Medhufushi Island Resort

Escape to a serene Maldivian island surrounded by turquoise lagoons and powder-white beaches.

Medhufushi Island Resort is a serene tropical retreat located on its own idyllic island in Meemu Atoll, Maldives. Surrounded by a spectacular turquoise lagoon and fringed with powder-white beaches, the resort provides a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life, perfect for those seeking relaxation, romance, and the natural beauty of a classic Maldivian setting.

The resort offers a variety of accommodation options to suit different tastes, with around 112 villas and suites spread across beachfront and over-water locations. Guests can choose from Beach Villas nestled among lush vegetation, spacious Water Villas with direct lagoon access, or ultra-private Lagoon Suites accessible only by boat. All accommodation is designed with elegant Maldivian charm and comes with modern comforts such as private sundecks, outdoor rain showers, and scenic ocean views.

Dining at Medhufushi Island Resort combines relaxed island ambience with global flavours. The Malaafaiy Restaurant serves buffet-style breakfasts, lunches and dinners with live cooking stations, while the Alfresco Restaurant, set within a distinctive over-water pavilion, offers à la carte dining and stunning lagoon views, especially at sunset. Guests can also enjoy refreshments and snacks at the Vilu Bar, which features premium spirits and a laid-back social atmosphere.

For relaxation and wellbeing, the resort’s spa pavilion stands elegantly over the water, offering rejuvenating treatments and therapies that take advantage of the gentle lagoon setting. A range of water-sports and activities is available, including snorkelling, canoeing, windsurfing and excursions to explore nearby reefs and uninhabited islands. A dive centre on site provides further opportunities to experience the rich marine life of the Maldives.

Medhufushi Island Resort is accessible by a scenic 40-minute seaplane transfer from Malé, or by a longer speedboat journey for those who prefer island-level views en route. Its secluded location, classic tropical charm and wealth of experiences make it an appealing choice for couples, honeymooners and travellers seeking an authentic Maldivian escape.

The Werner Lau dive centre in Medhufushi is run by Ingrid and Laurent who have been working in the Maldives for many years. Their knowledge and experience will give you the opportunity to enjoy some of the best diving in this part of the world. Both of them as well as their crew of international diving instructors are known for their very friendly service.

This new and spaciously built diving centre has been designed by professionals to meet the specific needs of divers and is located directly on the beach on the east side of the atoll. The centre is generously equipped to the highest and most modern standards allowing you to rent all your equipment once you arrive in the centre.

Werner Lau centres offer Nitrox diving free of charge for qualified divers. Night diving by boat will be offered once or twice a week and is an experience which you should not miss. Two to three times a week day tours will be available which take you to the spectacular channel sites to the west of the atoll. The dhonies visit 2 or 3 different diving areas so you can choose the reef which is most suitable for your personal interest and diving skills.

The Maldivian Government has implemented a 17% TGS (Tourism Goods and Services Tax) and will be charged to all clients for all services provided at the resort, which will also include additional diving services. Pre-booked diving rates may include this charge.
