Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort
Set in Shaviyani Atoll, Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort takes its name from a local phrase meaning secret water island, and it lives up to it: a ring of powder-white beach and swaying palm meets a 600-hectare lagoon that fades into the open blue of the Indian Ocean, reached via a 55-minute seaplane transfer. The island's 120 villas mix art and nature in equal measure, built from natural materials and finished with native Maldivian patterns. Choose among mangrove-set beach villas, water villas raised over the ocean, or the more adventurous tented jungle villas, with layouts running from one to three bedrooms and most including a private pool. Dining spans an all-day international marketplace, an overwater Japanese restaurant and sushi bar, and a seafood-focused fine-dining room, backed by a bamboo-clad poolside bar for cocktails and light bites. Beyond the table, guests can sail to a deserted sandbank for a private picnic, join a sunset dolphin cruise, spar in a Thai boxing class, or unwind at the nature-inspired spa, while a dedicated kids' club and teen space round out the offering for families.

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa
JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa occupies Vagaru Island in the remote Shaviyani Atoll, a scenic 55-minute seaplane journey from Malé that underscores just how removed this half-moon-shaped island feels from everyday life. Its 60 overwater and beach villas, each with a private pool and sun deck, open onto uninterrupted ocean views, with personalised Thakuru butler service woven through every stay.

Dusit Thani Maldives
Set within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, roughly 35 minutes from Malé by seaplane, Dusit Thani Maldives brings a distinctly Thai sensibility to the classic Maldivian island escape. Its 94 villas and residences, wrapped in coconut palms and framed by a lively house reef, pair Thai artistry and antique touches with contemporary island design, spread between beachfront gardens and stilted platforms above the lagoon. The resort's wellness identity centres on Devarana Spa, where treetop treatment pods sit among the palms, while one of the Maldives' largest infinity pools anchors the social side of the island. Dining ranges from an authentic overwater Thai restaurant to seafood, grill, and globally inspired venues, with a rotating series of themed and borderless dining experiences layered on top. Baa Atoll's protected waters bring seasonal manta ray and whale shark encounters at nearby Hanifaru Bay, and the resort backs its setting with hands-on conservation programmes, guided nature walks, and cultural workshops for guests who want to engage with the island beyond the beach.

Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences
A 30-minute seaplane hop from Velana International Airport lands guests on Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences, a Maldivian-owned island inside the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. At 900 by 290 metres it's one of the larger five-star islands in the country, yet only 67 villas sit across it, over water, on the beach, and suspended in the treetops, leaving close to 70% of the land as untouched jungle. That scale shows up in the room categories: multi-bedroom beach residences with private plunge pools and full kitchens sit alongside standard water and beach villas, making Amilla as workable for a large family gathering as for a couple. The Wellness Your Way programme threads nutrition and movement coaching through the stay, while ten dining venues cover everything from overwater Japanese to South Indian tandoor. The setting earns its wellness reputation on the water too: the resort's own Blue Hole ranks among the country's best house reefs, and seasonal trips reach Hanifaru Bay for manta ray encounters. Add a genuinely engaging kids' club and a near-70%-jungle footprint, and Amilla reads as a rare five-star island built around space as much as luxury.
