A Year to Remember: Ayada Maldives Wraps Up an Exceptional 2025
As 2025 ended, we look back with gratitude, pride, and excitement at a year that truly elevated the Ayada Maldives experience. From award-winning recognition to new innovations and refined luxury touches, this year reaffirmed why Ayada Maldives continues to hold a special place in the hearts of travellers from around the world.
#1 on TripAdvisor, For the 10th Year in a Row
In 2025, Ayada Maldives proudly retained its position as the #1 resort in the Maldives on TripAdvisor, marking an incredible ten consecutive years as guests’ top choice. This milestone reflects the consistent excellence of our service, the dedication of our team, and the trust our guests place in us year after year. There is no greater honour than recognition driven by genuine guest experiences, and this achievement continues to inspire us.
Culinary Excellence Recognised on the Asian Stage
Our culinary journey reached new heights in 2025 as Ayada Maldives received prestigious culinary awards at Hotel Asia. This recognition celebrates the exceptional skill, creativity, and professionalism of our chefs, who infuse passion and expertise into every dish across our diverse dining venues.
Complementing this success, new menus were introduced throughout the year, offering refined flavours, innovative presentations, and thoughtfully curated dining experiences. From international favourites to elevated regional cuisine, our culinary team continued to delight guests with dishes that reflect both global inspiration and local authenticity.
Celebrated by The Telegraph and Condé Nast Traveller
Ayada Maldives was honoured to be featured by The Telegraph as one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives, a bold confirmation of the value, variety, and quality our all-inclusive offerings provide. Guests continue to appreciate the freedom to indulge fully — from dining and activities to wellness and entertainment — without compromise.
Adding to this acclaim, Condé Nast Traveller included Ayada Maldives among the best hotels for a romantic getaway. With complete villa privacy, expansive island spaces, and bespoke couples’ experiences, this recognition comes as a natural reflection of what we offer. From intimate spa rituals and private beach dining to unforgettable sunsets, romance remains at the heart of the Ayada experience.
Elevated Comfort: New Speedboat and Royal Suite Enhancements
In 2025, guest comfort took another step forward with the introduction of a brand-new luxury speedboat, ensuring smooth, stylish transfers from the nearest domestic airport. Designed for utmost comfort, the journey to Ayada Maldives now begins with an experience worthy of the destination itself.
Meanwhile, our flagship Ayada Royal Suite underwent several thoughtful upgrades, elevating it to new levels of sophistication and indulgence. These enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to refining luxury and exceeding the expectations of our most discerning guests.
As we close the chapter on 2025, we extend heartfelt thanks to our guests, partners, and dedicated team members who made this year so extraordinary. With innovation, recognition, and unforgettable moments behind us, we look ahead to 2026 with excitement — ready to continue crafting exceptional island experiences at Ayada Maldives.
Looking Ahead to 2026: A Renewed Focus on Wellness, Health & Well-Being
As Ayada Maldives moves into 2026, the focus turns toward a more holistic vision of luxury — one that places wellness, health, and well-being at the heart of the guest experience. Building on the natural serenity of the island, the coming year will introduce thoughtfully enhanced offerings designed to nurture both body and mind while remaining deeply connected to nature.
Wellness at Ayada Maldives will evolve beyond traditional spa experiences to embrace a more comprehensive, lifestyle-oriented approach. Guests can look forward to expanded wellness programmes, including restorative spa journeys, mindful movement, and personalised health-focused experiences that encourage relaxation, balance, and rejuvenation. These initiatives are designed to integrate seamlessly into island life, allowing guests to reconnect with themselves at their own pace.
Culinary wellness will play an increasingly important role, with an even stronger emphasis on locally sourced and responsibly selected ingredients. Our culinary team will continue refining menus that support well-being without compromising on flavour or creativity. By drawing inspiration from the Maldives’ natural resources and global wellness trends, dining experiences will become more nourishing, intentional, and meaningful.
In 2026, Ayada Maldives also aims to craft deeper, more immersive guest experiences, where wellness extends beyond the spa and into everyday moments — from tranquil sunrise rituals and private wellness experiences to thoughtfully curated activities that promote calm, connection, and presence.
