RIU's Palace-class sister on Kedhigandu, with suites, overwater pool suites and 24-hour all-inclusive, linked to Riu Atoll by a walkway.
Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas is on Kedhigandu, a private island in Dhaalu Atoll, joined by an overwater walkway to Hotel Riu Atoll on Maafushi. It's the more upmarket of the pair and markets itself especially to couples, though it has a children's pool and RIU Land too. RIU arranges the transfer, by a 45-minute domestic flight and a 15-minute boat ride or by seaplane, and everything is 24-hour all-inclusive.
All 176 rooms are suites: Junior Suites with a sea-view balcony and Junior Suites with beach access (40 m²), overwater Suites (47 m²) and overwater Suites with a private pool (60 m²).
There's a buffet, Krystal for fusion dinners, Yu Hi for Japanese food and an Italian restaurant, and guests can also use the Beef Steak House at Riu Atoll. The infinity pool has a swim-up bar, and there's a sports bar, the Renova Spa, a gym with the RIU Fit programme, water sports and evening shows.
Good to know
It's a large RIU resort with an entertainment programme, so it's sociable rather than secluded, and only the top suites have a private pool. The price is an estimate from RIU's published per-person rate, as 2027 isn't bookable yet.
