Finolhu
About the hotel
"Thoroughly luxurious and refreshingly playful, Finolhu is a lively resort with a hearty dose of fun – expect acrobats and pool parties alongside its gorgeous villas and dreamy spa."
This new resort, run by The Small Maldives Island Co, which also manages Huvafen Fushi and Amilla Fushi, has put itself on the map as the party island. Having expected a rather kitsch, contrived atmosphere, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a lively, upbeat and entertaining place where couples and families, as well as groups of friends, all rub along nicely.
The running theme of the hotel is a mash-up of Miami and Ibiza with plenty of driftwood and pastel tones, cartoonish signposts and whimsical touches. Set on a very pretty island, with a sandbank of more than a kilometre stretching out from the beach bar, the owners sure chose a pretty spot.

The running theme of the hotel is a mash-up of Miami and Ibiza with plenty of driftwood and pastel tones, cartoonish signposts and whimsical touches. Set on a very pretty island, with a sandbank of more than a kilometre stretching out from the beach bar, the owners sure chose a pretty spot.
Even by Maldivian standards, a diverse set of activities and dining outlets has been fitted into a relatively small area to ensure everyone has things to do come rain or shine. In addition to the standard facilities – spa, pool, restaurants and so on – there are some smaller additions such as an outdoor gym, an extensive kids’ club and the icing on the cake: an ice-cream parlour.
This is not to say the resort is perfect. In terms of refinement, I wouldn't quite put it in the same league as some of the big hitters. Some of the rooms are a little bland and there are the odd niggling issues, and a few service elements could do with polishing. However, with friendly staff, casual but attentive service and an overwhelming sense of sheer playfulness, even waggishness, Finolhu is a parody of its more serious-minded neighbours, taking itself blithely and creating a carefree atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. I was surprisingly and very pleasantly well and truly won over.

This luxury 2 bedroom villa in the Maldives brings to mind a quote from Oscar Wilde, the rock star of literary figures: “One should give in to temptations, because who knows if they will come again.” Our Rock Star Villa is perhaps the most beautiful temptation in the Maldives. It’s located at the very end of the wooden walkway, so it offers seclusion, but as it comes with its own buggy for the guests’ private use, there’s never any need to walk. And, as you probably already guessed, everything is a bit bigger here: 460 square meters of living space, two spacious master bedrooms, an eight-metre long infinity swimming pool, a private bar, bathrooms with bathtubs and outdoor showers, a 40 inch flat-screen TV, and much, much more. And then there’s the view – the sea as far as the eye can see. Ideal for families and friends. Surrender to temptation and rock your vacation in the 2 Bedroom Villa Maldives!
