Dusit Thani Maldives

On arrival at the international airport at Male, you’ll be escorted to a private airport lounge to await your 35-minute seaplane transfer, followed by a 10-minute speedboat ride. You’ll touch down on soft white shores and sapphire seas fringed with palm trees and tropical greenery. Opened in 2012, Dusit Thani Maldives has created a world-class fusion of graceful Thai hospitality and stylish barefoot luxury, combining beautiful Maldivian architecture with modern amenities. You’ll stay in gorgeous, thatched-roof villas designed with natural materials, wooden flooring and Asian silks. Every villa features luxurious touches such as rain showers, private terraces with plunge pools, and direct beach or ocean access. Couples and honeymooners will adore the romantic villas set over the water or on the white sandy beach, while families will love the spacious multi-bedroom beach residences and villas with private pools. The hardest part of a stay at Dusit Thani Maldives is deciding what to do first. You can explore the beautiful natural surroundings on the bike, or get out into the water by kayaking, snorkelling or diving. The resort is located near Hanifaru Bay, renowned for the arrival of manta rays and whale sharks between July and November. For more action, there are floodlit tennis courts, a yoga pavilion, sunset cruises, island nature walks, Thai cooking classes and wine tastings. If you prefer to be pampered, head to the Devarana Spa, where you can indulge in a heavenly treatment in deluxe pods elevated among the palm trees.
