Why choose a private pool resort in the Maldives?

A Maldives vacation is already a dream come true, but a villa with your own pool raises the bar. It provides you with total privacy; you can swim, rest, or sunbathe without anyone else nearby. It suits both families and couples. Couples can have a peaceful, romantic time and kids can play and explore safely.
A private pool will give an element of luxury as well, be it with a floating breakfast, a candlelit dinner by the pool, or just spending the afternoon lounging by the water. All this is accompanied by stunning views of the ocean and witnessing the sunrise or sunset from the pool. In all this could be a holiday you will always cherish.
Key factors to consider before booking

The following are things to consider before you select your Maldives resort with a private pool in order to have the experience you have been dreaming of:
- Villa size & layout: A plunge pool is less complex and is perfect for taking a few dips, whereas an infinity pool is larger and sometimes has great views of the ocean.
- Sunset vs sunrise views: Sunset views are colourful and romantic and sunrise views are serene and suited to early risers.
- Overwater vs beach villas: Overwater villas offer you the wow factor because they are built on stilts and located right inside the lagoon, whereas beach villas are more family friendly and spacious.
- Privacy level: Determine whether your pool is really private or not, or whether people from other villas can see it. This is very important for couples.
- Child-friendly design: Some pools are deep and meant for adults, while others are kid friendly.
- Transfer choices: Some islands require a seaplane flight, and there are islands that can be accessed via speedboat. Seaplanes are picturesque but costly.
- Hidden costs: Keep in mind that there may be extra costs in the form of taxes, service fees, or transfer fees.
