The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives is located on its own island. It’s the first Standard resort to open in Asia. Many of the Maldives’ finest luxury hotels are designed for romance and relaxation. While you can find those things in abundance at The Standard, it has a more lively atmosphere than most Maldivian hotels. DJs play by the pool and you’ll find a glass dancefloor by the bar.
With lightly accented colours and clean lines, the decor is modern and very chic. There are 115 villas. What’s more, each bathroom comes with its own disco ball.

Despite the Maldives having problematic laws regarding LGBTQ+ rights, it remains one of Out Of Office’s most popular destinations. The Maldives is made up of a collection of private islands, each essentially run by the resort that occupies it. This unique geography allows for a more private and controlled environment, where resorts can create welcoming and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ travelers.
Out Of Office works with a carefully selected range of resorts in the Maldives, many of which have LGBTQ+ management and a strong commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and luxurious experience for all guests.
These resorts go above and beyond to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community feels welcomed and valued, offering exclusive amenities, private villas, and personalized services in stunning locations. While it’s important to remain discreet when traveling in the Maldives due to national laws, guests can enjoy a high level of comfort and privacy within these resort environments, making the Maldives an unforgettable and increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.
