Best for an Ocean Adventure
The Residence Maldives

There is no better place to discover the magical underwater world than in the idyllic island paradise of the Maldives. The Residence Maldives, comprising of The Residence Falhumaafushi and its sister property, The Residence Dhigurah, invites travellers to explore the pristine ocean world of Gaafu Alifu Atoll, the largest and deepest atoll in the world. Guests can hop on a sunset dhoni (boat) and dolphin cruise to spot wild spinner and bottlenose dolphins gliding through the waves and as the sun sets over the ocean bask in the kaleidoscope of colours cast across the sky. Connected by a 1km bridge, the longest private bridge in the Maldives, guests can travel freely between the two resorts to enjoy the various offerings from each, dining across all nine restaurants and bars, and enjoy relaxing treatments at the Spa by Clarins.
