The Resort’s design is a pure expression of function over form, characterised by clean lines and lack of unnecessary elaboration, curves, carvings, or decoration. The pure appearance is complemented by the very deliberate orientation of each building cutthroughs in the vegetation, ‘picture’ frames created by cross beams, extremely private gardens, tall ceilings and seemingly endless jungle paths – that each combine to reveal the raw beauty of the island in tantalising instalments.
The Resort was designed by visionary Sri Lankan architect, Murad Ismail, and showcases a simple, contemporary blend of traditional Maldivian and Sri Lankan forms. The airy buildings each adhere to regional styles – from the 45‐degree pitch of the high thatched roofs to the use of coral walls. (Four Seasons received approval from the Maldivian Government to recycle the coral used from a redevelopment project and painstakingly revived the ancient Maldivian building techniques on the external walls of the villas.) Entry to each residential domain is via its own turquoise gate with traditional coral walls and lush vegetation providing maximum privacy.
Landaa Giraavaru’s vast natural wilderness incorporates 102 thatched bungalows and villas of contemporary Maldivian design. Modern conveniences include wireless high‐speed internet, 42‐inch plasma TV, audiovisual system with DVD player and MP3 cable, and espresso machine.
Beach Bungalows with Pool (27 units / interior 75m² / exterior 91m²) have a spacious garden with plunge pool and undholi (traditional Maldivian swing).
Beach Villas with Pool (26 units / interior 137m² / exterior 260m²) have a 12m‐lap pool, extensive private garden and outdoor, sand‐floor living pavilion with seagazing loft accessible via a spiral staircase.
Family Beach Villas with Pool (4 units / interior 164m² / exterior 260m²) have a study room with sofa bed (plus underbed) and shower room.
Water Villas (28 units / interior 86m² / exterior 53m²) and Water Villas with Pool (10 units / interior 86m² / exterior 67m²) are stilted over the lagoon with decked outdoor living space and sea‐gazing loft.

Two‐bedroom Land and Ocean Suites (2 units / interior 280m² / exterior 400m²). Land‐based, open‐plan living/dining pavilion (plus library, kitchenette and bathroom) links via a wooden walkway, 36m² pool and al fresco dining pavilion to two ocean‐based, en‐suite sleeping pavilions, each with dressing room and outdoor shower.
Two‐bedroom Royal Beach Villa (1 unit / interior 310m² / exterior 890m²) has a Master pavilion with indoor/outdoor bathroom, kitchenette, outdoor living/dining pavilion and separate guest pavilion. The large garden has a 20m‐lap pool with ‘floating’ dining table, beachside bale, courtyard with massage beds and stretches of white sand beach.
Blu Restaurant and Blu Bar (Italian)
On Landaa’s western tip, overlooking the lagoon, Blu serves contemporary Italian cuisine for lunch and dinner. White interiors contrast with the blues of the surrounding sky, ocean and lagoon. A ‘sunset’ swimming pool separates the restaurant and sand‐floor bar (open all day).
Al Barakat (Lebanese and Moroccan)
Named after North African scholar who made Baa Atoll his home in the 12th century. Perched over the lagoon by the main jetty, it serves Lebanese and Moroccan mezzés, grills and stews for dinner on two rooftop terraces under a canopy of stars. The ground floor Shisha Bar is open to the sea, with curtained sofas and ornate lanterns – an atmospheric setting for pre‐dinner drinks or Turkish coffee and Shisha pipes.
Cafe Landaa
Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner within three thatched pavilions separated by reflecting ponds. The vast breakfast buffet includes Asian, continental and international selections with ayurvedic‐labelling and dosha‐specific teas and tonics. Lunch and dinner feature Indian and Asian specialties; a separate Teppanyaki counter opens for dinner only.
Fuego Grill
A simple, torch‐lit evening venue with teak tables and chairs set in the sand overlooking the sea. Fuego serves fresh catch of the day alongside a selection of prime cuts and salads.
Seabar
Standing uncovered in the sea, with steps down into the lagoon, Seabar draws guests nightly from 5 pm till midnight with an easy, breezy vibe and blissfully secluded feel. Watch the lemon sharks and reef fish below, laze on cushions with signature frozen margaritas and snack on tapas‐style platters and light bites. Different DJs keep the lounge abuzz from 9pm.
Five Degrees North
Five Degrees North’s casual bar setting includes a pool table and bar counter fashioned from a dhoni
The Salon
Landaa’s sea‐view salon features a renowned stylist from the Rossano Ferretti headquarters in Parma, Italy, who considers everything from the natural fall of hair to face shape, character and skin tone to create the most flattering, highly personalised results.
Diving
With thila and channel diving, vibrant coral gardens, abundant fish life, great visibility and warm waters year‐round, the Maldives is one of the world’s top diving destinations. Landaa Giraavaru’s isolated location in the remote Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve places guests in close proximity to many virgin dive sites, including over 30 unspoilt coral gardens. It is also just a short boat ride from renowned manta ray and whale shark hotspots like Hanifaru Bay, Bathalaa island and Veyofushi Reef (June to Dec).
