The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort occupies a private island in Dhaalu Atoll, about 45 minutes by seaplane, and pairs contemporary design with local craftsmanship and a clear ecological conscience. The resort holds the largest three-bedroom overwater villa in the Maldives, the John Jacob Astor Estate, and its 77 accommodations - 33 on land and 44 overwater - all open through private terraces onto sparkling pools and views of either the Indian Ocean or the island's tropical gardens. Dining spans six restaurants and bars built around authentic Italian, Middle Eastern and Asian cooking, served buffet, à la carte or tapas-style, alongside an extensive underground wine cellar for guests who want a more considered pairing. The overwater Iridium Spa offers custom treatments across its couple's suites, while Vommuli House keeps workout routines on track.

Niyama Private Islands Maldives
Niyama Private Islands Maldives is the country's only twin-island resort, spreading its 134 beachfront and overwater villas and pavilions across two linked islands - Play and Chill - so guests can set their own pace. Condé Nast Traveller has ranked it among the world's best resorts, and it's easy to see why: surfing at the resort's own private wave, cycling through birdsong-filled jungle trails, and dolphin safaris all sit alongside the Indian Ocean's largest kids' club for younger guests. Reachable in around 40 minutes by seaplane, the resort keeps things active with surfing at Vodi, the only luxury surf break directly onto a Maldivian island, snorkelling tours by day or glow-lit night, and a working coral adoption programme. Ten distinctive restaurants carry the variety further, from treetop Asian dining at Nest to Subsix, the Maldives' first underwater restaurant. When it's time to slow down, Drift Spa runs overwater treatment rooms and Ayurvedic therapies, while The Lair offers a quiet lounge retreat for books, films or simply the view. With recently refurbished villas and a private seaplane lounge for arrivals, Niyama balances real adventure with real relaxation in equal measure.

JOALI Maldives
JOALI Maldives sits on Muravandhoo Island in Raa Atoll, roughly 40 minutes from the airport by seaplane, wrapped in white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and a rich surrounding reef. It's a resort built around the idea that art, design, and sustainability don't have to compete with island luxury but can define it. Curated installations appear throughout the property, each of the 73 villas is designed with that same creative intent, and a personal Jadugar service handles the details of every stay. The overall effect turns an ordinary beach holiday into something closer to a sensory, art-led journey through the island. JOALI has picked up recognition from both the MICHELIN Guide and Forbes Travel Guide, a reflection of a resort that treats creativity and genuine hospitality as central to what Maldivian luxury can look like. It suits everything from an ultra-luxury escape to a family holiday or a honeymoon in equal measure.

Kandima Maldives
Kandima Maldives sits in Dhaalu Atoll, reached by a roughly 30-minute domestic flight followed by a 20-minute speedboat transfer. Nearly three kilometres of sand run alongside a wide, striking lagoon and rows of coconut palms, giving the island one of the more dramatic natural settings in the country. The resort's parent brand, Pulse Hotels, has layered that setting with a playful, design-led approach that still nods to local heritage. Villas take cues from Malibu beach houses, with flexible furniture and bright colour schemes across the island's 274 rooms, backed by ten restaurants and bars and a steady rotation of live music and DJ sets. The overall mood leans toward youthful energy paired with genuinely considered design, with activities running from jet skiing to hands-on cookery courses. It's a resort built around design, romance, family time, and originality in roughly equal measure, with fun as the connecting thread.
