The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives

Great location, amazing rooms, good choice of restaurants, we had an amazing family holiday. Well organized for children

Excellent stay with 2 small children. Quality and space for beach villas with plunge pool was excellent. Massive amount of choice for food at the buffet every evening. Kids club was great with lots of different activities. Beautiful resort which is relatively new and in good condition

Our 9-day stay at the Standard Maldives in December 2023 was great. The hard product is solid, as you would expect, and as pictured, but what sets The Standard apart is the staff. The service, and the quality of the food were above our (relatively high) expectations. We had all inclusive plus and so tried all of the restaurants more than once, all of them great, with some individual strengths at each of the restaurants, but all on average better than what we expected, having stayed at similar resorts in the past. The service was often four seasons like if that makes sense. On top of that the dive center was brilliant (special thanks to Rio and Zee), and the kids club too. The things we didn’t like about our stay are too small to mention or outside of the control of the hotel, so in summary two thumbs up!

The resort is stunning, looks almost unreal. Everywhere in the island is picture perfect. From the moment of our arrival in the airport, seaplane transfer to our island arrival, everything was seamless. We were greeted by staff upon our arrival at the resort. Youssef, our excellent coordinator, gave us a nice overview of the island and resort and gave exceptional service throughout our stay at The Standard The staff was professional, organized and hardworking. They treated the guests like family and went out of their way to make sure guests are having a good time. The resort is very clean, food is excellent and healthy. Walkways to go to the over the water villa is very picturesque and beautiful. One can easily see several marine life (manta ray, baby sharks, different kind of fishes) as you walk in these walkways Our two bedroom over the water villa was like a dream come true; beautiful, large, modern and a patio with a pool to die for. Water is clear turquoise, with plenty of marine life just below our villa. Don’t hesitate to book this resort. It’s a paradise.

Everything was fabulous. The whole team have excellent service quaility but special thanks to Fawaz - from first moment to arrange our last minute airplane to all other details - have been amazingly helpful and helped us for a forgettable family trip. Thank you Fawaz and The Standard

Where to begin? The most perfect first Maldives vacation all thanks to The Standard Maldives. You get greeded by a Standard employee at the airport that explains the entire transfer process to the resort. Upon arrival you get an employee assinged to you for the entire stay that is available via phone/text at any time. The property it's self it's gorgeous, very well upkept. The food selection is great, the buffet has breakfast, lunch and dinner offers plenty of options even if you decide not to dine at the chargable restaurants (for all inclusive). What made this experience so phenomenal is the entire staff. There wasnt a single person that wasnt friendly, helpful and accompating. Special shout out to the kids club employees Daria, Sofia and Nuzu. Our son was kept enternatined the entire time and actually cried when we had to leave. That to us was the biggest compliment to this resort. Shout out to Lee, who is the pool waiter. He made our stay absolutely great by making sure we were not left thirsty. Everything at this resort is so planned out that you are always well taken care of. The island is perfect and small and the scenery is breath taking. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this resort. If you want a great experience, book The Standard Resort!

The Standard is a beautiful resort. There is a bit of an identity crisis in terms of marketing. It's not the all-night ravey Ibiza-style resort they promote. It's a little quieter and more laid back. There are lots of families, but there is plenty of room for everyone and if you want a quiet and secluded time, you can have it. The personal concierge is a great touch and there are many activities for all levels of engagement. I highly recommend the All-Inclusive option as there are many perks and discounts that you can take advantage of. If you're going for only a few to 5 days, I recommend arranging your dinner reservations before you get there. Guduguda and the BBQ Shack fill quickly. When you're there, please slow down. Everything is on island time and so is the service. Everyone is very friendly and pleasant but it seems there is a 5-7 month turnover for staff, so they are constantly re-training. It's not a problem, just that different staff know different things. Also, if you're watching the YouTube videos on the place, keep in mind those people are probably getting some kind of compensation. You can't just fly drones everywhere. There are no longer speakers in each room The snorkel equipment in the room isn't the best, but those issues are of very little consequence when you're in paradise. The Standard is amazing. We rarely return to a place, but we are already making plans to return. You'll love it!

Had a lovely time with my family of 5 at this resort. Yoga with Karan and pool activities with Mikey were highlights. Kids club was good but not as active as hoped.

The Standard Maldives was nothing but amazing. From the pick up at the airport, the lounge in the sea plane terminal, the swift check in, buggyservice to the villa, personal island host, greate villa in great condition, cool interieur, a lot of design detailes all over the resort, a lot of activities for the kids (like the floating inflated waterpark by the beach, table tennis, beach volleyball, tennis court, billiard etc.), really good food with several resturants to choose from, several bars with great drinks, but the best of all was two things: The pictures perfect island and the outstanding service from the hotel staff. I will in perticular mention Bavan and food and beverage mananger Chowdhoory, who gave us personal service in world class. This hotel is playing in the champions league of hotels. We will be back. -TRB-
