Radisson Blu Resort Maldives

Radisson Blu Resort Maldives blends an idyllic ambience with exceptional amenities to create engaging guest journeys, underpinned by the brand’s unique “Yes I Can!” service philosophy — offering a collection of beachfront or overwater pool villas, diverse dining, world-class wellness, elegant event space and endless leisure opportunities on land and at sea, including year-round whale shark encounters. A distinctive feature of the resort is its unique heart-shaped arrangement of overwater villas around the main island, while across from it lies Crusoe’s Island, an adults-only area featuring an overwater spa, a yoga pavilion, and a Robinson Crusoe-inspired pool bar.

  • Year-Round Whale Shark Encounters — Situated in the South Ari Atoll, the resort enjoys a privileged location within close proximity to whale shark hotspots, offering guests the extraordinary opportunity to swim alongside the world’s largest fish throughout the year.
  • Inspiring Dining — Guests can embark on a culinary voyage with venues ranging from casual poolside bites at Eats & Beats, fresh seafood and Mediterranean fare at Alifaan, innovative Nikkei cuisine at Kabuki, and the exquisite overwater wine and cigar bar, Mahurab.
  • Iconic Heart-Shaped Overwater Villa Design — All 128 beachfront or overwater villas range from 215 to 790 square metres, each featuring private pools, ocean views, state-of-the-art amenities and one, two, or three bedrooms, including a Presidential Suite with two levels of indoor and alfresco living space.
