Top 5 best hotels on the beach in Maldives

This hotel is worth considering for all active vacation enthusiasts. You can come here with friends and children, or organize a private getaway for yourself. And also, at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi 5*, there is a wonderful beach…

It couldn't be more perfect! The distance from the villas to the beach is just a few dozen meters… I began to enjoy the beauty of the turquoise waters in duet with the lush greenery of the island and the white sandy beach right from the veranda of my room in the morning. It's something incredible. For my convenience, there were sun loungers and an umbrella. I also really enjoyed lying in the hammock.

Yes, the entrance to the water is gentle and sandy. I happily swam or simply lay on the shore, like in a bathtub. There is also a reef with plenty of fish here. By the way, masks and fins are available for free.

Entertainment at this hotel for every taste! Kids, welcome to the kids' club. A magnificent playroom by Maldives standards. And super cool caregivers. There are board games, toys, bicycles, and even water slides for the little ones... For adults, the choice is no less! For example, I attended group workouts or simply went to the gym. After classes, I always booked a spa treatment. The massages here are magical. They also provide bicycles. And this turned out to be very convenient. I exclusively rode one for breakfast and lunch. After all, the island is quite large and waiting for a buggy for 15 minutes wasn't always desirable.

The beach in this hotel complex looks just like the picture… The hotel met my expectations in absolutely everything!

The Intercontinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort 5* gifted me a true piece of paradise! From the very first moments of my stay, I was surrounded by the care and attention of the staff. I chose this hotel complex for its best beach, and in the end, I received so much more… 

Nowhere closer… The beach is very close, it's the first line. From some rooms (beach villas), you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean right from the terrace or while swimming in your own pool.

The water is crystal clear and turquoise… I could enjoy such beauty all day long. For my comfort, there's a cabana right on the beach, which not only protects from the intense sun but also creates an additional private atmosphere. And how soft the sand is here. I spent a record amount of time walking barefoot.

Yes, the entry into the water is sandy and gentle. By the way, this beach area is perfect for kids. Thanks to the lagoon, there are no waves, and swimming is safe.

It's so great when a private vacation can be spiced up with various activities. In the mornings, for example, I attended group classes. Yoga here became my favorite. I also managed to go for a comprehensive facial and body treatment twice. Just imagine, a massage with an ocean view…

For the little guests, the hotel also provides entertainment programs. The mini-club here is the best. After all, besides toys, there is even a mini water park here.

Unfortunately, a week off was not enough for me. I have only good memories of the hotel.

Baglioni Resort Maldives - The Leading Hotels of the World 5* — a tropical paradise island in Italian style… A hotel that boasts its luxurious rooms, exquisite cuisine, magnificent sandy beach, and the most beautiful turquoise ocean. This is definitely a must-visit!

The beach at the hotel is in great shape. And since I stayed in a water villa, the ocean was just a few meters away from me. I entered the water via a staircase, which pleased me with its incline. Convenient. Plus, the depth is good.

As for the beach entry, it's sandy and gentle. I especially liked the sand - so soft and fluffy…

You can also get to know the marine life here. The hotel reef delights with a huge variety of fish.

I haven't tasted anything so delicious and diverse in a long time as here. In the evening, I definitely recommend visiting the Fuego grill on the beach. The guys prepare divine fish... You can try lobster at the Italian a la carte. And there's also a pizza station in the hotel. It's a must-try. Absolutely delicious! The dough is thin, the edges are crispy, and the cheese is gooey... Plus, for convenience, it can be packed in a box. So you can enjoy it anywhere on the island.

Vegetables, fruits, snacks, salads, desserts… There's an abundance of everything here!

My vacation was heavenly! I recommend this hotel for a peaceful stay.

The Residence Maldives 5* — a top choice for family vacations! A hotel that impresses from the very first moments of stay with its vast green grounds, spaciousness (buggies and bicycles are provided for movement), modern style, and endless white sandy beaches.

This is the first line. And the distance to the beach from any point on the island will be minimal. The only thing is, for a comfortable entry into the water and swimming, it’s better to choose villas on the Sunset side. The Sunrise side is too shallow. Plus, there are rocks, corals, and seaweed may be present.

Yes, the hotel has a wonderful house reef. And you can see all sorts of creatures there! Manta rays, stingrays, reef sharks, and many colorful fish! Snorkeling equipment can be rented at the dive center.

It's great when entertainment at the hotel is provided for both children and adults! How surprised I was to learn that kids can be left unattended at the mini-club from the age of 3. There's also a program for teenagers (from 12 years old). Parents, for example, can take this time to visit the spa, which, by the way, is constantly filled with guests. Therefore, it’s better to book at the Clarins spa upon arrival. Yes, there is also entertainment provided for adults. We have often played volleyball during the day and sung songs in karaoke in the evening…

My vacation was rich and active. I managed to swim plenty!

The true relaxation vacation was gifted to me by the Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island 5*. The hotel complex delighted me not only with its beautiful beach and white sand but also with a variety of dining options, excellent spa services, and free ice cream with various toppings throughout the day.

This hotel boasts a beautiful beach. I especially liked the beach area near the beach villa category rooms. The lagoon is not only stunningly beautiful but also has a gentle entry into the water. Plus, the entry is sandy. No stones or corals. The water is crystal clear, swimming here is a pleasure.

Beach villa — my top choice in this hotel! The rooms are spacious, bright, with a large pool… And what a beautiful view opens from the room through the panoramic window! I could endlessly enjoy the beauty of the turquoise ocean! Yes, the bed is comfortable, and the linen is not only snow-white but also fragrant.

Everyone can find entertainment here if they wish. For children, for example, there is a mini-club. Moreover, in the club, programs for little guests are held throughout the day and delight with variety every day. The kids enjoy it so much that they run there immediately after breakfast.

In addition to this, there is a diving center and a spa in the hotel. And in the evening, live music awaits.

An unreal amount of attention is given to guests here! At Jumeirah Olhahali Island Maldives 5*, I was wrapped in hospitality!
