ISLAND GUIDE
Maldives resorts with a private pool in the base villa
At many resorts only higher villa categories have a private pool. At these resorts even the entry villa has one, ordered by four-night reference price.
Reference prices updated November 2026, for comparison only; the resort quote is final.
How to choose
- Pool sizes vary a lot; compare villa areas and photos on each resort page.
- Beach pool villas and overwater pool villas at the same resort can differ widely in price.
- On a budget, compare totals for all-inclusive and bed-and-breakfast plans.
