Blue Haven Resort - All-Inclusive

Highlights

  • 1 pool
  • 4 places to eat
  • Full-service spa
  • Gated, 24-hour security

Why choose it

  • Boutique scale with only 45 rooms and suites.
  • Official all-inclusive access to both Blue Haven and Alexandra amenities.
  • Strong fit for quiet couples, families and boat-based activities.

Keep in mind

  • Private beach is small compared with Grace Bay.
  • Food and beverage feedback is not uniformly luxury-level.
  • Travelers wanting a busy resort atmosphere may find it too quiet.

Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas

Highlights

  • 1 pool
  • 3 places to eat
  • Full-service spa
  • Overwater bungalows
  • 60 min from MLE

Why choose it

  • Strong guest ratings across TripAdvisor, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Booking.com.
  • 24-hour all-inclusive model is straightforward and value-oriented for the Maldives.
  • Modern rooms, including overwater suite categories.
  • Guests repeatedly praise food, cleanliness, and friendly staff.
  • Access to neighboring RIU Atoll adds activity and dining flexibility.

Keep in mind

  • The modern built environment may feel less natural or boutique than older-style Maldives islands.
  • Transfer logistics and inclusions need careful verification.
  • Some activities are located on or shared with the RIU Atoll side.
  • Not ideal for travelers seeking an ultra-secluded, high-design luxury resort.
