White-sand beaches, luxurious villas, exotic marine wildlife and that-must-be-Photoshopped sunsets… It’s no wonder that Maldives ranks among the top destinations for loved-up couples, be they newly weds or long-time partners. In fact, almost 100 of the nation’s islands have been developed exclusively as tourist resorts – but which ones are the best? Here’s our selection of Top 4 Romantic Maldives Resorts.
Jaw-dropping views, intimate villas and marine animal experiences; Hurawalhi has it all. But beyond that, it also boasts 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, the world’s largest all-glass undersea restaurant! For utmost privacy, check out the resort’s rentable private sandbank – Dream Island. (See our full review of the resort here).
Owned by high-end LVMH group, Cheval Blanc Randheli Island makes our list of top romantic Maldives Resorts with good reason. In addition to spacious villas and top-notch nibbles, the resort boasts an extensive range of boating options. Explore the lagoon in a traditional Maldivian dhoni, or venture farther afield in a private Azimut yacht. Check out their brochure for more options.
Every inch of the seashell-inspired St. Regis Maldives Vommuli emanates an aura of elegance. The true attraction here is Iridium Spa, a stunning 1,850-square-metre overwater compound. Check out their spa menu or pamper yourself with tailor-made spa treatments that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.
Located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Soneva Fushi nabs the top spot in our list of romantic Maldives resorts. It exudes an air of exclusivity and intimacy but also offers a variety of unique activities for the more intrepid couple. Chart the stars in The Observatory (the world’s first resort 3D astronomy experience), overnight on a private island, or explore native traditions on guided tours to neighbouring islands. For marine animal lovers, we highly recommend the sunset dolphin cruise.
