This island resort is simply stunning. Medhufushi is constructed in traditional Maldivian style on an untouched and unspoilt atoll, with a superb range of facilities, all run with supreme efficiency. The island is covered in tall palm trees and fringed by a perfect white sand beach and aquamarine lagoon. The natural style is reflected in the use of local materials including thatch and timber in the rooms and public buildings.
Our Opinion
A picture-perfect Maldivian island with lots to offer
Atmosphere: Primarily quiet (except in the school holidays) but action is readily available for those that seek it
Rooms: Water Villas are large and luxurious but the decks do not offer complete privacy. The Beach Villas are not quite as luxurious as the Water Villas but are pleasant all the same.
Dining: The long-serving head chef has devised a changing menu of international buffets which are of an extremely high standard for this level of resort. The Asian cuisine in particular is spectacular.
Activities: No snorkelling from the beach due to the large lagoon but a free daily snorkelling trip is offered. The diving and watersports are great and some decent surfing can be had here too
Medhufushi Island Resort is famous for its exquisite range of culinary delights which can be described as unpretentious, diverse and creative.

Surfing
While central Male’ atoll is crowded with surfers, meemu atoll is an untouched surfing paradise.
The geographical formation of meemu atoll gifted it with great exposure to south swells and there are plenty of reef-pass setups that will often see bigger waves than the more popular North Male Atoll.
The beauty of surfing near Medhufushi Island Resorts is that there are many spots within a short distance of each other and waves that will accommodate every level of surfing. So if you find a reef sucking barrel that looks rather intimidating, you’ll likely find a more welcoming and forgiving wave just around the corner or on the next reef pass.
Medhufushi caters for all your surfing requirements on near and adjoining reefs to this beautiful 5 star hotel, approximately 130 km from Male’ International Airport.
Surfing is promoted by Medhufushi for her in-house guests and those who wish to join and experience the thrills and spills of surfing in Meemu Atoll. Friendly and top quality services are the hallmark of their operation, and surf trips will be arranged without a hitch.
