Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa

Park Hyatt Hadahaa is one of the most remote luxury resorts in the Maldives, on Hadahaa in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, about 400 km south of Malé: a domestic flight to Kooddoo and a short speedboat ride. Its 51 villas, designed by SCDA Architects with natural timber and floor-to-ceiling glass, sit on a small island ringed by a 360-degree house reef, which makes it one of the country's best resorts for snorkelling and diving. It's EarthCheck certified, and there are trips to cross the equator.

On the beach, Beach Villas (165 m²) and Beach Pool Villas (180 m²) are for two, Deluxe Beach Pool Villas (265 m²) add space, and Two-Bedroom Beach Pool Villas (300 m²) take four. Over the water, the Overwater Sunset Villas and Overwater Sunset Pool Villas (115 m²) face the sunset with direct reef access, and the Kiaali Residence (895 m²) sits above the liveliest part of the reef with three bedrooms, an infinity pool and a 24-hour butler.

The Dining Room is the main restaurant, with international and Maldivian dishes. Koi at The Drift serves Asian and Japanese food over the water with sunset views, the Island Grill cooks seafood and meat on a wood-fired grill with tables on the sand, and the Treehouse is a chef's table five metres up, using produce from the organic garden. The Bar has beach cabanas, the Dive Bar sits by the dive centre, and the Vidhun Spa offers Ayurveda and Maldivian massages in five private villas.
