Say the word paradise and the Maldives immediately come to mind – a nation made up of over 1000 unique islands with world-renowned diving sites, powdery white sands, glittering turquoise waters, and luxury resorts.
Just a short hop from Dubai, there’s so much more to a holiday here than ‘just a beach’ (even if it’s the most perfect beach you’ll ever find…) We’ve rounded up all the most Instagrammable resorts in the Maldives for those of you who are social media ~savvy~. From underwater residences to spas that make you feel relaxed by just *looking* at pictures, scroll down below for some #FOMO…
Take notes as well since this location will most definitely be your next booking.

Soneva Jani
The younger and slightly cooler sister to Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani is an Instagrammer’s dream and a bucket-list must. From the surrounding crystal clear turquoise waters to the resort’s very chic white-washed interiors there are Insta photo opps aplenty here so you fill your feed with envy-inducing images of #heavenonearth.
How about a carefully curated snap of your prime position at the floating cinema, or a casual shot of an overwater swing seat? And for the ultimate novelty attraction, almost each of the water villas comes with its very own waterslide – now if that isn’t worthy of a reel, a boomerang, and a few hundred pictures then we don’t know what is.

Anantara Dhigu
Let’s face it, getting a bad picture in the Maldives is almost impossible – the color of the ocean, the powder-white beaches, infinity pools and overwater spa are the perfect backdrop for any photo. Well, this resort has it all – and it also shares an impossibly beautiful lagoon with 2 other Anantara hotels, meaning that guests have access to so many restaurants, bars, activities – and Instagram opportunities.
But for that ultimate Maldives snap, Anantara Dhigu is home to an in-water swing for 2, surrounded by the most crystal clear water with a perfect- for-posting (and posing) island background. No filter required.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
A long-term Maldives favorite, the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island features in every ‘best of the Maldives’ list, has won many accolades, and is honestly just jaw-droppingly gorgeous. With 12 bars and restaurants, a lavish underwater spa, a picture-perfect setting, and an overall beautiful design (every single space whether indoors or out is worthy of praise and plenty of photos).
Whether it’s the ultimate sunset capture on your private deck or a #paradise shot of the over-water spa – you are guaranteed to fill your feed with stunning squares whilst staying here. If you want to take your Insta game to the next level then consider THE MURAKA, a luxury first-of-its-kind luxury split level residence with a master bedroom submerged 16 feet below sea level, within a 180 degree curved acrylic dome from which you can watch the marine life swim by (selfie with a reef shark perhaps?).

Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa
We all know that if it’s new, it’s hot – so if you want to up the ante on your Instagram feed then a visit to the only just opened Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa is bound to get your feed buzzing. This gorgeous newbie promises the jet-set crowd a glamorous getaway in picturesque surroundings and serious #vacationgoals. There’s nothing like a sunset shot to pretty up your squares and get all the likes – and few things in life are better than a beautifully positioned bathtub. Combine the 2 with a snap of a bubble-filled bath with panoramic ocean views and you’ve got yourself a winning post.
