Resort Intro
Raffles Maldives Meradhoo is located in the southern part of the Maldives, approximately 400 kilometers from Velana International Airport in Male. Guests reach the resort via a 55-minute domestic flight to Kaadedhdhoo Domestic Airport, followed by a 15-minute speedboat transfer. Originally known as Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, this resort was one of the first in the Maldives to receive the prestigious Seven-Star rating. On August 31, 2017, operational management transitioned from Jumeirah Group to Accor Group. Room sizes range from a minimum of 206㎡ to a maximum of 1,400㎡, with every room featuring a private pool and dedicated butler service. The resort’s architectural layout separates the water villas from the main island, requiring boat transportation between them. Some water villas include private dining areas, enhancing the sense of isolation and immersion within the ocean setting.
Island Advantages ① Offers comprehensive spa and wellness services, including body treatments, facial care, and beauty therapies ② All rooms come equipped with private pools and personal butlers; water villas feature net beds and spacious king-sized beds measuring 3 meters by 2 meters ③ Surrounded by coral reefs, the island provides excellent conditions for snorkeling ④ Maintains the high operational standards previously set by Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, now serving as Accor Group’s flagship resort in the Maldives
Island Disadvantages Located far from Male, which helps preserve ecological integrity but limits accessibility; The island is relatively small, requiring boat transfers between the water villas and main island—presenting a trade-off in terms of convenience; Limited space for children’s recreational areas
