The Standard is the perfect island getaway. The opulent resort is a short seaplane ride from the capital city of Malé, situated on a beautiful private island. The setting presents itself as a blend of tranquillity and thrill, relaxation and adventure.
A heaven for all the water babies out there, your itinerary will include snorkelling in a naturally protected house reef or dive deep on a boat excursion through the local waters. The Standard Spa features a public hammam, an aroma steam room, daily yoga activity, and nine exclusive treatment rooms to ensure that you leave the spa feeling revitalised. The perfect vacation!
I arrived at the port and was whisked away on a yacht to an island, just in time for sunset. Upon my arrival at the resort, The Standard’s Tonic Bar had amazing cocktails to offer, my personal favourites being the Huruvalhi frappes and Ron Turbinado.
