10 Best Luxury Resorts in the Maldives

Last updated on June 7, 2020 in Asia, Hotels 9 Comments

Perhaps the ultimate luxury destination, the Maldives has become a synonym for paradise whether it is for honeymooners, sun worshipers or scuba divers. Aside from the capital Male, there are no hotels in the Maldives, only resorts. Most resorts take up their own island, so the ratio of beach to guests must be one of the best in the world.

This list presents the best luxury resorts in the Maldives, as rated by visitors. Resorts in the Maldives are not cheap even at the bottom end, and these luxury resorts definitely come at a price, but they do offer the best the Maldives has to offer.

10. Soneva Gili Resort

    I have been lucky enough to stay at Coca Island and yes it is as wonderful as the photos – even my attempts with a camera look like a brochure photo. What the review doesn’t show is the great food, the charming staff and the chilled vibe – sometimes it felt that we were the only people on the island. Oh and there is the snorkeling (steps from the room straight into the lagoon) and diving (PADI dive centre on site)- truely fab
