After opening in August 2020, the Radisson Blu Resort Maldives is the first of it’s kind to make this tropical location it’s home.

With the Indian Ocean providing a breathtaking backdrop, the hotel is ideally suited for providing the best of luxury experiences for its guests. The treasures of the sea are there to be explored with world-class snorkelling and diving. Each luxury villa includes all the amenities and attention to the interior decor that you would expect from a luxury resort. Guests can choose from various villa options, all with private pools or located overwater for that ultimate ocean experience.

Not surprisingly, seafood features heavily in the cuisine, and a culinary journey takes guests from Japanese to the Mediterranean, each prepared to delight and tantalise the taste buds. There’s a choice of four venues for guests to choose from.

The Raha restaurant provides a relaxed and informal option, serving breakfast and dinner and delighting guests with flavourful and nourishing dishes.

The open-air, relaxed atmosphere of Alifaan specialises in traditional Mediterranean dishes. The design reflects the service’s calming nature, with natural tones and mixed seating around a central show kitchen where chefs entertain guests with open-air cooking over flames.

Kabuki restaurant celebrates the theatre of Japanese cooking techniques and traditions. Culinary delights are prepared and served to guests with some of the freshest ingredients.

Formal dining is catered for at The Lab, where a sommelier pairs premium champagnes, wines and cocktails to pair with dinners hosted by the chef. Its surroundings are curated to emphasise the intimate setting, and private dining can be provided for up to fifteen guests.

Many guests come to the Maldives to create life long memories, and the Mahurab is the perfect late-night spot for indulging in the resort’s offering of wine, cocktail and cigars. If you’re looking for that castaway experience, then Crusoe’s adult-only venue provides a welcome retreat for explorers with views over the Indian Ocean. The Eats & Beats bar lives up to its name with its assortment of cabanas, sunset cocktails and freshly baked pizzas, creating that ultimate party vibe.

“Radisson Blu Resort Maldives is the first of our hotels to be opened in this tropical destination,” says General Manager Zafer Agacan. “Without the dedication of our team of staff, we couldn’t have achieved this accolade. It’s their dedication to providing memorable experiences using the best hospitality practices that set our properties apart.”

The mix of indulgent villas, lavish and varied dining experiences alongside world-class service secured the title of The Best Luxury Hotel in Maldives in the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. Judges were overwhelmed with the attention to detail, along with the team’s dedication to creating cherished memorable experiences for each guest.

The pristine islet on the Huruelhi Island lies 105 kilometres from the main Male’s Velana International Airport. Guests can be transferred to the island by seaplane, or domestic flight from Male to Maamigili, where the team will greet and escort you to the speedboat for a ride to your new tropical home. Guests are welcome to tailor their holiday to their requirements, from a short weekend stay, extended holiday or destination for their wedding and honeymoon.

A state of the art gym space can help work up an appetite before experiencing the diverse cuisines and dining experiences that the Radisson Blu Resort Maldives provides. For younger explorers, a kids’ club and games room will keep them entertained.
