With a very remote setting, even for the Maldives, the Medhufushi Island Resort is very popular and boasts a gorgeous location on its own private island. There are 46 overwater villas along with 66 beach villas, making this one of the larger 4-star private-island resorts in the Maldives. Perfect for any romantic holiday, they also offer two enormous Honeymoon Lagoon Suites, accessed by a private local boat and filled with extra amenities.
Beautiful as it may be, the house reef surrounding the resort is in fairly shallow water, so diving and snorkeling are done by special daily trips further out. There are plenty of other water sports and beach activities available as well, along with three restaurants and bars plus a full-service spa. In its price range, the Medhufushi Island Resort offers great value for the Maldives.
The Medhufushi Island Resort Maldives is located on a small private island in the Meemu Atoll, 130 kilometers south of the main island of Malé in the Maldives.

The Medhufushi Spa is a full-service spa featuring a wide variety of massages and treatments.
To reach the Medhufushi Island Resort you’ll need to fly to the main Malé International Airport in the Maldives. From there you’ll board a seaplane for the 40-minute flight to the small island where the resort lies.
Reviews for the Medhufushi Island Resort are generally quite positive, especially considering it’s firmly in the 4-star price range (although it does bill itself as a 5-star resort). The island setting gets very high marks, as does the service and the rooms themselves, especially the overwater villas.
Some guests point out that the food and drinks are expensive, and that the service can be slow at times, but this is true of nearly every resort in the Maldives, especially the affordable ones like the Medhufushi, so it would be unwise to take those too seriously. Overall this resort seems to get many repeat guests year after year, and in this price range it looks like a very solid choice for anyone considering it
