Overview

RIU's family-friendly, 24-hour all-inclusive hotel on Maafushi in Dhaalu Atoll, linked by a walkway to its Palace sister.

Hotel Riu Atoll opened in 2019 on Maafushi, a private island in Dhaalu Atoll, and is joined by an overwater walkway to Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas on neighbouring Kedhigandu. RIU arranges the transfer, by a 45-minute domestic flight and a 15-minute boat ride or by seaplane. Everything runs on RIU's 24-hour all-inclusive plan.

Rooms are simpler and smaller than at most Maldives resorts: Standard Doubles with a sea view and Doubles with direct beach access (31 m²), and overwater Junior Suites (37 m²) and Superior Junior Suites (41 m²).

Dhoni is the buffet, with show cooking and two theme nights a week, Sofia is Italian and the Beef Steak House grills; there's a lounge bar, the Sunshine swim-up bar and a 24-hour sports bar. The Renova Spa, a gym with the RIU Fit programme, water sports, nightly shows and live music, and the RIU Land kids' club round it out.

Good to know

It's a big, lively resort in the RIU style, with shows every night; the rooms are compact for the Maldives and have no private pools. The price is an estimate from RIU's published per-person rate, as 2027 isn't bookable yet.
