4 cities with hotel pool day passes

The Maldives turns the pool day pass into a full private-island experience, not just a swim. Access almost always bundles a speedboat transfer, a beach and a meal. We track 17 resorts across four areas selling day passes to non-guests.

Malé has the most choice we've found, with 6 resorts, from Cinnamon Dhonveli at $120 up to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru's $250-plus private-island day. Maafushi follows with 5 resorts priced from $100 to $180 with lunch and drinks included. Hulhumale is the cheapest base, with Hulhule Island Hotel and SAii Beach Club both starting around $75, and the only pass that skips the boat since it sits minutes from Velana Airport.
