Eleven Maldives resorts we have stayed at ourselves. Tell us when you want to go; we reply with options and real rates.
There are more than 160 resorts in the Maldives. We list eleven, because those are the ones we can describe from memory rather than from a brochure.
Each one visited, slept on and checked by us before it earned a place on this page.
