Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

With a spacious bedroom, a living area and steps that lead directly into the sea, these west-facing villas let you immerse yourself in lagoon living.

Walk off the beach and through a turquoise gate to come home to your walled Beach Villa, where a private lap pool flanked by a cushioned daybed, an open-air living and dining pavilion, and an island-style bedroom sit surrounded by tropical foliage.

This is as close to living on the beach as it gets. Just steps from the crystal lagoon, this family-friendly Beach Villa features a sprawling bedroom and sitting area, a separate study with two twin beds and a sand-floor, living and dining pavilion that stretches out to a private lap pool and sundeck.

Start each morning with a dip in the crystal-clear lagoon waters that lie at the edge of the steps, spend the day lounging on the sundeck or in the airy living room, then take the stairs up to your elevated loft to watch the sun slowly dip beneath the horizon each night.

Perfect for couples travelling together or families with older children, these seaside bungalows feature two separate bedrooms linked by a short corridor, with a private pool and a thatched-roof, open-air bale as your living and dining area.

At the far end of the water-villa jetty, this two-bedroom suite lets you revel in ultimate seclusion next to uninterrupted lagoon and sunset views from your sprawling pool deck, the sea-gazing loft, the dining and lounging areas, or from the foot of your bed.

Savour a relaxing breakfast in your traditional open-air bale, cool off by the pool and take in uninterrupted ocean views from your bedroom in these beachfront bungalows, surrounded by foliage-filled gardens so private you’ll never need to draw your curtains.

Can’t decide whether to stay on the beach or over the water? Don’t worry, you can have both. Hidden down its own sandy, jungle-lined path, this expansive suite features land-based living areas and three lagoon-based bedrooms, perched in one of the most private locations on the island.

Just steps away from Blu Beach in what feels like a world all its own, this two-bedroom villa features a palatial, master-bedroom pavilion, a separate guest bedroom and a central, open-air, living and dining room.

Ideal for getaways with family or friends, this three-bedroom, two-storey estate features a private stretch of white-sand beach, two pools, a Stargazing Lounge and indoor-outdoor living spaces that will make you feel like the island is all yours.
