Escape the ordinary with The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives, where private events are elevated to an art form. From opulent group dinners featuring traditional Maldivian cuisine to casual poolside hangouts, the sun-drenched playground offers a wide range of outdoor venues to keep you and your guests entertained, whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, wellness retreat, or a large-scale event that calls for an island takeover.

Venues that Wow

With their stunning water views, sleek design and flexible layouts, event spaces at The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives blend functionality and aesthetics to create a relaxing ambiance that caters to both the sophisticated and the spontaneous. At Baby Island—a speck of a private island just a paddle away from the resort—you can stage everything from a romantic proposal and castaway wedding ceremony to an exclusive dining experience under the stars or a special event with everyone you know. A little bit further out lies the gorgeous Castaway Island, perfect for private picnics with your besties or a snorkelling session with the new fish friends living in the reef.

There are plenty of stunning options on the main island, too. Step into the resort's adults-only, overwater Beru Bar—a showstopping destination ideal for intimate sunsets, Izakaya bites, and long nights dancing under the largest disco ball in the Maldives. Hang out at Todis Bar over fresh oysters and craft cocktails while lounging in the shade or gather your crew at Joos Café—an easy, breezy, all-day hangout with healthy smoothies, coffee, and wholesome plant-based eats. Kula, the all-day dining spot, features a bright and breezy dining room serving Indian, Mexican, and Mediterranean flavors that let local ingredients and the fresh catches of the day shine. Spanning the length of Kula, Joos Café, and Todis Bar, the Pool Deck centered around the Main Pool offers ample space to lounge, relax with a drink at the floating bar, or host a pool party with colorful inflatables.

For a casual group dinner on the beach, swing by BBQ Shak, where fresh seafood and meats are grilled to perfection over coconut shell charcoal, or Gudaguda, the signature overwater restaurant that celebrates Maldivian lifestyle with ingredients fresh from the ocean and low cushions for cozy lounging.

Choose Your Jam

Once you've decided on the venue, the resort's events team will help you organize a flawless celebration that will be the talk of your circle (or office) for the years to come. Options range from island weddings surrounded by the endless Indian Ocean, complete with a Boduberu drum procession and a post-nuptial couple's massage, to legendary pool parties where sultry cocktails, top tunes and views for days create the perfect ambiance for corporate mixers. And when it's your time to shine, professional photographers are on hand to capture every memory, whether it's an engagement ceremony, a birthday party, or simply a gorgeous day at the beach.

For intimate private dinners, whether with a special someone or on a solo adventure, think powdery white sand and inventive prix-fixe three-course menus paired with chilled bubbly. For celebrations on a truly grand scale, the resort's Island Takeover package allows you to bring up to 200 of your closest friends for a fully private, ultra-luxurious experience, complete with daily tennis matches, water sports, snorkelling expeditions, spa treatments, and unparalleled food and beverage offerings.
