 URE escapist fantasy is the hallmark of the Hilton Maldives Resort and Spa: "the epitome," to quote British Elle magazine, "of every tropical paradise fantasy one ever had." Sited in a picture-postcard swathe of Maldivian azure, dotted with unimaginable shades of blue, the six-star resort is a sybaritic combination of three distinctive resort experiences on two interlinked islands.
This top Maldives luxury resort has won international accolades for its style, service and sheer panache. It's home to 50 of the most luxurious water villas in the Indian Ocean, 79 new beach villas and 21 stunning new spa water villas with private treatment rooms. On Rangalifinolhu Island, the elegant Deluxe Beach villas offer plush daybeds, soft sink-in Frette pillows and, usually, a private plunge pool and garden. The Over-Water Spa on Rangali Island has glass-floored treatment rooms with eye-popping views views of the sashaying marine life and coral below.

Try a herbal treatment and massage to acquaint yourself with just one of the reasons this getaway stars among the best Maldives luxury resorts. This is the tropical island idyll at its best. Indulge. Relax. Read a book. Fall in love. All this in South Ari Atoll, just 30 minutes by seaplane from the capital Male.
Rangali Island's spacious and elegant, stilted water villas offer sweeping views and big sunsets. Add to this, ocean-view baths, private sun decks, espresso machines and Bvlgari toiletries. Gourmets will delight in seven restaurants and three bars – as well as a visit to the world’s only all-glass undersea restaurant, Ithaa, 5m below the waves, surrounded by coral. The two islands are linked by a 500m footbridge. A variety of options include diving in some of the world's most remarkable coral lagoons to a range of watersports and on-shore diversions. Need fast Internet? No problem. Or settle into the games room and watch a movie on a giant flat screen TV. Want to party? Check out the main bar. Now that's what we call a holiday. |
