Why we'd send you to Baglioni Resort
Baglioni Resort Maldives represents the Baglioni Hotels & Resorts brand's first venture into the Indian Ocean, and the result is a seamless fusion of Italian luxury and Maldivian natural beauty. Set on Maagau Island in the secluded Dhaalu Atoll — a quiet, pristine corner of the southern Maldives — the resort brings the dolce vita spirit to a tropical setting, around 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé. All 96 villas feature handcrafted Italian furnishings sourced from artisans across Italy, private plunge pools, and bespoke in-villa amenities including Baglioni-branded toiletries, Illy coffee machines, and fine Italian linens.
