Male, Maldives - October 01, 2025 - Maldives Magic is proud to announce the winners of its prestigious 2025 Maldives Resort Awards, recognising the islands elevating hospitality, design, and immersive guest experience across eleven curated categories. 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.
