Raffles Maldives Meradhoo brings the legendary service of Raffles — host to the well-travelled since 1887 — to Gaafu Alifu, offering two distinctly luxurious experiences: a private island with white sands, a turquoise lagoon and lush greenery, and an overwater enclave facing east and west to capture majestic sunrises and sunsets. The resort is deeply committed to sustainability, implementing eco-friendly initiatives including solar power, rainwater harvesting, and coral reef restoration, while its own resident marine biologist conducts research and educates guests about the local marine environment.
The resort’s main all-day dining restaurant, meaning “star” in Dhivehi, where chefs present an inspiring menu spanning Southeast Asian, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisine — from oven-fresh pastries and tropical fruits at breakfast to Sri Lankan-style curried river crab and vibrant salads, all prepared with passion and precision on the beachfront.
A unique beachside barbecue restaurant where chefs use one of the oldest forms of cooking to create stunning, full-of-flavour dishes of fresh seafood and prime meats, accompanied by chilled cocktails and an exceptional wine list under the clear, star-filled Maldivian sky.
A sophisticated overwater fine dining restaurant serving a rich blend of Japanese and Peruvian Nikkei cuisine in a romantic setting — with a vibrant menu bursting with flavour and colour, from the finest ceviches to exquisitely crafted sashimi and contemporary Japanese-inspired dishes.
Beyond the restaurants, guests can enjoy private chef experiences and in-villa dining, whether it’s a torchlit dinner under the stars on a private beach, a surprise candlelit dinner by the pool, or a fully catered barbecue at the Royal Residence — all curated to create unforgettable memories.
