About the island
Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort is located in the pristine South Ari Atoll, only a 25-minute seaplane flight from Malé. Here you will be surrounded by miles of turquoise water, the epitome of the Maldives. The resort is on an island over 350 meters long, partly shaded by dense vegetation, surrounded by white beaches and adjacent to a spectacular atoll.
Why stay here
In 2020, Maafushivaru completed a comprehensive renovation: besides upgrading the island's hardware facilities, 34 new water pool villas were built, and beach villas were fully upgraded, some with private pools. In 2022, Outrigger Group bought the management rights from Lti and added its name and made some minor adjustments. The island has two-story beach pool villas very suitable for families. Dining: restaurants upgraded to 5, each with its own characteristics, fully satisfying your taste buds and making your experience different. In short, this upgrade of Maafushivaru is surprising; undoubtedly, it has been promoted from a 5-star luxury island to a quasi-6-star luxury island. In 2022 the island was taken over by Outrigger Hotels Group, but since the hardware itself is very new...
Highlights

The villas on Maafushivaru are built in local Maldivian style; water villas are built over the lagoon, very romantic. ④. Very good value for money; reasonable prices make it popular with guests. ⑤. This charming small island has beautiful natural scenery and soft white sand. ⑥. The island is surrounded by rich marine life and colorful beautiful corals.
Before you go
