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 truly enjoyed our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives. The food selection was excellent, with plenty of variety to suit everyone. Our room was always spotless and very well maintained, which made the stay even more comfortable. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff were genuinely welcoming and friendly throughout our visit. It’s a fantastic resort for families, with lots of activities to keep kids entertained, while still offering a calm, peaceful atmosphere if you just want to relax and do nothing. A perfect balance of fun and relaxation — we would happily return. A special mention to Alfar, who assisted us with all our questions throughout our stay. He also helped make our twins birthday extra special. Read less

Our room was kept spotless, and every request we had was fulfilled quickly. Best regards for our host Sato and our room attendant Mohan. ❤️ We loved the bean bags by the Hard Rock pool, great place to relax and enjoy the sun. Underwater speakers in the pool are a really nice touch! 😁 Hint - Install Hard Rock Hotel Maldives app as soon as you arrive and scan your room QR code. It's the best way to keep track of all of the events at the resort. Group of 3 adults and 1 child, stayed in the Diamond overwater pool villa 222. Read less
