You may have heard before that the Maldives is “a paradise on earth”, but only when you go there do you realise just how true this is. If it’s going to be your first time here, it helps to know how to enjoy the best of this destination and the below insights will come in handy.
Stay at a Private Island Resort
Your first step is to stay at a resort on a private island which ensures sublime seclusion and luxurious comforts. Choose a property in the Baa Atoll such as Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu that’s accessible by seaplane so you can enjoy breathtaking aerial views along the way. Consider a beachfront villa with a pathway to the shore or an overwater villa with direct access to the waters below. Of course, there’s more to love about the perfect resort, so read on!

Another allure of the Baa Atoll is that it’s a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve perfect for snorkelling and diving during a getaway at Maldives beach resorts; you can encounter colourful reef fish, majestic manta rays and stealthy sharks! Jet skiing, wakeboarding and water skiing provide adrenaline-fueled thrills, while Seabob and Jet Blade experiences offer futuristic fun. Try surfing, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or big game fishing on an ocean adventure or go parasailing and soar above.
Enjoy Unique Experiences
The ideal resort will offer unique excursions. Enjoy a castaway experience during an overnight stay on a private deserted island, hop aboard a sunset cruise on a hand-crafted Dhoni or embark on dolphin-spotting escapades. Visit local islands like Thulhaadhoo and see artisans engaged in traditional lacquer work or join a local family for afternoon tea. End the day with a candlelit dinner on the beach or a magical movie night under the stars!
Experience Holistic Healing
A true escape isn’t complete without a bit of self-care. The best resorts offer luxury spas in Maldives nestled in tropical sanctuaries featuring traditional wellness rituals. Try a Maldivian coconut oil massage that utilises warm coconut oil poured over seashells. For deep relaxation, soak in a spice bath infused with fresh lemongrass, galangal, ginger, betel leaf and lime. Pair such treatments with daily yoga sessions and you will leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
