The atolls
The Maldives has more than a thousand islands, and nearly every resort sits on its own. Choosing the right one matters more than anywhere else, so we match the resort, villa type and transfer to the way you like to travel.
Resorts a short speedboat ride from the airport, ideal for shorter stays or arriving late in the day.
Lagoons, sandbanks and good surf breaks, still within easy reach of the airport by boat.
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for Hanifaru Bay, where manta rays gather in large numbers from about June to November.
Some of the best diving and snorkeling in the country, with whale sharks seen year-round in the south of the atoll.
Laamu, Gaafu and Addu, reached by a domestic flight, with fewer resorts, healthy reefs and a deep sense of seclusion.
Turquoise lagoons, white sand and nothing on the horizon.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Villas with steps straight into the lagoon, private pools and sunset decks over the water.
House reefs steps from your villa, and guided trips to see manta rays, turtles and whale sharks.
Scenic seaplane flights over the atolls, timed and arranged as part of your arrival.
Overwater spas, private dinners on the sand and quiet days that make the Maldives ideal for a honeymoon.

Depending on the resort, the transfer is by speedboat, seaplane or a short domestic flight followed by a boat. Seaplanes fly only in daylight, so we time your flights to match.
Visitors of all nationalities receive a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival, and must complete an online traveler declaration before travel. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
