About Pullman Maldives Maamutaa

Pullman Maldives Maamutaa sits on its own 18-hectare island in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, reached by a 55-minute flight from Malé and a short speedboat ride. The resort runs what the brand calls one of the most generous all-inclusive programmes in the Maldives, across 122 villas, seven dining venues, an overwater Phytomer spa, and a PADI Eco Center dive base built into a broader fitness-and-wellness identity.

Recommended For

Divers and watersports guests

The 5-star PADI Suvadiva Dive Centre is one of only four PADI Eco Centers in the Maldives, with courses running from beginner through Divemaster and a full Water Sports Centre alongside it.

Families with a range of ages

A Kids' Club Playground covers younger children while a teens-only Skillz Sports Centre runs its own golf simulator and snooker table, alongside family-sized villas built for two bedrooms rather than one.

Couples chasing the underwater bedroom

The Aqua Villa's submerged master bedroom is one of only two the brand operates in the Maldives — reason enough on its own for some couples to choose this island.
