"An idyllic escape set in a wonderland of snow-white sands and lush greenery, Raffles Maldives Meradhoo boasts elegant villas, romantic dining and a dazzling overwater spa."

Gaafu Alifu is one of the world’s largest natural atolls, and calling it paradise would not be an understatement. Far from the hustle and bustle of Malé (50 minutes by plane followed by ten in a speedboat, to be exact) is one of the atoll’s particularly perfect islands. Called Meradhoo, this little wonderland of snow-white sands and lush greenery is home to Raffles Meradhoo Resort, an idyllic escape that brings legendary Raffles luxury to the southernmost reaches of the Maldives.

On land, the resort pays stylistic homage to its roots in colonial-era Singapore. That iconic elegance is reimagined on island time, adding a decidedly designer feel to the barefoot luxury of it all. Sixteen of the resort’s villas are stilted over the turquoise water, with another 21 on land. All are done up in the same beach-chic palette of blues, taupes and ivories, with plenty of natural wood throughout and four-poster beds draped in gauzy white fabric. The overall effect is oh-so-romantic, and that’s...   Show more

The overall effect is oh-so-romantic, and that’s without even setting a foot outside. Beyond the four walls, private pools, expansive verandahs, gardens and decks that lead straight into the lagoon await you, encouraging you to spend as much time as possible luxuriating in the wonderfully warm air.

You’ll be able to enjoy your meals in whichever location you enjoy most, whether that means in a dining room, overwater or with your toes in the sand. Thari is the resort’s laid-back all-day restaurant, where you’ll find an impressively international à la carte breakfast menu (with a good-sized buffet as well), healthy lunches and themed dinner nights as the day goes on. The Firepit invites you to cosy up not only on the sand but in it, with tables and seating carved right into the beach. Enjoy a charcoal-grilled meal here with a glass of wine from the resort’s excellent collection, or head to the romantic Japanese-Peruvian Yuzu for an amazing Nikkei meal in a dining room perched above the lagoon.

The stylish spa is also set overwater, and treatment rooms have full-wall windows with dazzling views of the sea. Back on land, you’ll find a jogging track in the idyllic garden alongside a fitness centre that’s open 24 hours. If you want a little more excitement in your workout, you’re in luck: guests have all manner of watersport equipment at their disposal, guaranteeing endless adventures at sea.

Room types

  • Beach Residence

    • 260 m2 / 2,799 ft2
    • King bed
    • Garden view

    Two separate buildings, with private garden and pool in between, make the Beach Residence ideal for quality family time. Its different zones harmoniously connect to create an abundance of extraordinary room indoors and out.
    The master bedroom is perfection. From the kingsize four-poster bed to the vast bathroom suite incorporating a huge sunken bathtub, walk-in wardrobe, rain shower and opulent vanity unit. The second bedroom sits directly onto the beach. It is the place to feel the first of the sun's morning rays and see the first twinkle of starlight.
    Between the two buildings lie the landscaped outdoor pool and terrace with its own beachfront sala, and the poolside living and dining area with daybed, sofa set, dining table and casual seating. And, of course, the private stretch of pristine beach leading onto the ocean completes the scene in unmistakeable Maldivian style.

  • Overwater Residence

    • 300 m2 / 3,229 ft2
    • King bed
    • Water view

    The Overwater Residences boast two separate bedrooms, a living room, gorgeous bathroom and a private pool over the shimmering turquoise lagoon. They are incredible homes of deep quality, cleverly designed to afford absolute privacy inside and huge relaxation space outside.
    While all the villas in our overwater village have astonishing views, the Overwater Residences sit at the very tip of the lagoon. The views from this position are so vast and uplifting that this is truly an unforgettable place to be. Perhaps the grandest of all is the view from the master bedroom.

  • Overwater Villa

    • 230 m2 / 2,476 ft2
    • King bed
    • Water view

    Nature provides the backdrop for a stay in our Overwater Villa. The sun sparkling on the calm, clear water of the lagoon, a myriad colours below the surface as the fish dart across the ocean floor beneath you and the brightest stars in the night sky. It is the perfect platform on which to appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
    Inside your villa, comfort is yours to curate. Open up the entire area to the soft breeze and sounds of the sea, or enclose the living areas for air-conditioned comfort. Relax in your private pool or deep indoor bathtub or take advantage of the ultimate privilege – stepping down from your terrace into the lucid waters of the lagoon and commune with the marine life.

  • Raffles Royal Residence

    • 170 m2 / 1,830 ft2
    • King bed
    • Beach view

    The Raffles Royal Residence is beyond compare. It offers all the splendour Raffles is known for in this most incredible natural setting.
    Occupying an unblemished stretch of the resort’s blissful Beach Island, the vast three-bedroom villa expandable up to 6 bedrooms is perfect for groups of friends gathering for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, as well as families who want to kick back and take things easy. Stretching comfortably over 1,700 square metres and accommodating up to 15 guests, the Royal Residence’s heart is the three consecutive reception rooms that border its 40-metre pool and look towards the property’s private beach. Whether savouring a fully catered barbecue, enjoying a boisterous pool party or simply admiring unimpeded views of another staggering sunset, everything the property offers can be enjoyed in absolute exclusivity.
    Raffles Maldives Meradhoo’s Marine Butlers can lead guided explorations of the resort’s two spectacular house reefs, while the Royal Residence Butler will be available at any time of day or night to facilitate private boat trips, hearty feet-in-the-sand meals under the shimmer of flickering tiki lights at barbecue restaurant The Firepit, or indulgent treatments at the resort’s overwater spa.
    Of course, with so much space entirely and solely at their disposal, guests might simply while away days without leaving the Royal Residence at all. Spa treatments can also be arranged on site; Raffles Maldives Meradhoo’s team of Children’s Butlers can be enlisted to entertain younger visitors; and a multitude of special events, from surprise birthday parties to decadent anniversary dinners, can be happily facilitated. Up to 24 guests can gather for a show-stopping meal to remember in the villa’s kitchen and dining room. Overlooking the lagoon and with its private bar stocked with rare spirits and the finest cigars, the expansive roof terrace works just as well as an intimate eyrie for evening sundowners as it does for morning yoga sessions sound-tracked by gently lapping waves.

    A stay with friends or family in a Sunset Overwater Residence offers you the perfect balance of social spaces and private quarters. The villa comprises two separate bedrooms, a generous internal communal lounge, a grand bathroom, and a large pool and deck area.
