From vibrant lifestyle escapes to architectural masterpieces and ultra-private retreats, this year's winners exemplify the highest standards of Maldivian luxury.
Every winning resort stands apart, each earning distinction in a carefully judged field where island exclusivity, thoughtful design, service excellence, and creative spirit matter as much as pristine nature.
Key Winners - Highlights from the 2025 Awards

With multiple restaurants, live music, pop-up surprises, and a social atmosphere balanced with elegance, the resort offers a lively but relaxing escape.
