Milaidhoo Maldives Named Among the World’s Best Hotels

Milaidhoo Maldives is delighted to share that it has been recognised in Tripadvisor’s® Travellers’ Choice® Awards Best of the Best 2026, placing the island among the top 1% of hotels worldwide based on reviews and ratings from travellers.

For Milaidhoo, this recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the people who know the island best, its guests. Their stories, shared experiences and heartfelt reviews have earned Milaidhoo a place among travellers’ favourite destinations around the world.

Tucked away within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Milaidhoo was created for those seeking a more personal and authentic Maldivian experience. With just 50 villas, surrounded by turquoise waters and florishing coral reefs, the island offers a sense of intimacy and freedom that encourages guests to reconnect with nature, with each other and with themselves.

“We are deeply grateful to every guest who has chosen Milaidhoo and taken the time to share their experience,” said Paul van Frank. “To be recognised among Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best is an honour, but what means the most to us are the memories behind each review, the anniversaries celebrated, the friendships formed, the marine encounters discovered and the moments of joy shared on our island. This recognition also belongs to our Milaidhoo Family, whose warmth, care and genuine passion create the heartfelt experiences our guests remember long after they leave. We are proud to share this achievement with every member of our team and every guest who has become part of the Milaidhoo story.”

The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards

The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards celebrate the highest-rated hotels around the world, based on authentic reviews collected over a 12-month period.

As Milaidhoo continues to welcome guests from around the world, this recognition serves as a reminder of what has always mattered most: creating meaningful experiences, sharing the beauty of the Maldives and making every guest feel at home on our island.
