What is the best resort to stay at the maldives?

Flick through the brochures and the luxury resorts on the Maldives tend to look the same - villas on stilts over the water in a paradise setting.

But while the resorts might look similar, each, in fact, offers a very different experience. To guide you with your choice, we visited six of the best luxury resorts. All are good spots for honeymooners and most are also great for divers.

Prices are for seven nights per person based on two sharing a room and include flights and transfers by either seaplane or speed boat. Generally, non-motorised watersports are complimentary.

Dhoni Mighili

Best for: Robinson Crusoes in search of an almost uninhabited island that has a private boat for exploring.

You get the best of both worlds here - there are just six simple bungalows on this tiny island measuring 164 metres by 96m, but each comes with its own 20m traditional Maldivian boat or dhoni plus crew. Visit local islands, anchor at another resort for lunch, have cocktails at sunset followed by dinner on deck, sleep in a hidden cove, or just ask the captain to take you to see some manta rays. The dhonis are more comfortable, larger and more luxurious than rooms in many hotels. With traditional thatch on the outside, the boat cabins are all chic minimalism inside, with Philippe Starck bedside lamps and bathroom accessories, Smeg fridges and Frette linen.

On land, hosts Scott and Donna make you feel you're welcome guests in their home, providing a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with the huge bonus of no fixed meal times. If you want meals of carrot and ginger soup, Sri Lankan fish curry and delicious warm chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream on the beach by moonlight with water lapping at your feet, no problem.
