The best things to do at Cheval Blanc Maldives

Just because Cheval Blanc is so secluded doesn’t mean there’s not a plethora of activities available at the resort. Here are some of the most sumptuous things to do throughout your stay – with options for both laid-back and lively visitors.

Let your senses run wild at the spa, which is an island dedicated to relaxation. You can indulge in an exclusive range of treatments such as a personalised face mask, reflexology, massages, and body treatments. The spa list is vast with treatments that also soothe the soul – a must try is the Tibetan sound bath.

While all villas come with a private pool, you may want to head over to the main infinity pool that offers the most picturesque views as you glide through the water.

Technically, you can spend days without leaving the luxury of your private villa. Each accommodation has a private pool, hammock, and a large day bed for you to sink into and read a book, enjoy a cocktail, or just sit and watch the natural habitat of the Maldives unfold.

Discover our luxury Maldives holiday offers to find the perfect villa for you.

Sommeliers rejoice as you journey through a range of rare and vintage wines and spirits at Le 1947 Wine Museum. Your experienced guide will take your palate on a rollercoaster ride through a selection of hand-picked beverages and pair them with delectable treats to snack on.

It’s all fine-dining at Cheval Blanc. Five-star fare is offered in all five of the resort's restaurants. Head to restaurant 1957 to indulge in French dishes, or for Japanese and Iberian cuisine visit Diptyque. There are also several lounges across the resort that serve lighter bites, cocktails, and classic coconut water.

Take home a little piece of the Maldives by learning how to create some of the resort's culinary specialties. The on-site pastry chef will show you how to make lighter than air macaroons, lemon tarts, and even a show-stopping souffle.

Masterchef here you come…

Le Carrousel has its own playroom to keep your little ones busy whilst you pamper yourself at the spa or take to the seas on a snorkelling trip. They will bask in the Maldives sun in their own shallow swimming pool, enjoy sports or crafts, or simply jump on the outdoor trampoline.

Select a film, choose your dining option (canopies or dinner) and sink into one of the big beds with the sand between your toes as you enjoy your own private cinema screening—a truly magical experience for couples and families alike.

If your tresses require a little sprucing up after all that salty sea air, you can head to the resort’s Hair Spa by Leonor Greyl. You can get it all from rejuvenating conditioning treatments to full colour and even style new looks.

Of course, as the resort is so private and secluded, there may be times that you will need to hop on a speedboat to do nearby activities. But don’t worry, they’re never that far away. Here are some of the best luxury excursions to explore on your trip.

After a spot of tennis, you can explore the jungle routes or perhaps sit back with a fresh coconut. You can access the courts via speedboat.

Find inner peace with this Moon Salutations Yoga experience. You will travel by Dhoni (a relaxing wooden boat trip) to the Spa Yoga Pavilion, where you will learn how to meditate and relax as well as connect with your body with a range of yoga poses and stretches.

For an experience like no other, this trip will take you to where the giant and majestic manta rays gather. You will adorn your diver’s suit and take to the ocean where you can experience these truly magical creates glide above and around you.

This is a unique snorkelling experience that will collect you by boat and take you out to sea at night, where you will be equipped with a special blue LED filtered light and a yellow filtered mask and sent beneath the waves to explore. The results are a breath-taking and truly memorable way to see what’s happening beneath the ocean at night.

You can experience the Maldives from the skies with your very own private seaplane. Perfect for a romantic couple, but if little ones join, they can get their own pilot’s hat and wings.

This excursion will collect you via boat to take you to explore some of the most magical parts of the Maldives. After your dive, you are taken to the spa for an ‘after dive’ treatment to get you back into a state of relaxation. Then you’ll be whisked away for an indulgent dinner, which consists of fine-dining under the stars at your villa or a more laid-back BBQ on the beach – bliss.

A dhoni is a small wooden boat that will collect you from your villa and take you across the Noonu Atoll waters to explore the lagoon. Sit back and sip champagne while you watch the sunset over the paradise islands of the Maldives.

The nearest airport is Velana International Airport, where you will receive a VIP airport transfer to the island by seaplane, which takes approximately 40 minutes.

Yes! There is a kids club with plenty of activities such as water slides, kids yoga, and even aquatic hikes. Your little ones will also be in awe over the Le Carrousel world, a spectacular 500sqm space bursting with activities such as climbing, swimming, interactive games, and more.

The tropical climate of the Maldives means that there is a hot temperature all year round. The monsoonal seasons dramatically affect the amount of rainfall throughout the year.
