A one-kilometre bridge connecting two island worlds, thatched-roof villas rising on stilts, and airy, light-filled spaces-The Residence Maldives redefines minimal intervention for maximum immersion in nature

AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL BRIDGING ISLANDS

Few destinations evoke the sense of an unspoiled paradise quite like the Maldives. This chain of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean, with its sugar-white beaches, cerulean waters, and lush tropical foliage, has long been the ultimate getaway for those seeking seclusion and luxury. Nestled within this idyllic landscape is The Residence Maldives, a resort that redefines barefoot luxury, seamlessly blending contemporary architecture with the raw beauty of nature.

As you cruise along the one-kilometre bridge—the longest of its kind in the Maldives—it becomes clear that this is more than an architectural feat. Spanning the atoll and linking Dhigurah and Falhumaafushi, the bridge embodies a radical rethinking of Maldivian luxury, where movement is effortless, where the journey itself is as extraordinary as the destination. This passage redefines the notion of island seclusion, allowing guests to experience two distinct landscapes in a single, seamless retreat.
