"Finolhu is an island destination in the Maldives that stands out for its vibrant colors and unique offerings. The German-owned Seaside Collection acquired, renovated, and relaunched the property in November 2020. The resort features a playful mix of colors, including a sculpture made of colored glass at the landing jetty and an art installation at the Beach Club restaurant made of dangling ropes in various hues. The resort provides EnChroma sunglasses and snorkel masks to guests with color vision deficiency, allowing them to experience the full range of visible colors. Finolhu is located in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve, home to a vast array of colorful coral and marine species. The resort includes 125 accommodations, with 32 on the island and the rest overwater. It features the Crab Shack, a beach bar and restaurant, and the Beach Bubble, a transparent dome tent. Finolhu offers a unique experience with its colorful aesthetics and marine life."
"Not all islands in the Maldives are made equal; some have natural beaches along only one shore, the others eroded by the sea. Not here. From above, Finolhu looks like a comet shooting across the heavens, its tail formed by a 1.2-mile sandbank. If resorts were ranked solely on their beaches, Finolhu would make the medal podium simply because there's so much sand..."
