Spend a truly unforgettable stay in the Maldives at The Residence Maldives, a 5-star hotel located on Falhumaafushi Island in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll. You will be staying in a luxurious villa, either on the beach or perched on stilts. Two restaurants and a bar serve fine cuisine from around the world, with 24-hour in-villa service. The spa and kids' club allow you to relax as a couple or as a family. Facilities include a diving and watersports centre and a gym.

Rooms

The resort's villas are located on the beach or on stilts. All villas have a terrace. The décor is contemporary, with refined details such as woodwork, large bay windows and handcrafted artwork.

Please note: for safety reasons, accommodations on stilts are exclusively reserved for adults.

Beach Villa

The Beach Villas are set along the coast, surrounded by soothing greenery. Enjoy direct access to the beach with a palm fringed play area for your little ones. They are equipped with a double bed, private bathroom and a spacious living room that leads to a private terrace where you can relax with breathtaking views of the ocean.

Overwater Villa with Pool

This villa on stilts comprises a double bedroom and bathroom. The wooden terrace allows you to dive directly into the ocean or slip into the private pool. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and island bath.

Water Villa with 1 Bedroom and Swimming Pool

This villa on stilts has a double bedroom, a large living room and a bathroom. From the wooden terrace you can plunge straight into the ocean or slip into the private pool. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and a freestanding bathtub.

Restaurants & bars

Two restaurants invite you on an extraordinary journey of taste with specialities from around the world, refined dishes and gourmet meals. Enjoy tuna tartare, foie gras, seafood platters or Wagyu beef. On the beach, order a veggie burger, vegetable tempura or a made-to-order pizza. At the bar, enjoy a cocktail with nachos or calamari.

Half-board

Includes breakfast and dinner.

The Dining Room Restaurant

In the main restaurant, you can enjoy sophisticated, modern fusion cuisine with your feet in the sand. Exotic, vitamin-packed salads, plates of nachos or calamari, pizzas, burgers, curries, biryani... The surroundings are as enchanting as the flavours of the world.

Café Del Sol

If you want to spend some time with loved ones eating Mediterranean specialities, you should head to the Café del Sol. You can enjoy tapas, pizzas, hamburgers and homemade pasta without even leaving the pool.

The Beach Bar

Enjoy all the dishes, starters and desserts from the main restaurant at the Beach Bar, located below the infinity pool. Order refreshments during the day, refined tapas before dinner and creative cocktails to round off the evening.

The Falhumaa Restaurant

Standing alone at the end of a 230-metre-long pontoon, this restaurant on stilts is all glass, giving the impression of floating on the water. The menu focuses on grilled meats and seafood, accompanied by fine wines.

Activities & lifestyle

There's no shortage of activities on Gaafu Alifu Atoll. Sail from island to island, dive the coral reef, go water skiing or kayaking, relax at the spa or take a yoga class...

The hotel has a beautiful infinity pool that seems to flow into the sea. The spa on stilts has a sauna, hammam and several massage rooms. For those who prefer a more adventurous lifestyle, there are plenty of water-based activities on offer, including dolphin cruises, visits to nearby villages, jet skiing, water skiing and windsurfing. The hotel also has a 5-star PADI centre, a gym and a kids' club.

Discover the destination

The phrase "tropical paradise" is sometimes used in exaggeration. However, when it comes to the Maldives it is nearly impossible to use over-dramatised language. This beautiful, vibrant and peaceful archipelago blossoms in the heart of the Indian Ocean. These islands are home to fine-sand beaches bordered by coconut trees, warm, glass-clear waters, and breathtaking seabeds. Composed of atolls and islets that stretch between the Laccadive Sea and the Sea of Oman, the Maldives are a haven of peace where you can relax and contemplate nature. From Malé - the dynamic capital - to the desert atolls, the Maldives invite you to an idyllic getaway.
