By Lizzie Heeley
Introducing Finolhu the new retro-chic kid on the Maldives block! Full of quirky charm this retro-inspired paradise island is beckoning all fun-loving beach lovers. With a fresh new take on a holiday to the Maldives, here are 10 reasons why Turquoise loves Finolhu…
1. Retro Chic Décor
The retro décor with its eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary designs brings a timeless sense of style to the pristine lagoons and rich waters of the Maldives’ Baa Atoll.
2. Quirky Details
We adore the quirky finishing touches to every room- our favourites are the ‘Press for Champagne’ dial telephone (we want one for our office!) and vintage Marshall speaker- you can even tune into Baa Baa FM the island's radio station, take a listen for yourself!
3. Feel good disco vibes
The ex-Ministry of Sound DJ at Finolhu knows how to get the disco-funk vibes going. You’ll find him, with his decks set up in a quirky (turquoise!) VW Campervan, playing feel good tunes to get everyone on their feet!
4. The Cove Club
The Cove Club bohemian-chic inspired spa, a totally chilled out retro revival area where pastel-coloured treatment cottages are called “divans” and named after Sixties divas, like Aretha Franklin, Shirley Bassey and Kate Bush! There’s even a pop art portrait of each woman inside each chandelier-lit treatment rooms!
5. The Fish and Crab Shack
Savour a lip-smackingly good bucket of fresh prawns or share a seafood platter at The Fish and Crab Shack. This rustic beach bar located half way along Finolhu’s stunning one kilometre sandbar is a true oasis only accessible by foot or a boat ride in a traditional Dhoni!
6. Bath with a view
Submerge yourself in total aromatherapy relaxation with the Neal's Yard goodies stocked in your bathroom and enjoy the breath-taking view of the Indian Ocean!
