Maldives

The Maldives collection at AOBA is a curated edit of resortwear built for overwater villas, sunset walks and beach clubs: 33 styles spanning sarongs, monokinis, beach sets and co-ord sets, all designed and fit-tested for Indian bodies. If you're planning a Maldives trip and searching for a maldivian sarong or swimwear that won't need re-buying the week you land, this is where AOBA puts its resort-specific pieces together in one place.

A sarong is the one item nearly every Maldives packing list gets wrong: either too sheer to double as a cover-up, or too structured to knot into five different looks. The sarongs in this edit are cut generously (roughly 1.5m by 1.1m on most styles) from lightweight, quick-drying fabric that wraps as a skirt, a halter dress, a shoulder throw or a simple cover-up over a monokini, and packs flat enough to not eat your suitcase space. The monokinis lean toward one-piece silhouettes with waist cutouts, ruching and buckle details that suit both the pool bar and the overwater deck, while the beach co-ord sets pair swim tops with matching shorts or skirts for days when you want to walk straight from your villa to lunch without changing twice.

Everything in the Maldives edit is sized S through XL and built from fabric that handles salt water, chlorine and daily wear without pilling or fading fast: a genuine consideration for a destination where you might be in and out of the water three times a day. AOBA, the brand behind this collection and a Shark Tank India alumnus, designs its swim and resort pieces specifically around Indian proportions, which shows up in details like adjustable straps, elasticated waistbands and cup options that fit a wider range of bust sizes than most imported swimwear.

Browse by style using the filters (Beach Sets, Co-ord Sets, Monokinis or Sarongs) to shortlist your packing list, and check each product's size chart before ordering since fit varies slightly by silhouette. Free shipping applies on prepaid orders and Cash on Delivery is available across India.
