The Maldives has once again proven its place among the world’s premier travel destinations, with three resorts from the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio voted among the Top 20 Best Resorts in the Indian Ocean in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025.

Recognized globally as one of the most trusted honors in travel, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards celebrate the finest destinations, resorts, and experiences worldwide. The accolades are particularly significant for reflecting the authentic voices and sentiments of travellers, based on their firsthand experiences.

“These recognitions are especially meaningful because they come directly from travellers who have experienced our resorts and taken the time to vote,” said Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President, Luxury, Asia Pacific (excluding China) at Marriott International. “They reflect the dedication of our teams who consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and create moments that stay with our guests long after their journey ends. We are deeply grateful to our loyal guests for their continued trust and appreciation.”

These distinctions reinforce the Maldives’ reputation as a leading destination for luxury and experiential travel, while highlighting Marriott Bonvoy’s exceptional hospitality and world-class service across its island resorts.
