Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa

Located on Dhonakhuli Island in the Haa Alifu Atoll, Hideaway Beach offers an award-winning 5-star luxury experience. Initially opened in 2005, the resort underwent extensive renovation in 2015 to create a modern yet homely atmosphere equipped with full luxury amenities. The resort can be accessed by a short domestic flight and speedboat ride from Male, or a breath-taking 75-minute seaplane ride.

There are several fine dining options for guests to enjoy. The main Matheefaru restaurant offers international buffets three times a day, alongside the three a la carte options: the Meeru bar and grill; Samsara Asian fusion restaurant and sunset dining at the pool café.

The majority of the villas are overwater, with some beachfront options also available. Hideaway beach offers one bedroom, two bedroom and family villas, meaning there is a perfect option for all groups.

For snorkellers, there is a great house reef teeming with colourful tropical fish. Guests can also hope to see sharks, eagle rays, manta rays and sting rays. The PADI-certified dive resort can also facilitate scuba diving trips, with 28 incredible dive sites in a 60-minute boat ride radius of the island.
