The Standard, Maldives has earned dual recognition in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards, securing honors from both the UK and US editions of the publication. This achievement highlights the resort’s appeal among international travelers, who evaluated the property based on its design, service standards, wellness offerings, and culinary quality. Situated on a natural island in the Raa Atoll, the resort is noted for its direct access to a vibrant house reef and its focus on blending relaxed, barefoot living with modern hospitality.

The recent launch of Onda, an overwater Mediterranean restaurant, has further bolstered the island's dining portfolio, contributing to the positive feedback from voters. This culinary addition complements the resort’s existing wellness programs, which feature specialized treatments like the Turkish Hammam and Reiki healing. By integrating these diverse experiences into a comprehensive all-inclusive model, the property continues to distinguish itself as a destination that prioritizes both creative atmosphere and guest-led comfort.

Raa Atoll·luxury

Your Maldivian dreams are about to come true at The Standard's first island escape. Located on Huruvalhi Island in Raa Atoll — just a 35-minute seaplane ride from Velana International Airport — this oasis offers a unique blend of relaxation and social life, perfect for a romantic escape or a getaway with everyone you know. Whether an overwater villa floating above the lagoon or settled on a pristine sandy beachfront, each of the 115 villas features its own private lounge deck and plunge pool. Spend your days snorkelling the naturally protected house reef — home to 98 types of coral and over 220 species of marine life — or dive deep on a boat excursion, with proximity to Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve renowned as one of the world's largest manta feeding hotspots. Relax in the indoor hydrotherapy oasis at The Standard Spa, complete with communal hammam, aroma steam room, daily yoga and nine private treatment rooms. From Mediterranean bites at Onda to authentic Maldivian cuisine at Guduguda, all-day dining at Kula and fiery beachfront grills at BBQ Shak, then end the night at Beru Bar — an overwater glass-floored nightclub. Listed among the Best Hotels in the Maldives by Condé Nast Traveller.
