Best luxury resorts in the Maldives

Luxury here is a mix of service, space, food and how little you have to think. The most expensive resort is not always the right one: the right one fits how you want to spend the days.

What to weigh

  • Decide whether you value service and food or seclusion and space most.
  • Add transfer costs, which can be a large part of the bill at remote resorts.
  • Check what the rate includes before comparing.
