The top seven Maldivian Islands for 2024

The Maldives has long been a bucket-list destination. But this is no one-size-fits-all spot; across its glittering waters and idyllic atolls, there are family-friendly hideouts, achingly romantic islands and crowd-pleasing hotels that will suit everyone from grandparents to little ones – all best-discovered with The Turquoise Holiday Company, which was voted the best tour operator in the world in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2023.

Just utter the words “the Maldives” and a series of ethereal, dreamlike images come to mind – endless blue ocean and more than 1,000 coral atolls fringed by sand like caster sugar. It’s the ultimate beach holiday destination and, while it’s long been held in well-deserved lofty reverence when it comes to romantic getaways and honeymoons, families and multi-generational groups have cottoned on in recent years, too.

It’s not just the awe-inspiring landscapes, thriving flora and fauna and life-affirming conservation efforts that draw clued-up travellers here, though. The Maldives is also well-known for its hospitality scene and its spoiling hotels where guests bed down in overwater villas and spend days exploring, feasting on world-class cuisine and being pampered. So it’s no surprise that when it comes to choosing the best hotel for your dream trip, things can get overwhelming. Enter Turquoise Holidays, voted the best tour operator in the world in the 2023 Readers' Choice Awards, which provides first-hand, expert knowledge of its favourite destinations to empower travellers to get the best of any destination. That means you can trust that you’re booking the perfect Maldivian escape to suit you and your loved ones – and for the best price, too.
