Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa has won awards for the best Spa Retreat and Beach Resort in Indian Ocean.
The two continental titles were given at the Haute Grandeur Global Hotel and Spa Awards gala ceremony held at the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit hotel on October 27.
Located in the northernmost Haa Alif atoll, Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa offers exclusive, spacious villas with private pool and direct beach access. Accessible by a 50-minute domestic flight followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride, Hideaway also features the one of the few operational private marina in the country.
The spa at Hideaway features 12 private treatment suites, steam room and hair salon set in manicured gardens. For those who love to be active, there are two outdoor pools, a recreation centre with its gym, two tennis courts and beach volleyball court. The resort also offers extensive water sports activities like fishing, diving and a range of excursions.
The 2017 gala ceremony held in Thai capital Bangkok commended exceptional hospitality establishments across seven continents and 172 countries, including the Maldives. Awards were given in 94 categories.
Recognised as the highest accolade a hotel or spa can receive, a Haute Grandeur Award is a guaranteed golden stamp of excellence. Award winners and participating establishments are perceived as exceptional and distinguished by association.
The Haute Grandeur Awards system is unlike any other. Unbiased results are guaranteed through a fair, transparent process that recognises brilliance by means of quality guest feedback rather than the quantity of votes by a panel of judges or the general public. This unique approach to measuring excellence is why Haute Grandeur is in a class of its own.
