An adults-only, all-inclusive club on a coral island in the far south, with a house reef close to the beach and a lively evening programme.
ROBINSON Maldives fills the whole of Funamadua, a 10.7-hectare island in Gaafu Alifu Atoll about 60 km north of the equator. Guests are 18 and over. The house reef lies 20 to 200 metres off the beach, and the PADI dive centre runs courses, house-reef dives, drift dives and nitrox.
There are 124 villas. The garden and beach villas (65–77 m²) sleep up to three, with partly open bathrooms; the Superior Sea View villas sit in the front row on the beach. Over the lagoon, the Water Villa Classic has a private pool and steps into the sea, while the Exclusive Reef Water Villas and the larger Funamadua One Bedroom Water Villas, both added in 2025, have pools and nets slung over the water.
All-inclusive covers buffets at the main restaurant and drinks at the bars all day, except selected wines, sparkling wines and spirits; the teppanyaki restaurant costs extra. The main bar stays open late, the pool bar runs through the afternoon and the Sundowner Bar has live music or a DJ every evening. There's a WellFit spa with Balinese and Ayurvedic treatments and a sauna, a gym with group fitness and yoga, a padel court and beach volleyball, and beach and theme parties.
Transfers aren't included and take most of a day: the domestic flight is timed around other arrivals, and the return trip leaves the island four to five hours before your international flight. It's a sociable club with a busy entertainment programme rather than a quiet hideaway.
