Remote, stylish, modern and luxurious: this five-star island's high standards and gorgeous beaches rank it as one of the best hotels in the country. The resort's most striking feature is its thoroughly contemporary architecture, which makes the most of glass, steel and sleek minimalist lines to create some gorgeous structures.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa is a city hotel that just happens to be on the beach; travellers looking for rustic or traditional will need to head elsewhere. The 50 rooms – 36 on land and a curl of 14 water villas – are spacious, bright and calibrated perfectly to the needs of the urban nomad, with media hubs, flat-screen TVs and remote-control everything.
The beaches are gorgeous and the island is extremely lush, with thick foliage and coconut palms lining the beach. There's a stunning main infinity pool surrounded by a poolside bar, two main restaurants and a number of private dining options. The Vidhun spa, which offers a fantastic array of massages and treatments, is built around its own pool for spa guests to share. There's also an excellent diving centre, water sports centre, a gym and a range of activities and excursions, so nobody will get bored here.
