The Standard, an American hotel brand known for its modern clientele, cutting-edge design, and exceeding the definition of 'standard', officially launched The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives on November 1, 2019. This is The Standard's first hotel in Asia, aiming to transform the traditional image of the Maldives as a romantic getaway. The Standard offers a fresh take on relaxation, vibrant cultural experiences, and creative activities, welcoming groups of friends, families, couples seeking something different, and solo travelers looking to recharge in paradise.

How to Get There

          A seaplane ride of just 35 minutes from Velana International Airport will take you to The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, located between Raa and Baa Atolls on a naturally secluded island. Alternatively, you can take a 20-minute domestic flight and then a 35-minute speedboat ride from Dharavandhoo to reach the resort.

A Warm Welcome to The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives

          Upon entering the lobby, which exudes a relaxed atmosphere and is open 24 hours a day, guests will find a selection of exclusive products carefully curated from around the world, including beauty and wellness items, chic fashion pieces, and essentials. Our 115 villas, both overwater and beachfront, each feature an infinity pool and a private sun deck leading to the sea or beach. The shimmering disco ball intentionally placed above the bathtub in every villa symbolizes The Standard's ethos, as you can party anywhere and anytime at The Standard!

          Throughout the hotel, guests will encounter large-scale artworks created by Rostarr, a multidisciplinary artist and a member of the Global Standard Family, filled with innovative creators and cultural leaders.

Dine in Style

          The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives showcases local abundance through a variety of dining options, featuring fresh ingredients sourced from nearby areas and the resort's own island farm, creating both local and international dishes. There are six unique restaurants catering to every desire, starting with GUDUGUDA, the first restaurant to serve authentic Maldivian cuisine prepared by local 'aunties' who preserve this special culinary tradition, focusing on freshly caught seafood, flavorful coconut curries, local vegetables and fruits, aromatic rice dishes, and freshly baked bread. For those looking to enjoy reggae vibes on the beach with delicious grilled dishes made with coconut shell charcoal and specially crafted sauces, BBQ SHAK is the place to be.

          If the island's temperature calls for refreshment, TODIS BAR by the pool serves special cocktails made with 'Toddy', a local Maldivian drink made from coconut sap. As the sun sets, we invite everyone to BERU BAR to continue the fun with creative cocktails, a variety of juices, and Maldivian-inspired snacks, before elevating the excitement with music that invites you to dance on the glass dance floor overlooking the sea, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of Boduberu drums, a traditional Maldivian instrument that heats up the night.

Fun on the Island and Under the Sea

          The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives offers a variety of activities to enjoy throughout the day. Relax with local basket weaving, book a private island for a change of scenery and create special moments, party on a boat against a backdrop of golden skies at sunset, or lounge and watch movies on the beach at night. Water activities are plentiful, including glass-bottom kayaking, jet skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling to explore the vibrant coral reefs around the resort, or night fishing.
