Island Vibes and Overwater Dreams: My Magical Escape to Hard Rock Maldives

Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is just a short 15-minute speedboat ride from the Maldives airport, which makes getting there super easy. Once I arrived, I simply looked for the Hard Rock counter at the airport, and they took care of everything—including getting me onto the boat that brought me straight to the island. The island has two hotels—Hard Rock and SAii Lagoon—and the best part is that I could eat at restaurants from both places. I got around the island using a buggy or a bike, which added to the fun, laid-back vibe. On the first night, I had dinner at the famous Hard Rock Café and it didn’t disappoint. The next night, I tried Thai food at one of the restaurants, and that was just as delicious. I stayed in an overwater villa, which was an incredible experience. I had my own deck with direct access to the sea, and life vests were already in the room, so I could jump right in whenever I wanted. Everything about the trip felt magical—from the easy arrival to the beautiful views, great food, and the peaceful vibe of being surrounded by the ocean. It’s a place I’d happily go back to. #travel #maldives #馬爾代夫旅行
