. Vibrant, colourful decorations within the spaces stand out beautifully against the bamboo backdrop.
Focusing on creativity and interaction, Muza Lab infused the spaces with varied textures and hues to encourage free-flowing imagination. The Art Lab, nestled within lush greenery, serves as a haven for artistic expression. It offers workshops in painting and pottery, fostering a relaxed and inspiring environment where guests can create with their toes in the sand. The bespoke design incorporates bamboo architecture, open and airy layouts, and elements reflective of Maldivian culture.
The Teen Hut caters to younger visitors aged 12 to 17, offering a dynamic blend of fun and relaxation. This space features state-of-the-art gaming zones, a bar adorned with shells and sea glass for crafting mocktails, a movie lounge, an outdoor games area, and a second-floor music zone equipped with instruments, a stage, and a karaoke machine. Muza Lab carefully designed the furniture and ambiance to appeal to the “Instagrammable” generation while ensuring enough activities to encourage teens to step away from their devices and engage with their surroundings and peers.
Inge Moore, Founder of Muza Lab, noted that the spaces are designed to foster inclusivity and interaction, emphasising their use as venues for workshops, meetings, and collaborative experiences among guests.
Steven Phillips, General Manager of Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives, expressed pride in the new additions, stating, “The Art Lab offers a creative oasis for guests of all ages, while the Teen Hut provides a dynamic space for younger guests to connect, unwind, and create memories. These additions ensure that every member of the multigenerational family can find joy and fullfillment during their stay in our island paradise.”
