Riu Atoll - Maafushi Island

Do as little or as much as you like at Riu Atoll – while away days on powdery soft beaches, snorkel amongst technicoloured marine life or master aerial yoga. Nestled on its own private island, this carefree all-inclusive resort offers a relaxing pool, spa with fitness centre, water sports and evening entertainment. Children will love RiuLand kids’ club, the playground and dedicated kids’ pool.

Located on a private island, Riu Atoll is reached by a flight from Male International Airport, then a speedboat from Kudahuvadhoo Island. Part of the Dhaalu Atoll, the island is south of Male and surrounded by shallow turquoise waters.

Rooms are set over two floors in a collection of white cube buildings which pop out from the palm trees. White walls contrast with wooden headboards and furnishings to give a natural feel, while large windows give way to stunning sea views. Opt for a Beach Room, which open directly on to pristine white sands and uninterrupted views of the sea. Alternatively, OverwaterJunior Suites jut out along the pier, providing direct sea access – you’ll love the chic Balinese beds and the array of towel artwork crafted by the staff.
