An all-suite, Luxury Included® retreat on Barbados’ south coast
This couples-only resort has a chic design, excellent dining and superb swimming pools.
Head down to south-coast Maxwell Beach and you’ll find the younger sister to neighbouring Sandals Barbados. It follows the same Luxury Included® concept, with exceptional service and an incredible range of facilities and watersports, but also has some particularly impressive features. The sleek, white-washed design is punctuated with Mediterranean-style terracotta roofs and thatched rondoval cottages, and there’s a glass-fronted infinity pool which cascades down towards the beach, framed by futuristic, pyramid-shaped cabanas. Take a break from sunbathing at Sandals’ first four-lane bowling alley, grab a drink from the adjacent Lover’s Lane Bar and unwind in the rooftop pool as the sun sets over Oistins Bay.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie
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.”
Sarah ShepherdKuoni Marketing Team
Kids club at Niva Kuramathi Maldives
Supervised activities through the day, so younger guests get their own adventure while you get a quiet hour by the water.

Food & drink
With nine restaurants and six bars, there’s an excellent choice on the food front here, and you'll have access to a further 11 dining venues at Sandals Barbados next door under the brand’s ‘Stay at One, Play at All’ programme. Visit Chi Asian Fusion to experience the flavours of China, Japan, Thailand and beyond in one, and don’t miss the resort’s two wellness-focused eateries for a mind-and-body pick-me-up.
As well as the six bars here, the range of dining is fantastic. Enjoy superb steaks and seafood accompanied by tantalising sides and sauces at Butch's Steak & Seafood, or head to Chi Asian Fusion for dishes including Boxed Yellow Tail and Firecracker Shrimp. At American Tavern you’ve got tempting options like San Francisco Style Cioppino with mussels, Alaskan crab legs, shrimp and scallops, and you can dine al fresco on French classics at La Parisienne. Tuck into Greek ceviche and grilled swordfish by the sea at Mediterranean seafood-themed Neptunes, or try Jamaican favourites at the rustic and charming Jerk Shack in its open-air setting. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a trip to Sweet n' Salty's Gourmet Donuts & Coffee.
The resort has recently added two new restaurants which are inspired by eating well. There's The Greenhouse and Heart & Sol. The former serves farm-to-table dishes using local produce and the menu features plenty of plant-based options. At the New York-style deli Heart & Sol you can enjoy the fresh heathly dishes and embrace the concept of clean eating.
If that’s not enough, head next door to sister resort Sandals Barbados to choose from a further 11 restaurants.
For its farm-to-table cuisine and chic, modern setting, we love The Greenhouse.
American Tavern — From New England Clam Chowder to Maryland Crab Cakes, this US-inspired tavern brings regional comfort foods from across the country together into one tantalising menu. Chi — Tuck into the likes of Boxed Yellow Tail, Firecracker Shrimp and Kung Pao Chicken in elaborate surroundings at this delightful Asian-Fusion restaurant. La Parisienne — Dine al fresco on French classics at this chic spot, serving the likes of soupe à l’oignon, cordon bleu and mille feuilles against a backdrop of sparkling sea. Butch's Steak & Seafood — Enjoy superb steaks and seafood accompanied by indulgent sides and sauces at this decadent steakhouse. Neptunes — From Greek ceviche to grilled mahi mahi, this outdoor Mediterranean-themed spot specialises in fresh seafood dishes with a side of idyllic ocean view. Jerk Shack — From jerk chicken to roast breadfruit, Jamaican favourites are the order of the day at this casual outdoor eatery. The Greenhouse — Serving farm-to-table dishes using local produce, this contemporary-design spot serves a variety of healthy dishes, from sustainable steam-roasted snapper to plant-based coconut curry. Heart & Sol — Pick up a sandwich or salad at this New York-style deli, focused on the clean-eating concept with locally-sourced, farm-to-table fruit and vegetables at the heart. Sweet n' Salty's Gourmet Donuts & Coffee — Decadent doughnuts – from s’mores to white chocolate maple bacon – are the name of the game at this indulgent grab-and-go shop.

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.
