At the southern end of the Maldives, in the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean, lies a rare oasis: Raffles Maldives Meradhoo. This uniquely idyllic resort brings the legendary service of Raffles, host to the well-travelled since 1887, to Gaafu Alifu, one of the world’s largest and most remote natural atolls. The result is a resort like no other.

Across the two islands, thirty-eight magnificent beachfront and overwater villas and residences offer an abundance of space.

Luxurious therapies in the overwater spa relax and rejuvenate, while in the three restaurants and two bars, the freshest local and international dishes are served against a backdrop of stunning natural scenery. And of course, the inimitable Raffles butler service will elevate your stay into an unforgettable experience. From the moment you step on shore, you will know you have arrived somewhere truly special.

A place to dive or snorkel and explore the colourful house reefs and fascinating marine life beneath the clear waters. To wonder at the corals and white sands, sharks and tropical fish. A place simply to unwind and allow yourself to reconnect. A place so beautiful and pure, you can rediscover your own rhythm. Two remote islands. Unique Raffles service. An experience like no other.
