Here is a selection of the best ones for those looking for sports, romance, family fun and more.

One&Only Reethi Rah

 

Surrounded by the wonders of the sparkling Indian Ocean is an all-villa resort offering an unrivalled level of style, choice and personalised exploration. Sleek and spectacular, with unprecedented privacy, One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives inspires extraordinary journeys for the soul. One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives is located on North Male’ Atoll, one of 26 natural atolls scattered across 90,000 square kilometres of Indian Ocean.Its spectacular shape creates six kilometres of stunning coastline with 12 beaches – ample space to grace each and every villa with an ocean view, a generous private verandah, and over-water deck or stretch of powder-soft sand. The 35 kilometres between the resort and Male’ International Airport are swiftly covered by a 75-minute journey in a 55-foot luxury yacht.


 

Travel to the Maldives has truly boomed in the past decade to the point that its resorts now set the standard for long-haul luxury beach holidays and are regular winners of international travel awards. Outside on the lagoon at the airport, red Maldivian Air Taxi Twin Otter seaplanes line up like black cabs outside Paddington Station, ready to spirit new arrivals away to their resorts. Flown by their famous barefoot pilots and seating a maximum of 20 people, these 'air taxis' are the closest most of us will ever get to travelling in a private jet - you sometimes find yourself as the only passenger on board. The ride is thrilling (provided you're not a nervous flyer, of course), not least the splash-landing in the lagoon of an island paradise that will be your home for the next week. Jumping out of the plane, you're then delivered by traditional dhoni fishing boat to the island's dock where crisp linen-uniformed staff line up to welcome you bearing cold compresses for your brow and a welcome cocktail for your thirst. Welcome to the Maldives, where things are really rather lovely. +4The luxury you experience in the Maldives is incomparable. Made up of more than a thousand equatorial humps of sand poking their heads above the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are as strange and delicate as they are heavenly.Famously at risk from rising sea levels (the islands' highest point is just 8ft above sea level), the Maldives have turned their geographic uniqueness into their main selling point and fashioned themselves into an unparalleled luxury destination by limiting development of each tiny coral island to just one resort and nothing else.
