Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, 
Hotel of the Year
 
February 1999 - Tatler  presents  an  annual  round  up  of  the  finest travel experiences worldwide  in  the  exclusive  Travel  Guide  each  January.  This 100-page supplement  names  the best 101 hotels around the globe gauged according to service, attention to detail, wonderful food and decoration.

According to Tatler, "Kuda Huraa is all cool, clean lines, and Four Seasons has sprinkled their stardust of attention to detail over it. It has all the elements  about  which  we  fantacise  during  the dog days: rooms that are private  water bungalows built on stilts over the lagoon; beach suites with their own gardens and thatched roofs, because we love expensive simplicity. There's  nothing  so  persuasive  as something resembling a hut to reassure true Brits that they've arrived - at a haven of exclusive understatement."

The  Resort  was  also  presented  with the Gold Palm Resort Award by PADI. This  honour  is  only  given to a select few dive centres around the world annually.  The classification is presented to those that excel in providing quality   services   to  travelling  divers.  A  Gold  Palm  Resort  offers accommodations,  diving  and snorkelling excursions from a dive boat, and a complete  diver  education  program.  In  addition,  a  Gold Palm Resort is committed  to  ensuring  the utmost in environmental awareness, safety, and above all, customer satisfaction.

Healing Waters

As part of the overall US$4 million Resort renovation, plans are now underway  to create a free-standing spa situated on its own private island.

Six  spacious,  cream-coloured  Spa  Pavilions will be positioned on stilts over  the  water  along  the  outer  perimeter of the island spa. Each unit features  an  outdoor courtyard and separate spa pavilion topped by natural thatched  roofs.  Arabic and Moorish detailing on doorways and windows adds to  the  exotic  design. Other unique features include an open-air yoga and meditation  platform  directly facing the ocean for private instruction and individual   training.  Exotic  regional  massage  applications,  indulgent aromatherapy  treatments  and enticing body elixirs will be featured.  With the  emphasis  on  the sea and the use of salt water, innovative treatments will  include  the  use  of  nutrient-rich  sea water and restorative ocean elements.  The  Spa  premieres  December  1999.
