We spent an unforgettable week at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa, and every moment was perfect.
The island itself is breathtaking — lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and swaying palms, with just the right amount of wildlife.
It also boasts white sandy beaches and a rich marine life along the reef, although you need to swim a bit to reach it. From our villa, we were lucky to spot several types of rays and beautiful fish, though sadly we never managed to catch a glimpse of a turtle.
Our water villa was absolutely breathtaking and looked almost brand new. The design was both elegant and modern, and the bath tub was truly the cherry on top. I originally wished for a pool, but that tub was honestly just as good, if not better.
We chose this special week to celebrate my friend’s 50th birthday, and the entire stay felt like a dream.
The celebration began early in the morning under the watchful eye of Mauch, and our Island Host Nifaau surprised us with a magical experience under the stars.
When we entered our water villa, my friend was speechless for the first time in her life — the villa’s beauty, elegance, and grandeur were almost surreal. Even now, we feel as if we were dreaming. Ahmed and Ayisha decorated the villa so thoughtfully that the moment became truly unforgettable.
Every morning, breakfast at Turquoise was one of the highlights of our stay.
We always sat at our favorite front-row table by the ocean, feet in the sand, enjoying delicious food and the warm, impeccable service of Mauch, Erna, Jezzika, and Jaube.
Among many delicacies, I especially enjoyed my almond croissant with prosecco — always served ice-cold by the guys.
They made every morning sweet and cheerful — Shukuriyaa to all of you.
Our housekeeper Ahmed was truly exceptional — efficient, gentle, and incredibly kind. He kept our home-away-from-home perfectly tidy and never let us be without anything we needed or wished for.
We adored him so much that we joked we’d happily bring him home with us.
We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the professional and incredibly helpful reception team, who were always ready to assist with anything we needed. Together with Nifaau, they arranged a late check-out for us and even surprised us with a complimentary dinner — a thoughtful gesture that made our stay feel even more special.
Dining at the resort was consistently outstanding.
• Veela Bar + Grill offered mouth-watering steaks and highly professional service — thank you, Sirlana and Akbar.
• Thank you Yashu, Hafiz, Thallu. Soma and Symon for working so hard on the beach.
• Tabemashu impressed us with exceptional food and service, and even surprised my friend with a birthday song and beautiful decoration. Thank you to the entire team for that wonderful moment.
• La Vie quickly became our favorite bar, always joyful and welcoming. We loved spending our evenings there. A special thank you to Jayanta for crafting exquisitely balanced, premium cocktails — and to the lovely lady colleague who kindly advised against pairing white wine with ginger ale.
Dj Mikhail surprised us with tunes that perfectly captured the freshest and most current trends.
• Riviera served unforgettable lamb chops and delicious octopus — I still regret not ordering them again.
What I don’t regret at all is having my favorite dessert after every meal: guava ice cream with Maldivian chili — the perfect sweet-and-spicy combination.
The resort could further elevate the dining experience by offering a wider wine selection and making excellent use of a knowledgeable sommelier, which would harmonize beautifully with the otherwise gourmet culinary offering.
The staff truly made our stay unforgettable. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. from breakfast to beach parties and special celebrations. Their attention to detail, genuine warmth, and dedication truly elevated our stay.
Overall, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa combines breathtaking natural beauty, luxurious villas, gourmet cuisine, and exceptional service. Our experience — especially the 50th birthday celebration — was beyond anything we could have imagined. We left with full hearts, unforgettable memories, and a strong desire to return to this little piece of paradise.
