Awarded TripAdvisor's “Best of the Best Hotel Award 2023 " for an exceptional third consecutive year and also listed among the top 25 luxury resorts worldwide, Ayada Maldives is a luxury private island resort offering a truly luxurious retreat with a genuine Maldivian style. Set in the relatively unexplored Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll in the south of the country, just a few kilometers from the equator. Ayada Maldives is accessible via a domestic transfer (55 minutes) from Malé International Airport to Kaadedhdhoo or Maavarulu (the local airport) , which is then followed by a boat transfer (25 to 55 minutes) to the resort.
The island offers 122 spacious villas and suites, all with private pools, butler service, and thoughtful five-star detailing, except for the newly built 10 Garden Villas. Traditional thatched-roof water villas stand on stilts over the resort's peaceful lagoon, while beach villas offer absolute privacy amid tropical greenery alongside powder-soft palm-lined white beaches. Food lovers can explore the eight restaurants and bars, while those seeking complete relaxation will find their haven in the large spa set in beautiful tropical gardens which boasts a Turkish Hammam as well as a Vichy Shower and eight private treatment villas.
The resort is noted for its gardens and tropical greenery and is ringed by a pristine coral reef where dolphins are frequent visitors. The active can explore the area on a host of excursions that include visits to the equator, local villages, and fishing trips, while at the resort they can play tennis or badminton, take up watersports, learn yoga, or simply hit the 24-hour gym. Outstanding diving and snorkeling opportunities surround the island on reefs that have barely been visited by humans while some of the country's best surfing breaks are just a quick speedboat journey away. Weddings take place just before sunset in the private wedding chapel set in a treelined garden or on the beach under a gazebo draped with flowing material.
