Maldives

highlights

Maldives holidays are all about escape — not in the dramatic, action-packed sense, but in the quiet, soul-soothing way that stays with you long after you’ve left. Picture tiny islands scattered across the Indian Ocean like a string of floating secrets. Each one is home to just a single resort, so when you’re there, it really does feel like it’s yours.

What sets the Maldives apart isn’t just the setting (though it helps that the sea comes in fifty shades of turquoise), it’s the way everything is designed to help you unwind. No roads, no crowds, no stress — just barefoot pathways, private villas, and a sense of space that’s hard to find elsewhere. You can snorkel straight from your terrace, eat dinner with your toes in the sand, or start your morning with a yoga class over the water.

While the Maldives is a natural fit for honeymoons and romantic getaways, it’s also brilliant for families who want quality time together in a stunning, safe setting. Think marine biology sessions for kids, dolphin cruises at sunset, and villas big enough for everyone to spread out. For divers, the underwater world is a dream — with coral gardens, manta rays, whale sharks, and endless warm-water visibility.

Every resort has its own identity — from ultra-private, design-led sanctuaries to playful, boho-chic hideaways. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re dreaming of total seclusion, want something buzzy with world-class dining, or need the kind of kids’ club that makes the whole family happy, we’ll help match you to your perfect island.

Expert tip

When you’re planning a Maldives holiday, you don’t *have* to stick to one island. In fact, switching things up can make the experience even more memorable. We often recommend a multi-island stay — start with something laid-back and beachy, then end with a touch of ultra-luxury or an adults-only escape. Each island has its own vibe, so this kind of trip gives you a richer sense of what the Maldives has to offer.

Or, why not twin your Maldives stay with somewhere totally different? Sri Lanka makes a beautiful pairing — think tea plantations, leopard safaris and cultural gems before heading off to the turquoise calm of island life. The Middle East is another favourite stopover — perfect if you fancy a night or two of city buzz.
