The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives, Autograph Collection

The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives offers a return to deliberate, graceful travel. Located in the untouched Gaafu Alifu Atoll, the isles provide refined seclusion where colonial-influenced design aligns with a relaxed tropical setting. Stays are unhurried and intentional, creating space for curiosity and connection in a contemporary interpretation of classic travel.

Accommodation

Thoughtfully designed and carefully detailed, the resort's villas and retreats offer a quiet return to timeless island living. The island villas sit along the beach with wide waterfront views, with both east- and west-facing villas and well as family options. The overwater villas and retreats sit above a clear lagoon between water and sky, offering a choice of gentle, sunlit mornings to the east or dramatic evening colours to the west.

Each villa includes a private pool, a yoga mat, a walk-in shower with a separate bathtub, a personal bar, a 55-inch HD LED television, a high-quality surround-sound audio system, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour in-villa dining, and the dedicated support of the Halcyon Butler service.

The Halcyon Grand Estate is the resort's most expansive offering, a modern manor by the sea with three well-appointed bedrooms touched with subtle notes of period character, a rooftop terrace designed for effortless hosting, and a private pool with direct lagoon access.

Facilities & Activities

Halcyon Spa

Every treatment at Halcyon Spa is personalised, using luxurious, sustainable products and techniques influenced by traditional Maldivian practices. The spa delivers a tailored and unhurried experience, supported by partnerships with local practitioners and leading wellness and beauty brands, all selected to reflect a commitment to sustainability and slow luxury. Guests may also opt to enjoy therapies in the privacy of their villa.

Snorkelling & Diving

Guests can explore the underwater world of the house reef, where vibrant tropical fish in vivid yellows and blues move through clear waters. The resort’s resident marine biologist provides insight into ongoing conservation initiatives that protect this delicate ecosystem. Visitors may also encounter one of the 25 resident sea turtles or join guided turtle-watching excursions to learn about nesting habits, navigation, survival behaviours and the measures in place to safeguard these endangered species.

For those drawn to deeper exploration, the resort offers access to some of the world’s most renowned dive sites. With excellent visibility and abundant marine life, these locations provide memorable experiences for divers of all skill levels.

Happy Kids

While the adults are busy, the kids will be, too. From coconut painting, cooking and sand art to marine biology escapades and treasure hunts, the Halcyon Maldives kids' club offers a selection of children’s activities which ensures younger guests will never be bored.

Restaurants & Bars

Thari

Meaning “star” in Dhivehi, Thari sits at the island’s centre as a welcoming space where Mediterranean ease meets Asian vibrancy. Steps from the shore, it serves fresh, flavour-driven dishes that are generous, warm and rooted in the spirit of island dining.

Yuzu

Suspended above the lagoon, Yuzu offers a focused menu of Peruvian-Japanese fusion, from citrus-bright ceviche to delicate sashimi and balanced, ocean-inspired flavours. Its overwater setting turns each meal into a calm, horizon-lined experience.

Bell Bar

Named for HCP Bell, this oceanfront bar pairs contemporary island style with refined indulgence. Guests enjoy crafted cocktails and rare vintages in a relaxed atmosphere shaped by candlelight, sea breezes and understated elegance.

Yapa Sunset Bar

Next to Yuzu, Yapa offers an easy transition into evening. Taking its name from the Peruvian term for “a little more,” it invites guests to linger over saké, pisco and mezcal cocktails with artful tapas as the sky shifts towards night.

The Wine Room

A relaxed, refined space for culinary discovery, The Wine Room hosts chef-led tastings along with expert sessions in wine pairing and cocktail mixology, offering a deeper look into the craft behind each experience.
