VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Arriving at
Milaidhoo Maldives feels like entering a dream. A scenic 35-minute seaplane
ride from Malé lands you in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere
Reserve, where turquoise waters and a lush private island await. Known for its
intimate atmosphere, this boutique resort is steeped in Maldivian heritage and
designed with a barefoot luxury ethos — no dress codes, just elegant
simplicity.
The 50 villas are masterpieces of
tropical design, each with private infinity pools, thatched roofs and open-plan
layouts that blend indoor and outdoor living. Overwater villas offer direct
lagoon access, while beach villas are surrounded by soft sands and swaying
palms. Each villa gets a butler, who will attend to any of your needs.
Dining is
exceptional, with Ba’theli, a restaurant made from traditional Maldivian boats,
serving elevated island-inspired cuisine. At the spa, retreat to overwater
treatment rooms for holistic therapies inspired by local traditions. Days are
spent snorkeling vibrant reefs, while nights are filled with stargazing from
the open-air observatory.
