Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort

Terrible butler service. No service actually.

Do not think. Just book it for paradise..

My partner and I just returned from a week-long stay at Raffles Meradhoo, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. This resort truly embodies the beauty and serenity of the Maldives. We booked a water villa, and it was spectacular! The villa was spacious, elegantly decorated by our lovely butler NATTU, and featured a private deck with direct access to the lagoon. Waking up to the sound of waves was a dream come true. The culinary experience was exceptional. We enjoyed meals at various restaurants on the property, each offering a unique atmosphere and diverse menu. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and we even got to fish our own meal one of the nights! There was no shortage of activities. We went snorkeling and were amazed by the vibrant coral reefs and colorful fish. The staff also organized a romantic sunset dinner for us, which was a highlight of our trip. The staff at Raffles went above and beyond to make our stay special. Especially our butler NATTU! He had our entire trip thought out and planned before we even arrived to the resort. He left us personalized messages throughout our stay that were heartwarming and accommodated us throughout the trip. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a serene escape, Raffles Meradhoo is the perfect choice. The combination of stunning scenery, luxurious accommodations, and top-notch service made for an unforgettable vacation. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed in the sunset overwater bungalow Can I say your view is breathtaking especially first thing in the morning and at sunsetThe bungalow was beautifully decorated. The water is the clearest I’ve ever seen so far. The staff was superb. They went above and beyond to make us feel special and at home. I must mention our butler Yasir, who took care of everything for us. We were greeted by name by the hostess and wait staff special thanks to Monku. They even took the time out to remember how I liked my water and my favorite cocktail. Once I arrived they asked can I get you your usual. Special thanks to Kat, our bartender. Overall a A+ wonderful experience

As the final leg of our honeymoon holidays the 5 nights at Raffles was certainly a worthy conclusion. Despite being a step further from the Male it was totally worth the effort compared to hotels in more congested areas. The island and rooms were impeccable matched by the dedication of the staff who struck a great balance of hospitality, privacy and friendliness. Everyone from management to grounds staff conveyed a genuine warmth that is missing in so many other hotels - our Butler Yasir is one of the coolest people around and elevated the experience to another level with his enthusiasm, attention to detail and knowledge. Without exception the staff's pride about the hotel was evident and rightly so as one of the best in the Raffles collection - but the added bonus was the number of local staff too who know so much about their country and heritage. Everyone from Management to Maintenance were genuinely friendly with greetings and made you feel part of the family instantly. Little things like that missing from many other hotels nowadays but make a big difference to the feel good factor. Goes without saying that the facilities are top notch - spa, gym, quality and choice of food, rooms but also the snorkeling access and boat trips. Being further away from the busier areas it was a real treat to see so many dolphins nearby and house reef turtles and sharks and various fish - and that's not even taking a boat to nearby islands with healthy coral systems with the in-house marine biologist and environmental sustainability officer Amadine. Will be back ASAP! Not even going to bother looking for other places to stay!

Wonderful experience! We spent our honeymoon in Raffles Maldives and it was a unforgettable holiday for us. Great service, amazing spa and incredibel food. Staff team was amazing and especially our butler Nasaah was great. I can’t thank you enough🤗🤗 we will miss you for sure!!
