Two private islands

Occupying an unblemished stretch of the resort’s blissful Beach Island, the vast six-bedroom villa is perfect for groups of friends gathering for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, as well as families who want to kick back and take things easy. Stretching comfortably over 1,700 square metres and accommodating up to 15 guests, the Royal Residence’s heart is the three consecutive reception rooms that border its 40-metre pool and look towards the property’s private beach. Whether savouring a fully catered barbecue, enjoying a boisterous pool party or simply admiring unimpeded views of another staggering sunset, everything the property offers can be enjoyed in absolute exclusivity. Guests inspired by those flourishes will have ample tailored opportunities to explore the many wonders of the world surrounding them. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo’s Marine Butlers can lead guided explorations of the resort’s two spectacular house reefs, while the Royal Residence Butler will be available at any time of day or night to facilitate private boat trips, hearty feet-in-the-sand meals under the shimmer of flickering tiki lights at barbecue restaurant The Firepit, or indulgent treatments at the resort’s overwater spa.

Raffles Meradhoo Maldives protects and preserves its incredible environment and supports its local communities. We do this by creating smart food production systems, nurturing our marine ecosystem, improving the quality of life for the local population, and upholding a zero-single-use plastic policy throughout the resort. So that means we fundraise to support local schools, clean our reefs, fish sustainably and grow produce in our kitchen garden. We have also installed an in-house water bottling plant and employed Reverse Osmosis technology to produce fresh, filtered drinking water from seawater, served in refillable glass bottles. Our Marine Biologist educates all staff on how to preserve and protect our marine life, and formally trains our Marine Butlers to guide snorkelling in our housereef and share vital knowledge with our guests. Our villas and walkways are equipped with LED lights to save energy, and we only use bamboo and paper straws. Finally, to reduce paper waste, we use iPads to share information and manage data. We do everything we can do and will always look to do more. A sustainable future for the Maldives is an enduring priority for us.
