Look no further than Maldives for the ultimate luxury honeymoon destination. Originally known as Kings Island, the Maldives is almost perfect for being a true land of private island resorts, overwater villas, Michelin star quality food and endless views of crystal-clear turquoise water. The Maldives Divine Honeymoon Resort is full of options so today we have selected 13 of the most luxurious resorts in the world in the Maldives - guaranteed every holiday experience that you will never forget.
Six Census Resort Laamu Maldives
The only resort in the Lamu Atoll Six Sense includes a luxury on-land and overwater villa, a beach spa and 6 organic restaurants and bars. Despite its impeccable luxury, the resort maintains a welcoming, serene atmosphere. Each private villa overlooks the sea and lush palm trees if you are lucky you will also see some dolphins.
One&Only Reethi Rah Resort
From airports and exceptional staff to luxury yacht transfers to exclusive amenities (including 12 beaches, a pool for adults only, a sun spa in the Maldives only and a climbing wall) everything is considered here. Truly a symbol of honeymoon luxury.
Gili Lankanfushi Island
A rooftop bed to watch the stars, a private candle light meal, your own butler and the private "Sea Garden" villa make Gili Lankanfushi a secluded spot for the perfect couple. If you think a company just pops over an overwater bar where you can see marine life through a circular cut-out hole in the floor of the bar.
Mia Fushi, Baa Atoll, Maldives
A more contemporary alternative to the Maldives honeymoon is Mia Fushi Chick All White Haven with architectural decor and gray on-trend accents. Choose to live 12 meters above the ground and in one of the new tree houses surrounded by coconut palm trees for a unique experience.
Kuramathi Island Resort
This friendly, high-range resort resides on a mile-long island in the distant Rasadhu Atoll; In fact it is one of the largest in the Maldives with 290 units. Notable features include two separate dive centers, a spa, hidden beach area and standout snorkeling in the house reef. The contemporary groove-roofed villa has all the patios; Some have a hot tub, outdoor rain shower, private pool or overwater setting. Basic all-inclusive rates cover drinks and meals at one of the three main buffet restaurants, while selection rates also cover meals at seven a la carte restaurants. Guests can come by sea-plane, but most prefer the cheap boat transfer option, which admits it can be bumpy during inclement weather.
Soneva Jani, Medhufaru, Maldives
This intimate resort of just 24 private villas is a new addition to the luxury resort scene. Each villa has its own private pool and retractable bedroom terrace to allow for late night star gazing, while if you want to have a little playful fun you can go for a swim in the Silent Cinema or take advantage of the water slide of your private villa in the ocean.
Cheval Blanc
Chevel Blank High-End Scream, designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gethi (the man behind the extraordinary Aman Resorts). Here you will be spoiled not only by the natural environment and your own endless pool but also by Michelin star worthy food through French chef Laurent Chancel and Lux Guerlain spa treatments.
Como Island by Coco
A minimal, quiet resort with a private bathhouse surrounded by stunning marine life and a world-class Shambhala Retreat Spa (which makes this resort worth visiting alone.)
Hua fenFushi
Underwater spa treatment room, an impressive freshwater pool that lights up in the evening and a selection of beach bungalows by the sea.
W Maldives
The Maldives is known as the Oasis of Comfort for good reason, but what if you also want to have a little fun? W Maldives is home to the only underground nightclub in the Maldives that allows you to dance during the day and at night.
Jumeirah Dhevanafushi
Located on a small private island, Jumeirah Dhevanafushi is an ideal resort for forgetting the real world and embracing the luxuries of life - from a nice meal on your own private beach to an omnipresent couple massage at a high-end spa.
Vine Private Island
The Vela Private Island Resort, owned by a prince who has fallen in love with the beauty of the Maldives, is as luxurious as you can imagine. No details are left unnoticed here and you are guaranteed to feel like a royalty from the moment you arrive.
Sun Sam IruFushi Maldives
The 221-room resort in the secluded Nunu Atoll was first opened in 2008 as the Hilton; Nowadays, a Maldivian family runs what is probably the best locally owned resort in the country. There are also overnight rates that are the most competitive in the Maldives for this level of luxury, but it is important to note that the cost of food and drink here increases rapidly. Most are located on clean and contemporary white-sand beaches and are separated by tropical vegetation; Meanwhile the Overwater Villa has a private deck with stairs in the turquoise sea. The 52-acre island offers water sports and excursions for people of all ages, including a prime-position PADI dive center, and couples can relax only in an adult pool, at a candlelight restaurant or in one of the largest spas in the Maldives. Families should note that this is one of the few luxury resorts in the Maldives with a children's club and babysitting. A C-plane is required to get here, but hardly anyone will complain about the extra cost, especially when greeted by staff like a member of the royalty.
These are some of the top luxury resorts in the Maldives, which will undoubtedly make your stay very memorable.
