The Residence Maldives
Beachfront and overwater villas on Falhumaafushi, with a secluded lagoon setting, island dining and reef adventures.
About
The Residence Maldives is a private-island resort on Falhumaafushi in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, also known as Northern Huvadhoo Atoll. White-sand beaches, a turquoise lagoon and surrounding coral reefs create a secluded setting in the southern Maldives, close to the Equator. The resort combines traditional Maldivian architecture with contemporary interiors and modern comforts. Beachfront and overwater villas offer different ways to experience the island, from stepping onto the sand to descending from a deck into the lagoon. The setting suits both couples seeking a quiet retreat and families sharing an island holiday. Guests can enjoy resort dining, relax on the beach, snorkel, join island-hopping excursions or explore nearby dive sites and their marine life. The resort arranges air-and-sea arrival transfers: a published 55-minute domestic flight from Velana International Airport to Kooddoo is followed by a 7-minute speedboat journey. A direct 90-minute private-charter seaplane transfer is also offered, subject to availability. Flight schedules and routes may change, so arrival arrangements should be confirmed with the resort.
