Baglioni Resort Maldives

It’s taken me far too long to write this, but not sharing our experience would be a disservice to the incredible Baglioni staff—especially our concierge, Rameez, who took such good care of us throughout our stay. This trip was extra special as it was my husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and Baglioni made it unforgettable. The Maldives is often described as paradise, but Baglioni elevates that to another level. The beach sand here is as white and smooth as crushed corals and volcanic ash—because that’s exactly what it is. Walking barefoot felt like stepping into nature’s finest powder. We had the joy of taking a discovery dive, and what an unforgettable experience it was. Being 10–15 feet underwater, surrounded by the majesty of the ocean, was surreal. Even without diving, the snorkeling was divine: more than 250 species of marine life revealed themselves just steps away from our water villa, and later from our beach villa. Speaking of villas, I highly recommend booking a beach villa. It saves you from hauling snorkel gear, life vests, sunscreen, and clothing back and forth. Instead, you enjoy private lounging just steps from the beach, with the comfort of slipping back into your villa whenever you need. The food in any of the resort’s restaurants is AMAZING—sumptuous, beautifully prepared, and consistently delightful. Every meal felt like a celebration in itself, adding to the magic of the trip. The island itself isn’t huge—you can walk the perimeter in about 15–17 minutes—but that intimacy is part of its charm. A note for travelers: Male airport is not like YVR. Seating is limited and very public, check-in only opens close to your flight, and the lounges after leaving the resort are extremely expensive. Plan accordingly. In closing, if it weren’t such a long journey (30 hours from Vancouver, Canada, with layovers included), we would frequent Baglioni Maldives much more often. But even with the distance, this resort was the perfect setting for such a milestone birthday, and it’s worth every mile traveled.

We visited Baglioni resort for the second time, the first visit was in 2021 and it's still like a heaven! the concept of the hotel changed to all inclusive but we liked everything. I really did not want to go home!!! :) Our host Chingiz was supper kind and nice, provided all the necessary information and support during our wonderful vacation, thank you soooo much, a very tactful young man! All the staff: chefs (super kind Barun, also a big thank to the chef of japanese restaurant - makis were mindblowing), waiters, cleaners (we had so meticulous cleaner!! our villa was always perfectly straightened up!!), coach in the gym, massage therapist were so kind and professional, remembered details (e.g. what kind of coffee we like, tried to make our stay in the most comfortable way). Unfortunately I do not remember all the names - but we would like to thank everyone who was assisting us during our stay! And I still can't forget the cocktail with passion fruit and watermelon from maldivian night! the best cocktail I ever tried! The only thing that I would like to mention: we were with a kid, he is a 3 years old boy, and sometimes a lot of attention was paid to him that was a bit embarassing. I know that there is no bad intention at all, but it's better to check with parents/ or see the reaction of the kid and not to try "to make a friendship" if he does not respond/ or a bit shy. Talking about our kid: he loved the singer so much!!!! Live music was just marvelous, his voice is soooo amazing! On the way home our son was asking us whether we would listen to him again, that's so cute!!!!! The landscape changed: during the first time visit there were no so many breakwaters and the scenery was better at some island points, but unfortunately there is nothing you can do with the climate changes. One last thing: I really liked more white parasols and sun beds rather then blue ones (that a question of a taste, but as for me white/sand beige is more luxury) Thanks a lot for your hospitality! I would definitely recommend this resort for a stay on Maldives! Hope to see you again!

An amazing 5 star resort with excellent customer service throughout the resort. Rameez, our concierge, made us feel special and supported throughout our stay. The spa staff was simply superb and Pretty, my spa specialist, provided excellent service daily! Arun Dev helped me discover yoga and the huge benefits of getting flexibility again. He was amazing as well. We were spoiled by all of the staff and I cannot say enough about the staff and resort. I highly recommend anyone visiting the Maldives to stay Baglioni Maldives.

I'm still in this wonderful routine with my family every morning. I start with group yoga. I'd like to mention the yoga instructor Arun Dev ✨ Every morning I go to yoga as scheduled, and my body thanks me. And I thank the trainer. I recommend attending yoga with Arun Dev every day so that your vacation is not only filled with vivid impressions from being here, but also so that your body and mind say thank you.

Our stay at the hotel was truly unique and unforgettable. Everything exceeded our expectations. The service was on an exceptional level – the staff were professional, attentive and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to Chingiz, who took care of us during our stay. He was wonderful, extremely kind, and always available whenever we needed anything. His attention and attitude made our experience even more special. The food was also absolutely top level – every meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. Overall, it was an incredible experience and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect stay.
