Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa

What a wonderful resort! This was our first visit to the Maldives and we couldn't have been happier than with our decision to stay at Le Meridien. September seemed to be the 'off season' or rainy season but we only had a couple of short showers so it didn't matter at all. We primarily enjoyed our time at the pool, snorkeling and enjoying the different restaurant choices. We chose the All Inclusive package. We aren't big drinkers or eat a large amount but it was nice to not worry about the prices and be able to try different restaurants without worrying about the cost. Shout out to Soma and Symon serving up drinks at the beach. Abby and Erma at Turquoise were so nice and remembered us everyday. Our villa was lovely and our stay was amazing! Thanks to all the staff at Le Meridien.

Amazing hotel with exceptional service. Everyone is so nice and ready to make any of your wishes happen immediately! I would love to thank chef Pradeep from Velaa for being so attentive. His octopus was unbelievable! Best wishes to the team, will be coming back!

Love the experience at Le Meridian! Amazing service of all the staff especially want to point out the most delicious place Velaa bar and grill! Chef Pradeep did his best to make us come back over and over again to discover all the dishes! Thank you for this unforgettable journey!

Best island so far for vacation and travel everyone was genuine kind and humble as well as totally money worth experience

It was really good experience staying for the first time at Maldives with Le Meridian resort. It is a comparatively new resort and great value of services provided. Very friendly welcome and positive relaxing atmosphere made by the personnel, perfect beach villas with garden pool and lots of opportunities to diversify your vacation - sunset fishing, spa, diving, etc. Lovely vacation! In particular, would like to point out Mr. Rishab Katwal for his attentiveness to details and willingness to help and the most positive and responsible guys from the villa support team who ensured our comfort and cleanliness of the stay - Mr. Rimah and Mr. Ali Hussain. Thank you so much, guys! Good job! Will be happy to come back for our next vacation here again.

Where do I even begin with Le Meridian Maldives… From the moment my wife and I stepped off the sea plane we were welcomed with hospitality, kindness, and a genuine willingness to help us with anything we needed. Every single thing about this resort far surpassed our expectations. The room, the activities, the service, the beaches, the wildlife, the cleanliness, the excursions, the food, all 10/10. We stayed in an overwater bungalow and were upgraded from a sunrise view to a sunset view, which was amazing. The water off the back deck is stunning, and you will see much wildlife from your own villa. Some of our favorite things about Le Meridian include: the Ray Bay excursion, the coconut ice cream at Le scoop, the baths that the housekeeper would draw for us, dining at Velaa,(particularly the 1000g tomahawk cooked by head chef Pradeep) visiting the gift shop to look at their hundreds of hand painted items for sale, the sushi at Tabemasu, visiting the spa for a relaxing massage etc. There are truly too many good things about this place to write here. The people that work here are very kind hearted and special people. The hospitality is unmatched, but it also feels so genuine. It was so fun getting to know them over the course of our time here. I’ll try to list some of the ones that made a lasting impact on us but I may miss a few. I want to thank Ishaal, Pradeep, Symon, Adam, Ari, Hafiz, Ceasar, Yassi, Erma, and Soma for making our honeymoon the very best! All of these people are just absolutely wonderful, but in reality all the staff are amazing and deserve to be recognized for their work and service. If you stay here you will not be disappointed. This is by far the most amazing resort we have ever stayed at, not only in the Maldives but the entire world. Do yourself a favor and go to Le Meridian Maldives!! You will not regret it!! Thank you again to everyone who made our trip amazing!!

We are a newlywed couple who came to the Maldives for the first time. We chose this hotel. The service is very good. All the hotel facilities are very complete. We were very surprised by the honeymoon package. The housekeeper Maadh Abdulla was very considerate and helped us book a restaurant and all kinds of entertainment. Most of the food in the restaurant is appetizing, and it is advertised that organic ingredients are used. Everything is very beautiful, except that our English is too poor, so we can't understand the service staff most of the time.

From the moment we arrived at Malé Airport, our stay at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa has been nothing short of exceptional. Arrival & Transfer We were greeted at the airport by a friendly staff member holding a sign, who guided us seamlessly through the check-in for the seaplane. Even though one of our smaller bags pushed us slightly over the individual allowance, the staff handled it with kindness and professionalism, balancing everything across our family’s total allowance. The transfer to the lounge (shared with The Westin) was smooth; we enjoyed a quick coffee and even had the chance to shower before boarding our flight with Trans Maldivian Airways. The scenic seaplane ride was comfortable, and to our son’s delight, he was even invited to sit in the cockpit with the pilot for a photo after landing a memory we will cherish forever. On arrival at the island, we were welcomed with drums, smiles, and an ice-cold drink. Check-in was refreshingly stress-free: no credit card requested, no transactional feel, just genuine hospitality. Because we had booked all-inclusive in advance, everything was arranged. This set the tone for our entire stay. Accommodation We stayed in a Beach Villa, which was the perfect choice with a toddler. Spacious, beautifully maintained, with both an outdoor coverd traditional shower and a Balinese-style outdoor shower. A baby bath and other thoughtful amenities for our son were provided. The minibar was good it was replenished daily with soft drinks, juices, and beer. In addition, there were larger bottles of spirits such as gin, whisky, rum, and wine, which (although we don’t drink alcohol ourselves) were a generous touch and were restocked every four days. Twice-daily housekeeping and turndown service kept everything immaculate. From our patio, tucked just behind some shrubbery that offered natural privacy from the beach, we could step directly onto our own stretch of sand, complete with two loungers and a parasol. Morning swims together quickly became our favorite ritual. Dining Dining at Le Méridien exceeded our expectations on every level. Turquoise quickly became our go-to for breakfast. The quality is outstanding: croissants taste like true French croissants, donuts are authentic, and crêpes are made to perfection. Breakfasts and dinners were a joy thanks to the genuine warmth of the staff. A very special thank you to Erma, who was wonderful with our son often taking him by the hand, allowing us a rare quiet moment to sip our coffee or enjoy an omelette. He absolutely adored her. We also want to mention Mauch, who was consistently attentive and friendly. On our last evening, the team went above and beyond, setting a beautifully decorated table on the sand for us, making it a truly unforgettable farewell dinner. Velaa Bar + Grill offered our most memorable dining experiences. Chef Pradeep personally created a tasting menu just for us, moving it forward a night since the restaurant would be closed on our last evening. From a refined tuna tartare and creamy truffle pasta for our son, to a Wagyu steak with pumpkin purée and foie gras, and spectacular tandoori-marinated lamb chops, it was all next-level cuisine. Desserts included a Piña Colada-inspired sponge cake and a Valrhona chocolate lava cake that was out of this world. Service by Soma was flawless warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Even at lunch, we enjoyed shawarma wraps, sliders, pizza, and fish tacos by the pool. While we also tried Tabemasu, the Japanese restaurant, and enjoyed it, we found Turquoise and Velaa suited our family best. Service & People The heart of Le Méridien Maldives is its people. Having Nifaau as our premier point of contact was invaluable from giving us a buggy tour upon arrival, to arranging reservations, answering every WhatsApp quickly, and even helping when we misplaced our villa key. His professionalism and friendliness made our stay effortless. Asaf, the F&B Manager, was always approachable and made sure everything ran smoothly, particularly for families. At the pool and beach, Simon constantly checked in with a smile, kept our drinks topped up, and even polished my sunglasses small but unforgettable gestures. Every single team member we met carried the same genuine warmth and hospitality. Experiences The Explore Spa, perched over the water, is breathtaking. My Balinese massage was excellent, made even more special by the glass floor panel through which I could watch fish swim beneath me. The house reef is accessible. In just one swim I encountered stingrays and colorful fish, while other guests spotted turtles and reef sharks further out. The complimentary photo shoot was a unique touch. We received a printed photo free of with the option to purchase more For children, the Kids’ Club looked fantastic, with slides and indoor play areas, and even pizza workshops for little ones. Our son preferred the pool, so we didn’t use it, but we met one of the nannies who was incredibly friendly and reassuring. The beach and grounds are meticulously maintained. Every morning, gardeners remove seaweed to keep the sand pristine. It’s truly a barefoot paradise no need for shoes all week. A tip: bring water shoes for the beach, as the coral in the sand and sea shells can be sharp. Departure & Final Impressions Even the departure was handled smoothly. We received a clear letter with our seaplane schedule, and the team accommodated our request to leave after lunch. It was managed perfectly within the seaplane company’s schedule, another example of how the resort fine-tunes details to guests’ wishes. We left with only one regret: not staying longer. In hindsight, with the efficiency of the resort, we could easily have stayed until the day of our international flight. Conclusion Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa is the paradise we had been searching for. Not cheap but absolutely worth it and refreshingly affordable compared to many alternatives in the Maldives, while still delivering true luxury. The attention to detail, the high quality of food, the thoughtful amenities, and above all, the genuine smiles and care from the staff made our holiday unforgettable. Special thanks to Nifaau, Erma, Mauch, Asaf, Simon, Soma, and Pradeep you turned our stay into something truly magical. We will definitely return.

There are no issues at all. I feel very relaxed on the island, and the staff are extremely friendly.I am extremely satisfied。
