Mango Bay
A laid-back all-inclusive in the heart of historic Holetown
Get out and explore the island from this relaxing beach resort, which offers an excellent all-inclusive package and plenty of watersports.
This laid-back, welcoming resort makes a perfect base for exploring Barbados’ West Coast, with a great all-inclusive package and easy access to Holetown’s shops, restaurants and bars. Sip a cool rum punch under shady palms by the lagoon-style pool, feel the ocean breeze in your hair as you kayak along the coast or stroll down the beach in search of secluded coves. Join a catamaran tour for the chance to see hawksbill and leatherback turtles, and look out for other wildlife such as monkeys, mongooses and egrets that come to roost at night. There’s also regular live entertainment, a weekly barbecue and a generous choice of watersports on the beach, so you can be as active or relaxed as you like during a stay here.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
