About this stay

Staying at OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort means stepping onto a small, idyllic private island where lush vegetation meets powder-white sands. The island, just over 350 metres long, invites leisurely strolls, and its surrounding house reef teems with tropical fish, perfect for snorkeling directly from the shore. The resort offers an all-inclusive experience, ensuring a smooth and indulgent stay. Days here are spent exploring the underwater world, unwinding at the spa, or simply relaxing in the elegant, locally inspired villas. The seaplane journey from Malé sets the tone for an exclusive escape, landing you in a serene haven designed for ultimate relaxation and adventure.

  • Private island resort
  • All-inclusive option
  • Excellent house reef for snorkeling
  • Seaplane transfers

Our take

This resort is ideal for travellers seeking a luxurious and comprehensive Maldivian experience on a private island. Couples and families who appreciate an all-inclusive package, excellent diving opportunities, and a focus on wellness will find it particularly appealing. Those looking for a bustling, large-scale resort might find its intimate charm too quiet, as the emphasis here is on serene natural beauty and personalized service.

  • Take advantage of the all-inclusive package to fully enjoy the dining and activity options without extra worries.
  • Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best chance to see a wide variety of marine life.
  • Book a spa treatment to enhance your relaxation, as the wellness facilities are a highlight of the resort.

Why guests love it

We chose OUTRIGGER Maafushivaru for its size, small enough that we walked the whole island barefoot on our first afternoon and still found new corners on day three. The all-inclusive plan meant neither of us tracked a running bill, and the house reef right off the beach gave us daily snorkelling without a single boat trip. The villas lean into local materials rather than glossy resort styling, which suited us far more than a bigger, flashier island would have.
