About Us
Your Maldives Partner.
One Step Ahead.
One Step Holidays (OSH) is a Maldives-based Destination Management Company (DMC) headquartered in Malé, Maldives, specializing in creating, managing and delivering exceptional Maldives experiences for international travel partners and their clients.
Founded with a clear ambition to build a more connected and reliable way of experiencing the Maldives, One Step Holidays has grown from a local inbound travel company into an international B2B travel partner serving travel agencies, tour operators and travel professionals across multiple markets.
Our philosophy is simple:
We believe every great journey begins with the right partner.
And for our partners, that partner is One Step Holidays.
Our History
Our roots in the Maldivian tourism industry go back to 1997, giving our leadership decades of experience across resorts, tourism companies, destination operations and travel management.
Building on this experience, One Step Holidays was established in 2018, with a dedicated focus on inbound tourism and the international travel market. The company subsequently obtained its official tourism business licence and began developing its network of international partners and Maldivian tourism suppliers.
From the beginning, our focus has been on understanding what international travel partners actually need from a Maldivian DMC:
- Competitive rates
- Reliable operations
- Fast communication
- Flexible solutions
- Strong local knowledge
- A team on the ground that takes responsibility
Over the years, we have developed strong relationships with resorts, hotels, local island properties, transfer providers, excursion operators and other tourism suppliers across the Maldives.
Today, we combine that local knowledge and industry experience with modern technology to create a more efficient way for travel professionals to sell the Maldives.
Where We Are Today
Our headquarters and operational team are based in Malé, Maldives, placing us at the heart of the country's tourism industry.
Being based in the Maldives gives us something that cannot be replicated from overseas:
Local knowledge. Local relationships. Local operational control.
Our team coordinates the details of a client's journey from the moment they arrive in the Maldives until their departure.
From airport arrivals and resort transfers to resort stays, local island experiences, excursions, special arrangements and guest support, we work closely with our partners and suppliers to ensure that every journey is handled professionally.
Our international network continues to grow across Europe, Asia and other key source markets, working with travel agencies, tour operators and B2B partners looking for a reliable Maldives specialist.
Serving the Maldives Domestic Market
While our international B2B network remains at the heart of One Step Holidays, we also have a strong focus on the domestic Maldives travel market.
Through our dedicated domestic offers, we work with resorts and tourism partners to bring exclusive and value-focused Maldives holiday offers to people living in the Maldives.
Our domestic offers are designed specifically for:
- Maldivian nationals
- Expatriates holding valid Work Visas / Work Permits
- Expatriates holding valid Dependent Visas
These offers provide access to selected resorts, hotels and island experiences at specially negotiated rates, making it easier for residents of the Maldives to enjoy the destination they call home.
From weekend getaways and family holidays to resort escapes, celebrations and special occasions, our domestic programme gives residents access to carefully selected properties and seasonal promotions.
Our aim is simple:
To make the Maldives not only a destination for international travellers, but also a destination that Maldivians and residents can enjoy more often.
Built for B2B Travel
One Step Holidays is fundamentally a B2B travel company.
We work behind the scenes to help travel professionals sell the Maldives more efficiently.
Our partners can access a wide range of Maldives products, including:
- Resort holidays
- Luxury and premium resorts
- Local island hotels and guesthouses
- Beach and overwater villas
- Family holidays
- Honeymoon and romantic escapes
- Diving, surfing and adventure experiences
- Excursions and activities
- Airport and resort transfers
- Custom-made itineraries
- Multi-property and split-stay experiences
- Special offers and promotional rates
Our goal is not simply to provide rates.
Our goal is to provide our partners with a complete Maldives sales and operational solution.
OSH Voyara
The Next Step in B2B Maldives Travel
The next step in our evolution is OSH Voyara, our dedicated B2B travel platform built for travel advisors, agencies and tour operators.
OSH Voyara is designed to make selling the Maldives faster, simpler and more flexible.
Instead of relying on multiple emails, spreadsheets and separate supplier communications, travel professionals can use one platform to explore products, access market-specific offers, create quotations, check availability, build packages and manage bookings.
The platform is being developed around the way travel professionals actually sell the Maldives.
Partners can create customized holidays combining resorts, local islands, transfers, excursions and experiences, including flexible split-stay itineraries.
A travel advisor can build a journey that combines a few nights on a local island with a luxury resort stay, create a multi-resort itinerary, or tailor a holiday around a client's budget, interests and travel style.
OSH Voyara is not about selling hotel contracts.
It is about giving travel professionals a faster B2B sales solution for the Maldives.
Our International Network
Our international growth has been driven by long-term partnerships and a deep understanding of the markets we serve.
We have developed particularly strong relationships across Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Italy, while continuing to expand our network across other European and international source markets.
Through our partners, the Maldives reaches travellers looking for everything from affordable island escapes to luxury resort experiences, honeymoons, family holidays and tailor-made journeys.
Our role is to connect those travellers with the right Maldives experience while giving our international partners the local expertise and operational support they need.
Our Achievements
Our growth has been built through partnerships, performance and consistent service.
Over the years, One Step Holidays has continued to expand its international partner network and strengthen its position as a Maldives-focused inbound DMC.
Our commitment to destination promotion has also been recognized within the Maldivian tourism industry.
In 2025, One Step Holidays received the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) Silver Award for Best Promotional Campaign, recognizing our efforts in promoting the Maldives through innovative destination marketing.
We were also nominated for the 2026 SATA Awards, including categories related to promotional excellence and inbound travel.
For us, these achievements are not simply awards.
They represent the trust of our partners, the dedication of our team and our belief that the Maldives deserves to be represented with creativity, professionalism and genuine destination knowledge.
More Than a DMC
We see our role as more than simply making reservations.
We are a local extension of our international partners' businesses.
When a travel agency sells the Maldives, its reputation is ultimately connected to the experience its client receives on the ground.
That is why we take the operational side seriously.
From the first quotation to airport arrival, transfers, resort check-in, excursions, special arrangements and departure, our team works to ensure that every part of the journey is handled professionally.
For our partners, this means having a trusted Maldives team they can rely on.
For their clients, it means enjoying the Maldives with confidence.
Our People
At the heart of One Step Holidays is a team with decades of combined experience in Maldivian tourism and destination management.

We believe technology can make travel faster, but people make travel work.
That is why we combine technology with real people on the ground who understand the Maldives, know our suppliers and are ready to support our partners when it matters.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become one of the Maldives' most trusted and technology-driven B2B destination management companies.
We want to connect the world's travel professionals with the Maldives through a combination of:
- Local expertise
- Strong partnerships
- Technology
- Reliable operations
- Exceptional experiences
As the Maldives continues to evolve, so will we.
