Sprawling and splendid
Fine white sands, aquamarine waters and coconut palms created a quintessential Caribbean scene at Sandals, a big resort on a peninsula overlooking Rodney Bay. Gaze out over green hills and sailing boats bobbing on the horizon, find a peaceful spot by one of many pools, under the thatched shade of a garden hammock, or in a private beach cabana, and enjoy a relaxing swim in the calm waters. Guests can also take the free shuttle to two other Sandals’ resorts to use their facilities.
From its charming open-air lobby and stylish waterfront restaurants to the warm, personalised service, this elegant resort is a great option for beachfront bliss. Lemongrass-infused cold towels and refreshing cocktails on arrival set the tone, and the fine white sands, aquamarine waters and coconut palms are picture-perfect Caribbean. Gaze out over green hills and sailing boats bobbing on the horizon, find a peaceful spot by the lagoon pool under the thatched shade of a garden hammock or in a private beach cabana, and enjoy a relaxing swim in the calm waters of the sheltered bay.
Choose from 12 restaurants including barefoot casual and gourmet fine dining. Menus showcase the island’s delicious seafood plus local and international favourites. As the sun sets, gather for drinks around the fire pit and enjoy nightly entertainment ranging from the soulful sounds of a saxophonist to acrobatic performances.

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.”
Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert
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.”

Then it’s time to return to the catamaran to set sail for Anse Cochon, one of the best spots in St Lucia for snorkelling. Here you’ll be able to hover above coral reefs that are home to an array of colourful fish.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
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.
