Le Méridien Maldives is a five-star Marriott resort on Thilamaafushi in Lhaviyani Atoll, with mid-century design, beach and overwater villas, and a standout house reef.
Opened in September 2021 on the natural island of Thilamaafushi, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa is the Le Méridien brand’s Maldives outpost, set in the relatively underdeveloped Lhaviyani Atoll around a 35-minute seaplane flight north of Malé. The design follows the brand’s European heritage and a mid-century modern aesthetic, spread across nine hectares of indigenous greenery and lagoon.
Accommodation runs to more than 130 villas across beach and overwater categories, ranging from around 82 to 280 sqm, most with private pools and direct access to the beach or lagoon. Sunrise and sunset overwater villas line the jetties, with two-bedroom options for families.
Six restaurants and bars cover the dining side, anchored by the Japanese signature Tabemasu. The Explore Spa, two infinity pools, a padel court, and a dedicated kids’ hub round out the facilities, with a private island, Bodu Finolhu, given over to marine conservation.

Dining
Six restaurants and bars cover the dining side. Tabemasu is the Japanese signature, pairing modern and traditional technique with French precision and a teppanyaki counter. Riviera handles Mediterranean cooking in a Southern Spanish style, Velaa Bar + Grill covers beachside grills and wood-fired plates, and Turquoise is the all-day international venue. The adults-only La Vie is a tapas bar with its own pool, and Waves Café handles coffee and lighter, wholesome plates.
Wellness
Explore Spa is built over the water, with treatment rooms set on clear-panelled floors that look down to the marine life below and private outdoor bathrooms facing the ocean. Signature treatments include the Chakra Art ritual, the two-therapist Four Hand Choreography, and the Discovery Massage, which draws on Indian Ocean healing traditions. Couples and children’s treatments, a relaxation lounge, hair and nail care, and private yoga sessions round out the offering.
Location
The house reef is a major draw, wrapping much of the island with shore entry from the beach and overwater villa steps, and home to eagle rays, green turtles, and blacktip reef sharks. A PADI dive center and resident marine biologist run dives, night snorkeling, reef talks, and a coral restoration program. The private island of Bodu Finolhu holds a marine conservation hub, and the resort also has a kids’ hub, a hydroponic greenhouse, and a padel court.
