The Best All-inclusive Resorts in the Maldives of 2024

"I’ve stayed at a handful of Alila properties, and each one has wowed me with their sleek, modern design and attentive staff. Their Maldives property looks like a dream, particularly for those who prefer to pack some activities into their day outside of beach lounging. Here, you can work on your craft cocktail skills during a mixology class, learn the secrets of Maldivian massages in another hands-on experience, make your own sushi during a private cooking class, or spend the day on a local island and enjoy a casual meal with a local family. Half- and full-board plans are available, with the latter including daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks, with multiple restaurant options available (think refined Japanese food and international cuisine) and an option to apply a $75 dining credit toward dinner at the property’s other restaurants, like The Shack, a private sand cay reachable only by traditional boat for a sunset barbecue." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.  Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
