Are you looking to experience some of the most vibrant marine life the Maldives has to offer? Our travel specialists have snorkelled and dived extensively in the Maldives so that we can offer our clients honest recommendations based on our personal experience. With so many resorts in the Maldives to choose from, here is a small selection of resorts we feel stand out because of their excellent house reef.
Dhawa Ihuru, North Male Atoll
Dhawa Ihuru is a tropical paradise situated on one of the most picturesque islands in the Indian Ocean. Accommodation is in 45 villas which offer beachfront access and a veranda complete with a private swing facing the sea. Boasting a vibrant and well preserved house reef featuring the renowned Rannamaari shipwreck, Dhawa Ihuru is the perfect place for snorkelling and scuba diving. Guests may also use the facilities at sister resort Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, where there is a Marine Lab offering activities based around reef conservation.
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, Haa Alif Atoll
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa offers a haven of peace and tranquillity, with spectacular villas offering space and privacy in a beachfront or overwater setting. The resort is surrounded by a crystal clear lagoon with a unique reef that halves a natural channel. The location of the island in the north of the Maldives means the house reef is untouched and the 30 nearby dive spots undisturbed. Guests can experience an outstanding array of marine life, including turtles, manta rays and sharks. Complimentary snorkelling equipment is offered, and there is an excellent dive centre on island.
