NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort

Set in Addu City, at the southern end of the Maldives, NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort is a 5-star property with 120 rooms and rates starting from $298. Its position in Addu, one of the country's more remote atolls, tends to appeal to travellers wanting something quieter than the busier central atolls, while still offering a full resort programme.

On site, guests have access to a spa with sauna and massage treatments, a swimming pool, fitness center and tennis court, plus multiple restaurants. The activity list leans toward the active end, with diving, water sports, surfing lessons and fishing all available, alongside organised tours and airport transfer. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout.

With a 9/10 guest rating from 171 reviews, Havodda has built a solid reputation among visitors so far. It suits couples and small groups looking for a 5-star base in Addu City with sport and water-based activities built into the stay.
