The Maldives holidays

Overwater villas, house reefs and year-round dive — the Indian Ocean's definitive beach archipelago.

Overview

Welcome to The Maldives

The Maldives is the Indian Ocean's most-iconic beach archipelago — 1,200 coral islands across 26 atolls south-west of Sri Lanka, with the world's lowest natural high-point (just 2.4 metres above sea level), and a tourism model based around the "one island, one resort" concept (each resort occupies its own private island, accessed by speedboat or seaplane from the capital Malé). The overwater bungalow originated in French Polynesia but the Maldives perfected it — virtually every resort offers overwater villas with direct-lagoon-access, glass-bottom floors, private plunge pools, and personalised butler service. Headline experiences beyond the resort: house-reef snorkelling (the corals come right up to the beach at most resorts, with reef-sharks, eagle rays, sea turtles, vast schools of reef fish), manta-ray cleaning stations at Hanifaru Bay (June-November), whale-shark spotting in South Ari Atoll (year-round but best November-April), the dive sites at Maaya Thila, Fish Head, Banana Reef, and Kuredu Express.

A 7-10 day Maldives trip: Malé arrival → transfer to your chosen island (speedboat for North Malé and South Malé atoll resorts, 30-60 minutes; seaplane for the further-out atolls including Baa, Lhaviyani, Noonu, and Dhaalu, 45-60 minutes) → 6-9 nights at one resort with daily activities: snorkelling, diving (often with the resort's PADI 5-star centre), sunset dolphin cruises, sandbank picnics, spa treatments (the Maldives spa scene is consistently world-class), private dinner on the beach. Resort selection is the trip-defining decision — the splurge tier (Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani, Joali, Cheval Blanc Randheli, Anantara Kihavah, Velaa, Vakkaru, Naladhu) costs £1,500-5,000/night; the high-mid tier (Six Senses Laamu, Park Hyatt Hadahaa, Constance Halaveli, Niyama, COMO Cocoa Island, Conrad Rangali) £700-1,500/night; the entry-luxury tier (Kuramathi, Kuredu, Reethi Beach, Centara Ras Fushi) £350-700/night.

UK travellers get 30 days visa-on-arrival. The Maldives uses the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) at resorts but US dollars and credit cards work universally — you rarely encounter local currency. Dhivehi is the language; English is universal at resorts. The food at resort restaurants is internationally-skilled (most resorts have 3-6 restaurants and a wine cellar). Local Maldivian food: garudhiya (fish broth), mas huni (tuna-and-coconut breakfast), hedhikaa (savoury snacks). The dry season December-April is the prime window (less wind, calmer water); May-November is the wetter monsoon season with more rain but lower prices and better surf at the Pasta Point break.

Best for: honeymooners and milestone celebrations (the Maldives is the world's most-booked honeymoon destination), divers and snorkellers (the marine biodiversity is exceptional), wellness-and-spa travellers, those wanting the ultimate "do-nothing" beach holiday, surfers (the southern atolls have year-round breaks). Often combined with Sri Lanka (Colombo is a 1-hour flight from Malé) or as a 10-day standalone trip.

December–April is the dry, peak season (and most expensive); November is a changeover month with some showers. May–October is wet season — 30–50% cheaper, surfable swell on west reefs.

Flights & how to get there

Flights from major UK airports to Maldives — typically ~10h to Malé (direct from London). Internal flights and trains link the main destinations.

Visa & passport

UK passport holders get 30 days visa-free entry. For up-to-date entry requirements and safety advice, check the UK FCDO travel advice for The Maldives.

Currency & money

The Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) — US dollars universally accepted. Card payments common in cities; carry cash for markets, taxis and rural areas. Tipping: 10% on a sit-down restaurant meal in tourist-facing places.

Language & tipping

Dhivehi; English universally spoken at resorts. English widely spoken at hotels and tour operators in major tourist areas.

Health & safety

Discuss with your GP 6 weeks before travel. Routine UK vaccinations recommended; hepatitis A, typhoid commonly advised for South and Southeast Asia. Drink bottled or filtered water only outside top hotels. Buy comprehensive travel insurance before you travel.

Holiday types in The Maldives

Pick a holiday style — or combine two. Each section links straight to the next step.

City breaks

The Maldives's cities reward 2-4 nights each — pair two for a tailor-made multi-centre trip.

Malé

Malé

The world's most densely-populated capital — a half-day stop, with the Friday Mosque and the fish market. Most travellers transit only.

Malé

Malé

The world's smallest capital city — the colourful Hukuru Miskiy mosque, the fish market, the National Museum, the traditional-old-town walks.

Cruises

The Maldives are best experienced by private liveaboard or small-ship cruise — Aman, Four Seasons and Aqua Expeditions all run dedicated Maldives charter cruises. Many travellers combine the Maldives with a Sri Lanka land-stay before or after.

Our editor’s picks

Our hand-picked Maldivian stays

Eight Maldivian resorts we'd book ourselves across North & South Male, Ari, Lhaviyani and Raa atolls — mostly mid-budget gateways with a couple of higher-end Crossroads picks.

Kuredu Resort & Spa is the long-running 4* Lhaviyani Atoll favourite — beach + water villas, six restaurants and one of the Maldives' broader-priced all-inclusives.

Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a short speedboat from Male — three islands joined by jetties with adults-only, family and water-villa wings.

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives sits on the multi-island Crossroads complex — Marina shops, restaurants and adults-only Saii Lagoon next door.

For couples on a mid-luxury budget, SAii Lagoon Maldives in Crossroads — Curio Collection by Hilton — pairs adults-friendly beach villas with the Marina's restaurants.

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is the North Male Atoll surfer's classic — house-reef break, water bungalows and a 35-minute speedboat from Male.

Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon covers Ari Atoll's house-reef-snorkelling end — all-inclusive with daily marine-life walks.

Reethi Faru Resort is the Raa Atoll boutique — beach + water villas with private pools, a remote-end-of-the-Maldives feel.

Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort is the small-island North Male all-inclusive — lagoon-front beach bungalows 35 minutes from the airport.
