Indian Ocean · Indian Ocean
Twelve hundred islands and not a single one you have to share -- overwater villas, house reef diving and a silence no city break can match.
When to go
November to April is the dry season with the calmest seas; May to October brings more rain but excellent surf and lower rates. Year-round warm water diving.
Getting there
Velana International (Malé), then a seaplane or speedboat transfer arranged by your resort -- 20 minutes to 1h30 depending on the atoll.
What we arrange
Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.
Where to stay
Every hotel here is one we know personally. Tell us your dates and we will come back with availability, the right room category and any partner benefits that apply.
The original barefoot-luxury private island -- no shoes required anywhere, an observatory, and villas hidden in jungle above the beach.
EnquireA sprawling, palm-fringed island with twelve private beaches and the Maldives' most talked-about overwater villas.
EnquireLVMH's Maldivian flagship -- vast overwater villas each with a private pool, and a butler service pitched above the rest of the atoll.
EnquireWhere to eat
A glass-domed dining room five metres beneath the Indian Ocean -- the world's first undersea restaurant.
Insider tableAn open-fire, garden-to-table restaurant grilling produce from the resort's own organic garden.
Insider tableAn overwater a-la-carte pavilion reached by private boat from the resort's main jetty, for a stargazing dinner over the lagoon.
Insider tableThe Maldives' largest underwater restaurant, 5.8 metres below the surface with 270-degree reef views.
Insider tableThings to do
A guided night snorkel with manta rays feeding on plankton in the shallows -- seasonal but spectacular in Baa Atoll.
A boat transfer to an uninhabited sandbank for a private lunch, just you and the reef.
Baa Atoll's protected reefs are among the Indian Ocean's richest diving, with resort-arranged dive masters.
Treatments in glass-floored overwater pavilions with the reef visible below -- standard across most high-end resorts.
Insider note
Fly seaplane, not speedboat, if you can -- the aerial view of the atolls on arrival is worth the extra cost on its own.
