Where to Stay in Maldives

There is no dearth of places to stay in Maldives as more than 70 of the 1192 islands are resort islands that are not inhabited by local population. The quality of accommodation varies from island to island as do the prices. In that respect the islands are different from each other but all have fantastic water sports, pristine beaches and shimmering blue waters. There is really no such thing as a budget stay in Maldives, the degrees of comfort and facilities begin at good and go further up. And so correspondingly do the prices.

Hotels can only be found in Male and the rest of the country has resorts. Resorts are basically of three types: diving, luxury and holiday. The Shangri-la Hotel Resort and Spa and the Naladhu Resort are top notch hotels and guarantee a luxurious and comfortable stay.

The Overwater Bungalows in Kaafu are also a treat. They are built on stilts in the water and promise to be an unforgettable experience.

For budget travellers, Adaaran Club Rannalhi Hotel, Anantara Hotel, Baros Resort and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu are ideal. They have great views and are pocket friendly.
