Radisson Blu Resort Maldives

LOCATED ON THE Huruelhi Island in the Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, the Radisson Blu Resort Maldives is the perfect base for exploring the Indian Ocean by means of diving, snorkelling, or even whale shark cruises. You can also spend your time playing explorer on the islands around it. Nine kilometres from the hotel is Fenfushi Island, which is home to the 400-year-old Fenfushi Friday Mosque, one of Maldives’ six

World Heritage coral stone mosques. Head to islands like Dhigurah, Mahibadhoo, Maamigili, and Dhangethi to get in touch with the local community. If lounging by the poolside and sipping on cool drinks is more your style, head to Eats & Beats, the poolside bar. If you’re a fan of the classics, Crusoe’s, an adult-only bar themed after the novel Robinson Crusoe, is the place to be. From `47,974; radissonhotels.com
