Built in the 1980s, Rihiveli is a solid choice with all the essentials for a Maldives vacation -- white-sand beaches, a turquoise lagoon, plenty of free water sports, worthwhile excursions, clean rooms, and decent food. Travelers who want to experience flying in a seaplane should also consider Kuredu Island Resort, which has far better facilities and similar off-peak rates (taking meal plans into account).

Amari Havodda Maldives is a remote, upscale resort situated in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, just over an hour by flight and boat from the capital city of Male. There are 120 villas in total here, half of which are overwater bungalows, the other half are right on the resort’s white-sand beach. Amari Havodda features include a huge pool, a fitness center, a kids’ club, and a dive center with courses and excursions of all ages. Room rates include full board for all guests, but those who plan to do a lot of drinking or activities might find it a better value to upgrade to a regular or premium all-inclusive package. Travelers looking for a less expensive alternative or who don’t plan to eat or drink a lot may want to consider the Olhuveli Beach & Spa Maldives, which offers optional half- and full-board and all-inclusive options.
