Luxury Maldives Holidays 2025/2026

With picture-perfect shallow turquoise waters blending into endless sandy beaches and luxurious accommodation, the Maldives are the ultimate desert island paradise. Located in the Indian Ocean off the southwest coasts of Sri Lanka and India, each resort is set on its own private island, and you arrive either by speedboat or seaplane.

Ideal for a relaxing beach holiday, luxury honeymoon or family holiday, the Maldives is one of the world’s most exclusive beach destinations. Snorkel vibrant reefs with over 200 species of coral, 300 species of tropical fish and even the occasional whale shark. Share sunset dinners on your villa deck and unwind in first-class spas.Or join marine biologists in meaningful conservation work before capping the day off with barefoot evenings on the beach as the stars come alive.
