Not all resorts in Maldives are created equal, but choosing which one is right for you is easier said than done. Don’t fret, because here’s some insider information that will help you find the ideal home away from home in this tropical paradise!
Choose the Ideal Destination
As they say in real estate, location matters! If you are after peace, privacy, and postcard-perfect views, consider a luxury resort like Milaidhoo Maldives on a private island in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. What’s more, such properties are accessible by private seaplane, giving you the chance to soak in breathtaking aerial views of turquoise lagoons and white sandy islets along the way.
Check the Accommodation Options
When choosing a Maldives beach resort, see if it offers distinctive accommodation options such as overwater villas with a private infinity pool, sun deck, and even direct access to the ocean or a lagoon below. Of course, if you prefer to keep your feet on land, beach villas with a private pool, lush tropical surroundings and the option to have fun in the sand and surf any time you want might be more your style!
Consider the Ocean Adventures on Offer
Ensure your resort offers plenty of aquatic thrills. Snorkelling at a thriving house reef should be a given, and also check if it has a 5-star PADI dive centre so you can go scuba diving too. Of course, for something special, you should be able to try snorkelling with manta rays in Hanifaru Bay and traditional sunset fishing. Add to that kayaking, windsurfing and dolphin cruises, and your days will be full of amazing discoveries.
Find Out About Spa and Dining Options
For the ultimate relaxation, the resort should have a Maldives spa with overwater treatment rooms where you can experience rejuvenating rituals inspired by ancient healing traditions. And when it comes to dining, variety is key! The property should offer everything from fine Maldivian cuisine created by local chefs to private dining experiences, like a sandbank BBQ lunch or a candlelit dinner by the beach.
