Overview

5-star resort in Gaafu Alifu Atoll with the Maldives' first and only Spa by Clarins

Accommodations

The Residence Maldises offers 94 villas built with traditional Maldivian architecture and modern comforts. Overwater villas on the sunset side provide direct lagoon access and wide ocean views, while beach villas come with private pools and garden areas. Each villa includes a spacious bathroom with a stand-alone bathtub, a private bar, and a DVD player.

Dining

Guests can eat at five venues: The Falhumaa (French cuisine on an overwater deck), Li Bai (Cantonese), Long Island (Italian), The Dining Room, and Sunset Grill. Meals emphasize sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients, and themed dinners like the Friday seafood barbecue at Sunset Grill. The Beach Bar serves island-style cocktails and light meals with a partially submerged seating area in the pool.

Spa & Wellness

Spa by Clarins is the first and only Clarins spa in the Maldives, offering holistic treatments and innovative wellness therapies. Guests can join meditation and yoga sessions on a large open deck overlooking the lagoon. The spa also has a steam room, sauna, and a relaxation area, plus a fitness center with modern equipment.

Activities

The resort's PADI 5-Star Dive Centre runs courses and guided trips to nearby dive sites like Vilingili Kandu and Ekkala Thila. Snorkeling equipment is complimentary, and guests can explore the house reef from their villa ladder. Other on-site activities include the sunset dolphin cruise, cooking classes, movie nights, karaoke, and a kids' club with treasure hunts.
