Finolhu
Finolhu
Finolhu offers chic, vintage style accommodation and a lively atmosphere 30 minute by seaplane from Male.
Finolhu offers a choice of Beach Villas and Over Water Villas, all of which can accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 children, making Finolhu a great choice for families or for goups of friends.
All villas have high-speed Wi-Fi, luxury bathroom amenities and various great in-room features.
Beach Villas are right on the beach and have hammocks in the gardens whilst Over Water Villas come with or without pools and with or without sunset views.
There is some great dining on offer at Finolhu including the fabulous 1 OAK Beach Club.
Every night, 1 OAK comes alive to vivid colour with jaw-dropping performances by resident artists: acrobats, mermaid, stilt walkers and more.
What's so Special?
There's always plenty of going on and plenty of surprises at Finolhu.
If you're looking for a Maldives resort with a sense of cool and a social atmosphere along with a great All Inclusive, then Finolhu could be a great choice.
Bear in mind
Getting to Finolhu from Male is either a 30-minute Seaplane journey or a 20-minute domestic flight followed by a 10 minute speedboat ride.
Lagoon Villas
Finolhu’s Lagoon Villas (145 sq. m) offer dreamy ocean views, eclectic furnishings and pops of retro cool – a Bohemian-style pad with panoramic views.
With bags of overwater space, there’s plenty of room for spreading out, whether chilling on your King-size bed or catching some rays on your private deck.
Kick back and watch a movie on one of the satellite TV channels, pump up the jams on your Marshall sound system or do your best lounge lizard impersonation out on the deck.
Facing the open seas, with nothing but water between you and the horizon, views from these villas will blow you away.
Lagoon Villa can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children below 12 years old.
1 Oak
Pick your spot on the beach or by the pool and start the day with a long, leisurely breakfast at Baa Baa Beach Diner, grazing from the live cooking stations.
Come back in the afternoon to refuel and refresh. Then when evening comes, settle in for a night of MOJO MAGIC with gourmet bites and exotic cocktails at 1 OAK, the lively heart of Finolhu.
Cinema Retro screens classic movies and live international sports, while gamers can hit the bar’s old school arcade classics Pinball or PacMan.
Of course, for spectacular 'rooftop' views, there's the upstairs bar and lounge where you can woo your special someone under the stars.
Every night, 1 OAK comes alive to vivid colour with jaw-dropping performances by resident artists: acrobats, mermaid, stilt walkers and more.
There are weekly retro pool parties, monthly Full Moon tribal sandbank events and – several times a year – exclusive multi-day extravaganzas, featuring appearances from the world’s top performers and hottest DJ's.
Baa Baa Beach Diner
Increase the volume and count on the greatest meal ever when you step inside Baa Baa Beach Diner.
Located in the heart of the island, the diner provides live cooking stations over breakfast, lunch and dinner for guests who like to enjoy a groovy day with infinite views of the Indian Ocean.
Surround yourself with themed nights from Saturday to Friday, offering seafood nights, French, South American, South Asian, Middle Eastern, Italian and International concepts during the evenings.
Kanusan
On the tip of the island with Polaroid-worthy panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, Kanusan is Finolhu’s premium dining venue.
Kanusan’s deck dips you into a dazzling dining experience. Whet your whistle on classic favourites such as Mandarin roasted duck and larb gai – with a refreshing Kanusan twist.
Kanusan features a totally fresh overwater bar area and two dining areas. There's a chilled indoor dining space, and an open lower deck which provides the archetypal Maldivian experience of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of the sea.
Fish & Crab Shack
The Fish & Crab Shack gives you the ultimate laid-back dining experience. Awesome food, a chilled-out vibe and an unreal location on Finolhu’s 1 km long sandbank.
Sip wine as you savour a bucket of fresh prawns, or share a sumptuous seafood and vegetable plate with the whole crew - a must while you're in the Maldives!
You can also sample the range of delicious signature cocktails, perfectly paired with one of the Shack’s signature dishes for a truly singular experience.
Delicious fresh flavours in a spectacular setting. Feet in the sand and smooth beats in the air for the ultimate Finolhu experience.
Baa Haa Grill
Want flavours that will rock your Casbah? Groove on over to Baahaa Grill for a feast that'll take you all the way to North Africa.
Serving up the flavours of Maghreb – we're talking grilled meats, tajine, mouth-watering mezze plates and more – it’s a journey through the cuisines of Morocco, Tunisia and beyond, all without leaving the fine sands of Finolhu.
Select from succulent seafood and tender cuts of meat with the spice rub of your choosing, all with a luxuriously laidback beachside vibe. Come early and be shaken and stirred by the masterful Martini mixologist.
Which Airlines do you use?
We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.
Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.
Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.
The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.
We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.
Regional connections from across the UK are available.
Which Hotels do you use?
We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.
We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.
We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!
That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.
Do I need a visa for the Maldives?
If you're travelling on British Passports, no visa is required for stays of up to a month.
Please double check before travel however as visa requirements are subject to change at any time.
How long have you been organising holidays to the Maldives?
We've been organising tailor made holidays to the Maldives since 2009.
We use a very reliable local partner in the Maldives for transfers and to assist our clients in the Maldives. They are a family owned company who are one of the most established and respected local travel companies.
We keep up to date with developments in the Maldives with regular visits and through our local contacts.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
The driest time of year to visit the Maldives is normally between November and March. This is high season in the Maldives and you can expect dry and settled conditions most of the time.
What board basis should I choose in the Maldives?
You'll find there is a wide range of options in the Maldives, from b&b, Half and Full Board, All Inclusive and variations on All Inclusive options.
Because of the isolated location, dining in the Maldives is expensive by almost any standard. Bear this in mind when comparing meal options.
How do I get to my resort in the Maldives?
Some resorts in the Maldives can be reached by speedboat from Male. This makes for a convenient and easy transfer. You'll be met at the airport on arrival and taken on foot the short distance to your boat transfer.
Seaplane transfers in the Maldives are used for islands further afield. These are usually in 18-seater De Havilland Twin Otters which fly in daylight hours only, departing from the seaplane port next to the International Airport.
