The best luxury business villas in the Maldives

One of the best luxury business villas in the Maldives is also one of the biggest – the grand John Jacob Astor Estate at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli.

Split across two floors, this beautiful and spacious overwater villa has everything your corporate party needs – three separate bedrooms, large living spaces, and a wealth of leisure facilities including its own infinity swimming pool. And although it’s only a three-bedroom property, it can sleep up to 12 guests without any tight squeezing.  

Elsewhere in the resort, you can go all out and treat your employees to an extra special corporate day-out by chartering a luxury yacht. A private chef will join onboard and cook up a delicious dinner just in time for sunset. 

Best part for business trips: The private cinema room with an 85” screen TV – ideal if an urgent conference call comes in.

The Raffles Royal Residence at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo occupies its own stretch of beach, making it one of the most private luxury business villas in the Maldives. But despite its intimate setting, you certainly don't lack space. 

When conjoined with two adjacent villas, the residence sleeps up to 15 guests. Together you can spend the days lounging on the villa’s huge roof terrace or taking a dip in the expansive 40-metre pool. An early morning swim has never felt so magnificent. 

Elsewhere in the resort, some of you can go for pampering treatments at the Raffles spa while others opt for something a little more thrilling like a diving excursion with the resort’s freediving master and coach, Bastien Soleil. 

Best part for business trips: The private bar stocked with fine wines and unique liquors. Did someone say free bar?

For a slightly smaller but just as luxury water villa, how about the Four-Bedroom Water Reserve at Soneva Jani? With its compact layout, it’s perfect for closer-knit corporate groups.

Inside you have premium-style reception rooms including an indoor lounge, dining room, and open-plan kitchen. And outside there’s a private swimming pool, sofas, and a large deck perfect for sunny alfresco dining. There’s even a waterslide when you feel like really letting loose and acting like big kids for the afternoon.

Best part for business trips: Your personal butler will be there for anything you need throughout your stay, including unlimited food and drink.

Ithaafushi Private Island at Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi is actually the largest private island accommodation in the whole of the Maldives. It’s what you book when you really want to splash out on a huge luxury Maldives corporate getaway. You simply can’t get bigger or better than this.

There are nine large bedrooms, all separated into different living quarters (a water villa, beach villa, and a private residence) – which means everyone can have their privacy. The facilities are out-of-this-world too, including a whopping five swimming pools, private water sports options, and a fully-equipped entertainment clubhouse.

Work hard, play hard - right? 

Best part for business trips: The whole entire island. It’s hard to beat this one. 

Coming in at a close second is another of the best luxury business villas in the Maldives – the Private Reserve at Soneva Fushi. It’s the resort’s biggest accommodation by far, so expect lots of space and plenty of things to do all within the villa's four walls.

The villa’s vibes are very luxury desert-island fantasy. It’s like having your own private mansion in the middle of a Maldives jungle – with an extra touch of opulence thanks to its modern leisure amenities, including huge flat-screen TVs and lagoon-like pools featuring a waterslide. 

Plus, you have access to your very own in-villa steam room, sauna, and gym, perfect for a relaxing lunch break at the villa. 

Best part for business trips: The choice of stylish nine bedrooms, all with adjoining ensuite bathrooms. 

Yes absolutely. It's the perfect place to mix business and pleasure. On top of its gorgeous paradise setting, there’s a wide selection of comfortable and convenient private villas to stay in, and plenty of things to do and see too. What’s more, your employees will forever appreciate the opportunity for their once-in-a-lifetime trip.

It all depends on what your guest like and dislike doing. Give the group free rein to do as they please and don't be afraid to split them if everyone wants to spend their time doing different things. Maldives resorts are packed full of different leisure and recreational options – sunbathers can spend the day lounging on the beach whilst thrill-seekers can sample exciting water sports. 

However, a real crowd-pleaser that everyone can enjoy together is booking the best table at your resort’s nicest restaurant – a few incredible plates of food and free-flowing champagne keeps everyone happy.
