Lil' Sharks Kid's Club
The Kid's Club is perfect for allowing your junior explorers some time to themselves. The Standard isn't just about giving mum and dad some fun in the sun. From the super-fun inflatable water park found out in the shimmering lagoon, through to kite flying and jewellery crafting, there's something for every kid here.
Older kids will also enjoy spending some time with likeminded individuals in the Teen Zone, while the resort babysitting service can give parents a break from tiny tots.
Happenings
The Standard like to call them “Happenings” whereas we prefer “unique experiences”. This resort is full of them. Take your pick from this array of added activities.
Coconut fishing
Watch in wonder as a local expert whips off their shoes, dons a sarong and shimmies free-hand up a coconut tree to retrieve the bounty at the top. From here you’ll take your coconut over to Todis where the juice will be extracted and transformed into a mouth-watering cocktail, served in the same coconut.
Traditional Boduberu
Immerse yourself in island traditions. Expect an evening of tribal beats, chanting, and dancing set out on the soft white sand in front of the Todis Bar. Choose to join in or watch from the sidelines.
Standard Pool Party
The Standard have been throwing legendary poolside shindigs in their LA and Miami haunts for over 20 years. Now you can experience one, island-style!
Turtle Expedition
Spend your morning leisurely gliding alongside majestic green sea turtles as they go about their daily activities.
Starlight Snorkel
Snorkelling with a difference. We can all picture what it’s like to see the kaleidoscopic wonders of the deep lit up by the warming sun. However, under the cover of darkness, some even more fascinating reef dwellers come to life. Marvel at the submarine sights and, when you break the surface, make sure to look up and take in the stunning starry skies.
Lucky Dolphin Cruise
Over 20 species of dolphin call the azure ocean waters around the Maldives home – as the smartest animal in the world, they know better than to go moving away from this special spot. On this tour you’ll hopefully spot a few pods playing in the water. But, if not, there’s always the on-board cocktail bar and the chance to top up your tan.
Island-Hopping
There is a plethora of islands in the Maldives. While it may be a stretch to examine them all, this tour will certainly help you learn more about the local communities of the Raa Atoll.
Sunset Cruise
Take advantage of one of the most incredible golden hours you’re ever likely to see. Camera’s at the ready, the sun’s getting real low.
Weddings
Make your big day a truly unique celebration. Choose to tie the knot in one of the most enchanting destinations in the world. The staggeringly beautiful Huruvalhi island beach is waiting to stage your perfect day.
The Standard have a range of wedding options available including trained wedding planners, so you can have as much or as little management of your day as you like. Craft the wedding that's perfect for you with the help of the amazing resort team and this extraordinary locale.
