Why We Recommend It
Hideaway Beach Resort is one of the largest luxury resorts in the northern Maldives. The dive school is among the most highly regarded on the portfolio and the family infrastructure is comprehensive. IMJ recommends it for active families or dive-focused couples.
Consider Before Booking
Hideaway's scale means it operates more like a mid-size resort than an intimate island. For guests wanting fewer fellow guests, smaller alternatives serve better.
IMJ Insider Note
IMJ pre-books the Hideaway dive school's reef shark dive — the northern atolls have exceptional shark populations and this dive regularly delivers shark sightings where southern atolls can't guarantee them.
