Set amidst 18 hectares of lush tropical flora and fauna on the Gafu Alifu Atoll, Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort will open its doors today. The all-inclusive resort boasts 122 decadent villas, including two exclusive Aqua Villas featuring bedrooms submerged beneath the turquoise waters for a truly memorable experience of the region’s marine life up close.

The Royal Suite is a resort within a resort and provides complete privacy and indulgence including a high degree of personalized services.

“We are delighted to be shining the spotlight on the Maldives once again with the launch of our fifth Accor property. Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort is a stunning addition to the premium segment and we look forward to welcoming global nomads to explore the spectacular marine life of Gafu Alifu Atoll and its surrounding diving sites,” said Patrick Basset, chief operating officer of Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia and the Maldives at Accor.

Featuring a range of over-water and beachside villas, Pullman Maldives Maamutaa is surrounded by lush vegetation, a natural lake and sun-kissed beaches, plus one of the region’s largest and deepest lagoons. With water temperatures slightly colder than many other islands, the richness of the marine life and the colours of the coral are unparalleled. For example, this is the only place where divers can spot up to 13 species of sharks in the water.

“With our generous all-inclusive offering, we look forward to welcoming guests to the Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort where they can explore the island’s sandy beaches, nature trails and renowned diving sites while enjoying a full wellness and culinary journey,” said John Bendtsen, general manager of Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort.
