The Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, an island resort on the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, is now available for rent. For a limited time, Raffles Maldives Meradhoo is offering a US$1 million all-inclusive island buyout. In addition to unprecedented privacy and a variety of special privileges, Raffles will throw in the use of an additional ‘deserted island’ that can be transformed into a celebration or adventure space.
An 80-minute boat ride from the equator, Raffles Maldives Meradhoo lies in a remote corner of the Maldives. Available for four-night, five-day stays, You Run Raffles Maldives enables a host to treat up to 70 guests to the all-inclusive, legendary service of Raffles, complete with Raffles Butlers at the Raffles Maldives Meradhoo.
After enjoying a private charter flight from the Maldivian capital Male or landing a private jet at Kooddoo airport (located in the resort’s atoll of Gaafu Alifu) via Gaan airport, the group will have full access to the resort’s two islands. A white-sand island hosts 21 large villas; while a second island offers overwater retreats.
As part of You Run Raffles Maldives, guests will also have access to a nearby deserted island.
The culinary team at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo will create special menus and tailored dining experiences for guests. Guests are invited to dine whenever and wherever they wish, on a complimentary basis. Exclusive dining experiences may involve The Firepit, an elemental, tiki torch-lit barbecue restaurant where diners sit at sunken tables that have been carved from the sand, the elegant Nikkei restaurant, Yuzu, or the Long Bar.
Raffles Spa will treat guests to Biologique Recherche facials, Aromatherapy Associates massages, and many more bespoke treatments. Guests are also free to enjoy water sports and have unlimited use of the resort’s yacht Azimut. Dolphin-watching cruises, fishing or diving expeditions may be arranged, with refreshments waiting on board.
Sea-life lovers can also enjoy this region’s remarkable beauty under the guidance of their own Raffles Marine Butler, a unique concept in the Maldives. They will lead snorkelling excursions to the resort’s two house reefs. Guests can see parrotfish, blacktip sharks and 22 hawksbill turtles.
As a personal memento, guests will receive a range of personalised souvenirs including a customised robe, complete with the embroidered event name You Run Raffles Maldives, and custom epicurean treats created by the chefs for guests to take home.
The rate includes a 5% charitable donation, split between the Maldives’ Marine Center and the Olive Ridley Project, an NGO that works to protect sea turtles.
