Best for: Summer all year round

Hello paradise! Finolhu lies in the Baa Atoll, one of 26 natural atolls in the Indian Ocean and thanks to its fantastic geographical location it claims to enjoy summer all year round. Surrounded by reefs, submerged cliffs and ‘thilas’ – small round underwater hills – the calm waters provide the ideal habitat for an estimated 1200 reef species. It’s obvious why the Baa Atoll has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. But what isn’t so clear is that due to its location, the island benefits from a tropical climate. The average temperate is 29 degrees while the waters stay warm at 24 degrees all year round. So don’t forget to pack your SPF or your swimwear. 

Finolhu has bundles of personality – where else can you sleep under the stars in a bubble tent mere steps from the ocean? And this individuality stretches to its dining options. With four restaurants to choose from your biggest dilemma on this trip is where to visit first. We recommend a gourmet lunch at Crab Shack followed by bubbles at the Beach Club and then dinner at Asian fine dining restaurant Kanusan. Be sure to nab a spot on the veranda to watch the sun set and then under the twinkling sky you can stare at the stars reflecting off the still water.
