When planning our honeymoon, we wanted somewhere unforgettable—luxurious, private, and truly unique. The Maldives had always been a dream, and choosing Club Med Finolhu Villas turned out to be the perfect decision.
We flew with Singapore Airlines via Singapore before arriving in Malé, the capital of the Maldives.
Imagine stepping off the plane and seeing a speedboat waiting at the airport to whisk you straight to your island resort—that’s how our journey to Finolhu started. It’s surreal and sets the tone for an adventure where everything feels effortless and extraordinary.
From the moment we arrived, we were swept into a world of crystal-clear waters, lush tropical surrounds, and the kind of barefoot luxury you always dream about. With only 52 villas, you truly feel like you have the island to yourself. We chose Club Med Finolhu for our honeymoon because it combined privacy and seclusion with access to exciting activities, incredible dining, and the lively energy of its sister property, Club Med Kani, just a short five-minute speedboat ride away.
The team at Club Med went above and beyond to make our honeymoon feel special. From matching T-shirts to a beautifully decorated bed and even breakfast served in our private pool, every little detail was thought of.
Whether you’re staying in a Beach Villa or an Overwater Villa, you’ll be holidaying in style.
Beach Villas (Sunrise or Sunset): Perfect for couples who want direct access to the sand and sea. Spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for barefoot mornings on the beach.
Overwater Villas (Sunrise or Sunset): Iconic Maldives luxury. You can laze in your private pool or on your bed while gazing over endless turquoise waters.
All villas come with luxurious fittings, large baths, outdoor showers, and the most comfortable beds you could imagine. Plus, you have a dedicated butler (GO’s in Club Med talk) who can arrange tours, breakfast or dinner in your villa—or even on the beach.
Insider Tip: The keyless villas use a special wristband for entry. No more worrying about keys or cards—you can jump in the water or head to the bar completely carefree.
One of the highlights of staying at Finolhu was the food. The Motu Restaurant is a true Maldives honeymoon dream—suspended over the water with a glass floor to watch the marine life below. By day, it’s casual, but by night it transforms into a fine dining experience with international cuisine that changes daily.
Other dining highlights include:
The Vehli at Club Med Kani: A buffet with international flavours that change every day.
The Kandu at Club Med Kani: A la carte dining that’s relaxed yet refined.
And of course, the bars:
The Poolside Bar: Perfect cocktails, chilled Champagne, or even a wine tasting—all served with ocean views.
The Motu Bar: Inside the restaurant, with the same glass floor ocean views. The perfect place for a romantic nightcap.
One of the best things about Club Med is the famous GOs (Gentils Organisateurs). They’re there when you want them—organising activities, excursions, and entertainment—but they also completely respect your privacy if you’d rather hide away in your villa.
During our stay we tried:
Free snorkeling excursions in the Maldives’ crystal waters.
Yoga on floating pads in the main pool—a completely unique experience.
A short speedboat ride to Club Med Kani, where we could access extra dining, entertainment, and activities whenever we wanted. Free transfers run all day long, giving you the best of both worlds: seclusion at Finolhu and a lively vibe at Kani.
And the magic didn’t stop when the sun went down. Each evening, Finolhu offered something different to enjoy—whether it was live music, cocktail evenings, or themed dinners. But the absolute highlight for us was the beach BBQ under the stars. Picture this: toes in the sand, a gentle ocean breeze, freshly grilled seafood, and twinkling fairy lights overhead. It was one of the most romantic dinners of our honeymoon and a memory we’ll never forget.
Our honeymoon at Club Med Finolhu Villas was everything we dreamed of and more: private, romantic, luxurious, and full of unforgettable experiences. From the breathtaking villas and fine dining to the attentive but never intrusive staff, every detail was perfect.
Whether you’re looking for an intimate retreat or a honeymoon with a little adventure, Club Med Finolhu in the Maldives is truly the best of both worlds.
💫 If you’re dreaming of your own Maldives escape, I’d love to help you bring it to life. From choosing the perfect villa to arranging those little touches that make it extra special, I’ll make sure your honeymoon is every bit as magical as you’ve imagined.
Let’s start planning your once-in-a-lifetime journey to Club Med Finolhu Villas, so all you need to do is relax, unwind, and fall in love with the Maldives.
Peace of mind
