When you think about the Maldives, Hard Rock is likely not the first hotel name that roles off your tongue. However, Hard Rock, part of the Crossroads Marina complex, is bringing a new type of vacation to the Maldives and we loved it. While they position themselves as not the honeymooners destination or a luxury property, we would argue that it’s the perfect getaway for couples, friends and families looking for fun, adventure-filled vacation, particularly for American customers used to paying high prices for aging hotels with subpar service in destinations like Mexico, Hawaii and the Caribbean. With a longer journey to get there, what you’ll find is a stunning beachfront vacation for a comparable price point.
Stay tuned to hear some considerations to keep in mind when booking, the suite tour and more!

Hard Rock is located just 20-minutes by fast speed ferry from Malé‘s main international airport, Velana. This means that you won’t need to spend half a day traveling once you get to the Maldives. Its proximity to Malé has been slammed by many travel writers for being “too close” with “dirty water” etc, but we were actually astounded by the crystal blue water of the lagoon surrounding the property. From half of the property, you can see the skyline of Malé in the distance, which may be bothersome to some looking to get away from the city views, but it did provide a nice backdrop in the evenings from our pool villa.
The property does not offer an arrivals lounge or area for guests to wait, but it was a very quick 10 minutes while we awaited another family arriving at the airport. Shortly, we were taken to the ferry and sped off to the Crossroads complex. In general, this process was SO easy. Some hotels, particularly if you need to take a domestic flight, take half a day or longer. Being able to hop on a quick ferry was remarkably easy.
Upon arriving, even at the check in desk at the airport, we knew this was a different style of hotel. The employees are happy, casual and seem genuinely interested in having a great time with the guests. Management allows employees to take part in activities and the facilities of the hotel on the off time, which while that comes with its own interesting challenges, is actually quite amazing. Have you ever been to a hotel karaoke night and NO ONE gets up to sing? That doesn’t happen at the Hard Rock. Every activity is full of people, whether it’s karaoke or dancing, there are people having a great time. The best part? The employees start it and it makes people feel so much more comfortable getting up and joining it. It makes the atmosphere at the Hard Rock exactly what you want it to be: vibrant, engaging and really, really fun.
