Travel Kuoni

Maldives Access All Areas

A week-long Maldives adventure staying on two different island resorts in the North Ari Atoll.

This Maldives pairing gives you two island styles without overcomplicating the holiday. Start at Sandies Bathala, where the focus is the house reef, simple all-inclusive living, and a small-island feel that helps you settle in fast. Then move to Ananea for a more contemporary stay, with private-pool villas, nine restaurants and bars, a wider choice of watersports, and more space to play with. Both resorts are exclusive to Kuoni in the UK, so this is a Maldives combination you won’t find elsewhere.

Days 1-4

Sandies Bathala

Start at Sandies Bathala in a Beach Bungalow on an all-inclusive basis. This is the stripped-back, reef-first part of the trip: just two room types to decide between, one main restaurant, one beach bar, and a fantastic underwater world just off the island. Your all-inclusive package includes meals at the main restaurant, selected drinks, snorkelling equipment, and a daily guided snorkelling tour, so you can keep things simple and spend more time in the water. It’s a smart first stop if you want the Maldives to feel natural, friendly, and unfussy. Join one of the twice-weekly talks with the island’s marine biologist, take the guided snorkel, or upgrade to a Water Villa if you want your own deck over the lagoon. Our insider tip? Pop into the island shop and meet Baskaran, who can make a dress, T-shirt, or trousers to your measurements while you’re there. That’s a souvenir with a proper story behind it.

Days 5-9

Ananea Madivaru Maldives

Transfer by speedboat to Ananea Madivaru Maldives, where the holiday shifts into a glossier setting. This is the part of your holiday where you add more options: Asian Food Street, The Flame for seafood and grill, Luna for Italian and Mediterranean dining, Sting Bar by the main pool, and Paradise Beach Club for something more social. The sunset cruise is included on the all-inclusive plan, and Manta Quest is well worth adding if you want a standout snorkelling experience. You’ll stay in a Beach Pool Villa on an all-inclusive basis, with your own private pool and access to a much broader dining scene across the resort’s restaurants and bars. The resort sits across two connected islands in the North Ari Atoll, with a wide lagoon, direct access to a biodiverse reef, and complimentary non-motorised watersports and snorkelling equipment.
