An island resort on Meedhupaaru
Adaaran Select Meedhupparu sits on its own island in Raa Atoll, roughly 153 km from Malé, reached by seaplane or a domestic flight paired with a speedboat. It runs on a 24-hour Premium All-Inclusive plan that covers dining across four restaurants, premium beverages, minibar, spa credits, and excursions. The resort has 20 overwater villas and a large spread of beach villas in several categories, plus the single Meedhupparu Residence with a private pool. It holds a 4.8/5 Google rating from over 1,600 reviews, with the house reef consistently drawn out as a reason guests return.
The honest verdict

What a stay costs
Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.
The house reef

The 20 Prestige Water Villas each cover 84 m², with a spa bath, private patio over the lagoon, and direct water access. They are the quietest category on the island — separated from the beach villa rows by the lagoon itself.
