Before presenting you with our top 10 of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, let us quickly explain the differences between the different packages that you could find.
Not all all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives are created equal. Understanding the differences is essential when comparing the top all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives.
In this ranking of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, you’ll get options in all 3 of these categories, from “limited” packages to ulta unlimited at Kudadoo and Soneva Jani.
Below is our carefully curated ranking of the best all-inclusive luxury resorts in the Maldives for 2026, based on inclusions, dining quality, service, exclusivity and overall value.
As a summary, here are our favorites:
Kudadoo Private Island remains the gold standard for all-inclusive luxury resorts in the Maldives and our number one recommendation for 2026. With just 15 expansive overwater residences, Kudadoo offers total privacy and one of the most complete all-inclusive concepts ever created in the Maldives, making it our top all-inclusive resort for honeymoon.
The resort’s famous Anything, Anytime, Anywhere philosophy means exactly what it says. Guests can dine whenever and wherever they want, enjoy unlimited spa treatments, dive daily, book private excursions and access premium wines and champagne without restrictions. There are no menus with exclusions and no awkward limitations.
Kudadoo is not adults-only but the fact that there is no kids-club make it ideal for honeymooners and couples celebrating special occasions as you would very rarely see families with children there.
As you could expect at the most recommended all-inclusive resort in the Maldives, the villas are among the largest you will see, service is deeply personalised, and sustainability is at the heart of the resort’s design.
What exactly is included at Kudadoo Private Island?
At Kudadoo Private Island, there is no headache trying to understand what is or isn’t included. The exceptions are rare and will most likely never affect you.
PADI certifications, private yacht charter, dining at 5.8 underwater restaurant, ultra premium wines and champagnes like Dom Pérignon, Caviar, the boutique and tips are the only things that will cost extra.

Hurawalhi is one of the most popular adults-only all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, offering an excellent balance between luxury and value in 2026. The resort is particularly famous for its underwater restaurant (5.8), which adds a unique experience rarely found at this price level.
Hurawalhi’s all-inclusive plan includes meals across multiple restaurants, a generous beverage selection and a range of activities. While spa treatments are not included, the overall package significantly reduces on-island expenses, making Hurawalhi one of the best value all-inclusive luxury hotels in the Maldives.

Soneva Jani represents one of the most elevated interpretations of all-inclusive luxury in the Maldives, thanks to its Soneva Unlimited Plan.
This plan goes far beyond standard food-and-drinks packages, placing Soneva Jani among the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives for 2026 for travellers seeking complete freedom.
The Soneva Unlimited Plan includes dining across all restaurants, premium beverages, unlimited spa treatments, diving for certified divers, water sports and curated experiences. The philosophy is centred around wellness, creativity and barefoot luxury rather than traditional resort structures.

Ozen Reserve Bolifushi stands out among the top all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives because of its very comprehensive package that does not break the bank.
The Indulgence Plan covers all meals, premium beverages, selected excursions and water sports as well as complimentary spa treatment (once every 4 nights). This makes it one of the easiest all-inclusive luxury resorts to budget for, as the most expensive elements of a Maldives holiday are already included.
Ozen Reserve Bolifushi is ideal for travellers who want broad inclusions without stepping into ultra-luxury price territory.
What exactly is included with the Indulgence Plan?
Niyama Private Islands offers one of the most diverse resort experiences among the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives. Spread across two islands, Niyama combines family-friendly energy with unique dining venues, including an underwater restaurant (at extra cost) and treetop dining.
Its all-inclusive plan includes meals, beverages and selected experiences, making it ideal for travellers who want flexibility rather than an ultra-structured package.
As mentioned in our review of Niyama Private Islands, the Dine Around, included in the all-inclusive package is highly recommended as it gives you access to all the restaurants, excepted Subsix.
Technically, it is not really an all-inclusive, but more a Full Board + Alcohol package. Therefore, it is really customizable, as you could for instance take Half Board Dine Around + Alcohol package if you are not big eaters. If you are looking for the best all-inclusive resort in the Maldives that include EVERYTHING, this may not be the right fit for you.

Here are the most frequently asked questions that we receive about the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives.
For 2026, Kudadoo Private Island is widely considered the best all-inclusive luxury resort in the Maldives. Its Anything, Anytime, Anywhere concept includes unlimited dining, spa treatments, diving, excursions and premium beverages, with no restrictions.
Yes, especially at luxury level. Alcohol, activities, spa treatments and excursions are extremely expensive in the Maldives. Choosing one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives often results in better value and a more relaxed experience without constantly checking prices. If you do not drink alcohol, though, it may not be worth it.
This depends on the resort. Most all-inclusive hotels in the Maldives include meals and drinks. More advanced luxury packages also include excursions, water sports and sometimes spa treatments. Ultra-luxury resorts like Kudadoo or Soneva Jani include almost everything on the island.
In most cases, no. Seaplane or speedboat transfers are usually charged separately. A notable exception is Ozen Reserve Bolifushi, where speedboat transfers are included in the Indulgence Plan. Our quotes always include the extra costs for transfers so won’t have any last-minute surprise.
Classic all-inclusive resorts focus mainly on food and drinks. Ultra-luxury all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives go much further, offering unlimited spa treatments, diving, destination dining and private excursions, creating a truly worry-free experience.
They work extremely well for both. Honeymooners appreciate adults-only resorts like Kudadoo or Hurawalhi, while families often prefer resorts like Niyama or Soneva Jani, where activities and dining variety are fully included.
Yes. Through preferred partnerships and private offers, we manage to secure discounts of up to 35% on some of the top all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, along with added benefits such as upgrades or complimentary experiences.
Absolutely. Demand remains strong, but many resorts are offering attractive value-added packages and limited-time promotions for 2026, making it an excellent year to book a luxury all-inclusive stay in the Maldives.
While many exceptional all-inclusive hotels exist in the Maldives, Kudadoo Private Island remains the most complete and uncompromising luxury all-inclusive resort for 2026. That said, resorts like Hurawalhi, Soneva Jani, Ozen Reserve Bolifushi and Niyama Private Islands offer outstanding alternatives depending on travel style and expectations.
Choosing the right all-inclusive resort in the Maldives is about understanding what is truly included and selecting the experience that best fits how you want to travel.
