Best hotels in the Maldives
Dreaming of overwater villas and white sand? Check out our Maldives picks.
Think luxury hotels, think the Maldives. This archipelago is made up of nearly 2,000 little islands, each more lavish than the last. From well-known hotels like Cheval Blanc Randheli, One&Only Reethi Rah and COMO Cocoa Island, to private islands bordered by water villas, the luxury resorts in the Maldives are as spectacular as the scenery. But which one should you pick? Take a look at our guide to the best the Maldives has to offer. And, once you’ve picked your favourite, browse our holidays to the Maldives.
BEST FOR SNORKELLING
This place is all about the ocean. There’s an infinity pool right next to the beach, along with a kids’ pool, cocktail bar, and snack bar. The seafood-serving restaurant’s next to the beach, as well – you can even book a table on the sand.
The hotel has a house reef, so it’s the perfect place to strap on a snorkel and explore the underwater sights that surround the hotel. Or, go one step further with a scuba diving trip to spot the likes of whale sharks and turtles. If relaxation’s more your thing, book yourself a spa treatment. A mixture of African and Asian therapies make up the menu at the resort’s spa.

BEST FOR FOODIES
You’ll make your entrance to this hotel in style, on a speedboat. It’s set on Meerufenfushi Island, which is edged by long stretches of white sand.
When it comes to food, this place lines up loads of choice. There’s a pair of buffet restaurants topped with grass-thatched roofs, for starters. They serve up a range of international dishes, and on Fridays you can expect traditional Maldivian cuisine. What’s more, there are three à la cartes. The Asian wok house perches over the waves, the Goma Grill is set on the deck of a yacht, and the Hot Rock restaurant plates up on sizzling volcanic stones.
