White island sands break through the blues of the Indian Ocean, married with the vivid greens of flowing palm trees. The breathtaking island is a playground for nature lovers, who can swim and snorkel along vibrant coral gardens and venture underwater in one of the world’s top scuba-diving spots, coming face-to-face with endangered whale sharks, dolphins and manta rays. Do your bit to help protect the resident wildlife by joining talks with resident marine biologists and nursing injured sea turtles back to health at the rehabilitation centre.

The resort’s three-acre spa complex is one of the Maldives’ largest wellness centres. Led by a team of Ayurvedic practitioners, naturopaths and yoga therapists, the treatments here go far beyond the typical massages and facials, with menu options including acupuncture, mu therapy and alignment rituals. Indulge in a pampering session in an overwater pavilion, join rejuvenating sunrise yoga sessions and take a dip in the adults-only pool, ordering a cocktail at the swim-up bar before stretching out on a lounger in the tropical breeze. Families are made welcome with thoughtful amenities and a fun-packed kids’ club.

The world-class restaurants at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru champion the freshest local ingredients, including eggs laid by the resort’s own chickens and homegrown herbs, fruit and vegetables. Fuel up with breakfast at Café Landaa, returning later for Asian and regional specialities from the tandoor and teppanyaki counter. Blu Beach Club serves authentic Italian pizza and pasta, while Al Barakat is a dreamy overwater spot for shisha and Eastern Mediterranean mezze. Ayurvedic options are available on all menus.

Satisfy your tastebuds whilst taking in sparkling ocean views, strolling out to the Seabar ocean deck for frozen margaritas and tapas-style plates as the sun sets over the turquoise tides and coral reef, or feast on freshly-caught seafood and organic meats at the beachfront Fuego Grill. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, dedicated concierges are on-hand to design a range of bespoke dining experiences, from secluded sandbank barbecues to romantic candlelit dinners in your villa. After dark, watch a big-screen movie under the stars or spot constellations in the night sky with Landaa’s on-site astronomers.

Linking land and sea, the resort’s 103 oversized one- to three-bed villas are positioned either right on the beach or stilted over the shimmering lagoon. Decorated in a calming palette of beach-inspired whites and creams with seashell pink accents, each understated retreat comes with its own private terrace, infinity pool and direct access to the water. Rustic thatched roofs shelter sleeping pavilions with four-poster beds, open-air living spaces, ocean-view lofts and spacious bathrooms indoor and outdoor showers.

For the ultimate stay in paradise, book the ultra-chic four-bedroom Landaa Estate, which hosts up to nine guests for the ultimate in beachside escapism. This spectacular space boasts a cavernous open-plan interior with breathtaking views of the lagoon through floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition to its own private stretch of beach, there’s a two-tier pool with a waterfall, a stargazing lounge, a huge alfresco living space, a rooftop terrace and round-the-clock service from a dedicated personal assistant.
