White sandy beaches, luxurious water villas, coral reefs teeming with marine life, these are just a few of the things when that come to mind when thinking about the Maldives, and Hideaway certainly delivers on all fronts. Located on a long crescent shaped private island the aptly named Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa  is a 60 minute flight from Male, and boasts some of the best beaches, cuisine and marine life in the Maldives. 

The Resort's 103 villas are located both on the beach, and over the water, and feature stunning views of the lagoon and reefs. Most villa's also have a private pool, in addition to the hotel's 2 infinity pools. What we love about the villa's are the spacious interiors, Bulgari amenities, and the privacy. The 2 bedroom villas are also perfect for families with children, and most one bedroom villas can also accommodate extra beds.

That being said, the most stunning feature of this resort is it's unique double reef, which means it has some of the best snorkelling that can be done from the shore in the Maldives. The protection of the double reef ensures calm waters in the lagoon even in choppy seas, and the distance from Male and other commercial area's means the water is pristine, and teeming with hundreds of fish. Some of the species seen on the reef include sea turtles, stingrays, baby reef sharks, and if you're lucky manta rays. 

Hideaway also has 4 restaurants, including the award winning Samsaara restaurant, and an award winning spa. The culinary team includes multiple chefs from India to ensure the indian and vegetarian food is not a problem for guests from the subcontinent. PureLuxe member rates include half board with a dining credit that can be used to 3 of the restaurants. 

PureLuxe Member's also get access to special rates including transfers and much more. Call your travel manager to know more or make a reservation.
