These bespoke experiences are designed to create lasting memories and provide a sense of adventure and relaxation. Although Maldives used to be known for its romantic experiences, over the years adventure travellers and families have also embraced the experiences available in the country.

5. Innovative Design and Architecture

Architectural innovation is another key aspect of Maldivian resorts. Resorts such as SO/ Maldives as well as Patina Maldives have been noted for their innovative design and architecture. In addition to embracing the island-coastal feel, Maldives resort designs make you feel right at home. The design often takes on simplicity and luxury in addition to intertwining comfort.
