The choice of hotels in the Maldives has never been greater.
When the Maldives first made it onto the tourist map 45 years ago, it was all rustic huts and rough-and-ready dive trips. But fast forward to 2018 and you will find super yachts, ice rinks, luxurious overwater villas with butlers, expansive spas, great chefs and feats of engineering, such as the world’s largest underwater restaurant.
The Maldives has diversified its activity holidays too. Pro surfers have tackled the waves around the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, which has its own annual surf competition and a Tropicsurf school. Tropicsurf also operates out of resorts such as Anantara Dhigu, Como Maalifushi and Gili Lankanfushi, while over at Four Seasons Private Island at Voavah, there’s a motor yacht that can sail you to a number of secret surf breaks you’ll most likely have to yourself.
When it opened at the end of 2016, the seven bedroom private island of Voavah was billed as the world’s first exclusive-use UNESCO hideaway, given its location within Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve since 2011. But if all that privacy gets boring and you want to be more sociable, you can use the hotel’s motor yacht to cruise over to the nearby Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru and hang out.
