An island nation aiming high, with confidence in its allure
The Maldives continues to shine as one of the world’s leading island destinations, welcoming 1.6 million visitors by the end of September 2025. This marks a 9.6% rise compared to last year and keeps the nation on track for its ambitious goal of 2.3 million arrivals by year’s end.
To reach this milestone, daily arrivals will need to climb in the final quarter, yet optimism remains strong. The Maldives’ appeal is rooted in its turquoise waters, rich culture, and world-class stays, from eco-retreats to luxury escapes like OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO.
Major source markets, including China, Russia, the UK, and Germany, continue to show steady growth, while evolving travel preferences shape future trends. With its exceptional hospitality and a wide range of Maldives all inclusive resorts, the island paradise is poised to attract more travellers and move closer to its 2025 tourism target.
