Nestled in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, one of the largest and deepest atoll's in the world, The Residence Maldives Falhumaafushi is a secluded retreat offering unparalleled natural beauty and exceptional experiences. Popular with honeymooners and couples keen to explore the rich marine life of the surrounding waters.
The resort's 94 beachfront and overwater villas, some with private pool, blend traditional Maldivian design with colonial elegance, while excellent dining options include Falhumaa, spectacularly located over the house reef at the end of a 200 metre long jetty, the most romantic of settings. The real joy of this resort, however, is its location in the Gaafu Atoll, rich in marine life and home to over 1,200 species of fish and coral, including dolphins, turtles and rays. Numerous activities await - from exceptional dive sites to guided snorkelling over the house reef. The hotel is active in many conservation projects including the Protect Maldives Seagrass initiative.

This trip has been one of the most enjoyable trips my wife and I have ever been on. Without question one of the smoothest travel experiences I've had. Dave and the Mahlatini crew know what they're doing. It was super helpful to us that the team coordinated/hired folks at each destination to help us…
We could not have asked for a better trip, it was literally perfect! Going to another country can be a bit intimidating and Jessica had everything planned so we could be worry-free. From the time we got off the plane and had someone waiting for us till the time we checked our bags to come back home…
