Dusit Thani: Maldives' Best Luxury Resort

Dusit Thani Resort in Maldives

At this tropical paradise, you can immerse yourself in warm Thai hospitality and an abundance of natural beauty. The Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll is the first and only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in Maldives, which is just a short trip away from the renowned Dusit Thani Maldives.

When you are at the resort, you can choose to spend your time in one of its over-water villas, wine and dine at its finest restaurants, go for a memorable island adventure, or simply sit back and lounge on the beach. The house reef is teeming with marine life that's perfect for snorkelling, while the Devarana Spa provides an elevated space among the coconut trees with full-service amenities and treatments.

Attractions at Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll

Every year from May to November, the Baa Atoll protected marine park, known also as the Hanifaru Bay, will magically come alive with plankton. This attracts manta rays and whale sharks to forage and frolic in the clear turquoise waters.

Located a mere 15 minutes away by boat, Dusit Thani Maldives provides curious visitors with exclusive front-row seats to all the aquatic actions that will make up a truly unforgettable summer vacation.
