Jumeirah Maldives Ohahali Island

Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island is a seven-star ultra-luxury resort by Dubai's Jumeirah group, opened in 2021. Located in North Male Atoll, it can be reached by a roughly 50-minute seaplane flight. The resort's most extraordinary distinction is its perfect scores across all six categories — snorkeling, lagoon, beach, family, photography, and honeymoon all receive a full 5 out of 5. This is achieved by only a handful of Maldivian resorts and reflects both its top-tier quality and the 'Dubai royal standard' of luxury. Its 'snorkeling superstar' reputation is well-earned: coral reefs encircle the entire island, and vibrant tropical fish, graceful sea turtles, manta rays, and even whale sharks are regular visitors, making this a true snorkeler's paradise. With only 77 villas, the resort maintains a boutique feel, and every room features a private pool for maximum privacy. Butler service meets seven-star standards, and a Chinese-speaking team is available. Three restaurants and two bars offer refined cuisine, the kids' club is first-rate, and a private cinema and stargazing deck add romance to the evenings. The PADI dive center is professionally run, and the spa ranks among the finest in the Maldives. Jumeirah's signature Arabian-inspired luxury hospitality is on full display. The resort holds a remarkable 4.93 rating from over 600 reviews on TripAdvisor.
