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.

Best in class experience at the Hard Rock hotel, Maldives. Right from the airport pickup till drop back at the airport, all the 4 days spent here were nothing less then mesmerizing. The resort is a 10/10 in hospitality, comfort and top class service. Special thanks to Sato who picked us from Marina and Rishi from sessions restaurant who made our breakfast easy and comfortable as an Indian vegetarian family. Kudos to entire Hard rock band members who took care of each and every need as a family. Would love to come back again to this property or go to another city but stick to the same chain of hospitality. Read less
