Our take
I would book OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort for a classic private-island stay in South Ari Atoll centred on the reef. Thatch-roofed villas give it a traditional Maldivian feel, the house reef is excellent for snorkelling, and diving, a spa and an all-inclusive option complete the picture. Arrival is by seaplane. The 9.6 rating comes from 68 reviews, so I would check the latest ones before booking.
