The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi and The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah
Home to some of the best beaches in the world, the Maldives offers an assortment of unrivalled white sandy beaches, and a supreme underwater world, making it the perfect choice for the trip of a lifetime. The Residence Maldives is made up of The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi and The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah, which have been designed in harmony with the natural environment and seamlessly blend traditional Maldivian architecture with contemporary elegance and modern comforts.
Both resorts are connected by a one-kilometer private bridge, the longest in the Maldives, allowing guests to explore both two properties’ facilities as well as the dining options at both resorts. Together, the 94 villas at Falhumaafushi and 173 villas at Dhigurah are one of the largest resorts in the south of the Maldives. Guests have various villa category options to choose from beach villas with their own private beachfront, lagoon villas situated along the shoreline of the island to water villas.
Guests at The Residence Maldives have full access to a charming castaway island, which is the perfect spot to wind down the day, to dine, and enjoy a picnic lunch or an evening BBQ. Nine restaurants and six bars are available across both islands, spanning cuisine from across the globe. Pair poolside relaxation with light meals and tapas at Café del Sol, experience exquisite Cantonese cuisine at Li Bai, spend a romantic evening fine dining under the stars by the water at The Falhumaa or sit in the swimming pool for a light lunch at The Beach Bar.
The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi and Dhigurah are the only two resorts in the Maldives which have the exclusive Spa by Clarins, offering an array of holistic treatments, pampering massages, hair services and spa programmes. Additionally, daily sunrise and sunset yoga classes are available for guests to seek solace for the mind, body and spirit at the overwater treatment pavilions at both spas.
As further steps towards being more eco-friendly, both resorts of The Residence Maldives form part of the ‘Protect Maldives Seagrass’ initiative launched by the Blue Marine Foundation and the Maldives Underwater Initiative, endorsed by the Maldivian Ministry of Tourism to protect the delicate ecosystem of the marine life.
The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi has also installed solar panels to produce its own electricity and to reduce its fuel consumption, and together with The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah is recycling the food waste into compost for the kitchen garden, known as “Earth Basket”, where herbs, fruits and vegetables are grown and incorporated in menus for a garden to table cooking class experience at the Earth Table.
The Residence Maldives is located in Gaafu Alifu, one of the deepest and largest atolls in the world and surrounded by pristine underwater landscapes and colourful corals filled with various marine life, the dream destination for diving. The resort’s own PADI 5 Dive Centre provides beginner lessons for non-divers to guided dives for certified divers to explore the underwater world.
With several untouched dive sites, divers and snorkelers can find various hard and soft corals, sponges, sea fans as well as triggerfishes, parrot fishes, fusiliers, tunas, turtles, barracudas, rays, and sharks. Traditional Maldivian dhoni boats and speedboats are available for both group and private excursions, a must do to see all the wonders the atoll can offer.
