Raffles Maldives Meradhoo was formerly 'Jumeirah Dhevanafushi Hotel', in the same group as the Dubai Burj Al Arab, and was also the first hotel in the Maldives to claim seven-star status, commonly known as 'JD Island'. However, it was acquired by the French Accor Hotels group in 2018, and after renovation, it reopened in February 2019. The hotel is located in Gaafu Alifu Atoll and can be reached by a 55-minute domestic flight followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride. The main island is very small; going around the island takes only about 10 minutes. There are only 38 villas, 3 restaurants, and 2 bars on the island.
Raffles Maldives Meradhoo is a hotel under the Accor group. All rooms have private pools, water villas have net beds, private butlers, and 3x2 meter super large beds, showing its luxury. Beach villas and water villas are located in separate areas, with excellent privacy.
First, the hardware facilities inherit the legacy of the 'seven-star' JD Island. After being taken over and renovated by Accor, the facilities are basically flawless; second, all room types here have private pools and are equipped with private butlers. The smallest room type is 220 square meters, the bedroom has a 3*2 meter super king bed, and the water villas also have net beds and other facilities; third, the overall privacy of the hotel is quite good, the water villas also have independent areas, and it has world-class hotel management and service systems, with very good service; fourth, the snorkeling here is also quite good, and can be considered entry-level top level.
First, it is far from Male, and getting to the island is more troublesome; you need to first take a domestic flight and then transfer to a speedboat to arrive; second, the beach villas and water villas are separated, and you have to take a boat to go to the main island, which some people may find quite inconvenient.
