The newest Maldives experiences

Newly opened hotels

New islands, fresh resort concepts and fully renewed favourites – clearly labelled with their opening year.

32 selected resorts

Discover

The newest islands, all in one place.

Each hotel carries a badge showing when it opened. Where an established resort returned after a full renewal or under a new name, we label that separately.

Guide to the symbols

See each island’s strengths as well as what is new.

The symbols help with an initial shortlist. Manta and turtle icons indicate a sighting or organised excursion opportunity; encounters with wild animals cannot be guaranteed.
