The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives

Awesome stay at one of the beach villas. Super nice service - enjoyed the stay very much

We had such an amazing stay at The Standard Maldives, it’s one of those places that’s just fun from start to finish 🌴✨ The snorkelling was honestly incredible, some of the best we’ve experienced in the Maldives. There’s so much marine life right off the island, you can easily spend hours in the water. One of the biggest highlights was the manta ray tour such a surreal experience and 100% worth doing if you get the chance. The spa experience was another standout the massage was absolutely amazing, super relaxing and exactly what you want when you’re in paradise. What really made the trip though was the staff. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, but a few people truly stood out: Eva, our main host, was incredible from the moment we arrived so helpful, organised and genuinely caring. Shakhawat at Onda was hands down the best server always attentive, friendly and made every meal feel special. Billial at Todis kept the drinks coming and always with a smile 🍹 Hemsa makes the best cocktails on the island! And Shingi, you are such a live light, she manages Onda, was amazing and clearly runs things so smoothly. When it comes to food, Onda and the BBQ Shack were definitely our favourites consistently delicious and great atmosphere at both. One thing to note — it’s veryyyyy family-friendly. There are lots of kids, which is great if that’s what you’re after. But if you’re coming for a romantic honeymoon-style escape, it might not be the perfect fit. Overall, The Standard is such a fun, vibrant resort with a great mix of activities, amazing staff, and beautiful surroundings. We had the best time and would absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a more social, energetic Maldives experience 💙

Fantastic experience for our honeymoon. Made better by the lovely staff including but not limited to: The best host: Eva The best cocktails: Hemsa and Billal The best restaurant host: Shack

I recently returned from a second trip to the standard. I traveled solo and had a wonderful time. The weather was amazing and the island and resort is beautiful. The new restaurant is nice although I do really miss the sushi restaurant as it was my favorite! As always, the people at the resort make staying at the standard special. My guide Poula was so helpful and always smiling. He made my stay such a pleasure. I can’t recommend this resort enough!

We chose The Standard Maldives for our honeymoon and it exceeded every expectation. From the airport pickup, to the seaplane, to arriving by boat at the dock… every moment of getting there felt like part of the experience. The food was next level. We ate at every restaurant and not one disappointed. Onda was the standout! the chef’s special was mesmerising, so fresh and beautifully considered. The server Shaak across Onda, BBQ Shak, and beyond was phenomenal, he remembered exactly what we liked every time, which made every meal feel personal. The grilled prawns and beef at BBQ Shak were cooked to perfection. Hassan and Doris at the buffet were both just lovely. The whole dining team, led by Sai, was exceptional. Our room was stunning and housekeeping even mopped the floors each night - such a thoughtful touch that kept everything fresh and cool. Our host Youssef was an absolute gem - so responsive and helpful with organising trips, spa bookings, and everything in between. The spa team including Yuni, and yoga teacher Ashook, were brilliant. Bar staff Inaz and Neha made me the best piña colada of my life. We also loved Schingy, Aarrack, Roshan, Naheem, and Yugeh — every single interaction was warm and fun. (We’ve done our best with everyone’s names but spellings may be off — you know who you are, and we hope you do! 💛) The turtle snorkelling with the captain (so I call him) was pure joy. The staff here don’t just do their jobs….they make you feel like you matter. Already scheming a return to see the mantas next time 😉🌊🐠
