How this hotel guide works
Every stay is placed in its atoll from its published coordinates, not from the address line, which in the supplier feed often names Malé for resorts many kilometres away. Records that appeared twice were merged, and records whose coordinates fall in open sea or contradict their own name were left out.
Each property page shows the photos, facilities and guest reviews from the feed, the straight-line distance from Velana International Airport and the nearest domestic airport, and a booking box that opens live availability on app.impt.io. No prices are shown on this site; rates are always checked live for your dates.
Questions
How many hotels and resorts are listed?
1,502 stays: 221 resorts, 1,047 local-island guesthouses and 234 city hotels in Malé and Hulhumalé.
Which atoll has the most places to stay?
North Ari Atoll (249), followed by North Malé Atoll (235) and Malé & Hulhumalé (234).
Which atoll has the highest average guest score?
Among atolls with at least ten rated stays, Huvadhu Atoll (Gaafu) averages 4.8 out of 5.
What is the difference between a resort and a local-island guesthouse?
A resort usually occupies its own island and runs everything on it, transfers included. A guesthouse sits on an inhabited local island, where local laws apply: dress codes away from designated bikini beaches and no alcohol.
How are stays ranked?
By guest score, weighted for the number of reviews (a Wilson lower bound), so a 4.9 from twelve reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from a thousand.
How far are the resorts from Velana airport?
Of 221 resorts, 57 are within about 45 km of the airport, usually reached by speedboat; 108 are 45 to 160 km away, usually reached by seaplane or a domestic flight and a boat; and 56 are further, reached by a domestic flight.
Which atolls have the most resorts?
North Malé Atoll (43), South Malé Atoll (23) and Raa Atoll (22) have the most resorts in this guide.
How many stays list a private beach or diving?
462 stays list a private beach and 813 list diving among their facilities. Use the facilities filter on each atoll page to find them.
