$2999—Maldives: 5-nt, 5-star half-board stay, save up to 70%
Maldives, minus the noise—private pool villa, daily dining and USD 200 to supplement the extras
Why We Love This Deal
The Maldives is often sold on spectacle. This stay feels more restful. The 5-star Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi sits in the remote Huvadhoo Atoll, where the setting is more secluded and the pace feels slower. This is the Maldives as many imagine it: turquoise water, generous space and direct lagoon access from your villa. Two can stay five nights from $2999 per room, with daily breakfast and dinner included. Better still, bookings are fully refundable up to 14 days before arrival, adding flexibility to a bucket-list trip.
Maldives stays can look appealing at first, then quickly add up once meals and extras come into play. Here, daily breakfast and dinner are already included, along with resort credit and added perks. Starting from just $2999 per room, we found savings of up to 70% versus self-packaging. That is a value of up to $6921 per room.

About the resort
Set within the remote Huvadhoo Atoll, The Residence Maldives delivers a quieter, more refined island escape. The resort is low-density, with a limited number of villas spread along palm-fringed beaches or overwater jetties, creating a strong sense of space and privacy throughout.
Choose how you want to experience it:
- Beach Villas offer your own private pool by the sand—space, shade and the sea just steps away.
- Water Villas place you above the ocean with uninterrupted views and a private pool made for long, quiet afternoons.
- Water Pool Villas add more space, more privacy and front-row ocean views—this is the Maldives, upgraded.
Facilities are designed around slow, immersive experiences. Dining centres on Falhumaa, a signature overwater restaurant, alongside relaxed beachfront options. One of the Maldives’ largest spas sits over the lagoon, with treatment pavilions suspended above the water.
A house reef allows for easy snorkelling, while water sports, diving and island excursions offer as much—or as little—activity as you like.
