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.
Review
The Halcyon is a beautiful natural island which has some incredible dining options for clients to enjoy. The unique set up of a twin island concept with the water villas separate from the island itself. The island has a relaxed atmosphere so I would sell as an adults focused property with some of the most comfortable beds which are truly massive. The Villas themselves are all very private with lots of lush vegetation on the island by the beach villas. The house reef was also exceptional with a range or corals and Marine life surrounding the island.
