The first Island Resort was opened way back in the 1972 – CLICK HERE to see the details of the 1st Island Resort of Maldives. Tourism is the back-born of the Maldivian economy. In fact, the longest serving president of ours (his Excellency Late Honorable President Mister Maomoon Abdul Qhayoom” said, Tourism is the “hen that lays Golden-Egg”. And to follow this quote, our first-democratic president (Late Honorable President Mister Mohamed Nasheed) disbursed tourism activities and services across the Maldives, establishing “Guest Houses” in uninhabited islands of Maldives.

A unique feature of the resorts in the Maldives is that each resort is a separate island – this is hard to believe. And today Maldives has more than 170 Resort Islands. One thing common, natural and unique of these islands are that each of the island has a house-reef surrounding the island which is full of marine fish and fauna, a lagoon for you to swim around as much as you could, a white sandy beach for you to lie down or play around and abundance of trees and bushes.
In these resorts, some offer you a holiday of total relaxation and peace, others offer many activities and entertainment for you to enjoy. Some are designed using indigenous Maldivian styles while others have incorporated the most modern concepts..

Some resorts offer a real ‘getaway’, of course with all the comforts in your room. These often make it a point to avoid motorized water sports, for the peace and quite you may prefer. At others you may, get away from it all, if you prefer.At the same time, the resorts offer range of activities, entertainment, and games – so that you can get all you want, if you feel like it.
Some resorts maintain the unique Maldivian style; thatched roofing, sand underfoot and traditional-styled staff uniforms with great care.
