Most destinations fail to live up to the glossy brochure hype. The Maldives is an exception. No photographer can do justice to the splendid natural colours – the cobalt seas, the turquoise lagoons, the fiery orange sunsets. The standards of hospitality are outstanding and the modern world is a million miles away.

The secret to the perfect luxury holiday in the Maldives is to pick the right hotel to suit you.
If you like your resort to be cool and contemporary, our top recommendations are Huvafen Fushi, with a choice of villas on the beach or over the lagoon, and the W Retreat & Spa which is seriously stylish and a little bit funky.
If you are looking for a romantic escape in the lap of luxury, we recommend Soneva Gili by Six Senses - their Crusoe Residences stand alone in the middle of the lagoon offering complete privacy. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, with circular rotating beds in the Sunset Water Villas, comes a very close second. If barefoot luxury is more your thing, Soneva Fushi by Six Senses is our pick.
Our top choice for families is the One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives; it’s not only a stunning and sophisticated resort but their activities for children from four up to 17 years of age are unmatched in the Maldives. Families with active teenagers should opt for DIVA Maldives which has fantastic sports facilities.
Diving and watersports enthusiasts should head for Kanuhura, with its PADI Gold Palm dive school, or Huvafen Fushi, which has a resident marine biologist.
Finally, spa junkies are spoiled for choice but we particularly rate the spas at Huvafen Fushi, Cocoa Island and the stunning Espa at Reethi Rah.
