An Island Resort Hideaway
The best way to experience a beach villa is to stay at a private island resort, especially in the North Ari Atoll, reachable by seaplane, which is a mini adventure in itself. The ideal property like Kandolhu Maldives doesn’t just offer stunning villas but world-class dining, a spa sanctuary, and water sports galore. Suffice it to say that you will have plenty to do when not blissfully lounging in your home away from home!
Location and Design
A true beach villa at Maldives resorts should sit right on the shore, offering direct beach access for morning ocean dips or sunset strolls. Whether you are planning a family retreat or a romantic escape, this makes all the difference. Look for a villa that blends Maldivian architecture with modern comforts and bonus points if it comes with a private garden and an outdoor shower for that extra tropical touch!
Key Features
The best beach villas in Maldives will have a sundeck with loungers, a veranda with a plush daybed and a dining area for intimate meals. A spacious open-air garden bathroom with a jetted bathtub and rain shower is another must-have. Want to level up the luxury? A private pool is the ultimate indulgence, so you can enjoy a refreshing dip amidst sunlight or moonlight just steps from the beach!
Unique Touches
Some resorts take things to the next level with thoughtful extras that make your stay even more special. This can include an iPad and GoPro at your disposal to capture your island adventures, a sound dock to set the perfect holiday vibe and a mini in-villa wine cellar for sunset sips. Of course, complimentary Wi-Fi is great as well for sharing your sun-drenched snaps with envious friends back home!
