Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru is an unspoilt natural wilderness in the remote Baa Atoll – a proposed UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. With vast accommodation compounds and four isolated restaurants hidden down dense jungle paths, the island invites a real sense of discovery.

The Resort’s 102 thatched bungalows and villas are located on the beach, over the lagoon or within the lush interior; features include spacious gardens, private pools, outdoor living rooms and sea-viewing lofts. The 2,5 acre Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat stretches from the heart of the island to the middle of the lagoon. Two Ayurvedic Physicians, a resident yogi and highly specialised team of therapists offer authentic healing and education from 10 land and sea-based treatment pavilions and a yoga deck. All-inclusive 7-, 14- and 21-day Ayurvedic Immersions and authentic ayurvedic therapies are complemented by a full spa menu.

Swim with turtles and dolphins in the pristine lagoon and from June to October, snorkel with mass gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks at nearby Hanifaru Bay. The Marine Discovery Centre showcases pioneering research and conservation projects. Four diverse restaurants - all with ayurvedic options - are complemented by numerous speciality options, from 'floating' platforms to candle-lit feasts on remote sandbanks.
