The Resort — Five-star luxury that is unmistakably Raffles
When it comes to remote island sophistication, it doesn’t get better than Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, located within the picturesque Gaafu Alifu Atoll. The first Raffles property in the region, this extraordinary resort spans two distinct islands connected by private boat shuttle, a rare concept that sets it apart from virtually every other resort in the Maldives. It’s an elegant, tropical reimagining of Raffles Singapore, delivering the legendary refinement and impeccable service that defines the brand.
Offering two distinctly sophisticated experiences across its dual-island setting, this ultra-stylish resort brings fresh glamour and new elegance to the archipelago. The main island, peppered with palm trees, shelters 21 beach villas and residences, while the exclusive overwater “Pearl” features another 16 villas jutting out of the crystal-clear lagoon on purpose-built platforms. All accommodations boast private pools, sun-drenched decks, oversized living spaces and thoughtfully crafted interiors, with legendary Raffles service ensuring every detail is perfected.
Wellness and nourishment are key at the resort, with delicious yet unpretentious cuisine offered across five restaurants and bars — including the all-day Thari, exotic Yapa Sunset Bar and toes-in-the-sand barbecue restaurant, The Firepit. The Raffles Spa combines Balinese and Swedish techniques with Maldivian influence and glass-bottom floors, so you can see the extraordinary marine life below while being pampered.
Snorkelling tours with a personal guide are a must, as are sunset yoga and scuba diving through the pristine reefs and protected coral formations. The resort prides itself on its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint by upholding a zero single-use plastic policy and resource-efficient systems while also promoting eco-friendly practices and supporting the local community and marine life.
Experience refinement like never before: unlimited dining across five food and drink venues, with daily breakfast, lunch and dinner. You’ll never go hungry with such diverse options on offer:

- Yuzu (dinner): Immerse yourself in the exquisite flavours of Japan at Yuzu. This restaurant offers a refined dining experience with authentic Japanese-fusion cuisine, including sushi, sashimi and expertly crafted dishes like tempura and teriyaki.

- The Firepit (dinner twice a week): Step into a realm of smoky aromas and grilled perfection at The Firepit.
