Gaafu Alifu Atoll is one of the world’s largest and deepest atolls and the astoundingly clear, warm waters immediately surrounding the property teem with tons of colourful fish. Moreover, guests will be able to see one of the twenty resident hawksbill and green turtles that regularly swim by their snorkelling visitors.
The Raffles Maldives Meradhoo’s Beach Island Experience is a palm tree-peppered private island comprising just 21 villas and residences, a sublime spa, beachside restaurants and a world-class dive centre with on-site marine biologist. A dream for those beach lovers.
Just a moment away by boat, the Raffles Maldives Meradhoo’s Overwater Island Experience (launched in September 2019) completes the resort with 16 vast overwater villas and residences, a sophisticated Nikkei restaurant Yuzu and sunset-facing Yapa pool bar.
Wherever the guests decide to spend the night, they will reside in some of the largest villas in the Maldives. On both islands, generously proportioned two-bedroom residences provide luxurious retreats for families and friends, while the resort’s staggering Raffles Royal Residence provides the perfect setting for a very special celebration. An immense three-bedroom hideaway in the ultimate Indian Ocean Luxury and features a wonderful infinity pool, endless space and even a retractable roof on its upper level to admire clear night skies full stars.
You can also indulge yourself in any of the five bars and restaurants that the resort offers or enjoy one of the bespoke dining experience like a sunrise breakfast on a private sandbank or an exclusive champagne and sashimi cruise. It’s up to you.
