The Fresh Looking Rockstar

Abode2 takes a trip to the new look Rockstar Villa at Seaside Finolhu, the five-star island playground resort in the Maldives, favoured by the likes of Cara Delevigne & Rita Ora for its luxury barefoot experience.

Translated as “sandbank”, Finolhu is one of the finest island resorts located in the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll, famous for its mesmerising diversity of reefs, submerged cliffs, and small, round underwater hills known as “thilas”.

The five-star Finolhu reopened on November 1, 2020, as the first member of the Design Hotels in the Maldives. Already known for its playful spirit, the fully refreshed resort offers casual beach club vibes and an exceptional entertainment programme in one of the Indian Ocean’s most stylish settings.

Finolhu is a member of the Seaside Collection. A total of eleven exclusive resort and city hotels in the Maldives, the Canary Islands, Valencia and Germany belong to this family-owned collection, which is represented by the seahorse as its logo since its creation in the 1970s.

Following a multi-million Euro makeover of the resort, which unveiled a new vibrant kaleidoscope design concept in November 2020, the chic and generously-sized, two-bedroom overwater Rockstar Villa has become one of the most sought-after accommodation offerings in the Maldives.

With playful aesthetics characterised by a blend of colours and patterns that complement the island’s natural beauty, the Rockstar Villa is located at the end of the jetty for extra privacy and spectacular ocean views.

Creating an experience in which guests feel like a Rockstar, they can relax with family and friends, enjoying a fully-stocked bar, a private deck with an 8-metre-long infinity pool, a Marshall sound system and a seventies-style disco ball. There is also the opportunity to take the Rockstar experience to the ultimate VIP level by booking the resort’s resident DJ for private pool parties.

When it comes to hitting the beach and exploring the island, the Rockstar Villa comes with its own Rockstar Buggy, which has been modified to look like a classic car.

Book the Rockstar Villa from £2,229 per night (based on a seven-night stay in September 2021). Book online at Finolhu.com/
