PULLMAN MALDIVES MAAMUTAA
Why Pullman Maldives Maamutaa?
Pullman Maldives Maamutaa stands out for its all-inclusive luxury—something rare in the Maldives. Most resorts offer half-board or full-board, but Pullman includes premium drinks, spa treatments, and activities in the package. The resort sits in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, known for its deep waters and rich marine life, making it ideal for snorkeling and diving. The island itself is lush, with 18 hectares of tropical foliage, a natural lake, and pristine beaches.
The villa options are modern and spacious, with the standout being the two Aqua Villas. These feature underwater bedrooms where you can watch fish and reef sharks swim by from your bed. Even the standard Beach Villas are over 2,000 square feet, with private outdoor spaces. For families or groups, the resort’s lively atmosphere and range of activities—from golf simulators to cultural weeks—ensure there’s never a dull moment.

- Dining at all three restaurants: Melange (buffet), Sol Rising (vegetarian breakfast), and Souq Oven (Italian lunch/dinner).
- Drinks at all bars, including Phat Chameleon (vegetarian fine dining) and Saffron Affair (overwater bar with shisha).

- Access to the fitness center, golf simulator, and cultural events (e.g., Art Week).
- For stays of 4+ nights: a 45-minute spa treatment, a jetski session, or a one-tank dive.
The all-inclusive package is flexible, allowing you to mix and match activities. For example, you can swap a spa treatment for a jetski session or use your dive voucher for a night dive. The resort also offers complimentary fitness classes like yoga and aqua aerobics, adding to the value.
