the standard maldives review water villa special scuba diving 2021

What to do
All our outdoor watersports, like snorkeling, kayaking and diving, are available. In accordance with HPA guidelines, all group activities are restricted to single households - just you and whoever is in your villa. It only takes about two tries to pick up most of our water sports skills so be sure to book at least two sessions. Of course there’s always jet skis or you can step it up a bit with some wake boarding or kite surfing. If you would like to get off the island for a bit, our snorkeling or dive excursions are perfect for daytime activities. Better yet, dive right into the local culture by checking out the resorts surrounding local islands. The dive and water sports team can plan any trip you imagine, just let us know where you would like to go.
Spa
We’re open, but no yoga or other outdoor wellness programs. Recover, play, chill or explore. The Standard Spa, Huruvalhi continues the Standard’s tradition of communal bathing, and do-it-yourself services accessible to all. Our indoor hydrotherapy playground boasts a communal hammam, cypress aroma steam room and contrast plunge shower to complete the circuit. Our spa deck is the perfect place for a sunrise yoga session or moonlit soiree under the stars. If you really need to chill you’ll find the coolest most comfortable views in our indoor sun lounge providing wide open gazing of the water around. Open a book and your mind from our in-house selection.
ms are about to come true at The Standard’s first island escape. A short sea plane ride away from Male, our oasis will offer 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 in our lagoon or settled on a pristine sandy beach front, each of our 115 villas will feature their own private lounge deck and plunge pool. You will fill your days snorkeling our naturally protected house reef or dive deep on boat excursion through the local waters. Physical activity not your thing? Relax in our indoor hydrotherapy oasis, The Standard Spa, complete with a communal hammam, aroma steam room, daily yoga and nine private treatment rooms to leave your body refreshed. No Standard stay is ever complete without a night to remember; so whether dancing to tribal beats at a beach bonfire or at our glass bottom, overwater nightclub, the only thing that will end the fun is the sunrise.

Food & Drink
KULA
Breakfast, lunch and dinner at KULA, our all-day dining restaurant, is a bountiful and casual affair in our breezy and bright dining room. You can enjoy authentic American, European, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, cooked by our diverse culinary team that hales from around the globe. They cook what they love - and we know you will too.
The dining room is flanked on one side by a large kitchen with live food stations and with views of the pool and the ocean on the other. Lush plants fill the space, a vibrant jungle foliage pattern covers the dining banquettes. Large pendant lights made from palm fronds hang from the peaked ceiling, and two wood communal tables bring guests together.
Guduguda
Our authentic Maldivian Restaurant, GUDUGUDA features traditional celebratory Maldivian food. GUDUGUDA is the Dhivehi (the local Maldivian language) noun for a special shisha water pipe, and also describes the activity of relaxing and conversing while enjoying it.
Traditionally an activity enjoyed by women in the Maldives, we invite all our guests to relax and partake in our adjoining lounge before or after their meal. Our menus are driven by locally caught, seafood-driven dishes - flavorful coconut milk curries with carefully selected complimentary fresh spices and herbs, fresh regional fruits and vegetables, delicate and aromatic rice dishes and perfectly cooked breads.
The restaurant is illuminated by a slatted wood screen emanating glowing light, and inside the space is dark and intimate, softened by sheer indigo drapery and natural woven rugs. Dining in the traditional style, low to the floor on cushions indoors and out, surrounded by rustic Maldivian furniture and decorations, guests are enveloped in warm, authentic hospitality that can normally only be found in domestic Maldivian spaces.
Beru bar
As the sun sets, we invite our guests to BERU BAR, our adults-only, over-water-club which is perched just feet above ocean. We feature a world-class cocktail program which highlights luxurious fresh tropical juices and unique spirits, and crave-able bar snacks like tamarin-coconut prawns and banana blossom fish and chips.
