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.

Food And Drink
There is an electric mix of 6 bars and restaurants at W Maldives Retreat and Spa. Kitchen, the all-day dining bistro, and Fire, where you have a choice of 4 different barbeques, provide menus for everyone’s palate. Swim up to the pool bar Wet and order a light lunch.
In the evening, at sunset you can enjoy a cocktail and nibbles at Sip, whilst next door is Fish – the signature seafood restaurant set over the water and under the star; a beautiful great way to soak in the atmosphere and perhaps see a
shooting star. There is even a dining option on your own secluded island, Gaathafushi.
If you want to let your hair down then after dark visit 15 Below, the place to see and be seen. It is known as the only true nightclub in the Maldives, with its own resident DJ and set underground.
Other Activities
Diving
Flirt with the adventure over the water with our adrenaline filled water sports or go underneath with DOWNUNDER, the PADI certified team of dive masters, and discover some of the best dive spots in the Maldives all within close proximity to the resort.

Alternatively, unwind, destress and switch off. Escape and be pampered at the Away Spa. Reminiscent of a dhow, a traditional Maldivian boat sporting elegant forms and vibrant sails, the spa sends you on a journey of transformation. A massage, body wrap, sunburn soother, perhaps immersions in tropical therapies or individual cleansing steam baths, the world is your oyster as you indulge.
