Radisson Blu Resort Maldives

Radisson Blu Resort Maldives is a luxury resort by the Radisson group, opened in 2020 in the Ari Atoll. Reachable by a roughly 30-minute seaplane flight, the resort is built on a purpose-designed island. Its most distinctive feature is the heart-shaped overwater villa layout — seen from above, the water villa area forms a romantic heart silhouette, an extraordinary rarity in the Maldives and a favorite with drone photographers and honeymooners alike. All 128 villas come with private pools, reflecting its six-star positioning, while personal butler service ensures a bespoke luxury experience for every guest. It earns perfect 5-out-of-5 scores for beach quality and honeymoon suitability, underscoring its romantic identity. Five restaurants and four bars provide an extensive dining selection, with Half Board, Full Board, and All-Inclusive meal plans available. A Chinese-speaking service team is on hand, the kids' club is well-equipped, the PADI dive center is professionally run, and the spa offers soothing treatments. Romantic experience packages abound, and professional wedding photography services are available. Overwater net seats add to the romantic ambiance. The Radisson brand's international service standards are upheld beautifully here. The resort holds a 4.7 rating from over 2,300 reviews on TripAdvisor and a 9.0 on Agoda.
