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.

During my stay at the resort, discovering the BJJ dojo was a genuine highlight. Miguel is an outstanding coach — knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about the art. He taught my two boys some excellent techniques in the kids only class...all while keeping the training fun, safe, and confidence-building. They absolutely loved it. Miguel also runs a more advanced class for experienced practitioners, and it’s clear he’s operating at a very high level. Anyone serious about martial arts will appreciate the quality of instruction he offers. The resort itself was fantastic, but Miguel and his classes genuinely made our stay even better. If you’re heading here and have any interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — whether you’re just starting or you’ve been training for years — don’t miss the chance to train with him. Highly recommended.

Stayed 8 days here, came with my family. We had sun everyday, ocean with 5 different colors, we swam with sharks and every type of fish. The restaurants were divine, food was excellent and also very diverse. We were very well received by Sato and he helped us with everything as well as made dinner reservations for us every night. Prasanna cleaned our rooms very well, he also decorated our beds with beautiful art and sweet messages. Kristine seated us every breakfast and dinner and gave us tables with great views. Overall amazing hotel and staff, thank you 🙏 Read less
