Four Seasons Resorts in the Maldives
Four Seasons runs two flagship resorts in the Maldives — a family-friendly speedboat property in North Malé and a sprawling marine-research-led estate in Baa Atoll. Both deliver the consistent service-and-detail standard the brand is known for, but they're built for very different trips.
Four Seasons' Maldives Roster
Four Seasons operates two flagship resorts in the Maldives plus a single-key private-island buyout. The two main resorts sit in different atolls, use different transfer types, and target different trips. The signature features barely overlap — one is a surf-and-spa speedboat resort in North Malé, the other a manta-ray-and-Ayurveda seaplane retreat in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
| Resort | Atoll | Transfer | Villas | From / night | Meal plans | Lux Pulse | Signature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Four Seasons Kuda Huraa | North Malé | Speedboat | 96 | $950 | BB / HB / FB | 4.7 · 2,555 reviews | Tropicsurf · ŪRJĀ Naturopathy · Forbes Five-Star |
| Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru | Baa | Seaplane | 103 | $1,200 | BB / HB / FB | 4.8 · 2,532 reviews | Year-round mantas · AyurMa · UNESCO Biosphere |
No all-inclusive option is offered at either resort — both run BB, HB, or FB plans. Four Seasons is independent and does not participate in Marriott Bonvoy, IHG One, or any points programme. The canonical value-add channel for cash bookings is the Four Seasons Preferred Partner programme (see below).

Four Seasons Private Island Maldives at Voavah

Getting to Each Resort
How you reach each Four Seasons resort from Velana International Airport (Malé), and the round-trip transfer fare — charged on top of the room rate. Seaplanes fly in daylight only; speedboats run around the clock.
| Resort | Transfer | Duration | Round trip / person | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FS Landaa | Seaplane | ~35 min | ~$900 | Seaplane — daylight hours only |
| FS Kuda Huraa | Speedboat | ~25 min | ~$308 | Speedboat — runs around the clock |
The Four Seasons Preferred Partner Programme
Four Seasons is independent — no Marriott Bonvoy, no IHG One, no Hilton Honors. There is no points programme, no free-night certificate, no elite-status ladder. The canonical value-add channel for cash bookings at either Maldives resort runs through Four Seasons Preferred Partner (FSPP), an invitation-only advisor programme.
What FSPP typically delivers for Maldives stays:
— Daily full breakfast for two, in-restaurant or in-room
— Priority upgrade at check-in (often confirmed at booking on select categories)
— USD 100 resort credit per stay (USD 200 on suites, specialty villas, and Private Retreats)
— Early check-in / late check-out subject to availability
— A welcome amenity on arrival
FSPP applies to cash rates only. Every Four Seasons property worldwide participates, but the inclusions are not bookable through the resort directly or through standard online travel agencies — only via FSPP-credentialled travel advisors. We're an FSPP partner; the same inclusions ship on every Four Seasons Maldives quote we send.
Other channels worth knowing: American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR), Capital One Premier Collection, and Chase Travel all stack similar perks for cardholders. They're credit-card programmes, not Four Seasons loyalty — but they pair cleanly with FSPP if your card is in the eligible tier. Voavah private-island buyouts use a separate Private Retreats sales channel; FSPP perks don't automatically apply.
