Hard Rock Hotel Maldives

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

The Hard Rock name has hit the Maldives, bringing its inimitable chill out scene to the ultimate laidback location. A new concept in the Maldives, it’s more than just barefoot luxury and days of sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling (although there’s plenty of that too). A footbridge links you to The Marina @ CROSSROADS, where a Hard Rock Cafe, SAii Beach Club, and a dining village await. And, being a Hard Rock hotel, you’ll also find VIP-worthy treats in store, like Rock Spa® treatments, super-chic eateries (The All-Inclusive option here takes your taste buds beyond the resort too, meaning you can dine around at SAii Lagoon and The Marina @ CROSSROADS), and exclusive ‘Sound of Your Stay’ music moments, including complimentary use of Fender guitars and Crosley turntables — all just 15 minutes speedboat ride from the airport.

We’ve just had the most amazing 12-night family holiday at Hard Rock Maldives — an experience we’ll never forget! Our stay in Ocean View Room 135 was the perfect start. Our room was cleaned beautifully every day, and our housekeeper was incredibly hardworking, friendly and thoughtful. He even came back in the evening to check if we needed anything and offered an evening clean while we were out — a real credit to the hotel! We had breakfast at Sessions most mornings, also on a few occasions in the evening with a fantastic variety of food and wonderful, attentive staff. We’d especially like to thank Azhar and Alix, who were genuinely kind and couldn’t do enough for us. A special mention also goes to Basitha, the pool lifeguard. He was so friendly, always greeted us by name and made a real impression on our son — he thought he was a very cool guy! 😊 We ate at most of the restaurants across both islands, but Carne Diem Grill was definitely our favourite. Amazing service and incredible food — quite possibly the best steak and overall dining experience we’ve ever had! Huge thanks to Nawood and Viraj for making our evening so special. Fantastic service from start to finish. We also enjoyed some fantastic excursions, including morning fishing, dolphin watching and sunset fishing. The dolphin cruise was magical — we saw so many dolphins, and the crew were brilliant and determined to give us the best experience possible. Our son also loved the Jet Car, where he got to see nurse sharks and stingrays with his dad. The team at the Dive Centre were fantastic too. Hard Rock Maldives has given our family memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special — we can’t wait to come back! ❤️🌴 Read less
