Found in the unspoiled Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, Ayada Maldives stands as a testament to refined luxury and authentic Maldivian charm. Esteemed with TripAdvisor’s prestigious “Best of the Best Hotel Award 2023” for the third consecutive year, it is recognized among the world’s top 25 luxury resorts. A tranquil haven just kilometers from the equator, the resort boasts 122 lavish villas and suites, each graced with a private pool, dedicated butler service, and impeccable five-star details.

Gazing over the serene lagoon, the traditional thatched-roof water villas appear to dance atop stilts. Culinary enthusiasts will be delighted by the array of flavors awaiting them across the resort’s six distinctive restaurants and bars. For those seeking utter relaxation, the sprawling spa nestled within lush tropical gardens offers rejuvenating experiences like the Turkish Hammam and Vichy Shower, ensconced within eight private treatment villas.

Surrounded by a pristine coral reef frequented by playful dolphins, Ayada Maldives unfolds a canvas of natural beauty, a paradise for both the adventurous and the serene. Dive into untouched underwater realms, embark on excursions to the equator or local villages, indulge in watersports, or hone your yoga practice.
