Amongst its most well-known properties, Dusit Thani Maldives, that translates to a ‘town in heaven’ is truly a lush haven nestled comfortably in Baa Atoll’s Mudhdhoo Island. Accessible in 35 minutes via a panoramic seaplane flight, or 20 minutes via a domestic flight plus a mere 10 minutes on a speedboat from Dharavandhoo Airport, Dusit Thani Maldives invites you to bask in the serenity of the Maldives even before you reach the island. 

Bestowed with a 360-degree strikingly diverse house reef, infringed with indigenous tropical vegetation spread over 16 hectares, the island is unanimously unspoilt. Be it for veterans of the sea, luxury dwellers or families alike, Dusit Thani Maldives has a little bit of everything to offer for the traveller seeking gracious luxury. The island’s 94 villas are tastefully decorated with hints of warm Thai heritage, blended beautifully with Maldivian culture, truly an offering of paradise for its inhabitants. 

The Beach Villas, with or without a plunge pool, leads out to your own sheltered spot of the beach, whilst from the Ocean Villas, you can explore the marine plethora leisurely or even take a dip in the plunge pool. The versatile room categories offer absolute privacy in a tranquil environment, where one can take relaxation to a heavenly state of being. 

The culinary experience at Dusit Thani Maldives is unmatched; proven by the numerous times its Thai restaurant Benjarong has been recognised worldwide for the authentically delightful Thai cuisine. Sealed with the Thai Select accolade, which is a recognition of its authenticity, amongst many other worldwide awards, Benjarong excels in its take of Thai cuisine.
