Why our experts like it
What the people who book this hotel say about staying there.

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.”


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.”

Supervised activities through the day, so younger guests get their own adventure while you get a quiet hour by the water.

Food & drink
There’s a restaurant and bar, and a good selection of slightly off-the-beaten-track places to eat and drink in the surrounding area.
If you’ve not been able to secure one of the handful of tables on the terrace beside the water, those in the beautiful courtyard garden are a very close second best.
Antinoo's Lounge & Restaurant The all-white restaurant has a menu of simple-but-chic Veneto and Italian dishes, and the option to dine outside on the canalside deck or in the scented indoor garden. Antinoo's Bar Decorated in rich shades of red and purple, the intimate bar is an inviting spot for a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner drink.

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.
