The Maldives re-opened its borders on 15th July 2020. The country has taken plenty of measures to maximise safety, with no COVID cases outside of Male and the Maldives has been awarded a safe travel stamp endorsed by the World Travel Organisation. Furthermore, direct flights from London Heathrow makes it a brilliantly accessible destination.
Having visited over 30 islands, we know which private villa or private island is right for you. Islands are accessible by domestic flight, speedboat or seaplane all of which can be shared or chartered.
Here are some amazing deals available to you at some of our favourite Maldivian islands…
Baros
The simple but cosy villas are a great base from which to explore one of the most beautiful house reefs in The Maldives. We can personally recommend you try the ‘Kashi keyo’ ice cream and their Lighthouse restaurant is a highlight of any stay. Baros has a peaceful environment with an age restriction of 8 years old.

Six Senses Laamu focuses on sustainability and has been named the leading eco-resort in The Maldives.

Gili Lankanfushi
Wix Squared was actually dreamed up from the floating veranda of one of the ultra-private Crusoe Residences. We have visited this island a few times and find it hard to stay away. Gili has recently undergone a huge refurbishment and their Robinson Crusoe eco-friendly style is the perfect setting to soak up the turquoise waters from a submerged hammock or whilst indulging in their delicious ‘tasting journey’.

The island offers an understated level of luxury with excellent food and service. The COMO Shambhala Spa was a highlight of our stay and is sure to make a lasting impression with Wix Squared guests too.

There are often in-house DJ’s and it is home to the world’s first underwater spa.
