New Opening: White Sand as Standard

Nothing says romance quite like a deserted beach. And nowhere does deserted beaches better than the Maldives. If you’re after the ultimate Valentine’s escape, look no further than The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, which opened late last year. The Standard’s first island escape is located a short sea plane ride away from Malé – an oasis offering a unique blend of relaxation and social life.

You can settle into one of the 115 luxurious villas featuring their own private lounge deck and infinity plunge pool, fill your days snorkelling the house reef or simply relaxing at The Standard Spa, complete with a communal Hammam, an aroma steam room, daily yoga, personal training and nine private treatment rooms. And when the sun sets, enjoy a romantic meal at authentic Maldivian restaurant GUDUGUDA (opening this month) or dance until dawn at the glass bottom, overwater nightclub. All the ingredients are there for an unforgettable holiday.
