Radisson Blu is a hotel brand, which blends an idyllic ambience with exceptional amenities to create engaging guest journeys, underpinned by the brand’s unique “Yes I Can!” service philosophy.
Making it Radisson’s first property in the Maldives, Radisson Blu Resort Maldives opened at the beginning of August 2020. The hotel is located on Huruelhi Island, in South Ari Atoll, which is about 105 kilometers from Male Velana International Airport.
The logistics of getting to hotels in the Maldives are the following: the guests can take a 30-minute seaplane flight directly to the hotel or a 20-minute domestic flight to Maamigili Airport, followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride.
While the Maldives has plenty of great hotels, it’s nice to see yet another major international hotel chain with a robust loyalty program open a property. The Radisson Blu Maldives has 128 villas, each of which is either beachfront or overwater. The villas range in size from 215 to 790 square meters (~2,300 to ~8,500 square feet), though I would assume that includes outdoor space. Each villa features a private pool and ocean views.
Embark on a culinary voyage at Radisson Blu Resort Maldives, with a diverse selection of restaurants and bars. It offers an astonishing number of food & beverage outlets, including:
- Raha, an all-day dining restaurant
- Alifaan, a Mediterranean and seafood grill
- Eats & Beats, a poolside bar
- Crusoe’s, a castaway chic themed bar
- Kabuki, a restaurant with Nikkei cuisine
- Mahurab, an overwater wine and cigar bar
- The Lab, a restaurant with twice weekly wine-and-cocktail paired dinners

The onsite diving and water sports centre embraces the beauty of the ocean, above and beneath the waves. The overwater spa features six couples’ treatment rooms and a choice of personal wellness journeys. A fitness centre and yoga pavilion provide spaces to work out and reconnect with your inner self.
Especially while the children are being entertained and educated at the kids’ club and games room, it is time to rest and enjoy. For life’s most important moments, the spectacular overwater Cleo’s Event Hall will host occasions that live long in the memory.
