Before you book

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.
