Stay over the lagoon with steps into the water.
House reefs
Snorkel straight from the beach at many resorts.

Getting there
Fly to Malé, then a speedboat or seaplane to your resort — the transfer is part of the plan.
Planner's notes
- Each resort is its own island; you stay put, so choose it carefully.
- Seaplane transfers only fly in daylight — late arrivals mean a Malé night.
- Half-board or all-inclusive usually works out better than paying per meal.
