In the turquoise waters of Raa Atoll, where white sands meet endless shades of blue, The Standard, Maldives is introducing a new Premium All-Inclusive experience launching in May 2026, offering travellers a seamless island escape where vibrant lifestyle energy meets the natural beauty of the Maldives. As India continues to emerge as one of the Maldives’ fastest-growing travel markets, the resort’s enhanced offering has been thoughtfully curated for Indian guests seeking a dynamic yet effortless island holiday, one that blends exceptional dining, curated experiences and a lively social atmosphere.
The experience begins the moment guests arrive, with champagne on arrival setting the tone for a stay defined by indulgence and ease. The Premium All-Inclusive package features dining across the resort’s diverse culinary venues, with three restaurants available for lunch and five restaurants open for dinner with reservations, offering guests a vibrant culinary journey throughout their stay. Dining reflects the resort’s global spirit, with menus ranging
from Mediterranean flavours at Onda to authentic Maldivian home-style dishes at Guduguda, where guests can explore the rich culinary heritage of the islands. The experience also includes an extensive beverage program featuring premium spirits, wines, cocktails and beers, along with a complimentary fully stocked minibar in every villa, ensuring guests can enjoy their favourite drinks at any time.
The culinary experience is led by Director of Culinary, Nandakumar Dharuman, whose roots in India bring an added sense of familiarity for Indian travellers. Guests can enjoy Indian breakfast options alongside international favourites, while vegetarian and Jain meals can also be prepared on request, ensuring dietary preferences are thoughtfully accommodated.
True to its vibrant lifestyle identity, The Standard, Maldives is known for its lively island atmosphere. Throughout the week, guests can enjoy DJ nights, fire dance performances, bingo evenings and social gatherings that bring energy and excitement to the island. Adding a playful twist to mornings, the resort also hosts DJ sessions during breakfast, creating a relaxed and upbeat start to the day. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary 30-minute spa treatment and one curated island excursion, offering the opportunity to explore the spectacular marine environment and natural beauty that make the Maldives one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Sonika Adlakha, Commercial Director of The Standard, Maldives, commented: “India continues to be an important and growing market for us. With the launch of our Premium All-Inclusive experience, we aim to offer Indian travellers a seamless island holiday that combines vibrant dining, engaging entertainment and the natural beauty of the Maldives.”
Yet beyond the lively social spaces, the island also offers quiet corners and tranquil settings, allowing guests to reconnect with nature and enjoy moments of serenity whenever they wish. Accommodation at the resort further enhances the experience. All villas feature private pools and generous living spaces, offering guests the comfort of spacious island retreats while still being just steps away from the resort’s vibrant dining and entertainment venues. Blending playful island energy with relaxed luxury, The Standard, Maldives continues to redefine the Maldives experience for travellers seeking a resort that offers both active social experiences and peaceful island escapes.
