As one of the most generous all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives (hello, 80-bottle wine wall), it’s no surprise Pullman Maldives Maamutaa is one of the best-loved Luxury Escapes of all time.

The stunning Maamutaa Island is 18 hectares of pure paradise. At its heart is a natural lake fringed with tropical foliage, all surrounded by pristine white beaches and azure lagoon. It’s also home to one of the most sought-after all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives – Pullman Maldives Maamutaa.

So what makes this resort stand out from the rest? We’re talking unlimited dining, an 80-bottle wine wall and complimentary minibar refills daily: and that’s just the start.

Read on to discover what to expect from a stay here.

Expect villa luxury with next-level views

From the leafy gardens of the Beach Villas to infinity pools suspended over the lagoon in the overwater villas, every accommodation option here offers vistas to soothe the soul – but perhaps the most showstopping views of all go to the Aqua Villas.

Pullman Maldives Maamutaa is the first ever luxury Maldives resort to offer these two underwater bedrooms. Each split-level villa features a submerged bedroom with a full-size glass wall, so you can wake to see marine life and schools of tropical fish darting amid the coral (think scuba diving, without the tank). As if that’s not enough, the second bedroom is suspended over the water with endless views over the Indian Ocean – so magic is guaranteed, whether you take the deep dive or keep your head above water.

Expect generous all-inclusive benefits

Choose the all-inclusive package and you can expect to be spoiled round-the-clock, with unlimited dining, free-flow drinks (including premium pours and a mega 80-bottle wine wall to choose from) and a complimentary minibar, replenished twice daily. This is easily one of the Maldives’ most generous all-inclusive offerings: select extended stays also include excursions and activities, like guided snorkelling, sunset cruises and massages at The Pullman Spa.

Street food, gourmet vegetarian, Italian and tapas is all on the menu across three restaurants, so there’s no chance of getting bored. Highlights are Phat Chameleon, the Maldives’ first organic, vegan restaurant set in an organic veggie garden, and Saffron Affair, where you can enjoy tapas and drinks beneath the stars while lounging on an overwater net. 

Expect adventures of a lifetime

The resort invites guests to lean into paradise with PADI-certified scuba diving, guided snorkelling, dolphin cruises and even mermaid classes all on offer (one to write home about). There’s plenty to experience, from the relaxing to the active: simulated golf, tennis, Zumba, aqua aerobics and yoga, including aerial and floating yoga, are on hand for those who like their island escape a little more energetic. A guided nature walk or marine biologist tour is the perfect way to acquaint yourself with the island’s natural beauty.
