Maldives journeys & collections
Start from an idea, then make it yours.
Two signature journeys, the island routes we have sketched, and four collections of retreats chosen around one interest. Each is a starting point, redrawn around your dates and your party.
Signature journeys
A reason to come.
Complete ideas, each with the retreats chosen for it.
The honeymoon, kept quiet.
A Maldives honeymoon planned for two — adults-only islands, overwater villas set apart, and the kind of quiet a wedding week never allows. Replied to within a day.
Resort stay4 retreats
Your first Maldives.
Planning a first trip to the Maldives — which atoll, which transfer, beach villa or overwater, and how long to stay. A short, honest guide, and houses chosen to make the first time the easy one.

Island routes
Two or three islands, one journey.
Starting drafts across the local islands — we redraw them around your dates and pace.
The Slow Retreat
6 days · two islands
An agricultural opening on Thoddoo — the watermelon fields, the papaya rows, a long supper under the mango trees — followed by the quiet lagoon of Dhiffushi. The country at its most pastoral.
Start from this routeThe Vaavu Circuit
6 days · two islands · one atoll
Two neighbouring islands in the country's great dive atoll — Thinadhoo, car-free and lamplit, at the edge of Fotteyo's channels; then Fulidhoo for the offshore sandbar and the bodu beru after dark. The nurse-shark night dive, the bioluminescent lagoon, and the long Vaavu reef.
Start from this routeThe Three-Island Route
8 days · three islands
Thulusdhoo for the surf line, Maafushi for the working village, Thoddoo for the fields. A short composed arc across three islands held by avé — the country in three voices.

Resort collections
Retreats chosen around one interest.
Design-led
Studio MK27 concrete, Gathy pavilions, interiors that know exactly what they are doing — retreats chosen for how they are built.
Family
Kids’ clubs that are actually good, lagoons calm enough for first swims, and villas that sleep everyone.
Couples
Overwater quiet, tables set apart, and islands where the evening belongs to you.
Wellbeing
Serious spas, resident practitioners, and programmes that outlast the flight home.
