Autograph Collection Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy, has opened The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives, marking the brand’s debut in the destination. Inspired by the myth of Alcyone—evoking peaceful “halcyon days”—and the travels of explorer H.C.P. Bell, the resort spans two private islands in the remote Gaafu Alifu Atoll.
The resort features 38 expansive private villas—among the largest in the region—ranging up to 1,250 square meters. The design emphasizes natural tranquility with a focus on uninterrupted ocean views and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Guests receive dedicated, intuitive service from a personal Halcyon Butler, who orchestrates customized itineraries, from curated wellbeing schedules to Marine Butler-led excursions like private diving and traditional fishing.

Dining is a journey of flavour and setting:
