Food and drinks at The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives are inspired by the bounty and beauty of the Indian ocean and regional tropics, and guided by The Standard’s commitment to authenticity. We weave special ingredients throughout our menus, some grown on our own agricultural island, and we offer both local and global cuisines that respond to the stunning landscape and ecosystem. We invite our guests to discover new flavors with us, while also indulging in many hotel classics - dishes that are familiar and comforting to our diverse, sophisticated and well-traveled clientele.

THE STANDARD SPA

Whether for recovery or a reboot, The Standard Spa is a complete indoor hydrotherapy playground complete with a contemporary communal hammam, aroma cypress steam room and contrast shower experience. Chill out with a do-it-yourself mud experience for one or a massage for two while taking in The Spa’s ocean views from our nine private treatment rooms, couples den, and yoga studio hosting daily classes. Tonic, our swim up bar and adults-only pool, is the perfect place to kick-back post treatment or yoga session or maybe for a moonlit soirée. The Sun Lounge experience offers crystals and an apothecary for body and mind that includes skincare and lifestyle products.

Fishing

Fish Like a Local

Learn to fish like a local on this nautical adventure, casting hoop lines off an atoll while enjoying a selection of cold beverages. No experience brings you closer to Maldivian culture than fishing, a vital economic and social island activity. Anchor your boat at the edge of an atoll and learn to line-fish like a local with hoop reels. With one of the world’s most diverse aquatic ecosystems, you’ll be pulling in mackerel, snappers, emperors, jacks, and other nocturnal reef fish and, if you so choose, have the chef grill them up for you back at the resort. Fishing with the kids? They’ll love snacking on fish bait-shaped gummies, sweets and drinking from fresh coconuts

Snorkeling

Turtle Expedition

There are few more exciting and yet leisurely experiences than floating along side a green sea turtle as it gently dines on sea grasses. Take it slow, and go with the flow on an afternoon turtle expedition. Turtles are easy to locate, love shallow water with lots of marine life, and they don’t mind sharing the water with snorkelers. Five of the world’s seven different sea turtle species call the Maldives home. Discover the beautiful Maldivian aquaculture hidden just beneath the surface from a turtle’s perspective.

Diving and Other Water sports

Speedboat-driven water sports are fun for the whole family, especially tubing, while leisurely pursuits such as sunset kayaking in a standard kayak or glass-bottomed boat is always a pleasant outing. Looking for more excitement? Jump on a jet ski and explore the open water around the resort (just watch out for turtles!)
