The Standard, Maldives
Thought these palm-fringed islands were only for hermit-like honeymooners? Think again – The Standard, Maldives is here to spice up paradise for singletons, groups of friends and families. This is the first tropical venture for the sociable hotel group with a reputation for making mischief in urban outposts like New York, Miami and LA. And though the thrills are more PG, it hasn’t lost its playful touch: daytimes are filled with traditional Maldivian pursuits – snorkelling on the house reef, taking boat trips to nearby isles and hanging in the communal hammam – but by night, you’ll be shimmying to tribal beats by a beach bonfire or boogying in the disco-loving overwater nightclub.
The Standard Maldives occupies its own private island, Huruvalhi, in the Raa Atoll, a short seaplane hop from Malé.
