Located on the remote northern Baa Atoll, Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru offers a tranquil and luxurious escape on a pristine island surrounded by nature. Set on the site of a former coconut plantation, the resort has successfully preserved the island’s original vegetation, allowing guests to experience the untouched beauty of the Maldives. The 103 villas, designed in a unique native Maldivian style, are the epitome of comfort and elegance, offering an unforgettable tropical retreat.

Design and Architecture

The resort’s design blends native Maldivian elements with contemporary luxury. The villas feature steep thatched roofs and traditional coral walls that seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings. The beach villas combine traditional Maldivian forms with modern styles, offering expansive outdoor living spaces surrounded by lush indigenous foliage, providing a true sense of seclusion and serenity.

The water villas are a highlight, with mezzanine-level lofts accessed by spiral staircases, allowing for stunning ocean views. MICD Associates, the resort’s architects, along with One Degree North Landscape Architects, have created a harmonious space that respects the environment while offering a luxurious living experience. The interior design of the guest rooms and public areas, by Design Basis Pte. Ltd., ensures a seamless blend of comfort, style, and authenticity.

AyurMa Wellness Centre

At the heart of the resort lies AyurMa, a groundbreaking wellness concept that takes inspiration from the principles of Ayurveda, yoga therapy, and planetary wellbeing. AyurMa (meaning “Mother of Life” in Sanskrit) encourages guests to nurture themselves and the environment around them. The wellness philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of self-care, ocean preservation, and global wellbeing. AyurMa’s expert team, including Ayurvedic doctors, naturopaths, and yoga therapists, creates bespoke therapeutic programs tailored to individual needs.

The design of AyurMa is inspired by Indian aesthetics, featuring open-air garden pavilions with wooden decking, funa tree branch screen panels, and Indian brass bowls. The overwater treatment pavilions offer tropical breezes and stunning ocean views, making it the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Avalon Collective, the interior designer, has ensured that AyurMa’s design fosters a sense of peace and connection with the natural world.
