Why virtual tours matter in the Maldives
Maldives bookings are made almost entirely before the guest reaches the island, often at high average transaction values. The difference between a beach villa, overwater villa, pool villa or residence is spatial as much as visual, making immersive exploration especially relevant.
For Maldives resorts, the 3D tour should sit inside a broader visual and booking journey. Matterport can be combined with drone context, room-category information, interactive storytelling and supported booking connections. We scope travel, island transfers and capture logistics before the project is confirmed.

Matterport resort virtual tours
Capture villas, suites, restaurants, spas and shared facilities.
Room-category experiences
Help guests understand differences between beach, water and residence products.
Drone & island context
Show the relationship between villas, beaches, reef, jetties and resort facilities.
Xperio3D interactive experiences
Add room information, calls to action and supported booking connections.
HospitalityOS connections
Connect spatial experiences with supported hospitality workflows where configured.
Photography & video
Build the wider visual asset library alongside the 3D experience.
Built around how Maldives businesses sell real spaces
For a Maldives resort proposal, connect accommodation layouts with dining, wellness and island context. A discovery-platform listing and an on-site spatial capture are separate deliverables with different production needs.
Local proof, not generic location copy
The Maldives is a service-coverage market for 360INT. Maldives Directory is part of the wider 360INT ecosystem, but it is not presented as proof of a completed Matterport capture project.
What a virtual tour in the Maldives costs
Matterport 3D tours for hotels and resorts in the Maldives are priced per room category. Public areas, restaurants, spas, meeting rooms, villas and other spaces are quoted by size, as are photography, video, drone and Xperio3D layers. The quotation confirms the final amount. Travel, accommodation and transfers to the Maldives are quoted separately, so the full cost is clear before anything is booked.
Request a quotationFrom first call to a published tour
- 01Scope & quotation
For your property in the Maldives, we agree the spaces, room categories, capture date and add-ons, then send a fixed quotation.
- 02On-site capture
In the Maldives, our team captures each space with Matterport cameras, scheduled around guests and daily operations.
- 03Processing & review
The 3D model is processed, labelled and checked with you before release.
- 04Publishing
After the capture in the Maldives, you receive a share link and website embed code. Where agreed, we publish to Google Street View and add Xperio3D interactive layers.
Google Street View publishing in the Maldives
For properties in the Maldives, 360INT publishes supported panoramas from your Matterport capture to Google Street View as a Google Street View Trusted photographer. Guests then see the inside of the property directly in its Google Maps and Search listing. We agree with you which spaces are published, and the full 3D tour stays on your website and booking pages.
3D interior capture in the Maldives
Interiors in the Maldives are captured with the Matterport Pro3, a LiDAR camera that also works outdoors in direct sunlight. Its depth data is what makes the dollhouse view, floor plans and measurements possible.
- Accuracy ±20 mm at 10 m
- Under 20 seconds per scan
- 100,000 LiDAR points per second
- 134 MP panoramas
- Depth range 20 m in hosted models, up to 100 m in E57 exports

3D drone capture in the Maldives
For the outside of a property in the Maldives, 360INT captures 3D data by drone with the DJI Matrice 4E, an enterprise drone with a mechanical-shutter mapping camera. From the flight images we build textured 3D models, orthophoto maps and point clouds. Architects, developers and planners can use them to document buildings, sites and construction progress. Hotels, resorts and villas can use the 3D model to show the property and its surroundings from a perspective guests never see from the ground. Flight permissions are checked for each site during scoping.
- 4/3-inch 20 MP wide camera with mechanical shutter
- Up to 2 km² per flight at 5 cm ground sampling distance
- RTK positioning: 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal, 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical
- Mapping without ground control points (wide camera)
- Up to 49 minutes flight time

Award-recognised immersive technology for island-resort booking journeys
Maldives resorts already use virtual experiences to help guests explore before travel. 360INT's opportunity is to go beyond standalone panoramas by connecting spatial capture with room information, booking journeys, drone context and hospitality software where supported.
