Raffles Meradhoo Maldives is beyond your expectations both Above & Below sea level ! Definitely more than 5 Star !
Truely the best resort experiences in Maldives , we have stayed in other resorts here and they are not comparable.
We spent 5 nights at Raffles Maldives in June and felt like royals everyday there , all the staff at the resort were extremely friendly , attentive and professional in their role.
Beach Villa and Overwater Villa were kept and maintained in mint conditions , rooms were very clean and tidy throughout , Raffles provided all accessories we needed for a perfect vacation stay here , from face masks ,sun hats, hand sanitiser gift pack to snorkelling equipments for our kids , they all loved the Raffles turtle toy so much !
We were greeted by our butler Adi at the airport upon arrival then well looked after each day with 24/7 hospitality until the departure flight, Adi was super caring and professional in his role.
The resort manger Jeffery was simply world class in every perspective , thank you Jeffery for the pre-dinner drink at the Long Bar , our family spent a great night there !
The Faru Kids Program lady Pannisa was outstanding , our girls spent memorable time making origami , painting ,crafting etc in the workshop and couldn’t wait to go back the next day.
Finally the credit goes to the F&B team , every single meal we had while starting in this resort were world class and beyond expectations from the food presentation to the taste in your mouth , each truely outstanding ,
as Foodies we can tell the food here at Raffles are being created with true passion and love , not just merely food on the table , so thanks to the F&B manger Shan for his great work.
But who would have thought the highlight above all was actually the Bakery Basket, yes the bread , before each individual meal we were served with amazing varieties of bread , croissants ,butter and dips , these are specially made differently everyday, every time . guess what ? All the bread were served freshly warm and hot from the oven. I bet there is not many other places you would have taste dinner bread like this around the world , so a big big thumbs up to the Pastry Chef Suranga for his excellent work of art in Pastry making ,your Bakery Baskets were truely Magnificent , it has become an unforgettable memory for all of us at the Raffles Meradhoo .
And that’s only above the water and sea level !
Below the sea level , it was constantly pristine water with 20-30m visibility , I was greeted with a local resident sea turtle within 15 mins snorkelling out from our Villa , apparently there were 26 resident sea turtles and I managed to see 5 of them during my free diving adventures around both islands , I could go on and on about all the beautiful sea life and corals around this resort island that I have discovered such as reef fishes and sharks , clown fish, blue travelly, lionfish, grouper, sea cucumber , moray eels, giant clams, honeycomb oysters, hermit crabs , crayfish , conch shells etc etc. I felt like I would have met half of the “Fishes of the Maldives” in my 5 days stay , just free diving in the Raffles Meradhoo islands .

My family enjoyed this resort very much even though we visited at the very peak of the Covid delta wave.
The two bedroom villa we stayed in was well appointed, spacious and well maintained. The service from our butler to every person we interacted with was above reproach.
The dining was varied and there was live music every night. The hotel arranged a private beach dinner to celebrate my son’s 13 th birthday and it was magical.
The beach was one of the most natural and beautiful. Highly recommended, I would return again.

This was our second visit to Raffles Maldives. The first one was back in 2019, as soon as the resort opened. It was amazing back then, but things have changed - for the better!
Our experience was fantastic from start to finish. The domestic flight from Malé was smooth, the hotel team organized everything perfectly. We didn’t have to do anything: it was all taken care, and all we had to was to follow the programme. We arrived on the island at lunch time - perfect timing!
We were greeted by Jeffry, the Resort Manager, upon our arrival. Happy, friendly and welcoming, made our stay feel special from the get go. People can either make a trip feel ordinary or special. In this case, the entire Raffles Maldives team made our trip unforgettable.
Our butler Nasiba, super nice and efficient, gave us a brief island tour and took us to our Beach Residence. Such a beautiful room (two rooms actually), with a spacious private pool area including outside dining table and much more. We had direct access to the paradise beach, a few steps away from our pool. It was truly special. Every detail was well thought, there was nothing we felt missing! Oh yes, and the bed! The bed is incredible, more than 3m x 3m, gigantic and so comfortable. A good nights sleep is guaranteed!
We had spectacular activities: glass bottom kayak, spa treatments, sunset dolphin cruise, the sunken dinner where they carve out a sand table on the beach at night for your special dinner, cinema under the stars at the beach, and the famous Maldivian floating breakfast in our private pool. So many good memories, they’re guarded deep inside my heart forever.
I could go on talking about all the amazing food and creative drinks - by the way, you must try the Maldivian Sling cocktail - and the unbelievable blue crystal water and white sand, the perfect weather and all that… however, the people are the main thing in this place, and you’ll feel that they make all of this infinitely better.
Jeffry again… Varun, Raja and Gulzar of the marketing and sales team… Adi our waiter who became a true friend… Nasiba our butler who took amazing good care of us until the farewells… yeah, in the end, it’s about the people, and Raffles Maldives has the best of them on that island!
We came as guests. Stayed and became good friends. Now we’re planning our return already, as family. Priceless.

Raffles Maldives foi realmente excepcional. Levamos vários dias para nos reconectar com a realidade depois de passar 6 dias nessa bolha paradisíaca fora do tempo. Desde a ambientação do local, a arquitetura e design dos bangalôs e bares/restaurantes até a comida e gentileza dos funcionários, tudo superou as expectativas. Agradecimento especial a Aleaf nosso mordomo pessoal que fez isso impecável. Esperamos ter a oportunidade de voltar ❤️Lionel e Julien (março de 2022)

Depois de passar por uma pequena lista de resorts nas Maldivas, Raffles foi o selecionado. De fato, foi a escolha certa. Houve uma recepção calorosa no cais de chegada pela equipe do hotel, seguida de um pequeno passeio pela ilha e suas belas instalações. A villa de praia era fantástica, com seu chuveiro ao ar livre, uma cabana e piscina privativas, levando às praias de areia branca da ilha. De lá, você pode mergulhar e ver uma grande variedade de vida marinha, incluindo tartarugas e tubarões (pequenos, é claro). As águas são cristalinas e, em diferentes momentos do dia, haverá diferentes tons de azul. Também ficamos na villa da água, que era igualmente bonita. Este foi situado a apenas um minuto de lancha de distância. As águas são um pouco mais ásperas para mergulhar lá. No entanto, você tem uma visão diferente das águas, igualmente alucinante. A comida nos restaurantes eram de alta qualidade em variedade, sabor e ingredientes. Os cocos frios, carimbados com seu próprio logotipo da Raffles, eram obrigatórios pelo menos uma vez por dia. Por último, mas não menos importante, o serviço prestado por toda a equipe foi excelente. Todos foram educados, simpáticos e profissionais. Sentimos a positividade em seu serviço e a atitude de ir além para nos fazer sentir em casa. Eles foram muito atentos aos nossos desejos pessoais, garantindo que todas as nossas necessidades e solicitações fossem atendidas. Acredito que a palavra Não não esteja no vocabulário deles. Tudo é possível. O chef cozinhava algo para nós que não estava no menu. Se meu telefone ficasse sem bateria, eles traziam um banco de energia para carregá-lo no restaurante. São esses pequenos gestos pessoais que falam muito sobre seu serviço. A única coisa a melhorar seria reduzir as longas horas de espera no terminal doméstico, aguardando o traslado para a ilha. Dito isto, ao chegar à ilha, toda essa negatividade se desfaz. Um grito especial vai para Jeffry Tan, Nasru, Imran, Shane, Adi (garçom que fala russo), Thilan (que sempre aparecem na hora do monitor) e o resto da equipe por fazer nossa viagem única na vida às Maldivas definitivamente não o último!

Después de revisar una breve lista de resorts en Maldivas, Raffles fue el seleccionado. De hecho, fue la elección correcta. Hubo una cálida bienvenida en el muelle de llegada por parte del personal del hotel, seguido de un breve recorrido por la isla y sus hermosas instalaciones. La villa de la playa era fantástica, con su ducha al aire libre, una cabaña privada y una piscina, que conducía a las playas de arena blanca de la isla. Desde allí, puedes hacer esnórquel y ver una gran variedad de vida marina, incluidas tortugas y tiburones (pequeños, por supuesto). Las aguas son cristalinas y, en diferentes momentos del día, habrá diferentes tonos de azul. También nos alojamos en la villa de agua, que era igualmente hermosa. Esto estaba situado a sólo un minuto de distancia en lancha rápida. Sin embargo, las aguas son un poco más ásperas para bucear allí. Sin embargo, obtienes una vista diferente de las aguas, igualmente alucinante. La comida en los restaurantes era de alta calidad en variedad, sabor e ingredientes. Los cocos fríos, estampados con su propio logo de Raffles, eran imprescindibles al menos una vez al día. Por último, pero no menos importante, el servicio brindado por todo el equipo fue excelente. Todo el mundo fue educado, amable y profesional. Sentimos la positividad en su servicio y la actitud de ir más allá para hacernos sentir como en casa. Estuvieron muy atentos a nuestros deseos personales, asegurándose de que se cumplieran todas nuestras necesidades y solicitudes. Creo que la palabra No no está en su vocabulario. Todo es posible. El chef nos cocinaba algo que no estaba en el menú. Si mi teléfono se quedaba sin batería, traían un banco de energía para cargarlo en el restaurante. Son estos pequeños gestos personales los que dicen mucho sobre su servicio. Lo único mejorable sería reducir las largas horas de espera en la terminal doméstica esperando el traslado a la isla. Dicho esto, al llegar a la isla, toda esa negatividad se desvanece. Un saludo especial para Jeffry Tan, Nasru, Imran, Shane, Adi (camarero de habla rusa), Thilan (quien siempre aparece a la hora perfecta) y el resto del equipo por hacer que nuestro viaje único en la vida a Maldivas definitivamente no sea ¡el último!

Raffles Maldives was truly outstanding. It took us several days to reconnect with reality after spending 6 days in this paradise bubble out of time. From the setting of the place, the architecture and design of bungalows and bars/restaurants to the food and kindness of the staff, everything was beyond expectations. Special thank to Aleaf our personnal butler who made this flawless. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to come back ❤️

After going through a short list of resorts in Maldives, Raffles was the selected one. Indeed it was the right choice.
There was a warm welcome at the arrival jetty by the hotel staff, followed by a short tour of the island and its beautiful facilities.
The beach villa was fantastic, with its outdoor shower, a private cabana and pool, leading to the white sandy beaches of the island.
From there, you can snorkel and see a wide range of marine life, including turtles and sharks (small ones of course).
The waters are crystal clear, and at different times of the day, there will be different shades of blue.
We also stayed at the water villa, which was equally beautiful. This was situated only a minute of speed boat away. The waters are a bit rougher to snorkel there though. Nevertheless, you get a different view of the waters, equally mind blowing.
The food in the restaurants were high quality in variety, taste and ingredients. The cold coconuts, stamped with their very own Raffles logo, was a must at least once a day.
Last but not least, the service provided by the entire team was outstanding. Everyone was polite, friendly and professional.
We felt the positivity in their service and the attitude to go above and beyond to make us feel at home. They were very attentive to our personal wishes, ensuring all of our needs and requests were met.
I believe the word No is not in their vocabulary. Anything is possible.
The chef would cook something for us that was not on the menu.
If my phone ran out of battery, they would bring a power bank to have it charged in the restaurant. It is these small personal gestures that speak volumes about their service.
The only thing that can be improved on would be reducing the long hours of waiting at the domestic terminal, awaiting transfer to the island. Having said that, upon arrival on the island, all that negativity melts away.
A special shout out goes to Jeffry Tan, Nasru, Imran, Shane, Adi (Russian speaking waiter), Thilan(who always appear at the prefect time) and the rest of the team for making our once in a lifetime trip to Maldives definitely not the last one!

Pasamos 7 días en Raffles Maldives y fue absolutamente maravilloso. El equipo de Raffles brindó un servicio excepcional de nuestro mayordomo personal, el personal del restaurante, el sommelier, los maestros de buceo, la masajista y el biólogo marino en el lugar, sin dejar ninguna necesidad o deseo sin cumplir. La comida era excelente, y nuestra villa sobre el agua (lado del atardecer) nos ofreció privacidad y todas las comodidades que podíamos imaginar. El viaje desde la isla principal hasta las villas sobre el agua fue de aproximadamente 2 minutos en bote. Los arrecifes, tanto la isla principal como la villa, eran sitios excelentes para hacer esnórquel, lo cual hacíamos al menos una vez al día. Aunque fue un viaje largo desde el centro de los EE. UU. (alrededor de 40 horas de puerta a puerta), valió la pena cada minuto. Con 38 villas en total, Raffles ofreció un lujo, una soledad y un servicio asombrosos. Si prefiere un lugar tranquilo para pasar sus vacaciones, esta es una excelente opción.

Passamos 7 dias no Raffles Maldives e foi absolutamente maravilhoso. A equipe do Raffles forneceu um excelente serviço de nosso mordomo pessoal, funcionários do restaurante, sommelier, mestres de mergulho, massagista e biólogo marinho no local, sem necessidades ou desejos não atendidos. A comida era excelente, e nossa villa sobre a água (lado do pôr-do-sol) nos ofereceu privacidade e todos os confortos que poderíamos imaginar. A viagem da ilha principal para as vilas sobre a água foi de cerca de 2 minutos de barco. Os recifes, tanto a ilha principal quanto a vila, eram excelentes locais para mergulho com snorkel, o que fazíamos pelo menos uma vez por dia. Apesar de uma longa viagem do centro dos EUA (cerca de 40 horas de porta em porta), valeu a pena cada minuto. Com 38 villas ao todo, o Raffles oferecia luxo, solidão e serviço incríveis. Se prefere um local sossegado para férias, esta é uma excelente escolha.

Fomos lavados pelo Raffles Maldives Meradhoo por 4 noites. Este lugar transporta você para o céu. A equipe nos fez sentir em casa e nos mimou o tempo todo. Tivemos uma incrível aula de culinária com Amritesh Kumar, que serviu um delicioso curry das Maldivas e uma incrível experiência de mergulho com Julia do centro de conservação marinha. Um dos melhores hotéis que já ficamos, e mal posso esperar para voltar!

We spent 7 days at Raffles Maldives and it was absolutely wonderful.The Raffles team provided outstanding service from our personal butler, restaurant staff, sommelier, dive masters, masseuse and onsite marine biologist, no needs or wishes were left unmet. The food was excellent, and our overwater villa (sunset side) offered us privacy and all of the comforts we could imagine.The trip from the main island to the overwater villas was about 2 minutes by boat.The reefs, both the main island and the villa, were excellent sites for snorkeling, which we did at least once each day.Though a long trip from the central US (about 40 hours door-to-door), it was worth every minute.With 38 villas in all, Raffles offered amazing luxury, solitude, and service.If you prefer a quiet place to holiday, this is an outstanding choice.

Você pode relaxar na sua piscina privada sem ver os vizinhosCada villa veio com um mordomo.O nosso mordomo Saanih foi incrível.Tão prestável e profissional.Ele cuidou muito bem de nós. Impossível não era nada para ele. Sempre que precisávamos de algo ele estava pronto para ajudar. Nossa villa sobre a água era muito espaçosa e luxuosa.Os tratamentos de spa são obrigatórios. Eu definitivamente recomendo reservar uma massagem. As salas de tratamento têm um painel de vidro para que você veja os peixes nadando enquanto recebe o tratamento.Fizemos mergulho e jet ski que foi muito divertido.A comida merece estrela Michelin! É delicioso e a qualidade é excelente. Café-da-manhã na praia era tão agradável e relaxante. Maneira perfeita de começar o dia.Todas as coisas que trabalham no resort são tão amigáveis e profissionais. Você se sente tão bem lá. Não queríamos voltar para casa. Não tenho palavras suficientes para descrever o quão maravilhoso é o tempo que passamos e gostaria de enviar meus melhores cumprimentos a cada membro das coisas que conhecemos durante a nossa estadia.

Exceptional hotel and was certainly the best decision to choose this hotel, the resort is little far from the capital so count in an extra hour internal flight but guess what it's worth every minute of it and if it was longer I would still take it, as the snorkelingis at another level having the resort located so far away from the main island in the south so you can imagine that the reefs are almost intact.The Resort is ideal for couples or group of friends travelling together, as it's made of two different island one with Water Villas and other on the main island that are just as good depending on your choice as for the service its intact and nothing to say but EXCELLENT and BIG THANK YOU to everyone that works there honestly from the time you arrive till you depart every touch point is personalized, so thank you guys for everything you did for us in making our stay a memorable especially during these exceptional condition and I wish you all the best and will certainly be back.Thank you again for everything and to all the staff members without exception & keep it up. You deserve a 10 star rating :)
