Medhufushi Island Resort

Medhufushi Island Resort sits in Meemu Atoll, an area of the Maldives that sees far fewer visitors than the more crowded North Male' region, making it a solid pick for travellers who want a quieter island base. The 4-star property has 112 rooms spread across categories including Beach Villa, Deluxe Beach Villa, Premium Beach Villa, Water Villa and Premium Water Villa, giving couples and families a fairly wide range of price points to choose from, starting at $178 a night.

On-site facilities cover the essentials expected of a full-service resort: a spa with massage treatments, a swimming pool, gym, tennis court and several restaurants. The diving and water sports program is a clear focus, with snorkeling, fishing trips and organised tours also on offer, plus free Wi-Fi and airport transfer arranged by the resort.

With an 8.1/10 guest rating from 455 reviews, Medhufushi has built a consistent track record among visitors, and its combination of overwater and beachfront villa options makes it a practical choice for anyone comparing Meemu Atoll resorts in the Maldives.
