1. Mirihi Island Resort Maldives
One of the smallest resort-islands in the Maldives, 350 meters long by 50 meters wide, in the middle of a paradise of waters of incredible colors. It has only 39 rooms, fully renovated in 2014.
The Mirihi focuses on its incredible location, in the South Ari Atoll, the best place in the Maldives and one of the best in the world to see the whale shark. Not only that, but you can also see reef
sharks, manta rays, turtles. They have a magnificent beach and reef. It can be reached by seaplane in 30 minutes from Malé, or also more economically on a domestic flight of about 20 minutes plus another 30 transfer by boat. The dream rooms are divided into villas over the water and villas on the beach. They have both with a 2 bedroom villa option. Despite having so few rooms, Mirihi Maldives has 4 restaurants.
2: Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
This is one of the most romantic hotels in the Maldives, located on a small island that has an almost perfect circle shape seen from above. It is located in the heart of one of the largest and deepest natural atolls in the world. This resort is very romantic and perfect for a honeymoon. Hadahaa Island is a natural paradise, in a secluded part of the Maldives, which allows for a very authentic experience. The careful integration of the resort into nature makes the Park Hyatt an ideal place to escape and relax. The resort has only 50 villas, both on the beach and on the water.

4: Conrad Maldives Rangali
This tropical resort is located on two islands connected by a bridge, about 30 minutes by seaplane from Malé Airport. Although this transfer is short, the feeling is of a remote and paradisiacal island. It is close to the Mirihi, another of the hotels for couples that we discuss in this article. The resort has long sandy beaches that allow you to be almost alone, even in high season. It also has a good reef for practical snorkeling. Especially for couples and honeymooners, the Conrad offers a sandbar picnic, which consists ofa day trip, where you are taken by yacht to a desert island and left alone to enjoy lunch. An unforgettable experience. The beach villas are on the main island, while the water villas are perhaps a better option for couples, because they are more private and romantic, adorned with candles and with direct access to the warm ocean.
5: Cheval Blanc Randheli, Maldives
Cheval Blanc Randheli belongs to the ultra-luxury hotel chain of the French luxury brand LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy). From the moment you get on your private seaplane you notice the differential touch. It will take you to the Noonu Atoll where the resort is located, occupying several small islands.

Surrounded by spectacularly clear waters, very close to the rooms we can find living coral reefs, which makes the natural ecosystem really distinctive in this resort. For a private dinner as a couple, the resort offers several special dining experiences throughout the island.
