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
* Best Lifestyle Resort - LUX* South Ari Atoll Celebrated for its blend of island energy and refined comfort, LUX* South Ari captures the essence of "luxury with personality." With multiple restaurants, live music, pop-up surprises, and a social atmosphere balanced with elegance, the resort offers a lively but relaxing escape.
* Best Over-Water Villas - Soneva Jani Soneva Jani's over-water villas remain a benchmark in sheer imagination and splendour. With private pools, retractable roofs for stargazing, and access to the lagoon via slides, they evoke fantasy while delivering function.
* Best Sustainability / Eco-Leadership - Soneva Fushi Long known as the eco pioneer of the Maldives, Soneva Fushi continues leading with zero-waste systems, renewable energy projects and community conservation initiatives, proving that luxury and sustainability can thrive hand in hand.
* Haven for Families - Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru This award honors resorts that provide both indulgence and child enrichment.

* Best Overall Island - Velaa Private Island Crowned as the best all-round performer. With its private golf academy, bespoke services, underwater excursions, superb dining, and supreme privacy, Velaa epitomizes uncompromising Maldivian luxury.
