🇲🇻 DESTINATION GUIDE

Maldives Resorts: Planning a Romantic Island Escape

The Maldives is a resort-led destination where the choice of island, transfer method, villa type and meal plan can shape the entire holiday.

Best for: Honeymoons and special occasions

Choose the resort carefully

Because many resorts occupy their own island, dining choice, activities and the atmosphere of the property matter more than they might in a city or large resort town.

Villa type

Overwater villas are iconic, but beach villas can offer easier sand access and may suit travellers who prefer being closer to the island’s vegetation and facilities.

Before you book

Check the compulsory transfer, meal-plan inclusions, seaplane or boat timings, villa location and any taxes or resort charges shown at checkout.
