About Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa
Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa sits on one of North Malé Atoll's largest natural islands, a 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. Six villa categories run from Deluxe Guest Rooms facing the island interior or the beach to a Two-Bedroom Overwater Villa With Pool, alongside seven restaurants, an on-site dive centre facing more than 40 dive sites, a Sheraton Adventure Club for children, and Shine Spa for Sheraton on its own connected island.
Recommended For
Families
The Sheraton Adventure Club runs supervised activities for children, and the 205 sqm Two-Bedroom Overwater Villa With Pool gives a family, or two couples travelling together, separate bedrooms around one shared pool.
Divers and snorkellers
An on-site dive centre puts more than 40 dive sites within reach, and the house reef itself is enough of a draw that the resort runs its own coral-planting programme with a resident Marine Biologist.
Active couples and groups
Between jet skiing, sailing, waterskiing, parasailing and a complimentary tennis court, this suits guests who want the days filled — a sandbank picnic or sunset dolphin cruise breaks up the more active stretches.
Wine & Dine
Feast
International buffet · Breakfast · dinner
The all-day buffet, with live cooking stations at breakfast and an international spread that changes again by dinner.
Sea Salt
Seafood, fine dining · Dinner
Seafood by candlelight on the beach, built around an elevated seafood platter as the signature order.
Masala Hut
Indian · À la carte
Tandoori dishes and aromatic curries under a thatched pavilion roof, served in a relaxed, shared family-style setting.
Experiences
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.
House-Reef & Guided Snorkel
A guided swim over the house reef, off the beach or a short boat ride out, with private, night and beginner variants at resorts that run their own dive centre.
Kayak, SUP & Sailing
Kayak, stand-up paddleboard, sailing dinghy, windsurfing and kitesurfing — the wind- and paddle-powered end of the watersports centre, bundled as one booking.
Kids' Club Programme
The resort's own kids' club — supervised, age-segmented crafts, sports, water play and themed activities, running under dozens of different in-house names.
Resident Marine-Biologist Programme
A resident marine biologist running talks, consultations and guided excursions — informational and guided rather than hands-on conservation work.

Before you book
How do we get to Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, and how long does the transfer take?
A scenic speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport takes about 15 minutes. A shared speedboat operates for each arrival and departure on the resort's own schedule, and a private transfer option is also available for guests who want a fixed departure time.
Is the house reef good for snorkelling?
House-reef access is one of the resort's headline features, and it runs a guest-facing coral-planting programme with a resident Marine Biologist — guests can adopt and plant coral fragments as part of it. An on-site dive centre also puts more than 40 dive sites within reach for certified divers.
Is this a good resort for families with children?
Yes — the resort runs the Sheraton Adventure Club, a supervised kids' club with creative play and activities, and several restaurants suit mixed-age groups: Feast's all-day buffets, Masala Hut's relaxed, shared family-style setting, and Kakuni Hut's beach-club menu of tacos, burgers and poke bowls. The 205 sqm Two-Bedroom Overwater Villa With Pool, with two bedrooms and a shared living and dining area, is the villa built specifically for families or groups.
What's included, and are meal plans available?
The resort runs seven named restaurants and bars — Feast for all-day buffet dining, plus Sea Salt, Masala Hut, Baan Thai, ChopstiX, Kakuni Hut and Anchorage for à la carte and specialty dining — but the guest materials we've reviewed don't itemise specific board-plan packages. IMJ confirms the exact meal-plan or à la carte arrangement for your villa category before booking.
Is Sheraton Maldives Full Moon an adults-only resort?
No — it's positioned as a family-friendly resort, with a supervised kids' club (Sheraton Adventure Club) and family-oriented villa and dining options such as the Two-Bedroom Overwater Villa With Pool and Feast's all-day buffet.
What's the spa like?
Shine Spa for Sheraton — the first Shine Spa for Sheraton anywhere — sits on its own secluded island connected to the main island, facing the Indian Ocean. Treatments range from aromatherapy and ayurvedic massages to locally inspired deep-ocean therapies, alongside an open-air yoga pavilion and signature treatments including the hot-stone-and-silk-honey Shine Massage and the oxygen-based Shine Facial.
