Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

From the arrival at the jetty, the resort’s staff gave us a wonderful greeting. The resort felt welcoming, and exclusive. The Villa Our original plan was to stay at the beach villa with pool but we changed to the family beach villa with pool. Upon entering the villa, I was impressed by how the villa was merged with nature so much yet somehow felt modern and super comfortable. From the huge indoor space to the pool and the beach, the size of the villa was absolutely massive. The best feature of the villa is the cozy and modern feel it gives you but in a way that you don’t sacrifice space and nature. The villa’s servicing was also very nice, they will clean the pool every day and they also will tidy the sand floor at the pavilion. Dining experience Breakfast: There are two options, Cafe Landaa or Blu. Cafe Landaa’s buffet quality was spectacular, there was a wide variety of food to choose from and most of them were delicious. Blui’s breakfast was also very nice, the Maldivian Breakfast set might not be your style, but it is still a must try menu. My fav restaurant: My favorite breakfast choice is Cafe Landaa, and for lunch and dinner, the best choice for me was Blu. The atmosphere at Blu was very nice because of the beach next to the restaurant and the view of the beach and the water villa. The food was very delicious and didn’t feel too heavy. My favorite dish at the restaurant is the margherita pizza, the pizza had a really nice crust and the sauce was very rich. Overall experience: Across all of the restaurants, the service was very nice, the food’s consistency was very impressive, and the attention to detail was amazing. Service Upon arrival at the jetty, the staff’s welcoming was amazing. While checking in, they offered us coconut water, and gave us a tour of the island with the buggy. The service felt warm and friendly but at the same time it also felt very professional. The service was decently personalized and the interactions felt very natural. The restaurant's service was also very nice and they remembered your personal preference. Anywhere on the island, the service was great and they deeply and truly have the soul of warmth. Things to Do There were a lot of activities to do at the island. The nature of Baa Atoll made it very nice to snorkel and dive. During the “Manta Safari” activity, we saw 20 manta rays snorkeling and it was truly a wonderful experience. There are water sports, fishing, dolphin cruise, spa, and more to do at the island. I don’t suggest trying to do all the activities because it will be very tiring and you won’t enjoy it as much. The main activities you should try are snorkeling, diving, dolphin cruise, manta safari / manta-on-call, and spa. The service at the activities was also spectacular, the staff was friendly, and they will clearly tell you things that you must know. Diving Experience I recommend to anyone who has the physical ability to try the “Ready to Get Certified?” beginner diving course. It’s a course of around 3~4 days that will make you certified as a “PADI open water diver” and it also will bring joy and a new underwater world to you and I guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience. The maldivian sea was very nice to dive, all the aquatic life underwater was absolutely beautiful. My instructor, Ronaldo, was very kind and the passion he brought to us every dive was very nice, and he was also very thoughtful and professional. He helped us to get certified as a PADI open water diver from an absolute beginner, and the journey he brought to us was just pure joy and it sure was an unforgettable experience. I spent almost over half of my time during the stay on this course yet I still think that this was the single most valuable experience for me. Final Thoughts I was there at the start of the rainy season in Maldives, I think that it is still absolutely worth coming here during rainy seasons. I recommend anyone to come here at this resort, it is suitable for couples, families, and just everyone. I think I will definitely come here again, it was a truly spectacular and unforgettable experience.

This resort in Maldives gives you everything you can ask for and more. The Villa Our overwater bungalow was stunning — waking up to turquoise lagoon views and stepping straight off the deck into warm, crystal-clear water never got old. Immaculate, private, and utterly peaceful. Dining All meals were fresh, creative, and beautifully presented and special care was taken by all staff on certain dietary restrictions and also what my son would like. My son also got the opportunity to make his own pizza which was a thrill. The People — especially Sandeep Mohan This is where the resort truly sets itself apart. The service is warm, intuitive, and genuinely personal. Sandeep Mohan deserves a special mention — he anticipated our needs before we even asked and made us feel like valued guests throughout. A real credit to the property. Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru doesn’t just meet expectations — it resets them entirely. The staff went overboard to curate private experiences which just made us feel special. We’ll be back.Red

Excellent! Second time in this resort and you feel like you were in a paradise. Always above expectations. Great locations, facilities spa, villa, service, staff, dining experience… everything. I’m already missing it all and I’m already planning to get there as soon as possible.

Our second stay at Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru, six years after our first, was every bit as magical as we remembered. From the moment we were greeted at the airport to our final departure, the experience was seamless. The staff here manages to be incredibly friendly and welcoming while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. The Warmest Welcome It was a joy to be welcomed back by Mr. Ayoub (Resort Manager), Mr. Nissley (Front Desk), and Mr. Mahardika (aka Dika), the head of Cafe Landaa. Being recognized and cared for in this way made us feel truly at home. The Villa Experience For this trip, we decided to spend our entire stay in a Sunset Water Villa. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a Sunset Family Water Villa for our return visit, which was absolutely excellent. The attention to detail started before we even arrived; we requested an adult floatie be placed in our villa, and they had it ready and waiting. A pro-tip for future guests: you can also ask for your snorkeling sets to be placed in your villa ahead of time so you are ready to hit the water immediately. Additionally, the housekeeping team did an impeccable job with both the morning service and the evening turndown. A Taste of Home: Incredible Indonesian Cuisine As Indonesians who have lived abroad for decades, we were blown away by the culinary efforts of the team. Mr. Dika, Chef Zaid, and Sous Chef Mr. Toljit went above and beyond to prepare authentic Indonesian dishes for us. The Bebek Betutu, Rendang, and Nasi Goreng Kampung were outstanding—we couldn’t believe we were eating such authentic flavors so far from home! Special thanks also to Ibu Rika, Bapak Agus for their wonderful service at Cafe Landaa, and to Pak Putra at Fuego Grill for making our final dinner so memorable. The Fuego Grill is a must try for guests! One of the best food we ever eaten. Tips: if you go for the half board, the Fuego Grill special menu is not included in the half board plan. Spa & Activities * Ayurma Spa: We tried the Landaa Massage and enjoyed it so much that we booked it a second time. It is a must-do for relaxation. * Dolphin Cruise: We highly recommend the morning session. It’s a fantastic experience for both adults and children (there are three sessions a week: two mornings and one afternoon). * Photography: We did a sunset session at 6:30 PM. A helpful tip for future guests: the resort follows "Dhaka Time" (one hour ahead of Male), so the sunset is around 6:50 PM. We paid a supplement (++USD 55) to capture the golden hour, and it was worth every penny. The photographer was professional and very accommodating. Final Verdict We chose to return to Landaa Giraavaru instead of trying a new resort because of the consistency and the people. We are so glad we did. We truly enjoyed every second of our second stay and hope to be back for many more!

We stayed at the Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru March 22-29, 2026 to celebrate a birthday and retirement. We chose an over the water Sunset Villa (411) and included the Romance Package which consisted of a private Sunset Cruise, private Oceanside/Beach dinner and much more. Here is what I said in my Four Season’s Guest Survey. (I’ll leave it at that): “To Everyone, For many, the Maldives is only a dream. The Four Season’s Landaa Giraavaru, a dream made luxurious. Our compliment to you all is this - most will close their eyes only to imagine the beauty of such a place. Unaware that The Four Season’s Landaa Giraavaru is unimaginable in beauty, serenity, heartfelt kindness, attentiveness and expectations. It’s a magical place that has left us speechless. Thank you all for helping create that experience for us and God Bless each of you. Until the next time” * Highly Recommended
