The only problem you’ll have at Milaidhoo Maldives is that you’ll want to stay longer. From the start, this boutique luxury resort gets everything right. Beginning with private pool villas and ending with manta ray excursions you’ll be talking about for years. Each villa opens 180° to let in the views (all of them face the ocean). They come with its own private pool, sundeck, custom-made furnishings, and a stocked wine fridge personalized to your taste.

Even better, you get your own “island host”. They help arrange everything from dinner bookings to snorkeling trips and spa appointments. It’s one of those details everyone ends up loving.

Looking for something cooler? Milaidhoo’s house reef is a protected marine area, which means snorkeling here is next-level, with vibrant marine life literally steps from your villa. On top of that, it’s one of the closest resorts to Hanifaru Bay, one of the best places in the world to see manta rays up close.

When it comes to food, it’s exceptional. With three restaurants and two bars under their “Gourmet Plan,” you get top-shelf drinks, daily meals, and rotating menus that blend local and international flavors. In addition, the sunset bar offers live music that completes the experience.

As for wellness, the overwater spa, yoga pavilion, and daily meditation sessions add to the calm. Alternatively, go active with dolphin cruises, sailing, diving, or a workout at the 24-hour gym.
