The Maldives has been voted the top island destination in the world by readers of Travel + Leisure (T+L) in their annual “World’s Best Awards” survey for 2024. This recognition highlights the Maldives’ status as a premier travel destination, known for its natural beauty, accommodations, and marine life.

The survey, which received over 700,000 responses from 186,000 respondents for over 8,700 properties, asked readers to rate islands based on criteria such as natural attractions, activities, restaurants, friendliness of the locals, and overall value. The Maldives emerged as the favourite, with readers noting its beaches, clear waters, and opportunities for snorkelling and diving.

One T+L reader described the Maldives as “Paradise on Earth,” emphasising the visuals and biodiversity that make the islands a dream destination. The Maldives is home to approximately three percent of the world’s coral reefs, offering a spot for marine life and underwater exploration.

This recognition by T+L readers is a testament to the Maldives’ appeal and its commitment to providing a travel experience. As the world continues to seek out escapes, the Maldives stands out as a beacon of natural beauty and luxury.

For those planning their next getaway, the Maldives promises a journey to an island paradise.
