With two kilometres of powdery beaches extending across four islands, Finolhu – which means ‘sandbank’ in the local language – is a pristine, all-inclusive island playground that offers couples and families the chance to be as restful or as active as they like.
Unusually, Finolhu’s entry-level villas are those over the lagoon, offering uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, while others deliver direct beach access
For the ultimate indulgence, book a two-bedroom Rockstar Villa, complete with private bar and eight-metre infinity pool
Activities range from water-propelled jet blades that launch you into the air to snorkelling tours, golf simulators, pottery and art classes, even mermaid displays
Choose from four different restaurants, enjoy an outdoor movie night, or join the acrobats and fire dancers at the weekly White Party, held on the hotel’s sandbank at sunset
A seasonal highlight is seeing the hundreds of manta rays and whale sharks that come to feed on the plankton at nearby Hanifaru Bay from May to November
