1/5
Kaafu Atoll
On this atoll there is a nice balance of dreamy beaches and luxuriant greenery. The coral was (for now) preserved from pollution which makes snorkeling activities a true delight. Therefore, do not miss the "mantas" trips organized by Makunudu hotel. If you succumb to the charm of this island, know that the resort offers 32 villas within a quiet and close proximity to the azure ocean.
2/5
Ari Atoll
Imagine a out-of-sight, beautiful, large oval lagoon, dotted with reefs. For that, you'll want to stay at Madoogali Resort. This is a prime spot for divers who want a shot at seeing hammerhead and whale sharks.
3/5
Mulaku Atoll
Here you can surround yourself with nature's lush greenery and still indulge in a pinch of luxury. Do not miss the Medhufushi resort that offers many activities to allow you to make the most of the lagoon. However, the lagoon is only accessible by boat.
4/5
Baa Atoll
Baa Atoll is where you will be seduced by its privileged location that faces the "Hanifaru Bay" - listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. You'll be greeted with an authetic and traditional lifestyle at the elegant Kihaad Maldives hotel.
5/5
South Malé
On this atoll, there is the pristine lagoon which is the prime spot in Maldives. The Olhuveli Beach & Spa Resort will delight family and lovers who are in search of serenity. A true haven of peace.
