How to Experience the Maldives, Your Way

The Maldives is so much more than just white sand beaches and overwater villas. This island paradise is as diverse as it is dazzling, offering everything from intimate boutique escapes and playful tropical stays to vibrant family-friendly adventures and romantic adults-only retreats. However you like to travel, there’s a Maldives experience to match. And for those wanting more from their holiday, it’s easy to pair your island escape with a cultural journey through Sri Lanka or a stylish city stopover in Singapore. Read on to discover how you can experience the Maldives, your way, with My Maldives.

Diverse resort experiences

The Maldives is famed for its ultra-luxe, private island resorts, yet no two are alike. Whether you seek adults-only indulgence or a bit of family fun, the Maldives has a resort to match every mood.

Boutique luxury

In a destination known for extravagance, boutique luxury in the Maldives offers something refreshingly different: intimate resorts where personalised service, thoughtful design and a sense of seclusion take centre stage. Tucked away in Noonu Atoll, Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives blends barefoot luxury with refined design – think beachfront villas, private pools and a tranquil overwater spa. Just 45 minutes by seaplane from Male, this resort is intimate, stylish and utterly serene. Meanwhile, Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection offers a true boutique escape with just 50 villas, personalised service and a strong focus on wellness and sustainability. Dine barefoot under the stars, snorkel vibrant house reefs or simply soak up the stillness. These boutique resorts redefine luxury, quietly.

Playful tropical

For travellers who like their paradise with a splash of personality, these playful tropical resorts turn up the fun without compromising on luxury. The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives brings retro-cool vibes with a Turkish-style hammam, pool parties with in-residence DJs and the Maldives’ only glass-bottom dance floor at Beru Bar. It’s bold, social and effortlessly stylish. Over at Ifuru Island Resort Maldives, you’ll find a beachfront infinity pool made for sunset lounging, a buzzing beach club and gourmet bites delivered straight to your villa via the island’s very own Ifuru Eats food truck. With vibrant design, laidback energy and plenty of surprises, these modern resorts keep the good times flowing.

Adults-only

If you’re dreaming of a child-free escape made for two, these adults-only resorts offer the perfect blend of privacy and indulgence. Just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Male, Adaaran Prestige Vadoo delivers intimate overwater villas with personal butler service and glass-panelled floors to watch the reef life below, plus a tranquil overwater spa offering luxurious treatments. At Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives, romance is front and centre – think candlelit beach dinners, couples massages and a dreamy Thai restaurant with a sand floor. These resorts are made for reconnecting, unwinding and soaking up every moment together.

Family-friendly

Travelling with the kids in tow? These family-friendly resorts go above and beyond to deliver an island escape packed with excitement for all ages. Siyam World Maldives is a non-stop adventure zone, home to the largest floating water park in the Indian Ocean, along with a horse ranch, electric go-kart track, circus-style acrobatic shows and villas complete with waterslides leading directly into the lagoon. Over at Dhigufaru Island Resort, families can enjoy a kids’ club, calm lagoon for safe swimming and marine excursions perfect for curious young explorers. Stay at either of these resorts for a holiday the whole family will talk about for years to come.

Multi-destination holidays

Craving more than just blissful beach days? With our exclusive multi-destination holidays, you can pair your Maldives getaway with a cultural adventure or city stopover. That’s two unforgettable destinations in one perfectly packaged holiday.

Singapore stopover

Break up your journey to the Maldives and add a Singapore stopover to enjoy a few days of world-class attractions, food and culture. Visit the iconic Gardens by the Bay, sip cocktails with sky-high views at Marina Bay Sands or stroll through heritage neighbourhoods like Little India and Kampong Glam. For adventure seekers and families, Sentosa Island offers beaches, theme parks and other interactive attractions. Meanwhile, foodies can tempt their tastebuds at Michelin-rated hawker stalls, sleek rooftop restaurants and everywhere in between. With stylish stays like Pan Pacific Orchard or the ultra-cool Mondrian Singapore Duxton, Singapore is the perfect city to explore before or after your time in the Maldives.

Sri Lanka tours

Just a short flight from the Maldives, Sri Lanka is a great destination to complement your island escape with culture, wildlife and adventure.
