About the island
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort 360-degree panoramic tour officially opened in September 2019 and is one of the highest-end hotels under the famous IHG Hotels & Resorts. InterContinental has more than 4,400 hotels in more than 100 countries around the world, and this is its first newly built hotel in the Maldives. The hotel is located in the Raa Atoll World Biosphere Reserve. After arriving in Male, there are two ways to reach the island: a 35-minute seaplane, or a 20-minute domestic flight plus a 35-minute speedboat. Chinese service is provided on the island, so there is no need to worry about language issues.
Why stay here
This resort is currently the world's most luxurious InterContinental hotel, highly trained in providing enthusiastic service and understanding the exciting difference that pleasant surprises can bring. Whether choosing a comfortable lagoon villa or a stunning water villa, both help you see spectacular sunrises or sunsets from your private balcony.
Highlights
First, the hotel brand is strong, rooms are large, facilities are complete, and a private pool is also standard; in all aspects you can basically trust it unconditionally. Second, Club InterContinental, the InterContinental special privilege: this is a Club privilege that at InterContinental hotels elsewhere must be enjoyed by booking a high-level room type, but at Maldives InterContinental you can enjoy it all. Specific contents are as follows: — ocean-view afternoon tea is provided every day — drinks and water are free every day from 11:00 to 18:00, unlimited across restaurants and bars — every day after dinner from 20:00 to 22:00, you can drink various cocktails unlimited under the stars at The Retreat restaurant and bar. Third, before the pandemic, Chinese service was provided, so there is no need to worry about language issues.
Before you go
First, children under 12 cannot stay in water villas. Second, the hotel's snorkeling is relatively average and not suitable for snorkeling enthusiasts.
