15 Best All-Inclusive Hotels in the Maldives

When you think about vacation destinations, where’s the first place that pops into your mind? Spain? Italy? Greece? Over here at MadlyMaldives, we think of, well, Maldives!

Maldives has been known to be quite an expensive holiday destination, due to its incredibly white beaches with extremely fine sand, an ocean that shifts between kaleidoscopic blues & greens, the indescribable beauty of the flora & fauna both above the water and below it – it’s simply unbeatable in that regard. 

However, in recent years, a lot of hotels in Maldives have been putting out a multitude of offers that makes it easier for people to plan and venture to their dream vacation in Maldives. These hotels becoming all inclusive simply means that these offers that they put out makes it easier for people to pay the price tag on the package and not worry about having to spend any extra money on the trip, while also being cheaper than not taking an all inclusive plan. Tourists would also get to experience the full breadth of what the hotels have to offer without missing out. 

These all inclusive hotels in the Maldives that have been popping up want to make sure that people from all walks of life get the chance to visit the sunny side of life, the paradise that is this island nation. Which is why we want to provide you with our list of some fantastic all inclusive hotels that we know deserves the spotlight & your attention. Read on to find out more about these all inclusive hotels!

Criteria For The Best All Inclusive Hotels In The Maldives

When we’re talking about the standards or criteria that we need to look out for, one of the first things that pop into people’s heads is price. Is it affordable, is it more viable than just spending at the resort without getting an all inclusive deal, would there be stuff that you’d miss out on, these are the inquiries anyone would have off the top of their heads. And more often than not, getting yourself an all inclusive deal at a hotel is much more viable from a financial standpoint. That way, you get to spend your vacation without worry of people spending any extra money (as mentioned earlier) AND you get to experience the hotel & almost everything they have to offer (mentioned earlier as well), which is a better option when you take into account that you’d have to pay for everything individually, which racks up your bill at the end of your holiday. Why subject yourself to that unknown when you can just pay for everything in one fell swoop and enjoy a stress free trip to the beautiful sandbanks?

Another thing that holds just as much importance would be the type of amenities that you’re entitled to from the all inclusive deal. After all, you wouldn’t want to pay for a room that doesn’t include basic stuff like wifi, dining options, stuff like that.

As real estate experts have been saying for years now, it’s all about location, location, location. Specifically, it’s about where YOU want your holiday to be. Certain hotels may not have what you’re looking for; maybe they don’t have a water skiing option for you to enjoy, or maybe they don’t have the type of spa treatment you want to relax you. Or maybe the location might be a bit too far for you from the Maldives airport. Make sure that you pick the hotel that you think and know is the best fit for you in these regards.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is host to a first-of-its-kind accommodation option known as The Muraka, a residence where people can relax above & under the water. Above water, you can relax by the infinity pool on the outdoor deck or take a nap in one of the two bedrooms. The main bedroom lies 16 feet underwater, where you quite literally get to sleep with the fishes. A curved acrylic dome covers the bedroom in a 180 degree fashion so you can see the ocean in its splendour once you open your eyes. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island also houses suites & villas for those who prefer more of a beach or overwater living situation. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island calls South Ari Atoll home, where a 30 minute seaplane ride from Velana International Airport OR a short domestic flight to an island close by accompanied by a chartered yacht or seaplane transfer is your ticket to this island paradise.
