Our take

I recommend Finolhu to couples and families who want a stylish resort in the UNESCO biosphere of Baa Atoll. More than half of the beachfront and overwater villas have private pools, Beach Kitchen serves international favourites, and there is a house reef, diving and a spa. The seaplane from Velana takes roughly 30 minutes in daylight, with a speedboat as an alternative. The 9.6 rating comes from 48 reviews.

✓Consider a private pool villa for an enhanced sense of privacy and luxury during your stay.
✓Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best chance to see diverse marine life.
✓Take advantage of the spa and wellness facilities for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
