By Culture Hub Middle East Staff
The Maldives has long been a haven of rejuvenation, nature and rest. Overrated or not, there’s a reason it remains a top destination on travellers’ bucket lists. Culture Hub recounts four resorts to visit for an island getaway of a lifetime. From crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches to exclusive dining options and thrilling activities, each resort is a beautiful marriage of relaxation, adventure and indulgence.
JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa
Located on Vagaru Island, the multi-generational JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is home to a duplex beach pool villa, an ideal destination for a long-haul vacation during the Eid break. It includes a spacious lounge area, private pool, and a large wooden deck immersed in greenery.
As a special offer for Eid Al Fitr, guests will receive an upgrade from bed and breakfast to the all-inclusive ‘Savor the Endless’ package when they stay for ten nights. This includes daily breakfast at Aailaa, a daily three-course lunch at either Aailaa, Fiamma or Kaashi, and more.
The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives
The Standard has arranged a unique programme for their guests to celebrate Eid where they can enjoy exclusive events like the Sunset Cheers by the Beach, featuring Maldivian Boduberu music, and special dinners with an Eid theme at Kula and Guduguda restaurants.
For a truly unforgettable experience, travellers can take a day trip to a private sandbank and enjoy a picnic as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. For those looking to get up close and personal with the marine life, private excursions to swim with dolphins, manta rays, and turtles are also an option.
Featuring options like the WOW Ocean Escape or the Extreme WOW Ocean Haven, W resort’s two-bedroom overwater suites offer plenty of space for up to four guests. Guests staying at any of the suites can elevate their holiday with the ultimate ‘Suite Escape’ package which includes a special welcome amenity to kick off their vacation in style. Guests can also enjoy a delicious daily breakfast at KITCHEN, and a one-time floating breakfast served in the comfort and privacy of their villa for a more personalised experience.
You can also venture out to the resort’s private island, Gaathafushi, for a castaway Eid celebration on 28 April 2023. Just a stone’s throw away from the main island, Gaathafushi will be reserved for those looking to spend the occasion with an evening celebration and a DJ accompanied by live BBQ stations and grills.
Escape to Heritance Aarah Maldives for a luxurious and relaxing island paradise getaway. Opt for a special Eid al-Fitr package that includes premium all-inclusive offerings, an upgrade from a beach villa to an ocean villa, Arabic night at Ranba Restaurant every Thursday, and more.
Experience Maldivian culture and hospitality on the private island of Raa Atoll, with adults-only ocean villas that boast the ultimate comfort against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.
The premium all-inclusive offering involves relaxing spa treatments at the world-class Medi Spa, breathtaking sunset cruises, and thrilling activities such as paddle boarding, snorkeling and dolphin cruises, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
