Ozen Life Maadhoo sits a 45-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport in South Malé Atoll, with 95 villas across seven categories — 46 beachfront, 49 overwater. The INDULGENCE Plan bundles six specialty restaurants, premium alcoholic beverages and snorkelling into the rate, while M6m — an underwater dining room with a champagne lounge above it — anchors a dining programme built around variety.

Recommended For

Couples on the INDULGENCE Plan

With specialty dining, premium drinks and snorkelling already bundled into the rate, the days run without a bill to think about — LONU's adults-only lunches and M6m's champagne lounge give couples reason to dress up without leaving the island.

Families

The Earth Pool Pavilion's two bedrooms and shared 35 sqm pool, plus the OZEN Kid's Club's natural salt pool and play areas, are built around a family stay rather than adapted for one.

Guests planning a wedding

The resort's wedding package runs from a beach ceremony with Bodu Beru drums through a four-course candlelit dinner to a private floating or champagne breakfast the next morning — a full arc built in, not assembled à la carte.

Before you book

How do guests get to Ozen Life Maadhoo from Malé?

It's a single-leg transfer — a 45-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport, with personalised onboard service. Guests are first escorted to THE OZEN COLLECTION's own airport lounge before boarding, so there's no scramble to find the boat after landing.

What does the INDULGENCE Plan actually include?

The INDULGENCE Plan is Ozen Life Maadhoo's all-inclusive-style rate: gourmet dining across the resort's specialty restaurants, premium alcoholic beverages, and snorkelling and excursions are all bundled in. Depending on the length of stay, either diving sessions or spa treatments are included as well — IMJ confirms exactly what applies to your dates before booking.

Are any of the restaurants adults-only?

Yes — LONU, the lunch-only restaurant reworking Maldivian small plates, is adults-only. Every other specialty restaurant and both bars are open to all ages.

Which villas suit families best?

The Earth Pool Pavilion is the resort's purpose-built family category — a two-bedroom, 285 sqm suite with a master and twin bedroom, each with its own bathroom, and a shared 35 sqm pool. The OZEN Kid's Club adds a large, shallow natural salt pool and its own indoor and outdoor play areas.

Do any of the restaurants close on certain nights?

TRADITION INDOCEYLON, TRADITION PEKING, LONU and M6m all close on Fridays, so it's worth mapping specialty-dining nights around that rather than assuming every restaurant runs every night of the week.

What's the house reef and snorkelling like?

The resort runs guided information sessions on the surrounding coral reef through its Marine/Coral Project, and Dolphin Base — the PADI-certified dive school and watersports centre — covers snorkelling in the lagoon as part of the INDULGENCE Plan. IMJ can confirm current reef conditions and the best entry points ahead of your stay.
