Boutique Hotels in the Maldives: 8 Paradise Spots

There are many boutique hotels in the Maldives. Especially if we are talking about private islands, where the rule is "one island - one hotel". These are small islands that you can literally walk around in 15-30 minutes. Some islands are larger, but in general this is a private territory, where there is only hotel infrastructure: villas, restaurants, bars, spas , diving centers, as well as centers for various sports and entertainment.

The competition among resorts is quite high, so everyone tries to exceed the expectations of visitors. Many hotels have designer interiors and exteriors, a small number of rooms (usually villas), and individual offers. Below we share with you our selection of the best boutique hotels in the Maldives.
