Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

This was absolute heaven on earth and service was impecable.vour butter Hussain was to notch

My partner and I indulged in a 4 night getaway for her birthday and I’m pleased to share that it exceeded our expectations in every way. I already had high expectations from past visits to other Four Seasons but Landaa just blew us away. We had every intention of diving and snorkelling but when we entered our sunrise water Villa our game plan changed and we played reclusive castaways emerging only for indulgent dining cleansing Spa and Yoga and regular submersion in the pristine waters surrounding the island. The staff collectively are beyond words, the level of coordination and anticipation of needs is really textbook perfection. They achieve that amazing balance of being fully involved with your stay but only noticeable when you need it. That is a sign of a truly harmonious and skilled team. We experienced the Arabic restaurant on two occasions it was so good on our first night that we chose this venue as the birthday dinner. As an Australian you believe me when I say the lamb cutlets are as good as you can get. We chose breakfast in the beach club for its serenity, not really a fan of buffets so the intimate service and gorgeous menu kept us coming back across the stay. But back to the room it truly was surreal. Minimalist yet opulent, tasteful and stylish and it feels enormously spacious but not vacuous. The outdoor setting gives you multiple options from full sun to partial shade to full shade which is what we were really hoping for. The pool is long enough to do laps or just float while basking in the sunlight. Everything is thoughtful, the housekeeping immaculate and the amenities everything that you need without being wasteful. There really is nothing that I would be critical of and I would return without hesitation, highly recommended.

Just a wonderful experience as always. Landaa is a beautiful island; every detail is considered to ensure that as a guest, everything is perfect. The accommodation is beautiful and luxurious; the AyurMa is more than a spa - we benefited from excellent guidance from highly skilled Ayurvedic doctors and wonderful nourishing treatments; we had targeted yoga classes every day with the special Dr Giri; ate beautiful cuisine in glorious locations around the island; we played Padel and relaxed on the beach. There’s so much to do here but it’s also fine to do nothing at all except swim or snorkel in the transparent blue ocean. But it’s the staff here that make it an impossible place to beat - you receive the warmest welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The staff have your needs at their heart and centre. They are valued so highly by the Four Seasons organisation and it shows in the way they provide the highest level of service. It’s our fourth time at Landaa and I can truly say we feel as valued as we did on our first stay - Landaa is the only place we return to every year!

I've been lucky to visit Landaa over the past 14 years and there is some special energy on the island which is embraced by all the wonderful, generous and welcoming staff. This trip, I was so fortunate and blessed to be there to experience a very visionary concept of a Buddhist teacher giving daily life talks and meditation. Tulku made it all very real to everyday life and I feel I've experienced something very magic and real. Having the beautiful island to contemplate the teaching was such a gift.
