Though the Maldives are known for swaying palm trees, long stretches of white sand beach, colorful reefs, friendly locals and great dining options, the islands are also known for their overwater villa choices. With 4 and 5 star overwater resorts dotting the islands from north to south, east the west, it's easy to find both comfort and luxury dressed with a touch of privacy. However, if you're seeking a truly private experience and have the money to pay for it, you'll want to skip all of the other resorts and instead focus solely on the Maldives Private Island at Voavah.

This Four Seasons resort located within the Baa Atoll is one for the record books with an impressive amount of rooms situated in both land and overwater accommodations. In fact, guests who rent out the island will find that in total, 22 people can stay on island, due to the large amount of space available. This is because on-site, guests will find a 2 bedroom overwater villa, a 3 bedroom beach villa, 2 Mezzanine Suites, a 2 bedroom staff apartment and 2 Voavah Summer Cabins.

Though prices do vary season to season, all inclusive nightly rates for 22 guests and use of the entire island start off at US$46,360.

A large overwater villa alongside land accommodations

The overwater villa is not only large in size with an impressive 5,952 sq ft of living space to call your own, but houses floor to ceiling amenities. Some of these include 2 king size beds, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a powder room with shower, an attached children’s room, a private bar and a caffeine station. Once on your own private deck, you’ll also find hammocks, deck loungers, a 17 metre long sunset pool and private steps that lead directly into the ocean itself, allowing for easy afternoon swims.

On-site security, a spa and beach fun

Outside of your beautiful overwater villa oasis, you’ll find a library, a gym, motorized beach toys, a pool table in the loft lounge, manta ray viewing (during season) and a PADI 5-star diving center. If security is a concern, you’ll find comfort in the single entry access, the 24 hour patrols and the night-vision CCTV.

 

Once you’re settled in, you’ll also want to take advantage of the on-site Ocean of Consciousness Spa. Here you’ll find a variety of massages and treatments, all with a gorgeous view of the island and ocean. Once your spa session has ended, you can then take a swim, do some snorkeling, enjoy the underwater world with a scuba diving trip, view the impressive manta rays or take a boat ride to the nearby Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giraavaru for a nice dinner or two.

A private yacht just for you

During the entire visit, guests will find that they also have exclusive use of the resort’s 19 metre yacht, the Voavah Summer, in which they can use to visit other islands, reefs for snorkeling or for sunset cruising. Though the private resort itself does not house a restaurant or bar, guests will find themselves privy to a private chef and staff that happily provide beach dining options, poolside barbecues, beach parities, in villa dining and theme nights.

      We are simply an online guide to overwater resorts around the world and we don’t do bookings. We have links to the best source to book each resort on each of the pages. Best of luck! -Roger

      Unfortunately there are no overwater bungalows that can accommodate 8 people. Most of them are built for 2 or 3 people and even the rare resorts with 2-bedroom units charge a fortune for those. You are best off looking for 3 separate normal overwater bungalows for your group. -Roger

    1. Katherine,

      I cover most of this in my article on when to go to the Maldives. The short version is that there are pros and cons to any time of the year. It’s really only late May through early July when you might get hours of rain at a time. The rest of the year the rain tends to come quickly and usually end in 20 minutes or less. I think most people actually prefer to go to the Maldives when the weather is worst where they live, because it’s always warm and pleasant in the Maldives. -Roger

  4. I’m just in the beginning stages of planning an anniversary vacation for around Sept if next year so I know it’s to early to book but wanted to know where I should be looking for the best rates on fights from atlanta Georgia. We want an over water bungalow all inclusive or mostly all inclusive lunch and dinner with drinks/alcohol included. And a few activities. If you know of 2 or 3 options that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

      There are a few very expensive all-inclusive overwater bungalow resorts in the Caribbean, but none in Bora Bora or anywhere else in the South Pacific. If you really want all-inclusive then the Maldives is your best bet as they have about 25 resorts there that are all inclusive or offer all-inclusive options. You’ll probably get the cheapest flights from Atlanta to the Maldives about 5 months out. And you’ll usually get the best rates at a resort from 3 to 6 months out. Have a great trip. -Roger

      I get this question a lot and it always surprises me. I wish I could help, but we are an online guide to overwater hotels and we have nothing to do with construction of them. You might consider contacting construction firms in the Maldives, since most of the world’s overwater resorts are there and they keep building new ones. -Roger
