Excellence in the Maldives: Constance Halaveli and Moofushi Shine in 2026 Traveller Review Awards

In the world of high-end travel, a Five-Star rating is expected, but a near-perfect score from the guests themselves is a rare feat. As we step into 2026, the Maldivian luxury landscape has found its gold standard. Constance Halaveli and Constance Moofushi, two of the most iconic gems in the Constance Hospitality portfolio, have officially emerged as the frontrunners in the prestigious Booking.com Traveller Review Awards.

With scores that border on perfection—9.8 and 9.7 respectively—these resorts aren’t just providing a place to stay; they are crafting experiences that resonate long after the sand has been washed off the suitcases.

The Power of the Guest Voice

The Traveller Review Awards are unique because they aren’t decided by a secret panel of judges or a corporate board. Instead, they are the direct result of thousands of verified guest reviews. In an era where travelers are more discerning and vocal than ever, maintaining a score of 9.8 is a testament to an almost supernatural attention to detail.

Jean-Jacques Vallet, Chief Executive Officer of Constance Hospitality, noted that these awards are a mirror of the passion found on the ground. According to Vallet, the recognition is a direct reflection of the professionalism and unwavering commitment of the teams who call these islands home. In the Maldives, where competition is as vast as the ocean, standing out requires more than just a beautiful beach—it requires soul.

Constance Halaveli: The Pinnacle of Refined Luxury

Earning a staggering 9.8 out of 10, Constance Halaveli has solidified its reputation as a sanctuary for those who seek “True Blue” luxury. Tucked away in the North Ari Atoll, the resort is shaped like a curved Dhoni (a traditional Maldivian boat), creating a sense of movement and grace.

What makes Halaveli stand out in the 2026 awards? It is the harmony between space and service. The resort is home to some of the most spacious overwater and beachfront villas in the region, each designed to offer total privacy. However, the reviews highlight that it’s the “refined dining” and “personalized service” that push the score to near-perfection. Whether it’s a sommelier remembering your favorite vintage or a villa host anticipating your need for a sunset yoga session, Halaveli operates with a level of intuition that guests clearly find unforgettable.

Constance Moofushi: The Soul of Barefoot Chic

Just a short distance away, Constance Moofushi secured a remarkable 9.7. If Halaveli is the refined older sibling, Moofushi is the free-spirited, elegant traveler. Known globally as one of the best “all-inclusive” experiences in the world, Moofushi champions the concept of “barefoot chic.”

The 2026 awards highlight Moofushi’s consistency in delivering a relaxed, high-end island atmosphere. It is a place where shoes are optional but world-class diving and soul-stirring sunsets are mandatory. For travelers who want luxury without the pretension, Moofushi provides a seamless experience where everything—from the premium cocktails to the guided snorkeling excursions—is handled with a smile. It is this “no-stress” environment that has kept their guest satisfaction scores at the top of the charts year after year.

A Portfolio-Wide Triumph

While the Maldivian properties took the spotlight as the highest-rated resorts in the entire Constance group, the 2026 awards cycle was a win for the brand across the Indian Ocean. From Mauritius to the Seychelles, Constance Hospitality has managed to maintain a “people-first” philosophy that transcends borders.

However, the Maldives remains the crown jewel. In a market that sees dozens of new openings every year, the fact that Halaveli and Moofushi continue to dominate the ratings is a signal to the industry: consistency is the ultimate luxury.

What This Means for the Future of Maldives Travel

The 2026 Traveller Review Awards tell us a lot about what modern travelers value. It’s no longer just about the size of the infinity pool or the brand of the espresso machine in the room. Guests are rewarding resorts that listen.

As Jean-Jacques Vallet emphasized, guest feedback is central to their operations. By taking every review to heart, Constance has been able to fine-tune the guest journey, ensuring that the “Constance Moment” is delivered every single time.

For those planning a trip to the Maldives in 2026 and beyond, these scores provide a roadmap. If you are looking for a retreat where the service is as warm as the tropical sun and the quality is verified by thousands of your peers, the choice is clear. Constance Halaveli and Constance Moofushi aren’t just winning awards; they are setting the pace for the future of hospitality.
