THREE SHADES OF BLUE
In translation Finolhu means “sandbank”. Opened in 2016, the resort is unique in the 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.
