The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi

Designed in harmony with the natural environment, the resort seamlessly blends traditional Maldivian architecture with contemporary elegance and modern comforts. Luxuriate in the privacy of the resort’s beachfront and over-water villas that offer an oasis just steps from the sand, or the pleasure of slipping straight from your deck into the cool, clear waters to reach your own private lagoon.
Embrace the destination through our unique dining experiences and a myriad of activities – from lazing on sun-kissed beaches to snorkelling, island hopping or exploring the remarkable marine life in many nearby dive sites. Whether seeking the perfect couple’s retreat or a memorable family holiday, surrender to the enchantment of The Residence Maldives.
The resort’s 94 villas draw their design inspiration from the island’s lavish beauty, expressed in thatched roofs, natural materials and lush fabrics. Classic yet modern in style, with high ceilings and French windows, each is an airy, light-filled cocoon, balancing a sense of intimacy with stunning 360-degree views. Bespoke furnishings, accented with local artefacts and wall art, sit comfortably alongside the modern creature comforts that are a standard in all villas. A heavenly way to stay in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
