Finolhu's entry overwater category, built on stilts with a private jetty stepping straight into the lagoon — 145 sqm with no pool, but the most direct water access of any villa on the island.
2 adults + 2 children, or 3 adults · No private pool · Overwater, on stilts with a private jetty
A 205 sqm garden-facing villa along the main beach — no pool, but the largest entry-level footprint on the island.
2 adults + 2 children, or 3 adults · No private pool · Beachfront, garden-facing
205 sqm with direct access to the sea and a freshwater pool of its own — the resort doesn't label this category beach or overwater specifically, so confirm the exact setting at booking.
2 adults + 2 children, or 3 adults · Private pool (freshwater) · Direct sea access — not labelled beach or overwater by the resort
180 sqm with a sunset-facing freshwater pool and direct sea access — like the Private Pool Villa, the resort doesn't specify beach or overwater for this category.
2 adults + 2 children, or 3 adults · Private pool (freshwater, sunset-facing) · Direct sea access — not labelled beach or overwater by the resort
205 sqm on the main beach, lagoon-facing, with a private pool of its own — the pool version of the entry Beach Villa.
2 adults + 2 children, or 3 adults · Private pool · Beachfront, lagoon-facing
410 sqm across two interconnected bedrooms with a private garden and terrace — only three of this category exist resort-wide, built for families or two couples travelling together.
4 adults + 4 children, or 6 adults · No private pool, per the category's own page — see field note · Beachfront, private garden and terrace
The largest villa at Finolhu — 735 sqm across three interconnected bedrooms with a private garden and terrace, for parties of up to nine. 'Pool' is in the category name, but the resort's own facilities list for this villa doesn't itemise one — a copy gap flagged in the field notes rather than resolved either way.
6 adults + 4 children, or 9 adults · Unconfirmed — the category name says pool, the resort's own facilities list doesn't; see field note · Beachfront, private garden and terrace
460 sqm overwater with an 8-metre private pool and a dedicated Guest Experience Host — two bedrooms for families or groups wanting the overwater setting without giving up space.
4 adults + 4 children, or 6 adults · Private pool (8m) · Overwater
530 sqm on the beach with a 10-metre private pool — the largest beachfront two-bedroom category, styled with the same colourful, design-led interiors as the rest of the island.
4 adults + 4 children, or 6 adults · Private pool (10m) · Beachfront
Finolhu's most theatrical category — overwater at the far end of the villa walkway, with an 8-metre infinity pool, a disco ball over the in-villa bar, a private buggy, a cabana swing and an espresso machine. Both this and the Two Bedroom Water Villa come with a dedicated Guest Experience Host.
4 adults + 4 children, or 6 adults · Private infinity pool (8m) · Overwater, far end of the villa walkway
Not a standalone villa but an add-on overnight — a stargazing, transparent-domed sleep-out on the sandbank behind Crab Shack, with a private beach BBQ and breakfast included. Booking one requires a minimum three-night stay in a regular villa first.
2 (double bed) · No private pool — a private beach BBQ and breakfast are included instead · Sandbank, roughly 100m behind Crab Shack
What villa categories does Finolhu have, and which have a private pool?
Ten named categories across 125 villas. Lagoon Villa, Beach Villa and Two Bedroom Interconnecting Beach Villa have no private pool; Private Pool Villa, Ocean Pool Villa, Beach Pool Villa, Two Bedroom Water Villa with Pool, Two Bedroom Beach Villa with Pool and Two Bedroom Rockstar Villa all do. The Interconnecting Three-Bedroom Beach Pool Villa is named for a pool, though the resort's own facilities list for it doesn't confirm one — worth checking directly before booking. There's also a standalone add-on, the Beach Bubble Tent, a one-night stargazing sleep-out on the sandbank requiring a minimum three-night villa stay to book first.
