The smaller of the two Four Seasons properties in Maldives, Four Seasons Kuda Huraa is also the more intimate and laidback. The style here is that of a luxurious Maldivian village, and after its refurbishment a few years ago, it's now looking superb. The beaches on the island are lovely and there are two gorgeous pools.
The charming rooms range from beach bungalows with quaint brick walls and high thatched roofs to glamorous water villas on the far side of the resort. The furnishings combine tropical luxury with modern design and are sleek and attractive, while all room categories now have private plunge pools. The highlight of the resort is its sublime food, with four superb restaurants, two bars serving small plates and both in-villa and private dining experiences. The exquisite Indian cuisine served at Baraabaru and the delicious clay-oven-baked pizzas at Reef Club should absolutely not be missed.
The spa is on a smaller island a short boat ride across the lagoon. The trip is done on a mini-dhoni that goes back and forth whenever guests want to get there. A kids club and a teens club are both free and children are generally welcomed and made a fuss of wherever they go on the island, so this is a great option for a high-end family holiday. All non-motorised water sports are free, some 40 dive sites are visited by the dive school and the gym is excellent.
