The Best All-inclusive Resorts in the Maldives of 2024

"A beacon of barefoot luxury and a pioneer of sustainability since opening in 1995, this property ‘redefined tourism in the Maldives’ and earned recognition on Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards and Global Vision Awards. Guests encounter intuitive butler service, an open-air cinema, an on-site glass-blowing studio, and unique extras like the world’s first fine-dining zipline experience, where you ‘soar above the treetops ahead of dinner.’ The Soneva Unlimited program is one of the most generous all-inclusive packages in the country, covering meals and drinks across nine of the 11 eateries, offering access to a rotating cast of Michelin-starred chefs, unlimited spa treatments and fitness center access, and experiences like ziplining and diving. Family amenities include access to The Den — the country’s largest kids' club — along with ice-cream rooms and extensive kids’ programming; note there’s no communal pool, but nearly every villa has a private plunge pool." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.  Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
