Traveling with Marriott Bonvoy in the Maldives
From my research, Marriott Bonvoy has one of the strongest footprints in the Maldives, with properties spanning everything from ultra-luxe Ritz-Carlton to the design-forward W Hotels. If you're like me and collect Bonvoy points, this is where you wil...
This stunning picture immediately caught my attention! Spread across nine hectares of a private island in North Male Atoll, this resort is just 45 minutes by speedboat or 10 minutes by seaplane from the international airport. With 100 land and overwa...

JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa
In my opinion, it's always good to seek out resorts that are newly restored. Reopened in March 2025 after a full renovation, W Maldives sits on a heart-shaped private island and is home to one of the best house reefs in the entire archipelago. The pr...
W Maldives
I'm very intrigued by this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve! This eco-conscious resort offers private suites and villas with ocean views and personal plunge pools in one of the most biodiverse marine environments in the Maldives. It is a quieter, more mindfu...
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort
Wellness & Barefoot Luxury in the Maldives
I’ve come across quite a few Bali resorts that share a philosophy that luxury should feel intentional, restorative, and deeply connected to the natural world around you. In this section, I feature COMO’s celebrated Shambhala wellness programming and ...
Remote spells romance to me! This property is arguably one of the most romantic properties in the Maldives and only accessible by just a 40-minute speedboat ride from the international airport with no seaplane required. Fun fact: all of the villas ar...

COMO Maalifushi
So the Six Senses Laamu is built around its famous “no shoes, no news” philosophy, which I love. The idea of barefoot luxury ethos that feels genuinely different to me from more polished alternatives. Also, the resort’s SHELL marine education center,...
Six Senses Laamu
What’s unique about this resort is that they launched a first-of-its-kind 3D coral reef monitoring program in 2026! I love the idea of supporting a resort actually invested in persevering what makes it so beautiful in the first place. An added bonus:...
Six Senses Kanuhura

I chose this resort because it is recently renovated! The resort has both overwater villas and beachfront suites depending on your preference. Did I mention that they also have butler service? Fancy!
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
Kudadoo is probably the priciest on my list, but for good reason. They have a fully all-inclusive concept called Anything, Anytime, Anywhere. Literally everything is included: unlimited spa treatments, gourmet dining across multiple venues, premium b...
Kudadoo Maldives Private Island
I included this resort for one reason and one reason only: the world’s first underwater spa. This is such a novel amenity, and for me, totally worth the price of admission!
