From rustic beach escapes to ultra-luxe private pool retreats; discover the best Maldives resorts and hotels with Kuoni
In the Maldives, each of our chosen resorts sits on its own private hideaway island. The choice of island resorts is impressively diverse: from tiny boutique hideaways such as Kandolhu Maldives to larger, all-inclusive resorts with extensive facilities – like our most popular Maldives hotel, Kuramathi Maldives. Of the 100-plus resort islands in the archipelago, we’ve hand-picked 36 of the best Maldives hotels – plus a luxury live-aboard yacht – to offer Kuoni guests a great choice.
Think about what style of beach hotel you prefer; a rustic retreat with a castaway vibe (we love Constance Moofushi’s high-end Robinson Crusoe theme) or a cool and contemporary hotel like Niyama Private Islands. You might want a basic room to use as a base for spending days outdoors snorkelling and diving (simple Biyadhoo has an excellent house reef and lots of top dive sites nearby) or splash out on an iconic villa on stilts over the water – some of the best water villas can be found at Diamonds Athuruga. At the seriously swish end of the scale, Baros Maldives oozes understated elegance, while one of our newest resorts, Milaidhoo Island Maldives, has some of the most beautiful pool villas in all of the Maldives.
