In the heart of the Dhaalu Atoll, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean meet powdery white sands, Baglioni Resort Maldives stands as a beacon of Italian sophistication and Maldivian serenity. Just a 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé, this island sanctuary offers more than luxurious villas and breathtaking views, it invites guests to embark on a journey of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. From diving into vibrant coral reefs to savoring Italian-inspired cuisine under the stars, here’s why Baglioni Resort Maldives is the ultimate destination for an unforgettable escape.
Baglioni Resort Maldives is a gateway to the Maldives’ underwater paradise, and the Maagau Dive Centre is at the heart of this adventure. The centre caters to all levels, offering PADI-certified courses for beginners and advanced dives for seasoned explorers. Guests can swim alongside manta rays, sea turtles, and schools of tropical fish, marveling at the vibrant coral reefs that make the Dhaalu Atoll a diver’s dream. For those who prefer a lighter aquatic experience, snorkeling trips reveal the ocean’s beauty just beneath the surface, with all equipment provided as part of the resort’s all-inclusive offerings.
Beyond diving, the resort offers a range of watersports to suit every taste. Non-motorized activities like kayaking and pedals let guests glide across the lagoon, while luxury yacht excursions provide a glamorous way to explore the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re casting a line during a traditional Maldivian fishing trip or simply soaking in the sunset from the deck of a yacht, the ocean adventures at Baglioni Resort Maldives promise memories that will last a lifetime.
Wellness at Baglioni Resort Maldives blends Italian elegance with the tranquil spirit of the Maldives. At the Baglioni Spa guests can indulge in a variety of treatments, from Thai and Balinese massages to facials using Insìum’s vegan, cruelty-free products. The spa’s open-air Yoga Pavilion hosts sessions led by visiting professionals, including kundalini yoga, meditation, and chakra-balancing practices, all designed to restore harmony and balance.
For those who prefer an active approach to wellness, the resort’s 24/7 gym is equipped with cutting-edge facilities, while outdoor activities like beach volleyball and tennis keep guests energized.
Dining at Baglioni Resort Maldives is a celebration of global cuisine with an Italian soul. The resort’s four restaurants and pool bar offer something for every palate.

Yama brings the artistry of Japanese cuisine to the Maldives, while TASTE offers an international buffet that takes guests on a culinary journey around the world. Mirto Pool Bar complements these dining options with refreshing cocktails, aperitivo, and à la carte selections, including wine tastings that showcase the resort’s Italian heritage.
For families, a dedicated Kids’ Menu ensures that even the youngest guests enjoy their meals, while gluten-free options and personalised service cater to diverse dietary needs. For a truly magical experience, guests can arrange a private beach dinner, where the sound of the waves provides the perfect backdrop to an exquisite meal.
Baglioni Resort Maldives is deeply committed to preserving the natural beauty of Maagau Island, and guests are invited to join in these efforts. The Coral Reef Restoration Project, led by the resort’s marine biologists, offers a chance to adopt a coral fragment or participate in educational snorkeling trips to learn about the Maldives’ delicate ecosystem.
Cultural immersion is also a highlight of the Baglioni experience. Guests can enjoy traditional Maldivian Bodu Beru drum performances, beach parties, and cooking classes that blend Italian and Maldivian culinary traditions. These activities offer a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Maldives, seamlessly integrated with the resort’s Italian flair.
