The Maldives no longer has a pre-travel COVID-19 testing requirement, although travelers must complete the Maldivian Traveler Declaration Form within the 96 hours prior to their flight departing to and departing from the Maldives. Note that your passport must be machine readable and have at least one month's validity, you must have pre-booked your hotel accommodation and have sufficient funds for your intended period of stay, you must have a confirmed airline ticket for return to your home country or for onward travel, and travelers from certain African and South American countries must present a yellow fever vaccination certificate.
The Maldives are our favorite luxury water villa destination, thanks to the destination's long-time focus on luxury, experiential travel with an emphasis on great amenities and service, rather than cookie cutter cheap holidays. New resorts have further raised the bar. For 2025 these are the top Maldives luxury resort offers:
1. Cheval Blanc Randheli: Stay 7, Pay 5
Cheval Blanc Randheli remains our favorite Maldives luxury resort, thanks to its gorgeous, airy villas with vaulted ceilings, fantastic dining and culinary experiences (our best fine dining dinner in the Maldives was at Le 1947 Restaurant), and excellent spa, tennis, snorkeling and diving facilities. We were even fortunate enough to view two octopuses/octopi hunting together.
