The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives
Gaafu Alifu Atoll, Maldives
The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives (formally Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort) invites guests to rediscover the romance of exploration — a quiet return to a more graceful way of journeying. Inspired by the voyages of Victorian archaeologist H. C. P. Bell, the isles celebrate the spirit of discovery and the soul of the Maldives in equal measure. Each private isle is a sanctuary of refined seclusion, where colonial-inspired architecture blends effortlessly with tropical design. From palatial beach and overwater villas to sunlit verandahs that open onto horizon views, life unfolds in a rhythm guided by the sea and sky. Discreet butlers and caretakers craft every detail around guests desires, ensuring that discovery always begins, and ends, in comfort.
