Accommodations

Discover our new Eco Nature Villas on the private and beautifully preserved island of Gasfinolhu in the heart of the Indian Ocean. The Villas respect all the norms for eco construction. They provide the perfect balance between modern luxury and the natural charm of the Maldives.

Our 52 Villas (151 to 168 sqm / 1 628 to 1 811 sq ft) on stilts or on the beach each have their own terrace and private pool. Lovers of nature and elegance, white sandy beaches and crystal clear sea: our Villas have been designed with your enjoyment in mind.

The Japanese architect, Yuji Yamazaki, and French interior designer, Meriem Hall, designed the Villas around 4 main themes: beauty, nature, elegance and memories.

Built on a fabulous 5-hectare lagoon, the Villas have a Welcome Lounge, gourmet restaurant and magnificent bar round a spacious swimming pool. They have tennis courts, a fitness room, Club Med Spa by ILA and a pontoon for leisure and water sports.

In line with our worldwide goal to respect the local environment wherever Club Med is located, the Finolhu Villas have 6,000 sqm of solar photovoltaic panels, so that Club Med produces a good proportion of the island’s energy requirements with natural sunlight.
