Top Things to Do in the Maldives
As one of the world's most exclusive destinations, there is so much on offer for you to experience. Here is our selection of top things to do and see in the Maldives.
1. Discover the Underwater World
The Maldives is home to some of the best diving and snorkeling experiences in the world - the shallow lagoons encircled by coral reefs create the ultimate diver’s paradise.
The vibrant coral reefs are teeming with over 200 species of fish among other marine life, including manta rays, turtles, and reef sharks. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a first-timer, the warm, crystal-clear waters will provide an unforgettable and magical experience.
Many of the top luxury resorts offer private dive excursions to explore the most renowned dive sites, such as Banana Reef and Fish Head.
2. Explore the Maldives by Island Hopping
Hiring a luxury yacht is one of the most exciting ways to explore the Maldives. With over 1,000 coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, island-hopping by boat offers a unique perspective on the Maldives’ vast beauty.
Visit uninhabited islands, stop for a picnic on secluded beaches, or snorkel in hidden lagoons. Many resorts offer private yacht charters complete with personalised itineraries.
3. Immerse yourself in local culture
To discover the history and culture of the Maldives, take a day trip to explore the capital city Malé. Visit the Grand Friday Mosque, the local produce market, and National Museum of Maldives - to name but a few tourist hotspots. You’ll gain insight into the local way of life, Maldivian history, and its Islamic culture.
4. Indulge in Spa and Wellness Retreats
For travelers seeking complete relaxation, the Maldives has world-class wellness and spa facilities and treatment.
Many of the luxury resorts feature treatment rooms where you can indulge in massages and other therapies while gazing at the ocean beneath you. From yoga classes to personalised retreats, every form of wellness is accessible.
5. Dine & drink Underwater
There is very little that you can't do underwater. The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has an underwater suite for guests that would like to sleep underwater with the marine life. Several resorts also offer underwater restaurants, including the famous Hurawalhi Island Resort's 5.8 Undersea Restaurant.
Where to Stay in the Maldives
With an array of high-end resorts and exquisite experiences, the Maldives is the epitome of opulence and serenity. Every resort in the Maldives has its own private island, so there is plenty of choice if you’re looking for a secluded luxury resort on an island.
The Soneva Jani Hotel has been described as a "fantasy made real". This resort wows guests with supersized villas and a plethora of activities to entertain you: play tennis under guidance of a professional coach, go dolphin-spotting on a sunset boat tour, or picnic on a private island. The spa, Soneva Soul, has an extensive menu covering everything from healing massages to stem cell treatments.
The level of attention and care is unparalleled - staff address you by name and every villa receives a dedicated 'Barefoot Guardian' (or butler) who takes care of your practical arrangements.
Sirru Fen Fushi - or "secret water island" - is a remote resort located in the Shaviyani Atoll, which can be reached from Malé by direct seaplane in just 55 minutes.
The 16-hectare island is entirely natural and home to the first coral regeneration project of its kind, as well as one of the longest infinity pools in the Maldives. There are 120 chic villas that offer an overwater, jungle, or beach setting - each of which embraces a sustainable ethos but keeps the interiors subtle. This is a stay perfectly suited to those who love perfection without pretension.
Milaidhoo Maldives is situated in a tranquil corner of the Baa Atoll - a 35-minute seaplane from Malé International Airport. The natural island is circled by a talcum-white beach and stunning sandbanks that sit adjacent to a large, healthy reef - making this a resort perfect for those wanting to explore the underwater world.
This hotel is for those that are seeking an intimate stay, although the thoughtful layout means that it never feels crowded. There are four villa types to choose from: beach or overwater villas with private pools, beach residences with private pool and two-bedroom ocean residences with private pool.

Recommended Airport in the Maldives for Private Jet
Malé International Airport (MLE) - previously known as Ibrahim Nasir International Airport and Hulhulé Airport - is the main international airport for the Maldives.
Located on Hulhulé Island, it is often described as an airport on its own island as it is surrounded by turquoise seas and white sandy beaches. Just a short boat or seaplane transfer from the capital Malé, it is well-equipped to handle private jets and offers a range of VIP services for travellers.
Many luxury resorts in the Maldives are only accessible by seaplane. From Malé International Airport, private seaplane transfers can be arranged to take you directly to your resort, offering spectacular aerial views of the atolls en route.
