Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giravaru Island Resort Maldives

OVERVIEW

A scenic seaplane ride from Malé, this Maldives resort offers 44 acres of unspoilt wilderness flanked by one of the largest natural lagoons in the islands. Snorkel with turtles, manta rays and whale sharks. Join pioneering conservation projects in the Marine Discovery Centre. Immerse yourself in the healing heart of the Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat. Or spend your Maldives vacation hiding away in vast, ultra-private accommodations – on the beach, over the lagoon or in tropical gardens.

For an even more immersive Maldives holiday, stay at both Landaa Giraavaru and Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa – a vibrant garden island infused with traditional village charm. Or cruise between the two on Four Seasons Explorer, the ultimate liveaboard for diving and cultural adventures.

102 thatched beach and water villas, including two unsurpassed land and ocean villas, offer features such as private plunge pools and generous outdoor living spaces gazing across the tranquil lagoon. A turquoise gate with traditional Maldivian-style coral walls stands at the entry to each domain, while lush vegetation guarantees complete privacy.

Living spaces are refreshed by sea breezes in an open-air bale (traditional thatched hut), while guests can sleep in air-conditioned comfort in teak-furnished sleeping pavilions. Wireless high-speed Internet service and plasma televisions add the comprehensive Four Seasons dimension to this untamed tropical setting.

Off-shore, guests have the opportunity to experience the Maldives by sea aboard the exclusive Four Seasons Explorer.

Note for families: Due to their unique location and layout, Water Bungalows and Water Villas are not recommended for children under eight years old.

SPA
Deep in the midst of Landaa Giraavaru, the Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat pulsates with life and wisdom, purity and health. With a strong emphasis on natural healing, the 1-hectare (2.5-acre) complex draws its strength from the surrounding landscape, the integrity of ila’s Beyond Organic products, and the intrinsic spirituality of its therapists and ayurvedic physicians. The Spa's 10 vast open-air treatment pavilions – including three dedicated to ayurveda – are nestled in their own lush tropical gardens or on stilts over the turquoise lagoon. Welcome to the healing heart of Landaa Giraavaru.

Ayurveda – the Indian science of life – is one of the world’s most comprehensive approaches to healthy living. It works by bringing balance to our vital energies – or doshas – through an individually tailored combination of treatments, exercise, diet and lifestyle modifications. With a focus on treating illness, preventing disease and enhancing physical, mental and spiritual well-being, ayurveda teaches us to live with insight and balance.

Set within the Herb Garden, lulled by gentle breezes and healing aromas, the Ayurvedic Retreat is an enclave of ancient knowledge and infinite well-being. Meet with our expert physicians to gain an understanding of your unique body-mind constitution; invest in single treatments or life-changing programmes; visit the Ayurvedic Pharmacy and learn how to make fresh poultices from hand-picked herbs. Above all, discover 5,000 years of wisdom distilled into one deeply restorative practice.

Diving
Known internationally as one of the world's best scuba diving destinations, the Maldives presents divers with one thrilling dive opportunity after another. From the sheer abundance of dive sites around Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa to the proposed UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve near Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, the Maldives' 90,000 square kilometres (34,749 square miles) of consistently warm waters offer outstanding visibility and truly unique diving options. Exhilarating sites include vibrant thilas, exciting channels, coral-filled overhangs and fascinating wrecks, and divers can even watch the seasonal migration of manta rays and whale sharks.

Each of the resorts' PADI Five-Star Gold Palm Dive Centres offers a two-tank morning dive and a one-tank afternoon dive, as well as sunrise, night and other specialty dives, available on request.

Marine Conservation Services
The waters around Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru are home to a breathtakingly beautiful and rich ecosystem. Below the ocean's surface, precious coral reefs ring the islands, where fish painted in psychedelic colours swim, sea turtles coast and dolphins play. Whale sharks and manta rays also venture here to feed on tiny plankton.

Snorkellers, divers and other adventurers hoping to catch a glimpse of these creatures will enjoy more than just a sighting with the Resort's interactive marine programme. Led by Senior Marine Biologist Guy Stevens and the marine biology team, activities in the programme guide guests through the alluring underwater world around the islands. Guests will experience once-in-a-lifetime encounters with a variety of marine creatures while learning about their life and habitat, and will even be able to participate in some of the Resort's conservation projects.

Proceeds from all activities support the Resort's Green Fund conservation and marine research programmes.
