5-star resort with private beach, shipwreck dive site, and 25% off seaplane transfers on stays of 4 nights or more

Overwater and Beach Villas

Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldises offers sunset overwater villas with private pools that step directly into a UNESCO-grade house reef. Family duplex beach villas come with a separate kids' bedroom featuring bunk beds and a PS4, plus two bathrooms and a jacuzzi. All villas include air conditioning, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and daily housekeeping with towel art and bed decorations.

Dining and Bars

Guests can dine at the Italian restaurant Mare Azzurro for pizza, pasta, and seafood while watching fish swim under the deck, or at Suan Bua Thai Restaurant for authentic dishes like Massaman curry and mango sticky rice. The Reef buffet serves international cuisine with live cooking stations, and The Club provides a private lounge with à la carte breakfast and premium spirits. Evening drinks are available at Coral Bar and Aqua Bar, where bartenders Anil and Rox prepare custom cocktails.

House Reef and Water Sports

The house reef surrounding the island is a snorkeler's paradise with turtles, reef sharks, eagle rays, and nurse sharks visible daily just steps from the villas. Non-motorized water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing are included in the stay, while motorized options and diving are available through Best Dives. A shipwreck dive site lies just off the island, and guided excursions include whale shark snorkeling, manta ray trips, and sunset dolphin cruises.

Spa and Wellness

Spa Cenvaree offers a range of treatments including the Signature Maldivian Massage and facials, set amid a tranquil garden with a 200-year-old banyan tree. The resort also has a fitness center, yoga classes (sunrise and sunset), steam room, and hot tub. Open-air baths and a pool with ocean views provide additional relaxation spaces.

Family and Kids' Facilities

The kids' club is open long hours and includes an indoor play area, outdoor equipment, board games, a PlayStation, foosball, and air hockey. Babysitting services are available for a fee, allowing parents to enjoy evening dining or spa treatments. The resort also offers a kids' buffet, children's menus in all restaurants, and a family-friendly reef where young swimmers can safely snorkel.
