In addition to white-sand beaches and clear lagoons, Maldivian resorts are known for their customer focus, the highest standards of service and the ability to find an individual key to the heart of each guest.

In the face of serious competition, resorts offer guests a variety of services and activities, some of which are amazing and even unique in their kind.

We have collected in one article the most interesting features of resort hotels in the Maldives, which can help you choose the perfect location for your vacation.

Soneva Fushi

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives

Admirers of this legendary brand can expect accommodation in stylish villas, as well as an interesting and eventful vacation.

Beach activities are harmoniously complemented by sports and educational activities, excursions, fun parties, visits to the spa, gastronomic establishments and boutiques of The Marina @ CROSSROADS entertainment complex, adjacent to this resort hotel.

Since the main distinguishing feature of the resort is, of course, music, its guests, in addition to the classic entertainment for the Maldives, receive a number of unique opportunities aimed at musical development and the realization of their creative abilities.

So, here you can enjoy the sound of your favorite tunes in a unique pool equipped with underwater speakers, or in an unusual spa with a musical bias.

You can enjoy listening to expertly selected vinyl records with premium acoustic headphones. And you can create your own musical masterpieces by ordering the delivery of a Fender guitar.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

This fashionable resort attracts tourists with not one, but two highlights at once. Although one of them would be more correct to call a pearl. Since the name of the famous underwater restaurant Ithaa, located on the territory of the resort, is translated from the Maldivian language as a mother-of-pearl shell.

The innovative establishment, hidden 5 meters below the surface of the ocean, is not the only, but the first of its kind, underwater restaurant in the Maldives. Fusion cuisine and fine wines are complemented by magnificent panoramic views of coral gardens and ocean life gliding through glass walls.

The resort's second feature is The Muraka, an exclusive residence whose master bedroom is also submerged in clear ocean waters. Through a curved transparent dome, without getting up from a comfortable bed, you can freely observe the marine inhabitants in their natural habitat. An ocean-view bathroom, a private outdoor infinity pool and 24-hour butler service are just a few of the amenities guests of this extraordinary abode enjoy.

Amilla Fushi

The luxurious tropical resort is located on a beautiful island in the waters of Baa Atoll. Over 70% of the island is covered in lush tropical vegetation, and the magnificent villas are thoughtfully built into the landscape in such a way as not to disturb the natural harmony of these places.

Here, guests can expect secret beaches and walking paths, beautiful gardens and floral aromas, and the resort is especially proud of 2,500 thousand coconut trees decorating its territory.

In addition to natural splendor, guests are offered a variety of dining options in upscale restaurants and exclusive dinners for two under the stars, sports and relaxation opportunities, and land, water and underwater adventures.

Of the features of Amilla Fushi, it is worth highlighting rather unusual accommodation options for vacationers. So, in addition to beach and water villas, guests can stay in the Treetop Pool Villa, which rises 12 meters above the ground. Villa with an area of 250 square meters is equipped with a high-altitude swimming pool, located between the crowns of coconut trees, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. It has its own patio and a hammock in the garden.

In addition, lovers of unusual accommodation in the bosom of nature can spend an unforgettable time in a high-tech inflatable sphere, located in a secluded place among the island jungle. Waterproof and air-conditioned bubble with a 360-degree view will allow guests to enjoy the vibrant colors of nature during the day and the starry sky at night.

Relaxation can be supplemented with light snacks and delicious drinks, couples massage and watching your favorite movies in a private cinema, romantic dinners or breakfasts.

The natural highlight of this hotel is the beautiful turquoise lagoon, which is considered one of the largest in the country. Add to this white sand beaches, comfortable villas, a wide range of health and sports activities, gastronomic delights, exciting snorkeling, friendly service and you have the perfect vacation formula.

In addition to natural beauties, the resort also offers man-made beauties. Such a masterpiece, penned by sculptor and ecologist Jason de Caires Taylor, is the Coralarium, a partially flooded art gallery with 14 unique sculptures of varying heights. The sculptures are created by an underwater naturalist using a unique technology, and are able to hold biomass, which is food for fish. In addition to its aesthetic function, the gallery acts as an artificial reef, supporting the development of marine life and inspiring visitors to participate in an ecological coral planting program.
