Baglioni vs. Other Resorts

Where this resort sits across the dimensions that matter most when choosing a Maldives property.

Choose Your Villa

96 villas across seven categories — from entry-level Beach Villas to the sprawling 400 sqm Grand Baglioni Villa with a 50 sqm private pool. Most guests choose the Water Villa with Pool or Sunset Beach Villa with Pool for the balance of lagoon views, plunge pool, and price. All pool-category villas feature private plunge pools fed by the surrounding lagoon or garden.

Prices shown are indicative low-season per night. See the season guide in the sidebar for how rates vary by time of year. We'll confirm exact pricing for your dates.

4 Restaurants & 1 Bar

Baglioni's four restaurants and pool bar are all included in the all-inclusive package — there are no supplements or exclusions. Italian fine dining at La Limonaia, teppanyaki theatre at Yama, Middle Eastern fire at Fuego, and the main buffet at Taste. The Mirto Pool Bar doubles as a casual all-day venue with a roaming pizza boat.

Taste

International

Main buffet restaurant with live cooking stations, themed dinner nights, and a broad international menu spanning Asian, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean cuisines. The breakfast spread is a highlight, with Italian pastries and fresh juices.

La Limonaia

Italian

The signature Italian fine dining venue and the resort's culinary centerpiece. Handmade pasta, wood-fired dishes, and a curated Italian wine list. The beachfront setting with feet-in-the-sand tables makes this the most requested reservation.

Yama

Japanese & Teppanyaki

Overwater Japanese restaurant with a teppanyaki counter, sushi bar, and sashimi platters. The open-kitchen format and lagoon-facing setting make it the most theatrical dining venue on the island.

Fuego

Middle Eastern & Asian Grill

Open-flame grill restaurant blending Middle Eastern and Asian flavours — charcoal-grilled meats, mezze spreads, and tandoori dishes served in a torchlit beachfront setting. A strong alternative for guests who want bolder spices.

Dining Inclusions

Baglioni operates exclusively all-inclusive — there is no bed-and-breakfast, half-board, or full-board option. Every guest receives full access to all four restaurants and the pool bar, house wines, beers, spirits, cocktails, and the roaming pizza boat. Premium wines and Champagne are the only supplement.

Your Days on the Island

Dhaalu Atoll offers some of the Maldives' best-preserved coral walls and channel dives, and Baglioni's 360-degree house reef puts turtles and reef sharks within wading distance. On land, the Aura Spa, Nature Academy for kids, and a well-equipped water sports centre round out the experience.

Family-Friendly Features

The Baglioni Kids Club accepts ages 3–15, complimentary under the all-inclusive package. The Nature Academy focuses on environmental education and marine biology — reef walks, conservation talks, and guided snorkeling. A dedicated Junior Spa (ages 5–12) offers child-friendly facials, mini-massages, and nail art. The Two Bedroom Family Beach Villa with Pool provides family-sized accommodation with a private plunge pool and direct beach access.

House Reef & Underwater

The 360-degree house reef surrounds the entire island with multiple shore-access entry points, making it one of the more accessible snorkeling reefs in Dhaalu Atoll. Green turtles, blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, and healthy hard coral are reliably present. Night snorkeling sessions add nurse sharks and octopus to the list. The reef suffered less bleaching than some neighbours due to strong currents and depth. Serious divers can add Dhaalu channel dives for mantas and whale sharks seasonally.

PADI dive center on-site. Night snorkeling available. Marine life observations sourced from dive logs and guest reports.

Transfer from Malé

Forty-five minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport to Dhaalu Atoll. Seaplane operates during daylight hours only. Arrivals after approximately 3:30pm require an airport hotel overnight or a domestic flight to Kudahuvadhoo — the resort arranges both. Return transfer is approximately USD 509 per person.

Who This Resort is For

Baglioni occupies a distinctive niche: the only Italian luxury resort in the Maldives, operating exclusively all-inclusive. The house reef is a genuine strength — 360-degree access, resident turtles, and healthy coral that rivals resorts costing twice as much. Dining is compact but high quality, and the Italian service culture gives it a warmth that larger corporate resorts struggle to replicate. Not for guests wanting ten restaurants or a party scene, but for those who value refinement and a great reef, it delivers.
