Facilities & activities
Watersports & Aqua Park
Deep Blue Watersports runs the resort's full watersports programme, anchored by the Maldives' first lagoon-based floating Aqua Park.
Scuba Diving
Meridis Dive & Relax, the resort's PADI 5-Star Gold Dive Resort, runs diving across more than 30 untouched sites in Haa Alifu Atoll — including the Dhonakulhi house reef, just 10–30 metres from shore.
Fishing
A dedicated fishing fleet and experienced Maldivian fishermen open up both catch-and-release sport fishing and traditional sustenance fishing, passed down through generations.
Snorkelling
Hideaway's Double House Reef — two separate reef systems split by a natural channel — puts world-class snorkelling within easy reach, with complimentary equipment included in every villa stay.
Tennis & Tennis Lessons
Two professionally surfaced, floodlit hard courts set among tropical views — good enough to have hosted professional players including Djokovic and Davydenko.
Island Cruising
Beyond the reef, Hideaway's cruising options open up the wider atoll — sunset cruises, dolphin-watching runs, and open-water outings aboard the resort's own vessels.
Dolphin Safari
A sunset dolphin cruise into the open waters around Haa Alifu Atoll, tracking down the pods that regularly surface near the resort.
Sandbank Escape
A speedboat ride out to a deserted sandbank — whether for a Robinson Crusoe-style adventure, a romantic escape, or simply the best seat in the atoll for sunset.
Romantic Celebrations
A curated set of romantic experiences built around privacy and occasion — from a candlelit dinner under the stars to a full Robinson Crusoe-style day on a secluded beach.
Utheemu Cultural Visit
A short boat ride to Utheemu Island for a genuine look at Maldivian history — centred on Utheemu Palace, birthplace of Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu, the warrior-king who liberated the Maldives from Portuguese rule.
Cinema Under the Stars
An open-air movie night on the beach, with the film taking a back seat to Taittinger Champagne, popcorn, and chocolate-dipped fruit skewers.
Luxury Yacht Charter: Hideaway Majesty
Hideaway Majesty is the resort's own 65-foot flybridge yacht — spacious, bright, and built as much for a scenic charter as for the arrival journey to the island itself.
Bespoke Celebrations
Weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, and Valentine's — Hideaway builds each celebration around the couple rather than a fixed package, with a dedicated events team handling the details.
Padel
Padel's solid bats and walled courts make for a faster, more chaotic game than tennis — a hybrid of tennis and squash that's become one of the world's fastest-growing sports.
Golf
A Golf Centre built around simulator technology as much as a physical course — state-of-the-art simulators capture and replay swing mechanics alongside a five-hole putting green and in-house Golf Pro coaching.
Sports Galore
Beyond tennis, padel, and golf, Hideaway packs in a genuinely wide spread of sport and fitness options — racket sports, a full fitness centre, running trails, and team sports across the island.
