Sun Aqua Vilu Reef is located on South Nilandhe Atoll. It’s home to 56 tropical coral islands and the beach villas are built over a coral reef. All of the villas are shaded by swaying palm trees. Here you can stay in one of the Maldives’ iconic overwater bungalows, and wake up each morning to the sound of the Indian Ocean. It’s a very stylish resort with a classic Maldivian feel.

This resort is fairly compact so you can easily walk around without needing to call for a buggy. There are 62 Land Villas and 41 Overwater Villas. This is an especially popular resort for a romantic vacation.

Despite the Maldives having problematic laws regarding LGBTQ+ rights, it remains one of Out Of Office’s most popular destinations. The Maldives is made up of a collection of private islands, each essentially run by the resort that occupies it. This unique geography allows for a more private and controlled environment, where resorts can create welcoming and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Out Of Office works with a carefully selected range of resorts in the Maldives, many of which have LGBTQ+ management and a strong commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and luxurious experience for all guests.

These resorts go above and beyond to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community feels welcomed and valued, offering exclusive amenities, private villas, and personalized services in stunning locations. While it’s important to remain discreet when traveling in the Maldives due to national laws, guests can enjoy a high level of comfort and privacy within these resort environments, making the Maldives an unforgettable and increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.
