Seaside Finolhu
OUR ISLAND
Three shades of blue
In translation Finolhu means “sandbank”. Opened in 2016, Finolhu is one of the best beach resorts in Maldives. It stretches across four islands and its beaches are about two kilometres long. Tropical plants line the sandy paths of the main island like in a botanical garden. As a guest in Finolhu you immerse yourself in different worlds, and not just underwater. With its 125 private villas and four restaurants, our resort is as varied as the coral landscape of Baa Atoll.
Those looking for tranquillity can surrender to the music of the waves and the turquoise blue of the sea. In the evening they can take a stroll across the sandbank to the Crab Shack and enjoy the sunset with drinks and snacks and that Robinson Crusoe feeling – highly instagrammable. Those who – like dolphins – prefer doing things as a family or group can create an eventful day for themselves, including diving, snorkeling or a trip by boat or catamaran. Or what about a casual evening at one of our parties by the pool bar? Cara Delivingne and Paris Hilton have already been there. Yes, Finolhu is definitely a place for individuals, but its fascination has side effects. After your holiday on our sandbank you’ll probably have difficulty getting used to ordinary everyday life again!
Summer all the year round!
It is one of 26 natural atolls in the Indian Ocean. Baa Atoll lies on the edge of the ocean, overlooking a deep channel. Its geographical location is unique worldwide. Reefs, submerged cliffs and so-called “thilas” – small, round underwater hills – offer a natural marine habitat for about 1200 different reef species. It’s no coincidence that Baa Atoll has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. The tropical climate guarantees an average air temperature of 29 degrees and water temperatures of 24 degrees. Summer all year round!
All the space you need
Relax with your feet in the sand as you look forward to embarking on another culinary journey to exotic dining destinations. Welcome to Finolhu – our tropical island paradise, where the atmosphere is playful and the experiences are inspiring. From the solitude of your own villa directly over the ocean or on the beach, plan your day’s adventures – laid back and tranquil or vibrant and exciting. Whatever happiness means to you, you will find it at Finolhu.

It’s all about freshness
Luxury means a wealth of choice. In Finolhu you can choose between four different restaurants, depending on your mood. Our chef has created a unique concept for each of them, but what they all have in common is a fine blend of craftsmanship, individuality and an international style that appeals to everyone. The freshness of the products is particularly important to him and his team.
Baa Baa Beach Dinner
It’s quite possible that you’ll experience a spectacle here as early as breakfast time – for example when a group of dolphins takes centre stage. At the Baa Baa Diner you’ve got a front-row seat. Located right by the sea, our diner is the culinary centre of Finolhu. In the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening international dishes are freshly prepared at various sections of the buffet. A wide selection of dishes delights vegans, vegetarians, fish fans and meat lovers alike. On various evenings, our chef and his team serve themed specialties: Italian, Asian, Maldivian, Seafood and more. Really delicious!
Breakfast: 7.30 am – 10.30 am
Lunch: 12.30 pm – 3.00 pm
Dinner: 7.30 pm – 10.30 pm
Kanusan
This is our fine-dining restaurant. At Kanusan the culinary focus is Asian. The restaurant is located right in the Indian Ocean and can be reached via a short wooden jetty. It has its own bar where you can enjoy an aperitif while you get in the mood for dinner. And you can do this either on the outside veranda or inside the restaurant, which is atmospherically showcased with dimmed light. A place for romantics, where anything can happen while you enjoy authentic Asian flavours. A marriage proposal, for example.
Dinner: 7.30 pm – 10.30 pm
BaaHaa Grill
At the BaaHaa Grill our chefs take you on a culinary trip to North Africa. A sensuous feast for the palate, for the nose and even for the ears, when the sound of the fresh meat sizzling on the table mixes with the lapping of the waves. Maghreb spices such as cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric unfold an all-round feeling of wellbeing – for example in a tajine or delicious mezze dishes containing fish, meat and vegetables – and perhaps the best Hummus outside Tunisia and Morocco.
Dinner: 7.30 pm – 10.30 pm
Crab Shack
Just a minute. Doesn’t this little Crab Shack, made of wooden planks, remind us of our dream of living on a desert island? Who strolls from the main island over the sandbank, reaches it in approx. 20 minutes – a great walk. At noon you can enjoy shrimp in the sun with a glass of wine or just have a drink and a few snacks.
Lunch: 12.30 pm – 3.30 pm
Bar: 12.30 pm – 5.00 pm
Beach Bar
This is where it all happens. If you want to hear laid-back sounds you can enjoy the music here from early in the morning until late in the evening. Exotic cocktails to the beats of top DJs? Off to the Beach Bar! Pool parties inspired by the slogan “White nights? Off to the Beach Bar! A marriage proposal on our upper deck directly under the starry sky? Off to the Beach Bar. Performances by world-class artists? Off to the Beach Bar. Or just lying in a hammock and letting the music flow over you? Off to the Beach Bar.” Yes, as you’ve probably noticed, the Beach Bar is the unmistakable heart of the resort. It gives Finolhu a further unmistakable feature among the resorts in the Maldives – it’s as if this bar comes with a touch of Ibiza and Mykonos. In its indoor and air-conditioned section film classics and international sporting events are shown live – after all, there are events you enjoy sharing with other people.
Milk Bar
Wherever your journey takes you in Finolhu, you’ll always pass by the Milk Bar. What could be more convenient? A milkshake after a game of tennis. A protein drink after your workout or an espresso when you take a break. Our Milk Bartender is looking forward to your visit!
Opening Hours: 9.00 am – 6.00 pm
Lagoon Villa
Gazing out from this tasteful Lagoon Villa, the view over the calm waters of the lagoon with its infinite shades of blue can be addictive. With 145 square meters of private space directly above the water, you are free to spread out and relax on the sun loungers of your secluded wooden deck, while a private jetty leads directly into the sea. Take another drink as you enjoy your favourite music from the state-of-the-art Marshall Sound System. Life here is simply beautiful!

Beach Villa
That casual island feeling is guaranteed in our Maldivian Beach Villas. Without rising from your bed, you can look into your green garden and the beach beyond with the turquoise water directly behind you. The subtle change of shapes and shades of blue and green and the apricot tone of the setting sun provide lightness and freshness to this fine 205-square metre garden villa. At the back, a spacious bathroom with tub and shower includes an open-air area where you can look at the stars while taking a shower.

Rockstar Two Bedroom Ocean Pool Villa
These luxury villas bring to mind a quote from Oscar Wilde, the rock star of literary figures: “One should give in to temptations, because who knows if they will come again.” Our Rock Star Villa is perhaps the most beautiful temptation in the Maldives. It’s located at the very end of the wooden walkway, so it offers seclusion, but as it comes with its own buggy for the guests’ private use, there’s never any need to walk. And, as you probably already guessed, everything is a bit bigger here: 460 square meters of living space, two spacious master bedrooms, an eight-metre long infinity swimming pool, a private bar, bathrooms with bathtubs and outdoor showers, a 40 inch flat-screen TV and much, much more. And then there’s the view – the sea as far as the eye can see. Ideal for families and friends. Surrender to temptation and rock your vacation!

MOTORIZED WATER SPORTS
Water skiing and jet skiing – the ideal combination of glamour and action. It’s no coincidence that they feature in so many scenes in the movies – for example the unforgettable Roger Moore, who shot over the water with a jet ski as James Bond in “The Spy who Loved Me”. In Finolhu we have a wide range of motorised water sports for glamour, action and that special adrenalin kick. Here you can shoot up into the air with an X-Jet Blade, go out on a speedboat tour with Captain or simply cut a stylish figure while you water ski. Whatever you do – it’s tremendous fun!
Jet Ski
Explore more of the atoll surrounding Finolhu on an escorted Jet ski tour. One of our experienced instructors will be on hand to help you familiarize
yourself with the controls on a test drive, and then you’re free to hit the water alone.
Jet Ski Excursion with Guide
This 1-hour discovery ride has one mission in mind: a close up encounter with the resident pods of Spinner and Bottlenose dolphins. If you are lucky enough to find these fun-loving creatures, they will play in your wake so close that you can almost touch them – a truly humbling experience.
X-Jet-Blade
Nothing matches the thrill of hydro flight. Our waterpropelled jet blade elevates aquatic adventurers several feet above the sea’s surface over the course of a heartpumping 15-minute flight. The ultimate James Bond adventure!
Wakeboard, Kneeboard & Water Ski
Our Water Sports Center offers a variety of wakeboards, kneeboards and water skis to suit all skill levels.
Speedboat with Captain
Enter the world of powerboat adventures and board our speedboat for a truly exciting adventure. Experience the rush of adrenaline as you snorkel over crustal clear reefs, seek out dolphins and turtles or simply bask in the sun and indulge in the fresh ocean breeze.
Seabob
For the more adventurous snorkeler, the Seabob allows you to glide underwater at high speed. This underwater scooter gives you a dolphin’s perspective on life beneath the waves, and can be used either when snorkeling or diving. Travel further faster and see more of the reef and the amazing underwater life from another point of view.
Banana & Tube Rides
If you’re seeking a thrill, our Water Sports Center offers a plethora of inflatables suited to speedboat tugging, offering both exhilaration and fun for all that participate.
Surf´s Up!
This offer is good for intermediate and experts and definitely an experience you do not want to miss. Grab your surf board and gear up for an epic ride.
Parasailing
Parasail up into the air and fly over the crystal clear sea. Discover Finolhu and the beautiful view of the Baa Atoll from a completely new perspective.
Diving
Life under water is more touchy-feely than you might think. Did you know that fish can hum, whistle, rumble, chirp, squeak, purr and grunt? That a shark’s sense of smell is about ten thousand times sharper than that of a human being? That dorados, as marine biologists found out, develop an increased appetite when they listen to music by Mozart? That rays enjoy being touched? During our trips you will not only get to see a lot, but also learn a great deal about the underwater world. Baa Atoll is the world’s greatest hotspot for manta rays. From May to November dozens of them come to Hanifaru Bay, only 30 minutes away by speedboat. And those who dive with them will remember the experience for the rest of their lives.
Spa
For your wellbeing we have put together a range of beneficial massages. Depending on your individual wishes and requirements, we at Finolhu, a featured Maldives spa resort offer an option for every physical type, from the classical Swedish massage to Thai massages and the sun cooler. Our therapists know what’s good for you! We’ll be happy to advise you individually.
ATOL protects packages with flights.
The TTA protects ATOL packages and accommodation and transfer packages.
These are provided at no extra cost so you can book knowing you’re in the safest of hands.
