In the Maldives there are more than 200 resorts. In addition, there are quite a large number of guesthouses and three-star hotels on local islands where the local population lives. The most popular among tourists are private island hotels. They are the ones that appear on celebrities’ Instagrams, and that is where the majority of tourists strive to go. At first glance, all the resorts are similar and in order to choose the best, we invited the company wiotto.comwho are experts on the Maldives market for more than 9 years and specializes in booking exotic islands. After analyzing the reviews of tourists who vacationed with WIOTTO, a list of hotels in the Maldives was compiled that vacationers liked most.
To be more fair, we have divided hotels into three categories:
  • 3-4 stars resorts - on average, a night for two costs 400-700 dollars
  • 5 star resorts - on average, a night for two costs 700-1000 dollars
  • 5 star deluxe resorts - on average, a night for two costs 2000-4000 dollars
The cost can vary greatly depending on the hotel, transfer, type of villa and food. The above categories are more useful for understanding the price to quality ratio.

3-4 Star Resorts

The islands on which 3-4 star hotels are located may be in no way inferior to five-star ones in terms of beauty and underwater world, even in comfort. For example, three star Embudu Village resort has one of the best house reefs in the Maldives. And our tourists, who want to save money, but at the same time expect excellent snorkeling, choose this resort. That's why it was added first to the selection.
  • Embudu Village Resort – the interiors here are discreet, simple, but everything is clean and cozy. The island is chosen primarily for its luxurious house reef and budget prices.
  • Innahura Maldives Resort – tourists fell in love with the resort for its ideal combination of price and quality. Bright Maldivian-style villas, a cool beach and lagoon, delicious cuisine and a wide All inclusive program, lots of entertainment and evening programs. This island is often chosen by newlyweds.
  • Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is the leader in the budget segment of our selection. During the season, the villas at this resort are the first to be taken apart. We have clients who come here year after year. Stylish interiors, live house reef, lots of entertainment, two bars and two restaurants. In addition, there is a tennis court and a mini-football field.
  • Kuramathi Maldives is a favorite resort for families with children. We will not list all its advantages, but will name only the main thing - according to many reviews from WIOTTO, is the best resort for families with children. There is a truly excellent children's club here, which is considered better than many five-star ones.

5 Star Resorts

  • Siyam World is a favorite of many tourists thanks to its “Wow! Inclusive Plan”, which includes not only meals, but also activities, excursions, discounts, etc. This hotel can truly be said to be all-inclusive, including excellent service and the unrivaled nature of the island. This is a big island, there are a lot of bars and restaurants. The hotel is liked for its entertainment, especially in the evening.
  • Ayada Maldives is an ideal hotel in everything, as tourists vacationing there say. Everything here is excellent: villas, house reef, restaurants, entertainment, children's club, surfing, diving, service... literally it is praised from all sides.

5 Star Deluxe Resorts

In this category, the best compete with the best. Here, it’s difficult to surprise with luxurious interiors, ideal beachesand excellent service, and resorts have to try hard to interest visitors. Previously, resorts that offered dinner in an underwater restaurant were popular, but recently they have been replaced by other resorts. For the most part, visitors value privacy combined with discreet luxury.
  • Mirihi Island Resort – this deluxe resort gets the best reviews. The island is small – only 350m by 50m. Its beach and water villas are a piece of paradise where you want to escape from the fast pace of the big city. At the same time, the island has a variety of dishes in restaurants and bars, a lot of entertainment and, of course, an incredibly beautiful and living reef.
  • W Maldives – visitors like the delicate interiors of the villas, wide panoramic windows, ideal swimming pools and delicious grilled seafood dishes. This is not a noisy place; people come here to relax, enjoy luxury, elegance and unforgettable sunsets.
