Forbes Recommend 3 Resorts in Maldives 2020
On the Forbes Travel Guide 2020 Star Award Winners list, 3 resorts from the Maldives make it to recommendations. Forbes’ global team of inspectors disguise as customers to provide a review on the resorts. Here are their highlights of the 3 resorts.
Six Senses Laamu
The resort has a “no shoes, no news” policy that encourages you to abandon your footwear on arrival and disconnect from the rest of the world.
Each day begins with a lavish champagne breakfast buffet in a two-story coconut thatch pavilion named Longitude, built over the lagoon and featuring glass panels in the floor.
Laamu is the largest atoll in the Maldives, and the crystal-clear water offers excellent visibility. It is one of the most unspoiled diving areas in the county — manta rays are a common sight.
Wander into the Ice and Chocolate Studio and inhale the tempting sugary scent of handmade chocolates and ice cream.
Amilla Fushi
A reception desk is replaced with your private katheeb (house master) who will take care of your every need.
Perched among 400-year-old banyan trees, Javvu Spa (meaning “atmosphere" in Dhivehi) is ahead of the wellness curve. It's easy to embark on a health and wellness journey at Amilla Fushi with personal training studios and a rotating calendar of visiting experts
Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa Maldives
The watersports center offers all kinds of excursions (including glass-bottom boat rides), but make sure you visit one of the two sandbanks lying minutes away for a taste of castaway life.
All guests are offered a complimentary 30-minute photo session and are only charged for the prints they choose.
A library and music center offer complimentary tea, coffee and even bongos for guests — something that comes in handy as a source of amusement on a (rare) rainy day.
Unlike some resorts in the Maldives, Jiva Spa draws its inspiration from its close neighbor, India (rather than Bali or Thailand). As India is the home of ayurveda, therapies here typically involve the use of herbs and essential oils.
