The best available Resorts to stay near Maldives

May 4, 2023 Myesha Cogley

Want to make your co-workers insanely jealous? Just casually drop "I’m vacationing in the Maldives this year" into conversation, preferably in the dead of winter. Or better yet, go there without mentioning it to anyone—then send them a "Wish you were here!" postcard.

The ladies did such an amazing job with our massages. We came out super relaxed and they did a great job making sure that we were comfortable. We would definitely recommend any of you to try the couples massage. It truly was a great experience.

LUX* South Ari Atoll

Dreamy atolls of tropical islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a kaleidoscope of colours and earthly pleasures. Get away from it all at LUX South Ari Atoll (formerly LUX Maldives), the only settlement on the postcard-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu. Fuss free and laid-back, the resort surprises with pop-up cinema screenings right on the beach, impromptu musical performances and strolls along secret pathways through the lush tropical gardens. Just steps from the thatch-roofed suites and ocean-perched villas, the island's unspoilt beaches are yours to claim. A prime spot for snorkelling and whale-shark spotting, the resort's unblemished lagoon is a diver's dreamworld. Back on land, island street food and fine dining await in the tempting restaurants and bars. In the shade of coconut palms, lounge by the two turquoise pools, luxuriate in the ocean-view spa and surrender to the charms of this castaway idyll.

Honeymoon

We couldn’t decide which island to go to for our honeymoon, after plenty of research we picked for Lux and definitely one of the best choices we ever made! This island is absolutely beautiful with plenty to see and do, lots of different events on daily - everyone gets their own host, ours was the lovely Elisa who messages every evening with updates. Friends were telling us 7nights in Maldives is too much (we done 7nights Maldives 6nights Dubai) but honestly I wish we spent longer here and cut Dubai short! A very special mention to Anvil who kept our romantic water villa immaculate everyday, what a lovely friendly hard working gentleman - Thank you very much for looking after us during our stay. The food in all the restaurants was fantastic as was all the staff, absolutely everyone on the island is so friendly and welcoming. We had the most memorable and amazing time here and will definitely be back ❤️ Mr & Mrs Ali

We had an all inclusive plan and it was one of the best experiences staying here. Amazing food and hospitality. Everybody is so welcoming!!! Special thanks to @ Mahesh from the catering team, he took very special care of us our food and the drinks. He didn’t leave any chance of any complains and was the best host during all our meals. Very friendly and a nice humble champ. Thanks to @Suraj too for taking care of the drinks at our table and making sure nothing is incomplete . Young kiddo so humble. Special thanks to the whole team of Sun Siyam. Our 3 day stay was the best experience so far!!!

Paradise Island Resort & Spa

Imagine an island right in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with bright white beaches, a lagoon with multiple hues of blue and aquamarine and tall coconut palms swaying to the breeze. Who wouldn't want to be marooned on one? All the more, when all modern comforts and formal professional services that one would expect on a five star hotel come together with it.

Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives

Welcome to your 5 star home in the heart of the Maldives, where days are long and sun-filled in a setting you’ll never forget. With 15 bars and restaurants and a whole host of experiences on offer, at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, no two days are ever the same.

An absolutely unforgettable holiday!

My husband and I have just returned home from our week at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi and cannot express how amazing of a time we have had. The resort is beautiful with so many activities available to fill your days. Our butler, Ashraf, was incredibly helpful with everything from getting us settled in to making our departure painless. Ashraf had also gone above and beyond to make sure to find us a beach villa that was perfect for our honeymoon. The food options are plentiful and the meals are delicious. All of the staff are also amazing, so welcoming and great to chat with. Madu at the Reflection's bar is such a lovely person and had actually made our entire trip with his attentiveness and friendly hospitality. Snoop (the entertainment manager) hosted several fun events which really engaged the audience/guests and were so much fun in the evenings. An additional thanks to Fathih, Jocel, and Silva for the fantastic service and hospitality.

Six Senses Laamu

Dolphins spin all along the shores of Six Senses Laamu, located in the pristine Laamu Atoll. From Male’ Airport, it is just a forty minute flight along the beautiful Maldivian coastline followed by a short speed boat trip. Offering 97 villas, both overwater and on the beach, and an abundance of dining options, water sports, spa and other great activities. Service is second to none with your butler overseeing every need from arrival to departure.

The most incredible place!

Reviewed By Sarah H

What an incredible place! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, an insane variety of food (and all top quality), lots of options for activities, beautiful villas and the views…WOW! We couldn’t recommend this place enough. We spent 5 days here for our honeymoon in June 2022 - perfect weather and the best experience we could have imagined. Some of our highlights: Maldivian cooking class with Issey, sustainability tour with Ali, an incredible beach BBQ dinner and snorkelling at every opportunity. You do not want to miss seeing the marine life here and snorkelling in the sea grass meadows, the house reef and taking a boat trip out and exploring the underwater world in the Atoll. The incredible reputation of this place is absolutely true - you will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to come back!
