PB hotel design editorial

Strung across the reef edge of Meradhoo Island in Gaafu Alifu Atoll — one of the southernmost and most remote atolls in the Maldives, a 90-minute seaplane flight from Malé — Raffles Maldives Meradhoo opened in 2019 with an unusually low density proposition: just 34 villas distributed across a private island and an arc of overwater pavilions that curves into the lagoon like a loosened necklace. The aerial view makes the scale of that ambition legible — thatched rooflines over white-walled volumes stepping out from the reef in a chain of weathered timber boardwalks, the surrounding water moving through every register of turquoise before dropping to deep ocean blue at the atoll edge. The interiors, developed with a palette that draws from the Indian Ocean trading world rather than generic resort tropicalia, layer dark-stained hardwood floors against pale linen, hand-woven textiles in indigo and terracotta, and four-poster beds hung with sheer white canopies that move in the sea breeze. Louvered shutters in colonial blue punctuate the villa elevations, giving the rooms the atmosphere of a well-loved colonial bungalow rather than a constructed fantasy. The main pavilion — visible in the images as a double-height timber-screened structure open to the sunset terrace — uses raked diagonal bracing and woven shade panels to filter the equatorial light, striped outdoor upholstery and patterned terrazzo floors carrying the same restrained nautical sensibility through to the dining terraces.

"This was our second stay at this wonderful island. Previously under the management of Raffles and currently under Marriott. We stayed for 10 days and we really enjoyed every minute of it. For the second time, wonderful Nattu was our butler and again he went out of his way to comfort us. He went snorkeling with us in the house reef and played badminton and padel with us. At badminton he was a master, but his padelskills need a little more training 😎. Hopefully when we come back, more staff will be able to play. That being said, the padel there is wonderful. Maybe if the resort would promote it a little more, more padelplayers would be attracted to this island. In any case it is great that Halcyon now made it complimentary whereas at Raffles we had to pay. What else did we love about Halcyon besides Nattu, the padel etc? Obviously the huge villa with the gigantic bed which we loved. Furthermore the location, the attention to detail (the little gestures of appetizers and chocolates being brought to the room with at times a bottle of wine), the beautiful beach and great snorkeling, the food, the massages…. I could go on forever. Thank you Nattu and Ali and the whole team for going the extra mile to make our stay even more unforgettable. Hope to see you again next year!"

"Our stay at The Halcyon far exceeded our expectations! This was a very special trip for my wife and I and the hotel bent over backwards to make the trip special for us. Ahmed the resort manager and Zaha our butler not only took care of all of our needs, but were constantly surprising us with wonderful extras. Before we booked I was a little concerned about the overwater bungalows not being attached to the island by a walking bridge but the boat shuttle between the bungalows and the island was always instantly available and fun. The resort is in excellent condition. Snorkeling was some of the best we have experienced. The food was wonderful and frankly not as expensive as I had expected having heard all of the horror stories about how expensive Maldives food is. This is the Maldives Marriott property that I would recommend!!!"

"Our recent stay at The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives, Autograph Collection was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel right at home. Our butler Nattu was particularly outstanding, attending to our every need with remarkable attention to details! The private beach was absolutely breathtaking! Spent hours lounging under the sun and taking leisurely strolls along the shoreline, soaking in the serene beauty of the surroundings. The food was a culinary delight, featuring a diverse range of dishes that showcased both local and international cuisines. Our server Ali was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations! Overall, our time at the resort was nothing short of magical! The combination of beautiful villa with a private beach, service, amazing staff and exquisite food made for an ideal getaway! I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing escape. I can't wait to return!"

"Our stay at Halcyon in the Maldives was absolutely unforgettable and truly deserving of a five-star review. From the moment we arrived, the resort felt like paradise — crystal-clear turquoise water, immaculate white sand, beautifully designed villas, and a level of tranquility that makes it easy to completely disconnect and relax. What really sets Halcyon apart, however, is the exceptional service. Our butler, Nattu, was outstanding throughout the entire stay. He was incredibly attentive, organized, and always one step ahead of anything we might need. Whether it was arranging activities, helping with reservations, or simply checking in to make sure everything was perfect, Nattu made our experience seamless and stress-free. We also want to give special recognition to Ali from the staff, who was simply unbelievable. His warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality made every interaction memorable. Ali has a rare ability to make guests feel truly welcome, and his energy and professionalism added so much to our overall experience. The combination of stunning natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and truly world-class hospitality made this trip one we will never forget. A heartfelt thank you to Nattu and Ali for making our stay so special. We cannot recommend Halcyon highly enough and are already looking forward to returning."
