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.

Our first Hard Rock Hotel stay and our first visit to the Maldives! Big fans already of the Hard Rock brand - my husband has collected their Cafe t-shirts for the past 30+ years. We were totally blown away by the stunning beauty of this place. It is so special. We are foodies who love music and didn’t want a small resort with a piano bar that closed at 10pm. This place rocked! Deviate are fantastic and kept us entertained all holiday - talented musicians who were friendly, welcoming and played our requests (thanks so much Bien, Carla, Danny, Rizaldo & Ozzy). Accommodation is superb - clean, comfortable, luxurious and vistas of dreams. We were blessed with fabulous weather. We loved the variety of restaurants which were all top notch and the staff everywhere were smiley, chatty and so helpful. We loved biking and strolling around the 3 islands and getting buggies home. We are already planning a return trip - this was a magical holiday that ticked all our boxes and was a delight from start to finish. Special shout out to the adorable Razaan who looked after us so well each breakfast at Sessions and to Prabbath who looked after us when in our Diamond Villa (we spent our first 5 nights in a Silver Beach Studio then upgraded for the last 5 - both were glorious).

We stayed here for two nights before heading to a local island. We are two families with kids ranging from 11 to 19. We all had a ball utilising the kayaks, sups and snorkels each day and loved using the bikes to get around the resort. We had the buffet breakfast included in our rate which was delicious and plentiful. Accommodation of the Family suite with pool was spacious and clean, we loved having the pool to cool off in the evening. Only downside was all other meals were very expensive for what we got being in US dollars plus all the taxes (we are aussies) but we were aware of this prior to coming. Overall we had a great time.

Nice stay at Hard Rock Maldives 😊 Miss Joey welcomed us very well. She explained everything clearly and in detail, which made us feel comfortable from the start. The hotel facilities are new and clean. The vibe is fun and lively.
