Dubai Beach and Maldives Water Villa Combination

All the beautiful and spacious rooms and suites face the sea or the city/marina with king or two double beds, so able to accommodate families, and luxurious amenities including Wi-Fi access.  The emphasis at this resort is on rejuvenation and relaxation for all ages.  There are a host of activities on offer ranging from the kid’s club with special menus, swimming pools and an array of fitness, tennis and water sport activities.  For those who really wish to indulge or pamper yourself, there is a luxury spa centre featuring a comprehensive menu of body and beauty treatments and a short drive away are several championship golf courses.

A good choice of 10 fine dining restaurants, casual meal and drink venues include Bussola for al fresco Italian, Oeno Wine Bar with its cheese room, and The Spice Emporium for Asian delicacies.  Additional options can be enjoyed at the adjacent sister-hotel Le Meridien Mina Seyahi by arrangement.

The 112 thatched villas are simply furnished in traditional Maldivian style, each with a large private outdoor verandah. Choose from a beachfront or overwater location. The two Lagoon Suites offer maximum privacy and stand alone over the lagoon with access by private “dhoni”. Family Villas, consisting of two interconnecting Beach Villas, are also available and will accommodate a family of four.

Medhufushi is set in a lagoon so the best diving is experienced away from the island and the Medhufushi dive centre, operated by Werner Lau, can arrange this. On a plus side this means that guests can walk straight into the lagoon without standing on any coral and also that the resort is able to offer a wide variety of water sports such as kayaking, kite surfing, waterskiing, wake boarding and even surfing. Other facilities include a choice of dining options both over water and on land, an overwater spa, freshwater pool and fully equipped gym.

One of the most popular hotels in the Maldives, Medhufushi offers attractive accommodation and extensive water sports facilities.  Early booking is essential, especially for the Lagoon Suites.
