Designed by Yale-trained Chan Soo Khian of SCDA Architects and built in 2009 on Hadahaa Island in the Maldives' deepest atoll (North Huvadhu / Gaafu Alifu), this 51-villa resort was the first property in the Maldives — and the first in Asia — to achieve Green Globe certification for Building, Planning and Design Standard during construction, earning EarthCheck Gold status since. Originally opened as Alila Villas Hadahaa, it rebranded to Park Hyatt in 2011 and remains one of the most remote resorts in the country, ranked No. 19 among Park Hyatt's global properties.

About Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
- Hadahaa was the first resort in the Maldives, and one of the first in all of Asia, to earn Green Globe certification for its Building, Planning and Design Standard — achieved during construction in 2009, not retrofitted afterwards.
- The resort's architecture, by SCDA's Chan Soo Khian, draws structural cues from the traditional Maldivian Dhoni fishing boat, used most visibly in the curved reception pavilion.
- Situated in the North Huvadhu Atoll — the largest and deepest atoll in the Maldives — the 360-degree house reef encircling the island is accessible directly from shore and from overwater villas, with reef sharks, rays, and coral gardens reachable without a boat.
- Entry-level rooms start at 1,238 sq ft (115 m²).
History
Nestled in the remote North Huvadhu (Gaafu Alifu) Atoll, the Maldives' largest and deepest, on private Hadahaa Island encircled by a thriving 360-degree house reef featuring vibrant coral gardens, colorful fish, rays, and reef sharks accessible directly from shore and villas. Opened as Alila Villas Hadahaa in 2009 and rebranded Park Hyatt in 2011, it pioneered sustainability as the first Maldives resort Green Globe certified during construction, with rainwater harvesting and minimal ecological impact.
