Milaidhoo Maldives is in Tripadvisor's top 1% of hotels worldwide for 2026
In this article
Milaidhoo Maldives has been named in Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026. That puts the Baa Atoll resort among the top 1% of hotels worldwide, judged on guest reviews and ratings rather than by a panel.
Why guests rate it so highly
Milaidhoo has something most Maldives resorts make you choose between: an outstanding house reef and a clear turquoise lagoon on the same island. The reef takes over an hour to swim round, and the drop-off holds very large schools of fish.
It is small, with 50 villas, and minutes from Hanifaru Bay. From May to November the resort runs three guided manta trips a week there with its own marine biologist. Sightings depend on tide, moon and current, so nobody can promise them.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
It suits couples and honeymooners. Milaidhoo takes nobody under eight and has no children's club, so it is not a resort for young families.
It is a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana, and seaplanes fly in daylight only. If you land after 15:30, the resort moves you onto a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo and a short boat ride at the same rate.
