8 of Our Favorite Resorts in the Maldives That You Can Book With Points

by Katie Lockhart | Jun 19, 2024

While the Maldives is home to many independently owned resorts and smaller hotel brands, international chains also have a strong presence — which means plenty of options for reserving a room through a loyalty program, including Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, and IHG Rewards. Here, we’ve picked the best ones to book. It’s time to rack up those points — paradise is calling.

Located in one of the Maldives’ southernmost atolls, this far-flung private island escape (part of World of Hyatt) hugs the equator. Guests arrive via a domestic flight from Malé, followed by a speedboat. The 51 overwater and beach villas are minimalist and spacious, with a massive outdoor shower and tub area ideal for a post-snorkel soak. Known for its 360-degree house reef (a rarity in the Maldives), you’ll find some of the country's best snorkeling, with a diverse range of fish often seen in gigantic schools. For a different type of fish experience, book a sunset table at Koi at the Drift, the overwater sushi restaurant; don’t miss the refreshing watermelon carpaccio, cooked for 24 hours and topped with tofu truffle mayo.

From 25,000 to 35,000 points per night.
