Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa  

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa is a private island haven of 96 bungalows –38 poised above the lagoon, 57 with their own pools nestled along the beach, and an expansive Royal Beach Villa. The exotic village-like atmosphere of the 4.86-hectare (12-acre) island resort – aglow with the blossoms of bougainvillea, bird of paradise and frangipani - creates a social environment. Yet Kuda Huraa makes it easy to get away. The Island Spa is a serene hideaway on its own island, just a minute away from the Resort by dhoni (native Maldivian wooden boat).
The Resort’s three restaurants and two lounges offer inspired options to suit any taste, with Indian cuisine, Italian fare and Asian-influenced menus, as well as lighter choices.

For intimate business events or personal celebrations, the 45-square-metre (484-squarefoot) Library hosts receptions for 30, banquets for 20 or conferences for 14 around the boardroom table.
