Maldives Luxury Holidays: where luxury travel finds its most beautiful form

The Maldives are no ordinary destination – they are a promise. A promise of endless turquoise, of white sand beneath your feet and of a silence you only hear when the sea is your sole neighbour. Spread across 26 atolls and more than 1,200 coral islands in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives offer a concentration of luxury, privacy and natural beauty that is unrivalled anywhere in the world. For discerning travellers from Switzerland, the Maldives are the first address for exclusive island paradises. A Maldives luxury holiday is perfect as a romantic honeymoon for two, as a family holiday in a resort with your own pool, or as a retreat for business-class travellers seeking absolute exclusivity.

As your personal Maldives travel consultant in Basel, we put together your Maldives holiday individually: no package deals, no mass processing. We know the differences between the atolls, which islands have the best house reefs and which resort is perfectly suited to your wishes. From choosing your overwater villa and arranging your speedboat or seaplane transfer to private diving experiences and spa rituals by the sea, every detail is tailored personally to you. Rely on more than 30 years of experience, IATA-certified flight bookings and the security of the Swiss Travel Industry Guarantee Fund.

Malediven Luxusreise | Overwater Villas & 5-Sterne-Resorts

Overwater villa with private infinity pool

Wake up above the ocean in your private overwater villa, with direct access to the lagoon, a glass floor panel looking down onto the underwater world and your own infinity pool that merges seamlessly with the turquoise. The overwater villas of the Maldives redefine luxury: butler service, Nespresso machine, open-air rain shower and a sun deck that belongs to you alone.

Diving & snorkelling in another world

The Maldives rank among the best diving destinations in the world. Encounter manta rays, whale sharks, turtles and colourful coral reefs on guided dives or right on your resort's house reef. Many of our partner resorts have a PADI-certified dive centre and organise exclusive night dives and snorkelling safaris to remote reefs.

Private sandbank dinner at sunset

Imagine an empty sandbank in the middle of the ocean, a table laid in white, your private chef and a sunset that bathes the sky in gold and pink. Our Maldives resorts arrange this experience exclusively for you, including champagne, a seafood menu and torchlight beneath the stars.

Spa & wellness above the sea

Unwind in the award-winning overwater spas of the Maldives. From Ayurvedic treatments and thalasso therapies to sunrise yoga on the jetty, wellness in the Maldives becomes a spiritual experience. Many spas have glass-floored treatment rooms where you can watch tropical fish beneath you during your massage.

Dolphin safari & sunset cruise (NEW)

Watch hundreds of spinner dolphins leaping through the waves in the evening sun alongside your dhoni (a traditional Maldivian sailing boat). We organise private sunset cruises including drinks and canapés: a magical moment that no Maldives luxury holiday should be without.

Practical travel tips for your Maldives luxury holiday

The cuisine of the Maldives' luxury resorts is among the most exciting in the world: a fusion of Asian, Middle Eastern and international influences, refined with the freshest seafood from the Indian Ocean.

Getting there from Switzerland

Direct flights with Edelweiss from Zurich (seasonal, approx. 10 hours) or connecting flights via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways) or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines). As an IATA agency, we book your business or first class flights directly, including lounge access and priority check-in. As a Maldives travel agency in Basel, we take care of all your flight planning as part of our luxury holidays from Switzerland.

Transfer to the island

Depending on the resort's location, the transfer is by speedboat (20–90 min), seaplane (30–60 min) or domestic flight plus speedboat. We advise you on which type of transfer best suits your trip and, if desired, arrange a VIP welcome at Velana Airport with a private lounge.

Entry & visa

Swiss citizens receive a free 30-day visa on arrival. You will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. Alcohol may not be brought into the country; every resort has its own licence and a fully stocked bar.

Health & safety

No special vaccinations are required. Medical care in the luxury resorts is good, and many have their own doctor on the island. We recommend travel insurance with repatriation cover, which we will gladly arrange for you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How much does a luxury holiday in the Maldives from Switzerland cost?

A tailor-made Maldives luxury holiday with a 5-star resort and business-class flights starts from approx. CHF 6,500 per person for 7 nights in an overwater villa. The price varies according to the season, your choice of resort and the meal plan. We will prepare a no-obligation offer tailored precisely to your wishes and budget.

Which is the best luxury resort in the Maldives?

That depends on your priorities. For a honeymoon, we recommend The Nautilus or Conrad Rangali. For families, Soneva Fushi or One&Only Reethi Rah. For ultimate privacy, Velaa Private Island. Your personal Maldives travel expert in Basel will advise you individually.

Overwater villa or beach villa: which is better?

Overwater villas offer direct lagoon access, glass floors and maximum privacy, making them ideal for couples. Beach villas have larger gardens, often a private stretch of beach and more space, making them ideal for families with children. Many of our clients combine both: first an overwater villa, then a beach villa.

How long is the flight from Switzerland to the Maldives?

The direct flight from Zurich with Edelweiss takes approx. 10 hours (seasonal). Via Dubai (Emirates) or Doha (Qatar Airways), the journey takes approx. 12–14 hours including a change. As an IATA agency, we book the best possible connection in business or first class, with lounge access and comfortable connection times.

Which Maldives island is best for a honeymoon?

For exclusive Maldives islands for couples, we recommend Baa Atoll (Soneva Fushi, The Nautilus) or Noonu Atoll (Velaa Private Island). All offer maximum privacy, romantic dining experiences and overwater villas with private pools. We arrange honeymoon extras such as floral decorations, champagne on arrival and couples' spa rituals.

Are the Maldives suitable for families with children?

Yes, very much so. Many luxury resorts offer excellent kids' clubs, family villas with separate children's rooms and child-friendly activities such as marine biology courses, turtle programmes and water sports. Particularly recommended: Soneva Fushi (The Den kids' club), One&Only Reethi Rah (KidsOnly) and NIYAMA (Explorers Kids Club).

When is the best time to travel to the Maldives?

The best time to travel is from November to April (dry season). The water temperature is 27–29°C all year round. May to October brings occasional rain but is often better value and offers spectacular manta ray sightings in Baa Atoll (June–November). We will gladly advise you on the ideal time to travel for your priorities.

Can I combine several islands on one trip?

Absolutely, and that is exactly what we recommend. Our “Island Hopping Deluxe” packages combine two different resorts in different atolls. This lets you experience the diversity of the Maldives: first barefoot luxury in Baa Atoll, then overwater glamour in Ari Atoll. We organise all seaplane transfers seamlessly.

As a Maldives travel agency in Basel, does Pink Travel also offer combined trips?

Of course. The Maldives combine wonderfully with Dubai (3–4-night stopover), Sri Lanka (cultural tour plus beach days) or Singapore. As your private travel designer, we plan the entire combined trip from a single source, including all flights, transfers and hotels.
