Activities
Jumeirah Olhahali Island sits in the North Male Atoll, 55 minutes by speedboat from Male, with over 50 activities available each week. A PADI dive center gives access to more than 20 dive sites across the atoll, and complimentary non-motorized watersports are available to all guests. The Kids Club runs an indoor and outdoor program, including an art studio, tennis, and private yacht voyages. The resort’s 120 sq m villa rooftops serve as private outdoor platforms for stargazing, yoga, and cinema screenings above the lagoon.
The Maldives
The Maldives is made up of more than a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each resort occupying its own private atoll. No shared beaches, no neighbouring properties, no traffic. The geography does something that no amount of hotel design can replicate: it removes you completely from everything else. The range across those islands is wider than most people expect.
Our Experts
The Maldives is a stand-out when it comes to luxury travel and our most popular destination. We are also proud to be able to work with properties that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Staying in an over-water bungalow is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to any traveller. It's amazing to swim in some of the world's most impressive coral reefs and the sunset's divine.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
