Property details

An incredible five-star stay at a UNESCO reserve in the Maldives - includes breakfast, spa voucher, and an optional overwater villa with a private pool
  • Maldives magic: Set amid white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, and a 360-degree living reef, Dusit Thani Maldives is a truly unforgettable sun-kissed retreat. You’ll be staying in your own villa, with décor as contemporary and elegant as you’d expect from a five-star resort. With top-notch amenities, breathtaking surroundings, and private terraces leading to secluded shores or endless crystal-clear waters, it's sure to become your own piece of paradise.

  • Dinner with a view: Start your day at the main Market restaurant with fresh organic fruits, or opt for a floating breakfast in turquoise waters to begin the morning in ultra-luxe style. Dine al fresco beneath the stars with the resort’s Borderless Dining concept, or head to Sea Grill for fresh seafood, an open kitchen concept, and a divine poolside setting. There’s also two more restaurants that are sure to satisfy all culinary desires, and a sleek bar too.

  • Sky-high wellness: Six treetop treatment pods are the highlights of Dusit Thani’s Devarana Spa. Once you've soaked up the views over a detoxifying scrub, drift back down to Earth in the manicure and pedicure areas, outdoor private pools, fitness centre, steam room or sauna. Opt for a revitalising body massage, soothing facial, or eye-opening meditation session, or perhaps enter new territory with an engaging workshop focused on sustained healing.
