A vacation in Maldives is often defined by sunny weather, sandy beaches, and crystal-clear lagoons. However, there are plenty of unique experiences to enjoy on a rainy day. This includes the Hammam experience at The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives. A rejuvenating ritual that blends global bathing traditions with a modern twist, the Hammam offers a perfect escape from the rain.

Inspired by Moroccan and Turkish customs, the Standard Hammam experience begins in a soothing aroma steam room, designed to open your lungs and refresh your skin. A thin layer of black soap is then applied, followed by a signature scrub to remove dead skin, leaving you feeling refreshed. The ritual concludes with a rich olive body lotion to nourish and hydrate the skin. Whether you opt for personalized treatments or group sessions, the Hammam experience is a perfect way to unwind and relax during a cozy rainy day in the Maldives.

When tropical rains roll across the Maldives, Kuda Villingili Resort offers a change of pace—best experienced at The Library, a serene space where stories unfold against a backdrop of sea and sky. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ocean beyond, while shelves hold a handpicked collection of books and magazines spanning travel, art, fiction, and wellness.

Guests can settle into plush seating with a warm cup of tea or a glass of wine, the soft hush of rain mixing with the sound of waves just beyond. Occasionally, The Library transforms into an intimate dining venue; past events have included Bottega wine-paired dinners with curated menus and rare vintages.

It’s the kind of space that invites stillness—not as an interruption, but as part of the experience. Rain or shine, The Library reminds guests that in the Maldives, even a quiet afternoon holds something special.

The Art Studio at JOALI Maldives offers a quiet space to unwind through creativity on a rainy day. Whether you’re shaping ceramics or experimenting with glazes, each workshop is an invitation to slow down and reconnect—with the material, the moment, and your imagination.

Pottery classes guide guests through sculpting functional or decorative pieces, while ceramic and glazing workshops explore colour, texture, and technique in a soothing studio-style setting. Every experience is guided, personal, and intentionally paced.

Rooted in JOALI’s art-immersive spirit, the studio draws creative inspiration from the island’s surroundings — from gentle waves and coral forms to native flora and fauna. Every sculpted curve shaped by hand reflects this natural beauty.

Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned creative, the Art Studio transforms a quiet afternoon into something meaningful—and entirely your own. Is there a better way to spend the day when it’s pouring outside?
