The best luxury beach villas in the Maldives

Let the Indian Ocean seep through the windows of this stunning Beach House at Patina Maldives. Make the most of the space spread across two floors with opulent décor, impressive decking area and private garden, beachfront infinity pool and incredible surroundings.  

Most luxurious feature: As guests of The Beach House, you will enjoy exclusive privileges such as VIP arrival and departure airport assistance, a private Kombucha making class, daily private yoga and the chance to build your own coral reef at the lagoon with the resident marine biologist.

Some of the very best Maldives luxury villas are those perched on stilts overlooking the ocean horizon. These kinds of sunset views are simply unbeatable, especially at Cheval Blanc Randheli. The Garden Water Villas provide everything you need and want from a typical Maldives getaway – a bedroom, dress room, and spacious living room, all styled with contemporary decor and furnished with modern amenities. Families can also opt for an additional second bedroom.

The most luxurious feature: The private infinity pool seemingly stretches out into the ocean. The perfect place to sunbathe and unwind with an evening glass of bubbly.

Luxury beach villas in the Maldives are all about the little luxuries, and you’ll get plenty of them in The Beach Residence at The Nautilus Maldives. It’s a Two-Bedroom Villa boasting the best spot on the entire island: the perfect location for watching the sunset as evening time comes around – champagne in hand of course. You also benefit from your own infinity pool, an alfresco dining area, and private butler service. It really does feel like your home from home.

The most luxurious feature: The hospitality you receive during your stay is outstanding. A complimentary champagne sabrage will start your holiday off the right way.

The most relaxing Maldives luxury villas for rent are often the most private, and the location of The Grand Sunset Residence at One&Only Reethi Rah captures just the right amount of seclusion. The outside terrace space feels wonderfully intimate, with the villa’s location nestled nicely in a cosy spot on the island’s 6km stretch of private beach. Outside, you can choose to dine alfresco or simply relax in your sunny private pool.

The most luxurious feature: The spacious ensuite bedrooms all feature rain showers and extra-large bathtubs. A morning soak has never felt so therapeutic.

Maldives’ luxury villas aren’t just about expensive decor and humongous private pools (although it helps).

Sometimes it’s best to go back to basics and live the stripped-back castaway life. That’s exactly what it feels like during your stay in the two-storey Crusoe Villa at Soneva Fushi. Sure, there’s a private pool inviting you to jump in, but it’s the close proximity to the beach that is the real draw here. You’re just a stone’s throw away from the golden sands and blue Maldivian seas. 

The most luxurious feature: The sun-soaked terrace is your own sheltered haven away from the hustle and bustle of busy life. Take in the relaxing peace and quiet. 

Are you a family seeking a family adventure? If you’re looking for the ultimate holiday getaway, the Island Reserve at Soneva Jani may well be the Maldives luxury villa you’re looking for.

The lavish facilities and amenities on offer include a private pool (with a waterslide), rain shower, steam room, and a wine cellar supplied with all the vino you need – red, white, and everything in between.

The most luxurious feature: Your very own water slide provides enough fun for the whole holiday. Little ones will be entertained for hours.
