Sun Siyam Olhuveli
Spread across three islands in South Male Atoll, about 45 minutes by speedboat from the airport, Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a four-star-deluxe resort built around affordable luxury and unmistakably Maldivian surroundings. Turquoise lagoon and soft sand wrap all three islands, with 225 beachfront and overwater villas and six pools spread between them. The house reef and surrounding lagoon keep water sports front and centre, from diving nearby shipwrecks to surfing well-known breaks and spotting dolphins at sunset, with eight treatment pavilions on hand for the days spent winding down instead. Dining leans heavily on the sea, with more than twenty restaurants and bars scattered across the three islands - a lagoon-side buffet, Japanese teppanyaki, Indian tandoor, and destination dining set on sandbanks or at sea, among many others - giving couples, families, and friends plenty of ways to fill a stay.

COMO Cocoa Island
Known locally as Makunufushi, COMO Cocoa Island sits among the coral atolls of South Malé — close enough to skip the seaplane altogether, with just a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. It's one of COMO's original Maldives properties, built on genuinely personalised service rather than scale. The resort tailors much of the experience around individual requests: private dinners set up on secluded stretches of sand, custom cruises to nearby islands and sandbanks, or yoga, diving, and snorkelling sessions arranged to suit. A manager stays on call around the clock, and the team can handle everything from daily excursion bookings to more elaborate custom requests. Distinctive architecture, calming spa treatments, and a kitchen that leans into authentic, sophisticated cooking round out a stay equally suited to couples, families, or extended groups. One practical note: drones and other unmanned aerial equipment aren't permitted anywhere on the island, in the interest of guest privacy.

The all-inclusive Atmosphere INDULGENCE™ plan bundles champagne breakfasts, à la carte dining, premium drinks, and daily poolside treats into the stay, and for guests staying four nights or longer, spa treatments, diving, and water sports are included as well.

A few standout extras — the SUB-ZEN submarine excursion among them — give this resort its own distinct character within the all-inclusive category.
