Our take
I recommend The Residence Maldives on Falhumaafushi to families and couples willing to travel south for a quieter atoll. Many rooms have private pools, there is a Clarins spa, a house reef, a diving centre, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre. The journey is a domestic flight of about 55 to 70 minutes to Kooddoo, then a speedboat. The 9.5 rating comes from 70 reviews.
- ✓Consider booking a private pool villa for an enhanced sense of privacy and luxury during your stay.
- ✓The house reef here rewards guests who snorkel it slowly, especially near the drop-off close to the jetty.
- ✓Unwind in a treatment at the Spa by Clarins for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
