Medhufushi Island Resort is a 10-hectare island in Meemu Atoll, 130 km south of Malé, run by AAA Hotels & Resorts. It has a simple, rustic Maldivian feel, with sandy floors in the restaurants and a traditional swing chair on every villa deck.
There are 110 villas. On the beach are 44 Beach Villas and 14 Semi-detached Beach Villas (65 m²), with four-poster beds and outdoor rain showers, and 8 Beach Villa Suites (178 m²), two villas joined by a shared deck for families. Over the lagoon, 44 Water Villas (60 m²) face sunrise or sunset, with glass walls that fold back across the bedroom and steps from the sundeck into the water. Two Lagoon Suites stand on their own over the lagoon, reached only by boat.
Malaafaiy, by the pool, serves buffets with live cooking stations; Alfresco and the Vilu Bar share the pyramid-shaped pavilion over the water, with à la carte dishes, cocktails, billiards and darts, and evenings of DJ nights, karaoke and bodu beru drumming. The spa has four treatment suites on stilts over the lagoon, with a steam bath and a jacuzzi. The dive centre visits more than 30 sites in Meemu Atoll, and there's a gym, an outdoor pool, water sports, dolphin trips and visits to a local island.
