Landaa GiraavaruWelcome to Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. A scenic sea-plane ride from Malé , this verdant, beach-fringed coral island embraces both idyllic retreat and sophisticated pleasures on land and water – from genuine ayurvedic healing in the spa to splashing, sailing or diving in the jewel-like Indian Ocean and Maldives’ most pristine lagoon.

The 102 thatched beach and water villas – with features such as private plunge pools and spacious areas for outdoor living – include two unsurpassed land and sea suites. Enjoy exclusive Four Seasons amenities in a rustic tropical setting featuring private gardens and verandas gazing over tranquil vistas of the lagoon.

The resort exemplifies excellent service and world-class cuisine. Overlooking the swimming pool and beach, the three thatch-roofed pavilions of “Café Landaa” appear to float above the sapphire waters on the north shore of Landaa Giraavaru. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, our chefs create exquisite delights with eastern and western influences. Asian and regional specialties from the tandoor and curry kitchen; in the evening, sushi and teppanyaki are served at dedicated counters in a dramatic water garden adjacent to the restaurant.

Landaa Giraavaru Sand Bank“Blu” located at the western end of the island overlooking a 2-kilometre (1.2-mile) lagoon, “Blu” embraces the essence of the Maldives as the place where the ocean meets the sky. From the restaurant pavilion on one side or the Sunset Bar pavilion on the other, you can watch the sun sink below the horizon. “Al Barakat” Named after Abu Al Barakat Yusuf Al Barbari, a North African scholar who made Baa Atoll his home in the 12th century, Al Barakat serves authentic Arabian cuisine. The restaurant is built over water, off the main jetty. A Shisha Bar is located on the ground level. The main dining area on the rooftop features comfortable low seating.
The Landaa Spa is a resort in itself, providing a comprehensive approach to physical, spiritual and mental well-being, with a special emphasis on yoga and ayurveda. Secluded open-air treatment areas make the lush tropical setting an integral part of the relaxation and treatment process.

For breakfast, lunch and dinner, our chefs create exquisite delights with eastern and western influences.

Spa

The Landaa Spa is a resort in itself, providing a comprehensive approach to physical, spiritual and mental well-being, with a special emphasis on yoga and ayurveda. Secluded open-air treatment areas make the lush tropical setting an integral part of the relaxation and treatment process.

The Spa Complex

Located in the heart of the island and stretching down to sea, the spa complex occupies an elevated 1-hectare (2.5-acre) site, with 10 individual thatched treatment pavilions – four over water, three in a lush garden setting and three in the Ayurvedic Retreat. Each pavilion has its own private relaxation area, plunge pool, steam and outdoor showers. Numerous pathways throughout the beautiful surrounding gardens allow for leisurely walks pre- and post-treatment. The spa also incorporates a beauty salon, juice bar, beachfront resting pavilion and retail area.

Yoga

Yoga at the Resort is a magical experience. Our resident yogi guides beginners and experienced followers through inspiring morning meditation and evening enlightenment sessions from a pavilion that “floats” on the sea. Private sessions are available and the yogi welcomes all guests for discussions on this ancient spiritual practice.

Ayurvedic Retreat

Situated within the spa complex, the Ayurvedic Retreat is designed to stimulate its guests into thinking about, experimenting with and understanding the fundamental philosophical approach to ayurveda. The Resort has worked closely with experts from nearby Kerala, India, to ensure this ancient science of life has been successfully transported to the Maldives. These experienced Keralan and Sri Lankan therapists and ayurvedic physicians are highly trained professionals in ayurveda, including ayurvedic pharmacy, diet, body type, patient approach and the practice of yoga and meditation.

The Ayurvedic Retreat has three individual treatment pavilions designed to take guests on a journey through the physical, nutritional and emotional benefits of the ayurvedic system. In each treatment pavilion, furnished with wooden ayurvedic tables, traditional herbal bathtubs, steam benches and an area for mud treatments, guests are treated to physical and spiritual rejuvenation.

Besides introducing the myriad possibilities ayurveda offers, guests will also learn to integrate some of the processes into their daily lives. At the herbal centre, fragrant gardens are planted with medicinal herbs, trees and flowers. Here, guests can learn about the various oils and herbal concoctions used in the ayurvedic process. The Resort’s resident ayurvedic expert is available to advise on healthier lifestyle options and to design dosha-specific meal plans in cooperation with the Resort’s ayurvedic chef, for guests who wish to experience this ancient science throughout the duration of their stay.

Another specialty is the panchakarma procedure, a series of five therapies that comprises ayurveda’s primary purification and detoxification treatment. Due to the complexity of these treatments and the associated detoxification diet that is essential to its success, the procedure is offered as a 14-day package only.
