There are a wealth of excellent hotels in the Maldives that offer the chance to enjoy a luxury holiday in fantastic surroundings, and many of the hotels have the same basic shape of being built on their own private island and modelled on traditional Maldivan fishing villages with a combination of small villas directly on the beach, and for travellers looking for something extra special, one of the beautifully appointed over water villas, which stand above the sea on stilts.
A popular choice for travellers looking for a good value hotel in the Maldives with a high standard of facilities, and providing accommodation that is ideal for families is the 4* Sun Island Hotel, which is one of the largest resorts in the country, and occupies a large island a short sea plane ride from the airport.
Where the Maldives really shines is for the huge range of exclusive five-star luxury resort hotels that dot the ocean and offer service that is out of this world, and beautiful unique styles that elevate the holiday experience of all who stay in them into something really special.
One of the most popular resorts is the 4* Sun Island resort, wich is located in the south of the country, accessible after a sea plane ride from the airport at Male. This hotel is a great choice for families, with a wide range of facilities on offer, as well as the option to book on an all-inclusive basis.
The 5* Hilton Rangali Resort and Spa is one of the premier hotels in the Maldives, and offers a combination of luxury, exquisite restaurants, and excellent value for money.
The One&Only Kanuhura Hotel is a beautiful 5* resort which offers a uniquely welcoming experience to guests, and is righly seen as one of the leading hotels in the world. Like the Hilton, the Kanuhura is located around an hour from the airport, only accessible by seaplane, and offering real elegance in one fo the most secluded spots you can imagine.
The location not far from the airport and main town Male makes the 5* Four Seasons hotel a great choice for visitors wanting to get to their hotel quickly, and despite its accessibility, the hotel still offers the same kind of Robinson Crusoe experience that you expect in the Maldives. The hotel has its own cruise ship, The Four Seasons Explorer and for just a little extra on your trip, you can spend a week being pampered at the hotel before heading off on the luxury ship to see a little more of the country, and dive on some almost untouched reefs.
