August 6, 2025: Cradled by the Indian Ocean’s endless hues of blue, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa continues to enchant guests with its unrivalled blend of barefoot luxury and warm-hearted hospitality. With a fourth-consecutive Forbes Five-Star rating awarded in 2024, the resort is an iconic destination that offers far more than idyllic views and picture-perfect sunsets. In 2025, there are even more reasons to escape to this island paradise.
A short speedboat ride from Malé, Kuda Huraa’s charm lies in its intimate village-like setting. Shaded by swaying palms and wrapped in coral-fringed waters, the resort is home to a collection of stunning accommodations, from the Sunset Water Villas with Pools and Deluxe Beach Pavilions to expansive options like the Sunset Three-Bedroom Water Suite and the opulent Three-Bedroom Kuda Estate, designed for families or groups seeking privacy with uninterrupted views.
Wellness seekers can drift across the lagoon to the Island Spa, a serene sanctuary entirely separate from the main island. Treatments inspired by nature, including chakra balancing massages and marine-infused facials, are enhanced by the spa’s peaceful overwater setting.
Dining at Kuda Huraa is equally transportive. Baraabaru, one of CNN Travel’s “Top 10 Maldives’ Finest Tables, helmed by Head Chef Kishan Singh has partnered with celebrated Chef Hari Nayak. A global ambassador of coastal Indian cuisine, Chef Nayak brings his innovative flair to the island through seasonal residencies and a refined dinner menu. Highlights from the 2025 menu include black garlic naan, barbecue butter chicken chops, and a sublime gulab jamun crème brûlée. His next visit is scheduled for November 3 to 8, 2025, when guests can savour regional gems such as Anda Ghotala and Beguni in a reimagined form.
For those drawn to the ocean, Kuda Huraa is a gateway to adventure. Whether it’s learning to snorkel, discovering the thrill of scuba diving, or catching your first wave with the resort’s surf instructors, there’s something for every level of curiosity and courage. In fact, surf lovers should mark their calendars for September 4 to 11, when the legendary Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy returns. The only event of its kind, it pits world-class surfers across single, twin, and thruster fin categories in the famed waves of Sultans. This year’s line-up includes free-surfing icon Craig Anderson, with more names to be announced soon.
Whether you’re drawn by the allure of Michelin-calibre cuisine, pristine surf breaks, or the simple luxury of doing nothing at all, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa in 2025 offers an experience that’s both personal and unforgettable, a place where the horizon melts into memory, and every moment feels like magic.
