This is a stunning, romantic island resort offering sophisticated barefoot luxury, surrounded by glorious natural beauty. The Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa is a sybaritic combination of three luxurious resorts on two islands, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and lagoon.

Winner of 'Best Resort in the Indian Ocean' at the 2004 World Travel Awards, and runner up for 'Best Resort in the World' in Business Traveller magazine, the resort is renowned for its attentive service and fine cuisine, along with the abundance of leisure facilities. Beaches of soft white sand fringed by palms lead to the Indian Ocean. Outstanding diving in the world's most remarkable waters is on offer as well as a wealth of other sports.

Days are spent indulging in the two spas, dining in the seven restaurants, and, of course enjoying the refreshing opportunity to do absolutely nothing. Isn't that what a real holiday is all about?
