Fiyavalhu Resort Maldives, a private island retreat that captures the true spirit of Maldivian sophistication, has earned notable international recognition by claiming two distinguished honours at the 2025 World Luxury Awards. The property has been awarded the titles of “World Luxury Cultural Resort” and “World Luxury Family Resort,” highlighting its steadfast focus on genuine hospitality, deep cultural engagement, and outstanding family-oriented offerings.
The prestigious awards acknowledge the resort’s emphasis on delivering guest experiences grounded in authentic Maldivian hospitality, local traditions, and meaningful community ties.
Situated on the peaceful island of Mandhoo in South Ari Atoll, Fiyavalhu Resort Maldives offers a unique four-star island escape that is thoughtfully woven into a lively local community. Visitors can experience an uncommon combination of untouched beach serenity and enriching cultural exploration, with direct exposure to everyday island living, traditional craftsmanship, and regional heritage. This harmonious integration of natural splendour and real Maldivian traditions distinguishes Fiyavalhu from typical luxury properties, creating stays that feel personal and enduring.
Tailored for travellers across generations, the resort provides generous family-focused villas, child-appropriate facilities, and carefully designed activities that unite relatives.
