The Maldives is a wonderful destination for a beach holiday. The crystal blue water and white sand beaches are relaxing for anybody searching for a tropical get-away from it all. If you're visiting this tropical island retreat, be sure to plan an itinerary that focuses on the island's unspoiled, nicest beaches.
In this guide, I’ll be sharing some of the most pristine beaches in Maldives, and some tips to enjoy them to the fullest. Here are the top five most pristine beaches in the Maldives.
Milaidhoo Island Maldives
Milaidhoo Island Maldives Milaidhoo, which opened its 'doors' in November 2016, provides a world-class Indian Ocean retreat with an emphasis on real barefoot luxury. Even at the most opulent beach resorts, it's rare to have complete control of your own tropical island - but on Milaidhoo Island, it's as if it's all yours from coast to shore.
This smartly crafted hotel in the Unesco-protected, reef-fringed Baa Atoll will make you feel like you're miles from anything (including other guests). Each private house, whether on the beach or on stilts above the ocean, has its own infinity pool and sun-dappled balcony, and some are so exclusive that they even have an outdoor bathroom. Avoiding the current trend of high-gloss brands and posh hotels, Milaidhoo's barefoot comfort is at the core of the island's culture, where self-stick and drones are not permitted.
There will be no underwater parties or international DJs; this is the Maldives regenerated and stripped down to its essentials — calm, relaxing luxury in a tropical paradise. Milaidhoo provides a return to the original, easygoing Maldivian way of leisure on a little island with deep plush white sandy beaches and a colorful coral reef where dolphins, whale sharks, and manta rays are the major attractions - the advantages of being in a protected marine region.
The house reef is located near the beach and is noted for its great snorkeling and diving since it is a marine-protected coral. The unheated infinity pool includes sunloungers on one side and views of the Indian Ocean on the other. There's also the Compass Pool Bar, which offers fresh juices and beverages all day. If you become hungry, there's also wood-fired pizzas, bento boxes, sandwiches, and salads on the menu.
The hotel includes several eco-friendly features, such as a water plant and a coral-regeneration program. The team also collaborates with local NGOs that safeguard native manta rays, such as MantaMatcher and the Manta Trust.
Anantara Kihaavah Villas
Experience Anantara Kihavah, a luxury hotel with all the benefits of a paradise island of your dreams - beautiful beaches bordered with palm trees, turquoise seas, devoted butlers, great cuisine, and magnificent Over Water Villas - and you will not be disappointed. In fact, the reality will exceed all of your expectations, with an underwater wine cellar, six over-water spa rooms, and a 49-meter-long infinity swimming pool, one of the longest in the Maldives.
Kihavah is constructed on an isolated island with a breathtakingly beautiful setting. Anantara Kihavah appears to have it all: something above water (villas), something below water (wine cellar and restaurant), and something bigger and better than other hotels in the Maldives. There's even more. At this unique Maldives resort, discover new meanings of paradise and exquisite isolation.
The 79 enormous ultra-luxurious villas are either perched above the sea with panoramic ocean views or set along a private length of beach. All overwater villas are made of groove-lined timber, have high ceilings and hardwood flooring, and have spacious terraces with private pools from which to take in the horizon and spot turtles in the lagoon and dolphins in the Indian Ocean.
COMO Cocoa Island
COMO Cocoa Island in the Maldives is an extraordinary experience on a tropical island in its purest form. Cocoa is located 40 minutes by speedboat from Malé Airport and offers discreet luxury at its finest in private Boathouse Water Villas with spectacular lagoon views, perfect beach, incredible diving and snorkeling in the warm waters of a house reef, simple but excellent food, and a holistic Como Shambhala spa.
The island, located in the Maldives' South Male Atoll, is the epitome of understated elegance. Individual water houses with white interiors and teakwood flooring create an aura of casual romanticism, reminiscent of Kerala's collection of houseboats (kettuvallam). This small slice of tropical heaven provides a complete vacation from daily life; rest in minimalist elegance, forget yourself in a yoga session, and, of course, dive among the parrot fish, rays, and sharks swimming around.
