"To create a definitive guide to the best hotels in the Maldives is no easy feat. The archipelagic country sets the standard when it comes to superior island living. It's where overwater stays come as standard, privacy is a given and natural beauty is all around. The calibre is sky high. Boutique stays and lo-fi boltholes are a rarity. Instead, world-class hotels are spread out on their own private islands, nestling state-of-the-art spas and multiple restaurants amongst lush jungles, pristine beaches and house reefs."
"The new generation of Maldives hotels is taking this formula one step further. It's not enough for villas to just be overwater anymore - waterslides are becoming de rigueur, and soon-to-open Here resort has waterfalls cascading into private pools. Spas dangle above lagoons now, too, with glass floors allowing guests to spy turtles as they enjoy a massage. The classic pool bar has been outdone by a beachside treehouse bar, and restaurants have relocated underwater."
Maldives resorts set a high standard for island living, featuring overwater villas, private islands, state-of-the-art spas, multiple restaurants, lush jungles, pristine beaches and house reefs. New resorts add playful and immersive amenities such as waterslides, private waterfalls into pools, spas with glass floors over lagoons and underwater restaurants, alongside inventive bars like beachside treehouse venues. Sustainability measures are increasingly common, with many properties running conservation and coral-restoration programmes and at least one operating fully on solar power. Property selection prioritizes luxury and authenticity, beautiful design, prime location, warm service and verifiable sustainability credentials, with regular updates as hotels open and evolve.
