Le Meridien Maldives

Our recent stay at The Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and understated luxury that truly made our anniversary trip simply blissful. A delightful surprise awaited us upon check-in – an upgrade to an ocean villa with a sunset view. This was an absolute treat! Waking up to the turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean and witnessing breathtaking sunsets from our private deck became a cherished part of our daily routine. The villa itself was beautifully appointed, offering both privacy and stunning vistas. One of the highlights of our culinary experience was undoubtedly our time spent at Velaa. I have vegetarian dietary requirements, and I was so incredibly touched by the exceptional service provided by the chef, Pradeep. He went above and beyond to accommodate my needs with such warmth and genuine kindness. Not only did he ensure there were delicious vegetarian options available, but he also offered to create something special off the menu, which was truly appreciated. His attentiveness and care made our dining experiences at Velaa truly memorable. The resort also made our anniversary feel incredibly special. We were greeted in our villa with a lovely message on our bed, along with a thoughtful bottle of Prosecco and a delicious cake. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, ensuring our every need was met with a smile. Our trip to The Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa was an unforgettable experience. The stunning location, the exceptional culinary care from Chef Pradeep, and the thoughtful anniversary gestures all contributed to a truly relaxing and simply blissful getaway.

One word - amazing! My husband and I stayed 6 nights in a sunrise overwater villa on the west jetty. The villa was lovely and clean at all times. Kudos to the cleaning associates cleaning villa 225! We saw rays, fishes & sea turtles from our villa deck. The views were picturesque and picture perfect. Tides were low in the morning and it was perfect for snorkelling (for someone who is terrified of waters). Dining options were sufficient and breakfast is always a joy with Emsy (hope I got her name right) and the breakfast crew. Emsy is jovial and friendly, nothing is too much for her. We also dined at Tebamsau 4 out of the 6 nights we were there and the food wowed us all the time. We particularly enjoyed the makis and miso gindara (try and thank me later😉). The crew at Tebamasu was fantastic as well. They even remembered our last night and wrote us a sweet message on the desert. It is these little things that make our stay exceptionally special. Terderlion steak at Veela is also a must-try! All in all, we had a blast at Le Meridien and cannot wait to be back! ❤️❤️❤️

My (now!) fiancé and I had the most amazing stay at Le Meridien. Such a beautiful and well-kept resort that doesn’t miss any details. I also appreciate the care staff had for both guests and the marine life. In particular, we want to shout out several outstanding staff that went above & beyond for us! Sanal at Waves, Hifaz at Velaa, and Mifu, Nutte, and Miste at Water Sports. We also had a fantastic photographer during our photoshoot as well. Thank you all, and we’ll be back very soon!

This destination has been on our bucket list for quite some time. What better opportunity than to visit Le Meridien Thilamaafushi during our 20th Wedding Anniversary. My wife and I spent five nights here in early May and loved every minute of our stay. It all started with a seaplane transfer from Male to Le Meridien. This was such a unique experience that we will not forget anytime soon. From the moment you arrive the staff makes you feel very special. As the seaplane pulls up to the dock guests are welcome with a staff line up of smiling faces and island drums. Soon we are all whisked away in golf carts to the reception area known as the Hub. Here you meet your resort concierge who is there to take care of your every request. Our's was a young gentleman by the name of Ali, he was the friendliest guy who made sure we understood he was available to make any arrangements needed while at the resort. Ali then escorted us to our overwater villa and to our surprise had been specially decorated for our anniversary complete with champagne. He would prove himself to be an invaluable resource for setting up our excursions, dining reservations, and even inter-island rides. Day or night, Ali was always a quick call or IM away. While on resort we had countless snorkel sessions right off our deck that was a mere step ladder away from the amazing turquoise waters the area is famous for. So much sea life just a quick dip away from our villa home base. We saw everything from Morey Eels, Trigger fish, Puffer fish, crabs, black tip reef sharks and a million other fish all around. We loved it so much we decided to partake in snorkeling excursions with the dive shop. The team at the dive shop are so friendly and accommodating. Special thanks to Alex and Pyng, both of whom made our experience dolphin tour and turtle trips memorable. Dining at the resort was a highlight of this trip, the food was exceptionally delicious. My wife and I chose the bed and breakfast option, this included the breakfast buffet at the Turquoise restaurant each morning. This was a great spread of food that included several Maldivian local dishes along with way too many other international options. Our choice gave us the flexibility to dine at any of the restaurants for lunch or dinner having access to the full menu. The staff at each restaurant were so kind and attentive, one person who stood out was Abby at the Turquoise. We struck up a conversation with her during one of our dinners and she taught us a lot about the area and filled us in on life in the Maldives. The Spa services were great and just what my wife had been needing to elevate her relaxation. She came away so impressed with the facilities and spa staff. Upon our departure day, it was tough to say goodbye to such a beautiful property and the relaxation we so needed. The timing of this trip was the off season so the resort was no full and we felt as if we had the whole island to ourselves most of the time. We will definitely return to this wonderful destination. Thank You Le Meridien.
