When you seek the ultimate relaxation and indulgence in the Maldives, look no further than the exquisite all-inclusive resort, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO.

The ultimate all-inclusive escape in the Maldives

What you need to know before you go

Nestled on its own private island of Maadhoo in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this luxurious five-star escape redefines barefoot luxury with its harmonious zen design aesthetic and exceptional amenities. Their INDULGENCE™ Plan embraces non-motorised water sports, a sunset cruise, a sunset fishing trip, unlimited snorkelling outings, and even inclusive spa treatments or dives, determined by your length of stay – for six to eight nights; it’s two 60-minute therapies or two dives.

That’s in addition to all-inclusive dining and drinking in five restaurants and three bars (one a gin bar with rare brands), including premium champagne and fine wines, and daily replenished mini bars. But of all the amazing restaurants, it’s most famous for its M6m (Minus Six Meters) underwater restaurant serving delicious seafood and wine pairings six metres below the water’s surface surrounded by exotic marine life. OZEN Life MAADHOO also pleases foodies with treats ranging from champagne breakfasts to Maldivian small plates based on age-old local traditions at LONU, a Maldivian concept restaurant.

Discover redefined elegance

By Maldivian standards, this is an intimate resort of just 95 overwater and beach villas spread across a lagoon, many with private pool and all with modern, nature-inspired architecture and décor. Some have a romantic feel, others have been specially designed to suit families of various sizes. The super-luxurious Residence at the tip of the pier, with its 35m² infinity pool, overwater hammocks, and private artificial beach, has three bedrooms, sleeping up to eight. Among great places to escape from it all are laidback Hudhu Bay beach club, while at the heart of the resort is Joie de Vivre, a pool bar and pizzeria with signature cocktails and some of the loveliest sunset views in the South Malé Atoll.

The activities on offer

This is a resort for all ages and tastes, including those who love to get active and try new things, including kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, banana-boat riding, and flyboarding. There’s fabulous snorkelling right from the beach, as well as complimentary twice-daily trips to nearby snorkelling sites to swim near nurse sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles. For divers, the PADI dive school and water sports centre runs trips to incredible dive locations to see manta rays, whale sharks, and shipwrecks.

Other facilities here include an overwater gym and a floodlit tennis court, and if you come with children, there’s a gem of a kids’ club. There’s plenty to entertain them while you indulge in the spa with its 100% organic treatments, including traditional Ayurvedic therapies. You can even choose and customise your own Naturopathic Wellness Journey under the guidance of expert practitioners and therapists, with your extra package, including consultations, a spa treatment, one wellness activity a day, a bath ritual, and daily infused water in your villa, wellness menus in all restaurants, and recommendations for post-holiday home care.
