For half a century, the famous Hard Rock Hotels has been spreading the timeless spirit of music and hospitality around the world. In whichever country the next hotel of the brand opens, it embodies the best features of the region’s culture, exquisitely interwoven with special energy and enthusiasm that makes it more than a place to stay. The outstanding Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is no exception, offering sophisticated guests a breathtaking combination of unparalleled paradisiacal scenery and out-of-this-world culture and memorabilia. This family-friendly resort has been recognized by tourists, and this year it was named a winner of the Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the category of Best Luxury Beachfront Resorts in Maldives.

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives was opened on September 1, 2019, as part of CROSSROADS Maldives, the country’s first multi-island, fully integrated leisure destination, and its largest lifestyle hub. The resort is also the 30th hotel in the renowned brand’s portfolio and its first hotel in the Maldives, bringing all the iconic features of Hard Rock International to the archipelago.

The resort is located on the Emboodhoo Lagoon in South Male Atoll, a 15-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport. The island on which the resort is located is connected by a 500-foot bridge to the neighboring island on which is Saii Lagoon Maldives, also part of CROSSROADS Maldives.

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives‘ architecture combines local cultural traditions in a regional style with elements of contemporary design. Guests have a choice of 178 guest rooms, including 114 suites. Luxury accommodations such as family suites, beach villas, one- and two-bedroom overwater villas ranging in size from 46 to 445 square meters are available at the resort. All rooms are delicately filled with the spirit of music: paintings with images of musical instruments on the walls, pictures of guitars on bed linen, unobtrusive soundtrack of timeless hits in the hotel will please music lovers and at the same time will not bother other guests. A special perk for guitar lovers will be the option to reserve a Fender with headphones right in your room and have your own jam session without disturbing anyone around you.
