Stay Where You Please

More than just a luxury resort destination, the Maldives offers something for everyone, from week-long stays on a liveaboard to international business conferences on the beach.

Whether for five-star luxury or unique boutique stays, resorts are synonymous with the Maldives. Private villas that back out on to the ocean, rooftop beds for late night star gazing, and romantic beachfront dinners with your own personal butler all make up the quintessential Maldives experience.

Get even more relaxed with an unforgettable spa experience featuring hot volcanic stone therapies, hydromassage pools and steam rooms with balancing crystal. Many spas also offer wellness packages incorporating yoga, meditation and detox programs so you can balance both mind and body.

Liveaboards are typically used for diving expeditions or cruises, but they welcome any type of traveler to the Maldives. A stay on a liveaboard enables guests to explore more remote dive sites, and spend the evenings close to nature. They range from budget-friendly to extravagant luxury.

The best part of staying on a liveaboard is being able to dive on your own schedule. Chose an early dive right after your morning coffee, or opt for a more adventurous night dive. Most liveaboards provide a dive master, and the smaller group sizes offer the advantage of more personal time with the instructor.

Stay at a guesthouse and experience the Maldives’ rich culture and warm hospitality while making friends with the locals. When you book a guesthouse owned by island residents in the Maldives, you contribute directly to the local economy.

It is possible to spend your entire stay at a guesthouse lazing under a palm tree on the beach, however proximity to local villages offers a few unmatched adventures. For example, why not arrange a fishing trip on a dhoni boat with a local fisherman, or strike up a game of football with the locals?

The Maldives aims to redefine MICE by bringing business travelers out of the meeting room and onto the beach. Hotels across the archipelago have leveraged knowledge gained from the pandemic and adapted their services to provide safe, unique experiences for guests ranging from industry conference attendees to digital nomads.

The market for business travel is regaining momentum and companies are looking for new experiences for MICE delegates. The Maldives is focused on becoming the ideal meeting and event destination offering an idyllic setting and inspiring spaces for corporate gatherings.
