Where? Maaya Thila
Not just a highlight of the Maldives in 2025, but always breathtaking: shimmering beaches and glowing sections of the ocean under the moonlight. This phenomenon is caused by bioluminescent corals and marine life that emit their glow at night. Night dives with UV light add an extra dimension to the experience, making you feel as though you’ve landed on another planet. One of the best spots is the Maaya Thila dive site. Alternatively, you can visit the Fesdu Wreck, where the sunken ship is illuminated by glowing marine creatures at night.
Where? Rah Gili Maldives
Visionary Laith Pharaon, who played a key role in the development of the iconic Six Senses brand, has created an innovative new concept set to debut its first resort at the end of 2025. The luxury brand, named SIX & SIX PRIVATE ISLANDS, is defined by intuitive hospitality.
