Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa
A private island in the North Malé Atoll, 17 km from the airport.
A place to stay on North
Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa sits on its own island in the North Malé Atoll, about 17 km from Velana International Airport. The island is arranged as a Maldivian village of flower gardens, with overwater and beachfront villa categories spread across the lagoon and shoreline. The resort holds a sixth-consecutive Forbes Five-Star rating (2026) and runs a dedicated wellness facility called ŪRJĀ Naturopathy Island, separate from the main island. There are four restaurants, two swimming pools, an in-house dive centre, and a surf program with access to nearby breaks.

Overwater and beachfront villas
Villas start at 66 m² and run to 169 m² for the two-bedroom water suites. Every category has a private pool, a patio, and sea views. Overwater units include hammocks and steps leading directly into the lagoon.
ŪRJĀ Naturopathy Island
The spa occupies its own separate island, grounded in naturopathic principles of root-cause care. An annual Visiting Practitioners program brings leading wellness teachers and facilitators for private and group sessions.
Four restaurants on the island
Baraabaru focuses on modern Indian cuisine, with Head Chef Kishan Singh having collaborated with visiting Chef Hari Nayak on a menu weaving in Maldivian ingredients. The Destination Dinner moves things off-island to Vabou Huraa for a five-course private-chef experience with house champagne.
Surf program and dive centre
The resort runs surf clinics with expert coaches and organises cruises to nearby breaks. The Dive Centre schedules three dives daily with Nitrox and normal air, and night dives on request. It also hosts the annual Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy.
Families and kids
A kids' club runs on-site. The 90 m² Sunrise Family Water Villa and the 165–169 m² two-bedroom water suites accommodate families, and the Maldives Summer Camp 'Learn With Legends' program runs 20 July to 31 August 2026.
The Kuda Estate
The top accommodation category sits on a private white-sand beach with three villa-style bedrooms, indoor-outdoor bathrooms, and a 139 m² pool curving around an ocean-view deck. It is the resort's largest and most private option.
