Most private villas in the Maldives

You’ll experience ultimate luxury with a stay in The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. Crowned as the resort’s largest residence, it’s located on its very own private island, making it perfect for families or larger groups seeking total privacy away from the main resort complex. Plus, you’ll have absolutely everything you need within your own four walls.

The Muraka’s best feature is without a doubt the breath-taking undersea master bedroom complete with an overhead glass ceiling made for watching the sea life elegantly swim past. When (or if) you do decide to venture outside, you’ll have exclusive access to a bunch of private excursions – including hopping on board your very own luxury yacht or diving with a film crew who’ll capture every second of your once-in-a-lifetime experience. 
 

Planning a huge trip for your extended family or a large group of friends? One of the best Maldives private villas is The Crescent at Niyama Private Islands. 

As a quintet of luxurious over-water villas huddled together, this accommodation sleeps up to a total of 14 adults and eight children – meaning you can have an epic holiday all together celebrating a special occasion.

All five pavilions are set on stilts over the translucent lagoon and come with their own private pools. This means you can wake up and decide whether to plunge into the pool or take a dip in the ocean. You also have attentive butlers serving you throughout your stay and a dedicated chef who’ll cook up big delicious dinners at sunset. 
 

In the Grand Sunset Residence at One&Only Reethi Rah, a section of the resort’s 6km stretch of sandy beach is right on your doorstep. It’s like having your very own piece of private paradise. 

The villa’s unique outside space feels secluded too, made even more private by intimate surroundings of lush greenery. You can dine alfresco on the terrace, sunbathe on a cabana, or lounge around your own private pool with a glass of bubbly in hand.

You’ll experience ultimate opulence during your stay at the The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort – especially if you book yourself into The John Jacob Astor Estate. As a three-bedroom property set across two floors, this villa boasts plenty of space and a whole range of exciting private facilities, including your very own cinema and spa treatment rooms. 

So, when you fancy a night in, stick on your favourite film and stock up on snacks. And when you’re seeking a little TLC, head to your private spa for a relaxing pamper treatment of your choice – a pedicure, manicure, or a deep-tissue massage from one of the resort’s expert masseuses. 
 

It’s all in the name of this grand residence at Soneva Fushi – the Private Reserve is the resort’s largest and most opulent accommodation, sleeping up to 18 guests. You barely have to leave the villa.

Craving a workout? No worries, you have your own private gym. Want to sweat out some toxins? Sure, there’s a sauna too. Fancy a quiet drink at the bar? Just head upstairs to your private minibar stocked with all your favourite tipples. The entire family will love the villa’s lagoon-like pool too, complete with a waterslide to provide action-packed fun for all ages.
 

Honeymooners should look no further than the Romantic Residence at Velaa Private Islands. It’s a Maldives private villa specially designed for romantic seclusion away from the world. Raise a glass to your future during dinner on your private sunset terrace. 

It’s only accessible by boat, so you can spend all day and all night cosying up on a cabana without a care. The only other person present will be your private butler, who’s there to wait on you both hand and foot. 

The best islands in the Maldives are completely private, and that’s exactly what you get when staying on the Ithaafushi Private Island at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi.

With nine separate bedrooms, it’s the ultimate accommodation for large groups looking for the ultimate escape from reality. You get the choice of five swimming pools (that’s one for every day), private water sports activities, and even your very own entertainment clubhouse great for champagne-fuelled parties. Best of all, no one will hear the music playing into the early hours of the morning...
