If the Maldives are the pearls of the Indian Ocean, Four Seasons Resort Kuda Huraa is one of its rarest gems: a perfectly rounded incarnation that is true to itself and its setting; prizes outstanding service above short-lived gimmicks; and embraces each guest’s stay with an almost familial devotion. A strong marine theme runs throughout all the activities and facilities: surfing, diving, turtle and coral conservation, SUP yoga and The Island Spa’s Healing Waters treatment menu to name a few. Arguably more important, both word and deed are aligned when it comes to the ocean: a commitment that includes taking solid steps to preserve its surrounding marvels and operating as honesty and ethically as possible. A fragrant island that enchants all who visit, Kuda Huraa is a surf haven, a safe family sanctuary, a romantic retreat, and a place where visitors return year after year seduced by its indescribable magic.
