North Malé Atoll
Summer Island Maldives
A locally owned, good-value island in North Malé Atoll, with rooms on the beach, twenty water villas and a lively bar.

A locally owned, good-value island in North Malé Atoll, with rooms on the beach, twenty water villas and a lively bar.
Summer Island sits on Ziyaaraifushi in the west of North Malé Atoll, 35 km from the airport: about 45 minutes by speedboat or 15 by seaplane. It's owned and run locally, and the idea is barefoot island living with resort comforts.
Most of the 156 rooms are superior rooms and bungalows: ground-floor Superior Beach rooms with a veranda onto the sand, first-floor Superior Vista rooms with sea views, and Superior Bungalows in pairs. Above them are 16 Premium Beach Villas, 20 water villas and a single two-room Summer House with its own pool.
Guests in the rooms eat buffets at Samuga; water villa and premium villa guests use the overwater Hiya instead. Avi is an overwater bar and à la carte restaurant, Nevi the main bar and Baraveli a tiki bar. There's an infinity pool, the overwater Firuma spa, and Diverland runs the dive centre.
Good to know
The rooms are simple and many come in blocks of two or four, so it's sociable rather than secluded. The return transfer is compulsory and charged on top. Water villas take no children under 15.
