OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort Earns Tripadvisor Best of the Best Recognition

OUTRIGGER Maldives Resort Ranked Among Tripadvisor’s Top All-Inclusive Resorts

OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort has been recognised in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2026, securing a place among the top-rated all-inclusive resorts based on guest reviews and ratings.

The resort was ranked fifth in Asia and 21st globally in Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best All-Inclusive Resorts category. The annual awards are based on traveller feedback collected over the previous 12 months and recognise properties that consistently receive positive guest reviews.

Located in South Ari Atoll, the resort offers an island retreat surrounded by beaches, lagoons, and marine life, providing visitors with opportunities to experience the Maldives’ natural environment.

Guests can explore the surrounding waters through snorkelling and diving excursions, with the region known for sightings of whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles and coral reef ecosystems. South Ari Atoll remains one of the locations in the Maldives where whale sharks can be encountered year-round.

The resort’s accommodation, dining venues and wellness facilities form part of its all-inclusive offering, while Navasana Spa provides a range of treatments and wellness experiences inspired by the island environment.

Marine Conservation Remains a Key Focus

The recognition also highlights the resort’s ongoing commitment to marine conservation and environmental awareness.

Supported by an on-site marine biologist, the resort conducts educational programmes, guided snorkelling experiences, and coral conservation initiatives to encourage greater understanding of the Maldives’ marine ecosystems.

These activities form part of OUTRIGGER Resorts & Hotels’ wider sustainability efforts across its portfolio of island and beachfront destinations.

John Allanson, General Manager of OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort, said the recognition reflects the experiences shared by guests and the dedication of the resort team in delivering quality hospitality and service.
