The Constance Hotels and Resorts in the Maldives are an ideal destination for the whole family, newlyweds, honeymooners and even expectant mothers as a way for rediscovering yourself and reconnecting with nature and marine life.
Constance has two properties within the cluster of islands and we were lucky enough to discover both. Constance Halaveli Maldives island resort stands out for its luxurious style and its unique villas that ensure all guests enjoy their privacy. While Constance Moofushi is a social oasis on a green island that cares about the environment and sustainable resources.
When you choose to visit Constance Hotels and Resorts in the Maldives, we advise you to go to the Constance Lounge near the capital city airport, Male where the seaplane is ready to take you to your destination, or can reach it it by speedboat if you prefer.
As soon as you step foot on the islands, you’ll be warmly greeted by the staff as they smile and wave at you, taking you to the reception to give you your villa keys. You will get to sample the luxurious location as they will take you on a mini-tour in a buggy around the resort to explore the bars and restaurants which cater to many different needs and tastes.
At both resorts, everything is picture perfect, so you’ll find yourself stopping at every moment to take pictures. Some of the best spots include the Instagram-friendly decor such as swings made from cane, and old boat painted blue, and seats that are overlooking the beautiful blue sea and white sands. For some of the best social media snaps, you’ll have to swim to the seats immersed in the water to take the most memorable photos.
