The Maldives: A travel guide
If you are seeking sun, sea and luxury, then a holiday to The Maldives is the one for you
If you are looking to abandon your worries and escape to ultimate seclusion and privacy, then a holiday to The Maldives should definitely be on your list. This gorgeous collection of islands are the epitome of luxury. The five-star resorts provide you with the best service, once you are there, it is going to be very hard to leave.
Getting to The Maldives:
Well, it is actually very easy. If you are flying from the UK, you simply catch a flight to Male (usually with one stop over in between) which is The Maldives international airport. Once you are here you will need to get a speed boat water taxi or a plane to your island where your resort is located. We can arrange this for you of course!
The Resorts:
If you are seeking a luxurious comfortable experience, then stay in an iconic water bungalow and get used to the ocean being right on your front doorstep. A lot of the resorts have spas and gyms facilities, so you are sure to feel pampered during your stay.

One of our favourite resorts is the Anantara Veli which is an adult only resort and has a variety of room options, including those gorgeous water bungalows.
Another of our favourites is Conrad Rangali, which is famous for having an underwater restaurant, which has a glass roof. Enjoy your delicious meal whilst having an array of sea life glide over your head – even dinner time is an experience in itself! With gorgeous accommodation options, this resort really ticks all the boxes.
What I love about The Maldives, is that each resort has something different and unique about it. Whether it be the accommodation options, the food, the style and characteristics of the hotel or the facilities that it offers. Each resort is different from the next, which is a nice excuse to visit them all!

Suggested Tours
The Southern Maldives: Pullman Maamutaa & Park Hyatt Hadahaa
Tailor-made HolidayThe Southern Maldives operates on a different scale from the atolls clustered near Malé. Gaafu Alifu, where both properties sit, is roughly five to six hours away by speedboat, or a shorter domestic flight followed by a transfer, and that distance does the real work of keeping the atoll quiet. It filters out day-trippers, leaving reefs with far less traffic than the more accessible northern resorts.
