The Standard, Maldives

A playful, design-driven island escape where relaxation meets social adventure

Resort Overview

The Standard, Maldives is the brand's first island escape — a vibrant, design-led 5-star resort on the private Huruvalhi Island in Raa Atoll. Of its 115 beach and overwater villas, every one features a private plunge pool and lounge deck, with signature playful touches like a bathroom disco ball. Set around a turquoise lagoon and a naturally protected house reef, the resort blends barefoot relaxation with social energy: all-day dining at Kula, authentic Maldivian flavours at overwater Guduguda, beachfront grills at BBQ Shak, and late nights at the glass-floored Beru Bar nightclub. The Standard Spa offers a communal hammam, hydrotherapy, and nine private treatment rooms, while complimentary bikes, a tennis court, a kids' club, and manta-ray excursions keep every guest engaged. It's equally suited to honeymooners, friends, and families seeking stylish, unpretentious luxury.
