Raffles Maldives Meradhoo opens 16 new overwater villas

We already reported on the opening of the Raffles Maldives Meradhoo in May 2019. Initially, the luxurious hideaway in the secluded Gaafu Alifu Atoll consisted of only 21 beach villas with their own pools. Now with the “Overwater Island Experience” 16 pool villas have been added, which can be reached by boat from the main island in a few minutes.

The Raffles Maldives Meradhoo now has a total of 37 villas and three restaurants – the all-day “Thari” with excellent seafood directly on the beach, the “Yuzu” with a Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine and “The Firepit” with grill specialties. The “Yapa Sunset Bar” offers tapas, fresh sashimi and cocktails directly over the water, while the “Raffles Long Bar” serves the unique “Maldives Sling” as a tribute to Raffles Singapore.

A private chef and various private dining options are also available. For example, guests can take a jet ski to a caviar breakfast on a sandbar or sail into the sunset with a glass of champagne. Like the “Raffles Spa”, the fitness center hovers above the sea, making it the ideal setting for yoga sessions and water sports.

The legendary Raffles service in the Indian Ocean is supplemented by the so-called “marine butlers”. They are happy to take guests on snorkeling tours to the best spots on the two in-house reefs, where hawksbill turtles are also at home. In addition, the Gaafu Atoll with its location on the southern tip of the Maldives is one of the deepest, most untouched and clearest atolls in the world and is therefore a paradise for divers and those who want to become one.
