There’s also an overwater spa, excellent snorkeling and dining above the reef. For something special, the two-bedroom Grand Residence adds butler service and a huge private infinity pool. Less transfer time, more Maldives – we love that equation. Read more

Ifuru Island Resort Maldives - 24-Hours Premium All-inclusive

Raa Atoll

Sunset lovers should put this one firmly on the radar. Every one of Ifuru Island’s 147 suites and villas faces west, so golden hour is practically built into the stay. The Premium All-Inclusive concept covers six dining venues and four bars, while diving, watersports and the Xanadu Spa keep days busy. For extra indulgence, the Sunset Beach Villa with private pool sits directly on the sand; there’s also a two-bedroom pool villa for families. Even arrival feels different – Ifuru has its own private airport. Come for the sunsets, stay for the wonderfully playful island atmosphere. Read more

Kuredu Island Resort & Spa

Lhaviyani Atoll › Kuredu

Kuredu is one of those Maldivian islands where you can make the holiday as relaxed or active as you like. It is larger than many resorts, with different areas for couples, families and older guests, plus diving, sports and plenty of dining choices. For extra privacy, spacious villas come with a generous private pool tucked behind tropical greenery, while Jacuzzi beach villas offer another indulgent option. We like Kuredu for travelers who want their own pool without giving up the buzz and choice of a full resort. Read more

Madifushi Private Island

Meemu Atoll

Sunrise or sunset? Beach or overwater? Madifushi lets the view decide the villa. The resort sits in relatively undeveloped Meemu Atoll, where spacious Serene Pool Villas hide among tropical greenery and Aqua Pool Villas stretch over the lagoon. Both offer plenty of categories with private pools, including gorgeous sunset-facing overwater villas with infinity pools and steps directly into the sea. Floating breakfasts can even arrive in your pool. Add diving, watersports and several dining options and there’s enough to explore – although watching sunset from an infinity pool above the Indian Ocean makes a convincing argument for staying exactly where you are.

Radisson Blu Resort Maldives

Ari Atoll › Fenfushi

Here’s a refreshingly easy room-selection rule: all 128 villas have their own pool. Radisson Blu sits on Huruelhi Island in South Ari Atoll, one of the Maldives’ great areas for whale sharks, manta rays and diving, with both beachfront and enormous overwater accommodation. Even the standard overwater villas stretch to around 220 m² and include a private swimming pool, while families and groups can go all the way up to three-bedroom beach or overwater villas. There’s also an overwater spa, kids’ club and PADI 5-Star Dive Center. Pick sunrise or sunset, beach or lagoon – the pool part is already sorted. Read more

Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort

Shaviyani Atoll

One of the largest natural lagoons in the Maldives wraps around this spectacular Shaviyani Atoll retreat – and the resort makes excellent use of it. All 120 villas now feature private pools, whether you sleep on the beach, above the lagoon or in one of the wonderfully unusual safari-style tented villas hidden among the jungle. There’s also a remarkable 200-metre infinity pool, a nine-kilometre house reef and the Coralarium underwater art installation. Sirru Fen Fushi feels adventurous without sacrificing serious luxury. If choosing between beach, water and jungle sounds impossible, that may be the best problem to have. Read more

Dhigufaru Island Resort

Baa Atoll

The beauty of Dhigufaru is that you can make the holiday as lazy or adventurous as you like. This little island sits within Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, surrounded by a lagoon and reef made for snorkeling, diving, dolphin cruises and sandbank adventures. Pool Beach Villas let you move between your private plunge pool and the lagoon in a few steps, while Pool Water Villas put the same idea directly above the ocean. There’s also the larger Sangu Suite with a private pool, three restaurants, kids’ club and plenty of watersports. Our preferred dress code here: swimwear until sunset. Read more

Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa

Haa Alif Atoll › Dhidhdhoo

Space is the real luxury here. Hideaway occupies a lush private island in Haa Alifu Atoll, with enormous villas, two infinity pools, five restaurants, a floating aqua park and enough activities to keep families busy for days. Many accommodations feature private swimming pools, from romantic Ocean Villas suspended above the water to huge beachfront residences with dedicated butlers. There’s also an excellent spa, kids’ club, diving and snorkeling around the house reef. We love how easily this place switches personality: family playground by day, seriously private hideaway whenever the villa door closes. Read more

Kurumba Maldives

Malé › Male City

The Maldives’ original resort is still a brilliant choice – although today you’ll find it under its new name, Niva Kurumba Maldives. Its biggest practical advantage is obvious the moment you land: paradise is only around ten minutes by speedboat from Malé airport. Once there, lush gardens, soft beaches and an unusually good dining scene await, with seven restaurants and three bars. The Deluxe Pool Villas have secluded private pools and direct beach access, while larger Family Villas add their own pools too. First opened in 1972, this is a genuine piece of Maldivian tourism history that has learned plenty of new tricks. Read more

NH Maldives Kuda Rah Resort

Ari Atoll › Dhangethi

Some Maldives resorts make choosing between beach and overwater ridiculously difficult. At Kuda Rah, both come with excellent pool options: Beach Pool Villas sit steps from the sand, while Overwater Pool Villas pair lagoon access with a private pool on the deck. Larger duplex villas and overwater residences give families plenty of room too. The island itself is intimate, with just 51 villas and suites, two restaurants, a spa, diving centre and watersports. South Ari Atoll is famous for its marine life, so don’t spend every hour in the pool – tempting though that may be. Read more

Mercure Maldives Kooddoo All-Inclusive Resort

Gaafu Atoll › Maamendhoo

No seaplane required – and yet the water outside looks every bit as spectacular. Mercure Maldives Kooddoo sits in remote Gaafu Alifu Atoll and can be reached by domestic flight directly to its island airport. Both beachfront and overwater villas are available with a private pool, including dreamy sunset options where you can move between your pool and the lagoon below. We especially like the relaxed adults-only atmosphere and all-inclusive setup: arrive, unpack and let island life take over. Read more

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort

Baa Atoll

Baa Atoll is already special; staying directly inside its UNESCO Biosphere Reserve makes it even better. The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo combines serious marine life with a strong wellness focus, from the Heavenly Beds to spa treatments and healthy dining. Spacious beach and overwater villas are available with private pools, including spectacular Heavenly Overwater Villas where the infinity pool hangs above the lagoon. Families get an excellent kids’ club and large two-bedroom villas, while snorkeling starts virtually outside your door. This feels like the Maldives for people who want to return home both relaxed and slightly healthier than when they arrived. Read more

NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort

Gaafu Atoll › Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll

Four hundred kilometres south of Malé, things start to feel properly remote. NH Collection Maldives Havodda sits on its own island in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, surrounded by an excellent house reef and some of the Maldives’ most exciting diving territory. Beach lovers can hide away in villas with courtyard private plunge pools, while the spacious Over Water Pool Suite puts an infinity pool directly above the lagoon. There are 120 villas in total, plus three restaurants, two bars, spa, kids’ club and watersports. Come here when “getting away from it all” should actually involve getting quite a long way away.

Brennia Kottefaru Maldives

Raa Atoll

Sometimes the best Maldives islands are the ones where there’s enough to do, but absolutely no pressure to do any of it. Brennia Kottefaru sits in Raa Atoll with a 360-degree beach, house reef, sandbank, Spa Village and excellent opportunities to spot mantas, turtles and dolphins. The Deluxe Water Pool Villas are particularly tempting, pairing a generous deck with a private pool suspended above the ocean. Families and groups can spread out in the Two-Bedroom Beach Pool Residence, while the huge Presidential Suite takes overwater living to another level. Our agenda here would remain intentionally vague. Read more

Kuda Villingili Maldives

Kaafu Atoll › North Male Atoll

Surf in the morning, float in one of the Maldives’ largest pools after lunch and work through eight restaurants by night – Kuda Villingili has a lot more energy than the classic honeymoon island. Better still, its beach and overwater villas feature generous private pools, with huge two-, three- and four-bedroom residences for families and groups. Chicken’s Break, a world-class surf spot, is just offshore, while the spa occupies its own little island. Only 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé, this is one of those resorts where convenience doesn’t feel remotely like a compromise. Read more

The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah

Gaafu Atoll › Gaafu Alifu Atoll

Here’s a wonderfully simple room-selection rule: all 173 villas have their own private pool. The only difficult decision is whether you want yours hidden beside the beach, overlooking the lagoon or suspended above the Indian Ocean. Dhigurah itself is unusually large and lush by Maldives standards, with thousands of coconut palms, a three-kilometre house reef, Spa by Clarins and restaurants ranging from Mediterranean tapas to contemporary Cantonese cuisine. Families get a kids’ club and two-bedroom villas, while couples can disappear into the quieter corners. There’s even a one-kilometre bridge to its sister island next door. Read more

Some Maldivian villas are spacious; these feel more like private island houses. Set in remote Shaviyani Atoll, JW Marriott has just 60 beach and overwater villas – and every one comes with a private pool, huge deck and plenty of room to spread out. The duplex villas are particularly impressive for families, while couples can retreat to overwater pools and direct lagoon access. Six dining venues include Thai food in the treetops and Japanese teppanyaki above the water, while Spa by JW and an adults-only infinity pool provide quieter moments. Luxury here comes with plenty of breathing room. Read more
