Medhufushi Island Resort

Ranganath Guru

Medhufushi is one of the best resorts I’ve ever been to, it truly feels like heaven. From the moment I arrived until I left the property, everything was perfect. Whether it was the room, food, or activities, everything exceeded expectations. The multi-cuisine food was fantastic, with plenty of options even for vegetarians. I loved every bit of it, and even the drinks were absolutely delicious! The property is vast, and the rooms are spacious and impeccably clean. The staff were extremely courteous, especially in the bar and restaurant areas. The pool was beautiful, and the nighttime lighting made the whole place look magical. The water villa was also spacious, well-maintained, and a joy to stay in. But we were asked to check out by 5.30 am as the ferry was arranged at 6 am in the morning which we got only in the night. The only downside was the scuba diving experience. We paid $160 per person, plus $40 for a camera that was only 12 megapixels, which wasn’t worth it. While we were told the dive would be 40 minutes, we were out in just 18 minutes. Still, the experience itself was magical and worth remembering I definitely recommend this place to everyone and will visit again.

Me and my family came to Medhufushi just last week and we were happy with our choice of resort. We arrived with the plane on the way to the resort and were immediately greeted with a drink, they then brought us to the rooms. We took the beach villas which had an incredible view alongside being immersed in trees and plants. The rooms are spacious however, some maintenance should be done, not only regarding the rooms but especially in the common areas. The wood paneling of the pool was something we noticed as being particularly worn which should be changed. The towels used sometimes were particularly worn (in some cases with holes). The main activity that we did during our time on the island was snorkeling which was worth it. During the snorkeling excursion, we saw dolphins and sharks and even managed to see some as we swam. Another truly impressive part of the resort was the care the staff had to meet every need we had. Having a person with gluten allergy we did not expect to be treated with such great care. The head chef Anukmar alongside all of his staff made the experience of breakfast and dinner great. They went out of their way to prepare gluten-free pancakes in the morning and even showed around the buffet every night to indicate the gluten-free foods. Although the staff for the rooms and other spaces was nothing short of kind and fast we had a few problems with the staff at the reception. This is a simple resort which is ideal for those who want a quite vacation while appreciating nature.

Traveller Review: Medhufushi Island Resort, Maldives – A Hidden Gem Recommended with Heart! I recently traveled to Medhufushi Island Resort in the Maldives in March 2025 to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary, and I must say – it was an unforgettable experience. I planned the trip through MakeMyTrip, and I want to give special appreciation to their holiday expert Geetanjali Sharma. Throughout the planning process, I kept asking for more options – different resorts, packages, and destinations. Every time, she responded with patience, enthusiasm, and detailed suggestions. Eventually, when I was overwhelmed with choices, I asked her to guide me based on her experience. She confidently recommended Medhufushi Island Resort, and the moment I arrived, I truly fell in love at first sight! The resort is stunning – pristine, serene, and surrounded by breathtaking views. Most of the staff are extremely polite and helpful. I stayed 2 nights in a beachfront villa and 2 nights in a water villa – both were spacious, beautifully designed, and offered ultimate comfort. Truly a luxurious experience! That said, there was one major concern: the air-conditioning. Between 2 PM and 4 PM, the cooling in many rooms was not effective. I spoke to several other guests who faced the same issue. I really hope the hotel management takes this seriously, especially considering the Maldivian climate. At the reception, there were two staff members who came across as arrogant – one of them possibly from Bangladesh (though I’m not certain). On the other hand, the resort manager, Mr. Asim, is an outstanding gentleman – professional, courteous, and always attentive to guests’ needs. Food and drinks were absolutely top-class. The buffet had a rich variety of veg and non-veg dishes, and everything was exceptionally delicious. I’d easily give 100 out of 100 to the Head Chef from South India – a culinary expert with a very warm and cooperative attitude. One policy that seemed a bit odd – even with the all-inclusive package, guests are not allowed to take liquor to their rooms. For a resort known for its scenic views, it felt disappointing not being able to enjoy a drink or in the privacy of your beachfront or sunset villa. This rule definitely needs reconsideration. I also want to specially mention Ashwin – a polite, courteous, and incredibly helpful staff member who went out of his way to ensure our comfort. Overall, Medhufushi Island Resort is a fantastic destination – calm, picturesque, and well worth the price. It attracts quality guests, and as a frequent traveler who explores every part of a resort, I would confidently rate it 9.5 out of 10. Highly recommended for your next Maldives escape!

The peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets created memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Medhufushi team, for giving us such a perfect and relaxing escape — we can't wait to return!
