Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa
Island resort with ocean-view villas, a house reef, and diverse dining
About this stay
Staying at Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa places you on Thilamaafushi, a natural island in the Lhaviyani Atoll, where the surrounding blue lagoons and vibrant marine life are central to the experience. The resort's 134 villas are set within a tropical landscape, each offering scenic views of the Indian Ocean. Days here are spent exploring the house reef, diving into the clear waters, or indulging in spa treatments. Evenings bring a choice of six restaurants and bars, from the teppanyaki counter at Tabemasu to the global and local dishes at Turquoise, or the authentic Spanish flavors of Riviera by the beach. The atmosphere is one of relaxed luxury, perfect for both families and adults seeking a tranquil escape.

Our take
Le Méridien suits travellers who want a natural island, a proper house reef and real dining choice in quieter Lhaviyani Atoll. Six restaurants and bars, a dive centre and 134 ocean-view villas give it the facilities of a large resort, while the setting stays green and unhurried. The 9.6 score comes from 52 reviews, so it is strong but still young. Factor in the seaplane transfer when comparing prices.
- ✓Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best snorkeling experience and marine life sightings.
- ✓Book a table at Riviera for an authentic Spanish dining experience with beautiful beachside views.
- ✓Consider a villa with direct lagoon access to fully appreciate the striking ocean surroundings.

Why guests love itFamilies with picky eaters will appreciate Le Méridien's six restaurants and bars, from a teppanyaki counter to Spanish-style dining, which keep a week of meals varied. The natural island setting and house reef make snorkelling straightforward for children who already swim with confidence, and the dive centre suits teenagers. With 134 villas the island is lively without feeling crowded. Lhaviyani is a seaplane ride from Malé, so plan transfer time carefully.
