5-star eco-conscious water villa resort in the Maldives

Each villa features a private pool and is surrounded by lush greenery or positioned over the water, offering stunning ocean vistas. The mid-century design aesthetic is inspired by the unique geography of the atolls.

Dining

Six dining options present a variety of culinary experiences, ranging from local dishes to Asian and modern European flavors. Turquoise restaurant serves dishes complemented by ocean breezes, while Tabemasu offers a blend of modern and traditional Japanese cuisine. The Greenhouse is a hydroponic farm supplying fresh ingredients for the resort's menus.

“Le Meridien Maldives struck me as a place that works hard to balance luxury and ecology, especially given its coral restoration projects and hydroponic greenhouse. The villas, surrounded by the stunning ocean views, offer a memorable stay. While the dining is varied, the commitment to marine conservation and family-oriented activities really defines the resort's unique charm.”
