Villas
Beach Pool Suite

4 adults + 2 children · Private plunge pool · Beachfront
2-Bedroom Beach Suite
Two bedrooms across 457 sqm on the beach, built for families or two couples sharing. Meyyafushi's own site has no dedicated photography for this category yet, so the image above is representative of the resort's Beach Suite family.

3-Bedroom Beach Suite
The largest beach category at 610 sqm across three bedrooms, sized for extended family or group travel. As with the 2-Bedroom Beach Suite, dedicated photography wasn't yet available, so the image shown is representative.

About Meyyafushi Maldives
Meyyafushi opened on 9 June 2026 on a natural island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 35 minutes by seaplane from Malé. Ninety-five pool villas span eleven categories across beach, semi-ocean and overwater settings, carried by a Premium All-Inclusive plan across seven restaurants and bars, with Bubble's underwater dining room and Sukun's teppanyaki counter available as pre-booked, additional-charge experiences alongside it. Kokko Kids Club and the adults-only Sky Lounge split the island after dark.
Recommended For
Families
Kokko Kids Club runs an indoor playhouse, a pool-and-slide park, a mini sports court and babysitting services, matched by family-sized villas and an island packed with futsal, table tennis, badminton, a skate ramp and a mini-bowling lane.
Active and watersports-minded travellers
An overwater padel court marketed as a world's first, scuba diving for all levels, and the Adopt a Coral restoration programme sit alongside tennis, wall climbing and a full watersports centre.
Couples
Bubble's underwater dining room, floating breakfasts in the villa pool, and the adults-only Sky Lounge with its glass-bottom infinity pool give a stay here a clear after-dark, just-the-two-of-us register.
Wine & Dine
Bubble
Underwater fine dining · Lunch · dinner
A purpose-built underwater room with panoramic windows onto the reef — Meyyafushi's signature dining experience, and worth pre-booking early in a stay.
Thaana
Mediterranean specialty · Lunch · dinner
Mediterranean cooking served on an open terrace, one of the resort's two specialty à la carte rooms.
Alif
Pan-Asian — Thai, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and Maldivian influences · Lunch · dinner
A single menu drawing on Thai, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian and Maldivian cooking, with the dinner sitting on a shorter window than the resort's other à la carte rooms — worth booking ahead.
Experiences
Art Studio & Craft Workshop
A resort's own art studio, gallery or craft workshop where guests create or view local and traditional artwork — pottery, lacquer, glassblowing.
Boduberu Cultural Show
Live Boduberu drumming and dance, paired with the evening or arrival cultural programming resorts run alongside it — culture talks, on-site museums, welcome ceremonies.
Cooking Class & Culinary Workshop
A hands-on cooking class or mixology session led by one of the resort's own chefs.
Coral Adoption & Restoration
Hands-on reef and marine conservation guests can join directly — adopting or planting coral frames, mangrove planting, and turtle-rescue visits with a hatchling release.
Dolphin Cruise
A dhoni or speedboat trip, usually timed to sunset, built around spotting wild dolphins — the most widely offered named excursion in the Maldives.
Group Fitness, Gym & Training Classes
Structured group fitness beyond a yoga mat — HIIT, TRX, Pilates, boxing and circuit training, run out of the resort's own gym or fitness pavilion.

Before you book
How do I get to Meyyafushi, and how long does the transfer take?
By seaplane only — 35 minutes from Velana International Airport with Manta Air. There's a short shuttle bus, around 5 minutes, from the arrivals area to the seaplane terminal before the flight. Meyyafushi's own materials don't describe a domestic-flight-plus-speedboat alternative, so seaplane is the sole transfer route today.
What does the Premium All-Inclusive plan cover?
Unlimited dining across the resort's seven restaurant and bar outlets — Fili, Thaana, Alif, Hatharu Dhan, Baa, Raagu and Sky Lounge & Sunken Seating — with a dine-around structure and a children's menu, plus unlimited beverages during operating hours (premium spirits, wine, Champagne, soft drinks and tea/coffee, one glass at a time for guests 18+). A daily-replenished in-villa mini bar, complimentary massages scaled to your stay length, group yoga and fitness-centre access, 1-4 complimentary excursions depending on how long you stay, one free padel session a day, and Kids Club access are all included. Bubble, Sukun and Raa carry an additional charge on top of the plan.
Is Meyyafushi suited to families, or is it more of a couples' island?
Both — the resort doesn't position itself as either family-only or adults-only. Kokko Kids Club runs an indoor playhouse, a pool-and-slide park, a mini sports court and babysitting services, with family-sized villas (the 2- and 3-Bedroom Beach Suites, 2-Bedroom Semi-Ocean Pool Villa and 2-Bedroom Water Pool Villa with Slide) built to match. For couples and adults travelling without children, Sky Lounge & Sunken Seating runs as an 18+ rooftop bar with its own glass-bottom infinity pool.
What's the reef and snorkelling like at Meyyafushi?
The resort's own materials mention a coral rejuvenation garden among its marine facilities and a guest-facing 'Adopt a Coral' programme (part of the group-wide Project Faru restoration effort), plus general snorkelling excursions — but there's no explicit house-reef description on the official site to confirm reef access or condition directly from the villas. Ask your consultant to confirm current reef access when booking.
Is Raa, the wine cellar, open yet?
Not as of the resort's own site — Raa is listed as 'opening soon,' with pre-booking required and an additional charge once it does. As a brand-new resort (opened 9 June 2026), a few outlets and services are still coming online; confirm Raa's status with your consultant closer to travel.
Which villa categories have a private pool, and which are best for families?
All eleven categories carry a private plunge pool — the difference is setting (beach, semi-ocean or overwater) and size. For families, the 2-Bedroom and 3-Bedroom Beach Suites, the 2-Bedroom Semi-Ocean Pool Villa and the 2-Bedroom Water Pool Villa with Slide are built for multiple bedrooms; three of the overwater categories add a pool slide.
