Honeymoon Dream Come True

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Jennifer E TripAdvisor review

If you’re deciding which resort is best for your honeymoon or a special occasion, please rest assured THIS is the one. We booked for our honeymoon and they took care of every detail from an airport butler, arranging our domestic flights with a lounge, and a full meet and greet when you arrive with drums and cool refreshing drinks along the way. Our butler upgraded us from a sunrise villa to a sunset villa. When he opened the door for us, our luggage was already waiting there, as were snacks, a large fresh fruit bowl, French champagne in an ice bucket and ingredients to make us the famous Raffles Sling (Singapore Sling) But Maldivian Sling. Our 9 foot fluffy bed was prepared with the additional pillows we requested using the preferences form that the initial airport butler asked us to fill out, including personalized scents for the Villa. We had a desk, a giant living room, two large screen tvs equipped with movies and (when we couldn’t find the movie we wanted) our butler brought us an Amazon fire stick. The Raffles has a “The Butler did it” campaign and truly our butler, Yasir, was a magician who seemingly had no limits. Heartburn — no problem, he spoke to the doctor and had medication with instructions delivered to the villa; change of villa scents — of course, and also had a very romantic bubble bath complete with flowers, cut outs, “together forever” and romantic music playing when we arrived; sun burn — ouch, he had a large amount of fresh aloe vera sent to the villa and made sure the aloe Vera gel container was full the whole time; interested in marine life — so is he! So he personally escorted and guided us through the house reef and pointed out fish and names, including turtles, sting rays and sharks; Thanksgiving — he sent over a Happy Thanksgiving surprise while we were out at dinner, a card and a pecan pie to share. Every time we left the villa, he would leave a thoughtful card and thoughtful surprise for us to come back to. I’m embarrassed but not ashamed to admit that I cried when saying goodbye and watching the island shrink as we sped to the airport. Everyone we spoke with or ran into remembered our names and were warm and happy and friendly. It felt like home and the service was like nothing I’d ever experienced. This was true luxury and for our honeymoon, I have never felt more special in my life. Of course this is already a long review and I have barely mentioned the amazing spa (please please treat yourself to a facial or massage — they are divine and staff are very skilled and knowledgeable, plus the room is the most stunning spa room I’ve ever been in overlooking the water with floor to ceiling glass and a spot on the floor where you can watch fishes swim by, maybe a turtle!) And the food — oh the food. I don’t even know where to start because everything was amazing and made a la carte and they didn’t even mind any substitutions or requests. (Thank you to the server and chef who agreed to my strange request to remove the bone from my tandoori lamb chop!) my husband is lactose intolerant and so often his choices are incredibly limited… but not here!! The pastry chef is a wizard and was able to whip up lactose free croissants that brought tears to his eye! This was an amazing honeymoon. If you are looking for a special experience, please book here. There is no comparison. We also appreciated the resort’s care in being sustainable and eco friendly. They use solar power in their villas and sustainable fish. They spent a great deal of care restoring the house reef which is beautiful and home to so many marine lives.

Samuel D TripAdvisor review

Raffles Maldives Meradhoo was everything we dreamed of and more. Our villa was a paradise—private pool, dock, snorkeling reef, and the most comfortable bed ever (and it's three meters wide!!!). Every time we came back, there was a thoughtful surprise waiting for us. The food? Unreal. From tandoori and thali to sushi and pastries, everything was fresh, creative, and delicious. The drinks were equally amazing, and the variety blew us away. I'm lactose intolerant and have never felt so safe eating foods and asking if they can do something lactose free - trust me, they probably can. To my lactose intolerant brethren: GET THE FRESH BAKED BREADS. Special thanks to Yasir, our butler, who made our stay effortless. Need anything, anytime? He was on it. The service here is next-level without ever feeling overbearing. The water and views are even better than the pictures, which seems impossible. We’re already planning a trip to another Raffles property because this was unforgettable. The level of service was so excellent I thought it could only live in my imagination - it truly set the bar for us. Huge thanks to Yasir and the entire team!

Having been to Raffles Singapore at the turn of the century I had high expectations but was completely blown away from the moment we were met by the General Manager and a representative cross section of the staff we would come to know. Cool herbed hand towels and beverages

I travelled three days to get to Raffles Meradhoo. It was worth every minute en route. The staff there, from top to bottom, but especially Yasir our Butler, were FANTASTIC. Special shout out to the staff at the beautiful spa, Mizy who was our host for breakfast every morning and made a few dinners especially special, and Tushar, the sommelier superior. I cannot rave enough about how amazing you all made our stay. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was a trip of a lifetime for me-- and I travel a lot!!!

windy t Friends getaway - TripAdvisor review

My bestie and I recently visited Raffles Maldives Meradhoo for a girls trip together. We had the best time! It was a very long journey coming from the West Coast, but I would do the long journey again to come back as it was so amazing! From the moment we landed in Velanaa International airport in Male and connected with the Raffles representative it was smooth sailing. He was so nice and helped us with our luggage and our Visas. He got us on the plane to take us to the boat that took us to the Raffles resort. When we arrived at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo we were warmly greeted by our butler Yasir and the rest the crew. They did a welcome ritual with drums and gave us coconut water fresh in young coconuts. It was awesome! Yasir showed us to our Villa and helped us settle in. The entire experience was so great! We absolutely loved the food, there are multiple restaurants to choose from to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meal choices were endless and the fish was so fresh and delicious! Always offering us fruit, juices and smoothies and fresh baked variety of breads and muffins. We really enjoyed chatting with Toshar the resident Wine and Sake Sommelier. He is such a doll! We booked massages at the beautiful spa almost daily. The spa is incredible! The view from the spa is stunning turquoise water and there is even a glass bottom to view sealife during your massage! The girls at the spa are so experienced and really helped us relax and heal. They are all so kind and genuine. We enjoyed going to The Long Bar and ordering custom specialty cocktails from Rangar who is a complete sweet heart! The service is 5 star! We were entertained and taken such great care of by Mizy and Monku for most our meals. Absolutely adored both of them! We will miss seeing their smiling faces! We had such a fantastic time! Appa guided us out on Jet Skis to a sand bar and was so much fun! He was a great teacher as I had never driven a jet ski before. We enjoyed taking the boat taxi back and forth from the Villa island over to the main island for various restaurants, the water sports center, the Long Bar, shopping in the cutest Boutique and the Spa. The boat captain and his crew were all so fun and kind. Actor always received us on the boat dock with a big smile and hand out to get us safely on and off the boat. The villa had all the needed amenities and was so clean and welcoming. The bed and pillows were amazing, so so so comfortable. We loved just chilling at our Villa, swimming in the pool with a vanishing edge making us feel connected to the ocean. Waking up and drinking coffee with that beautiful view of blue, green and turquoise water was magical. I can’t remember their names but the Security and manager were both so full of personality and helpful too. Last but not least our most wonderful butler Yasir made our stay so pleasant. He handled all our various reservations and needs making it so relaxing. All the special touches from Yasir and his team made it the most memorable experience. We looked forward to our daily greetings from Yasir and the entire crew. The incredible water, sea-life, the people, the food, spa treatments, shopping and various activities really made for the most amazing vacation ever! I’m already planning a trip back with my husband for next year!
