The only all-inclusive resort in the Baglioni Collection, pairing traditional Maldivian island architecture with Italian design and dining on a private island in Dhaalu Atoll.
Baglioni Maldives sits on Maagau Island in Dhaalu Atoll, a forty-five-minute seaplane crossing from Male, and runs as a luxury all-inclusive resort — the only one in the Baglioni Collection. Ten villa categories move from simple beach rooms to a three-bedroom Grand Villa, six restaurants cover Italian, Japanese and international kitchens, and the house reef sits a swim from the beach rather than a boat ride away.
The resort's most numerous category and its entry point into the Baglioni style — roughly sixty-five square metres inside and a twenty-five-metre terrace, with the beach a few steps beyond the sunbeds. There is no plunge pool here; the sea does that work instead.
4 · No private pool · Beachfront
Overwater on stilts, with a wide viewing deck and steps down toward the lagoon — around sixty square metres inside and forty-five more of open-air terrace, built for guests who want the water without a pool between them and it.
3 · No private pool · Overwater
The same overwater footprint as the Water Villa — about sixty square metres inside, forty-five of terrace — turned toward the west side of the atoll, so the evenings end in colour rather than simply dusk.
3 · No private pool · Overwater, sunset-facing
A run of just nine villas — the only overwater category with its own plunge pool set into the deck. Around sixty square metres inside, with forty-five more of terrace wrapped around the pool.
3 · Private pool · Overwater
Beach Villa proportions — about sixty-five square metres inside, a twenty-five-metre terrace — turned to face the sunset and given a private pool of its own between the villa and the sand.
4 · Private pool · Beachfront, sunset-facing
A step up in scale from the entry beach category — around seventy-seven square metres inside and forty-three of terrace, with a private pool set between the villa and the beach.
4 · Private pool · Beachfront
A genuine suite rather than a single room — around one hundred and fifteen square metres inside, seventy-five of terrace, and a private pool large enough to swim a few strokes in rather than just cool off.
5 · Private pool · Beachfront
Two bedrooms under one thatched roof, around one hundred and thirty-five square metres inside and a private pool on the terrace — built for two families travelling together, or one large one, without anybody sharing a wall with a stranger.
6 · Private pool · Beachfront
The larger of the resort's two-bedroom categories — around one hundred and eighty square metres inside, eighty-two of terrace, and a private pool set generously apart from both bedrooms.
6 · Private pool · Beachfront
The resort's single most exclusive address — three bedrooms, around four hundred square metres inside and another three hundred and seventy of overwater terrace, with its own pool set at the water's edge.
9 · Private pool · Overwater
La Limonaia
Baglioni's fine-dining room, built around Southern Italian cooking and set right on the water — the kind of night that wants the good bottle from the wine cellar next door.
Yama
Japanese cooking with cross-cultural technique, served from an open teppanyaki counter on a deck that runs straight out over the lagoon.
Afternoon & High Tea Service
Afternoon · for two
A scheduled afternoon or high tea, often multi-tiered and led by a resident tea sommelier.
Boduberu Cultural Show
Evening · all ages, for two
Live Boduberu drumming and dance, paired with the evening or arrival cultural programming resorts run alongside it — culture talks, on-site museums, welcome ceremonies.
Floating Breakfast
Morning · for two
Breakfast served on a floating tray in the villa's own pool, with nothing scheduled after it.
Destination Private Dining
Evening · for two
A private meal on the beach, in a villa, a garden or an overwater deck, arranged by a private chef and butler outside the resort's own restaurants.
The factsheet
Every fact we hold on Baglioni Maldives (villas, dining, transfers) in one document.
Six restaurants and a short paid-extras list — Baglioni's all-inclusive plan covers the daily buffet, the bar and most of the programme, with only sandbank-style add-ons like the Floating Breakfast and Private Dinner on the Beach charged separately.
The Baglioni Kids Club runs from three to fifteen with its own nature programme and PADI Bubblemaker sessions, and the Two Bedroom Family Beach Villa with Pool puts two bedrooms and a private pool under one thatched roof.
A house reef that needs no boat, Discover Scuba Diving for first-timers, and a Whale Shark Excursion into Dhaalu Atoll beyond the reef — the water programme runs from beginner to genuinely adventurous.

How do we get to Baglioni Maldives, and how long does it take?
Baglioni sits on Maagau Island in Dhaalu Atoll, reached by a roughly forty-five-minute seaplane flight with Trans Maldivian Airways from Velana International Airport. Between flights, guests have access to the Infinity VIP Lounge at the Noovilu Seaplane Terminal. Inbound flights need to land between 6am and 3:30pm, so IMJ times international connections around that window rather than the other way round.
What are the baggage limits on the seaplane transfer?
The allowance is 25kg checked and 5kg hand baggage per guest, with hand luggage capped at 3kg for the cabin. IMJ checks these limits against each guest's international allowance before travel, since seaplane weight limits run stricter than most long-haul carriers'.
Is the resort genuinely all-inclusive?
Yes — Baglioni markets itself as a luxury all-inclusive resort, the only one in the Baglioni Collection. The daily buffet at Taste, along with the resort's broader dining and drinks programme, sits inside the plan; a handful of experiences such as the Floating Breakfast, Beach Picnic and Private Dinner on the Beach are paid extras that IMJ can add to an itinerary.
How good is the house reef, and is snorkelling included?
House reef snorkelling is complimentary and needs no boat — gear is provided and the reef is reachable straight off the beach. For anything further out, the resort also runs a Whale Shark Excursion into Dhaalu Atoll and Discover Scuba Diving sessions for first-time divers.
What is there for children?
The Baglioni Kids Club takes children from three to fifteen, with sport, arts and crafts, pool and beach games and a nature-focused programme. There is a PADI Bubblemaker session for younger children who want to try diving in water no deeper than two metres, plus a dedicated Junior Spa track at Aura Spa.
Which villas suit a family or two families travelling together?
The Two Bedroom Family Beach Villa with Pool and the larger Two Bedroom Beach Suite with Pool both put two bedrooms under one roof with a private pool on the terrace, and the Grand Baglioni Maldives Villa's three bedrooms work well for a full multi-generational buyout. IMJ matches the specific category to how independent each family wants to be.
