Things to do
Even on a small island, there is more to do than you might think.
Many resorts have reefs right off the beach, with turtles and reef fish.
Look for dolphins from a traditional dhoni as the sun goes down.
Some atolls are famous for mantas and whale sharks at certain times of year.
See everyday Maldivian life, local cafés and quiet beaches.
Private dinners on the sand or in restaurants built over the lagoon.
Treatments in overwater spa rooms with views of the ocean.
Every resort in the Maldives sits on its own island, so the resort you choose is your whole holiday. Some are lively with several restaurants and water sports, others are small and quiet, made for couples.
Location matters too. Resorts near Malé are reached by speedboat, so you can arrive at any time of day. Further atolls use seaplanes, which only fly in daylight, but reward you with some of the most beautiful islands.
Food and drink on an island can add up, so many couples choose all inclusive for a set price. Half board suits travellers who want to try different restaurants.
Tell us your budget and what matters most, whether that is a pool villa, a great reef or a resort with a kids club, and we'll find the right fit.
