Nestled within the exquisite Emboodhoo Lagoon, the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives forms part of Crossroads Maldives, the country’s first and only integrated resort.

If beach life is your preference, then prepare to be surprised when visit the Maldives … you’ll feel right at home. This tropical nation is a place of relaxation, rest and tranquility.

Offering the sunny side of life, the Maldives is blessed with magical and breathtaking displays of sunshine for the better part of a year. This is where sands are white as the smiles of the locals, where fish swim happily in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where the weather is a dream and the deep rays of the sun wait to engulf you.

Comprised of 26 ring-shaped atolls, which are made up of more than 1,000 coral islands, the Maldives is known for its beaches, blue lagoons and extensive reefs.

The warm weather means the islands are popular for snorkeling and diving.

The capital, Malé, has a busy fish market, restaurants and shops on the main road, Majeedhee Magu, and 17th-century Hukuru Miskiy (also known as Friday Mosque) made of carved white coral. High visibility and diverse marine life, including manta rays and spotted whale sharks, which can grow to 12 metres long. Other popular water activities include swimming, surfing, sea kayaking and jet-skiing.

Travel by boat or seaplane is common on inter-island trips from Malé to uninhabited islands or small fishing villages, many of which offer guesthouses or homestays. The most typical travel accommodations are luxury spa resorts and overwater bungalows on wooden stilts.
