About this hotel
General information
Meeru Maldives Resort Island is the only resort on Meerufenfushi, an island in North Malé Atoll that is generous by Maldivian standards: about 1.2 km long and 350 m wide, roughly 32 hectares of coconut palms, tropical gardens and white sand, with some 1.5 km of beach along its shores. Much of the island has been left close to its natural state, and a walk all the way round along its green paths takes about 45 minutes.
The resort has 282 rooms and villas in nine categories, from garden rooms in the island's interior to villas over the lagoon and beach villas with their own pools. It is built for families and couples alike: families have a children's playroom, a playground and a paddling pool, while guests aged 18 and over have their own villas, buffet restaurant, bars and pool. Vegetables and herbs for the kitchens come from the island's own garden, and the island's museum tells the story of the Maldives and displays the skeleton of a blue whale. Stays are on full board or on the All Inclusive Plus plan with unlimited drinks.
Location
Meerufenfushi lies at the far eastern edge of North Malé Atoll, about 48 km from Velana International Airport in Malé. The transfer takes around an hour by speedboat; boats run to a schedule timed to guests' flights, and a yacht transfer can be arranged on request. A Crown & Champa Resorts representative meets guests at the airport.
Spa
Duniye Spa has two settings: one in a tropical garden in the heart of the island, the other over the turquoise lagoon. The menu covers Balinese, Thai and aromatherapy massage, the signature Ocean Dreaming massage with warm herbal poultices, the Maldivian Serenity ritual built on organic coconut oil from the Maldives, lymphatic drainage, reiki, reflexology, pregnancy massage, a sound bath with singing bowls and facials using Healing Earth organic products. There are treatments for couples as well as manicures, pedicures, hairstyling and make-up. Group yoga classes with breathwork, asanas and yoga nidra are held at the spa on a regular schedule.

Swimming
The island is ringed by some 1.5 km of white sand beach and a warm lagoon. Two freshwater pools sit on the beach: the Dhoni Bar pool, open to all guests, with a children's paddling pool beside it, and the Vilu infinity pool for adults only. Loungers and beach towels are complimentary. The resort map marks the snorkelling spots as well as stretches where swimming is not allowed because of currents.
