Stated here for 5 nights at beginning of March after a tour of sri-lanka. Had a lovely chill out. Beach bungalow was lovely with a super outdoor shower. All the staff were lovely and welcoming . We didn't like the main buffet restaurant as just too busy. We enjoyed the Indian restaurant for breakfast and evening meal as it was more relaxing. We loved cafe mass at lunchtime and evening and found the staff very pleasant in both restaurants. The beach Snorkelling and the grounds were amazing. We couldn't understand why we were not allowed to bring drinks in plastic glasses back to our room as sometimes we just wanted to sit on our veranda and enjoy the views and wildlife. We had a fabulous few days and wish we had longer. My only gripe is the seaplane journey we left the island at 3pm for a 9.15pm flight back to the UK. Huge disappointment as hanging around the airport hours before we could check in. Nothing to do with the daylight hours as the outward journey from Male was at 5.50pm. Other than that we had a fabulous time at this beautiful island.

It was our first time at this hotel & would certainly recommend it. From our arrival at the airport to the hotel we were well looked after. The staff/ team were all professional, kind & went out of their way to make our holiday stay comfortable, enjoyable & memorable. We...

It was our first time at this hotel & would certainly recommend it. From our arrival at the airport to the hotel we were well looked after. The staff/ team were all professional, kind & went out of their way to make our holiday stay comfortable, enjoyable & memorable. We will definitely be returning.

Absolutely beautiful place. Staff are very attentive. Rooms are very comfortable and have everything that you need. There is a rustic appeal. Some things are in need of updating but it doesn't bother you. Food is very good. If a little repetitive. Drinks are very good. Nothing too much trouble....

Absolutely beautiful place. Staff are very attentive. Rooms are very comfortable and have everything that you need. There is a rustic appeal. Some things are in need of updating but it doesn't bother you. Food is very good. If a little repetitive. Drinks are very good. Nothing too much trouble. Staff really do their best to ensure you feel very welcome and there are plenty of them. Nothing is too crowded. Sea and beach are amazing. We had a sunset beach villa, amazing. My husband brought me for my 50th birthday. Certainly the best holiday I have ever had. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent all around. Lived up to the Maldivian experience that we hoped for. Clean, friendly, relaxed, perfect. We stayed in the sunset villas. They were quite far from the main reception and amenities, about an 8 min stroll so be aware if there are mobility requirements. All very flat mind...

Excellent all around. Lived up to the Maldivian experience that we hoped for. Clean, friendly, relaxed, perfect. We stayed in the sunset villas. They were quite far from the main reception and amenities, about an 8 min stroll so be aware if there are mobility requirements. All very flat mind as you would expect. The seaplane transfer is an experience in its own right and you get some amazing views and due to the distance away from civilization you truly do feel on a desert island. We loved it and would hope to return one day.

The pillows are the best - lying in clouds - the food is amazing - best choice ever but for me it is the staff - they cannot do enough for you especially our wonderful house boy Ali Hameed (villa 166) who was so attentive but had the most incredible...

The pillows are the best - lying in clouds - the food is amazing - best choice ever but for me it is the staff - they cannot do enough for you especially our wonderful house boy Ali Hameed (villa 166) who was so attentive but had the most incredible humour, great English and was a delight - best in the 5 times we have been here. We will be back next year for sure.

We are currently still here , this is our second visit and we will return . For us it’s just WOW . We have met some lovely people and had the best time . Still 3 days left and I’m not ready to think about coming home . From the food which has been amazing to the be lovely staff . Big shout out to Hari in cafe mass and Apoorva in the Indian restaurant who have given us the best service and such friendly people an asset to the island . Will write a bigger review once home . But if you are considering the Maldives then this island is a must . It’s not pristine it’s authentic . We love it

We just had 10 days of bliss....warm welcome and amazing sunset bungalow 30 steps from the warm sea! our cleaner Ali was amazing so friendly and good at his job! always topping up our drinks in the fridge especially coke for my wife! We had breakfast in the Indian restaurant as it was so quiet compared to the main restaurant. In the main restaurant they do need more coffee machines! and another toaster.. Apoorva in the Indian was amazing so friendly and chatty always welcoming us. We were frustrated in both main restaurants that for the first three days we had rose wine but then none was available, I did mention on reception and was given a bottle to our room which was a nice touch but please get more in as the English do love it when its hot! All cocktails available bar Mojito for what you pay more for, really strange? We did have a meal in the Water Villa restaurant roughly £150 but worth it the food and staff amazing. We will be back!

Let’s start by stating that in 30 years of travel we have never found a resort that we wanted to return to – until now! This was our second visit to Meedhupparu and won’t be our last that’s for sure. It’s a paradise sitting in a crystal-clear ocean with wonderful...

Let’s start by stating that in 30 years of travel we have never found a resort that we wanted to return to – until now! This was our second visit to Meedhupparu and won’t be our last that’s for sure. It’s a paradise sitting in a crystal-clear ocean with wonderful soft sand and blue skies. We stayed for 10 nights in a deluxe beach villa followed by 4 nights in the over water villas. We chose this resort because it fitted our budget and has 4 restaurants to chose from plus the wonderful water villa restaurant. It would be fair to say that the accommodation is not to the standard of a £5000 per night resort but it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, it exuded a quiet relaxed air which is exactly what we required. Ali our room boy (Room 116) kept everything clean and restocked so thanks to him. Each villa has 2 sunbeds with the villa number stencilled on the back so no having to get up early or indeed wonder if you will get a bed, we lay by the sea under the palm trees enjoying the dappled sun, for those who are more active there is a dive centre, free use of flippers and masks to snorkel and view the wonderful variety of fish, paddle boards and trips to view dolphins, Manta rays, turtles and the sunset. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding but our favourite time was after dinner at the sunset bar where we made some great friends, thanks to Riumesh, Ashen, Pethum and Hanaan the bar staff who seemed to be able to pre-empt your requirements. All too quickly our time on the beach was over and our butler Nirdosh collected us for the second half of the holiday, he looked after us SOOOO well, thank you, we also met up again with our butler from last year Manoj who greeted us like long lost friends. They both made our trip so memorable; we will be back. Our thanks here go to Unais our room boy (818), Bharath the villas manager and Suresh the General Manager. Whilst on names lets also thank Lasantha, Supun and chefs Nuwan and Pradeep – outstanding gents! We have added a few photos but believe me they don’t do this wonderful resort justice, see you soon

We had the most amazing stay here in the Water Villas we haven't stopped talking about it and can't wait to return. The staff could not do enough for us and our personal butler Clovie gave us exceptional service. This was our first visit to the Maldives and we are so glad we picked this island. It had everything the natural reef, beaches, fruit bats, sunsets and we felt like we were the only ones there...amazing! The food in the WV restaurant was exceptional, by far the best food we have ever had! Special thanks and mention to Chefs Nuwan and Pradeep! And for the curry you made just for us one evening which was out of this world. We will definitely be back!

Loving the island. Such a relaxed holiday. Cafe Mass was overall favourite place. Hari and Chathuranga are such great members of staff. Thank you for making our holiday wonderful. To be fair all staff out great on the island. We also had a great meal in the Tharva restaurant.

Great holiday in this lovely resort. So sorry to be leaving! Lovely staff especially Hari Amari (not sure of his surname but he is from India) in Cafe Mass. He made us feel very special and gave great service.. Lovely to wake up in our beach villa to the sound...

Great holiday in this lovely resort. So sorry to be leaving! Lovely staff especially Hari Amari (not sure of his surname but he is from India) in Cafe Mass. He made us feel very special and gave great service.. Lovely to wake up in our beach villa to the sound of the sea.

The Staff at Cafe Mass / Thavas were so fantastic and a big shout out to Asmita,Hari,Sumudu,Sumit and Chathuranga. The whole holiday experience was amazing too as were all the restaurants and the friendly staff. Plenty of nice cocktails.🥰

Amazing resort in the Maldives. Everything is just perfect. All the staff are super attentive, helpful and friendly. On arrival, Andrea took good care of us till we left. Service and food are amazing. Beautiful house reef, saw lots of fish along the beach. Did a basic diving course with Dasha which was fantastic! Can't recommend more about this resort.

Had the best Balinese and foot massage with Vijay and Nirmala in the spa. It was very relaxing but also obviously very good for you. The treatments were very good value compared to other resorts and the therapists were experts. The environment was very welcoming

A special mention to Rumesh, Pathum and Hannan in the sunset bar and also Ali, who looked after our room, always friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend & hope to return very soon.

We have found a great way to get over jet lag - the first five nights in the water villas! Everything was perfect and special credit is deserved by Bharath (manager), Asim (maitre d), Addhu (room butler) and Lasanth (barman). They maintain an air of exclusivity while being charming and friendly. We then moved on to our favourite standard beach villa for the remaining 25 nights. It took us over a week to meet up with all the staff who have become friends and to establish new friendships. I can honestly say that there was nobody in the front desk, housekeeping, security and food and beverage teams who was undeserving of the highest praise. It is therefore difficult to single anyone out but special credit goes to the following: Main Bar staff - Percy, Beena and Saranga. Cafe Mass and Thaava - Sandun, Shafraz, Sumith, Asmita, Sumudu, Chatuu and Hare. Main Restaurant - Adhey, Shafiu, Amir and Arnes. Sufura Restaurant - Apoorva and Abdullah. All the management team are doing a fantastic job and it was great to see how Anslam has made the RM role his own. Good luck to Suresh the new GM who took over while we were there and we were fortunate to spend an evening with him. Really looking forward to our next visit.

We had a wonderful time , the humidity has been a lot to cope with though . We had a fantastic member of staff called Veron who saw to our needs when my husband hurt his foot & had to get a crutch to get about. Veron also gave us...

We had a wonderful time , the humidity has been a lot to cope with though . We had a fantastic member of staff called Veron who saw to our needs when my husband hurt his foot & had to get a crutch to get about. Veron also gave us a really interesting talk on the history of this island & all the botanical variations of trees & wildlife. Thank you Veron.

We chose this for my 60th birthday and it didn’t disappoint. It was pure indulgence, we stayed in one of the water villas and had our fabulous butler Manoj look after us. The food was amazing, could definitely get used to the fine dining looking out over the ocean. The enormous bed & pillows were fabulous. The weather couldn’t have been better. The sea plane was an experience! Loved every minute

Wonderful stay in a tropical paradise, The staff are all brilliant and so helpful. The food is a really high quality, but I have to single out the Indian restaurant, Sufara, above all the rest. The food is prepared by genuine Indian chefs and is properly spicy. The Hostess, whose name I cannot spell, was absolutely perfect. The wifi is good enough to watch TV online if that is what you want. Watch out for mosquitos, that abound after any rain.

We throughly enjoyed our spa treatment, a couples massage by AMI and DWI, the best massage we’ve ever had. Very relaxing and calm in a tranquil environment. We would highly recommend this treatment to enlighten your holiday relaxation to the full. We will be back!

We have just come back from 15 days on this beautiful island, what can we say we had been here 11 years ago and had stayed in a deluxe beach villa number 140 and loved it, we had emailed the hotel before to ask if we could have the same room i know they cant always accommodate it but they gave us room 139 which we were very grateful for. Our room boy was very good cleaning the room every day and filling the fridge and coffee pods up. There is a few places to eat we ate in the main restaurant but at times was so busy which we prefer quieter but our waiter Yoosuf we want to give a big shout out to he is a asset to your team always smiling and making sure you are happy, we loved the Sufura indian restaurant as was much quieter and the staff friendly especially Apoorva who always greeted you with a smile on every visit and a shout out to Pawan and Singh the chefs in the sufura restaurant for the lovely speciality dishes. Most evenings we started in the cocktail bar which was amazing followed by the sunset bar where Rumesh, Supun, and Chamara took good care of us always filling our drinks. Keep an eye out for Vernan from the reception team always smiling and who would help you out if you had any problems and you can catch him on a Wednesday night doing karaoke😊 The only little gripe i had was they kept running out of white wine i started on sauvignon Blanc which they ran out of i changed to pinot grigio which also ran out and the only alternative that they kept offering me i found undrinkable this is not the staffs fault as they were quite sympathetic that there was none buts its a issue that should be addressed as some people might only like white wine. would i come back again yes most definitely it feels like a home from home.

This was our second holiday to Meedhupparu and it lived up to our return expectations in everyway that it could. Everything on the island was clean and well maintained and all of the staff were immensely friendly, helpful and approachable in every way. The island experienced its first rain of 2025 over night whilst we were there during which 28cm fell. When we awoke some of the islands internal paths were underwater. The maintenance team were on it straight away and by 1000hrs had pumps running to clear the surface water. By that evening all the paths were cleared of water and back in use. Throughout our stay we rotated around the islands restaurants but our favorite by far was the Sufura which specialised in Indian cuisine with a different theme each night reflecting a different province of India. The food was so good I am not sure I will ever be able to enjoy another curry in the UK again. The below members of staff I would like to give a special mention to as they regularly went over and above to make out stay even more enjoyable. Adaaran Select take note……these staff members are a true credit to your brand and should be retained: Apoorva (front of house at Sufura) - Always friendly and welcoming on every visit. Soyonia (front of house at Jaafaiy) - Always greeted guests in professional and friendly manner. Lexman (sous chef at Sufura) - Always friendly and more than happy to take time in explaining to guests what all of the specialality dishes were. He was also in charge of the chicken being cooked in the firepit which was mouth wateringly delicious every night of the week. Abdulla (waiter Sufura) – Polite, friendly and attentive. Knew what we liked to drink and would bring it over without even being asked. The sand area of the restaurant which he was responsible for was always pristine. Vernon (reception) – Really vigilant and immensely professional. Would always take time in the evening to find the guests whom he had had contact with and ask them how their day had been. Also an accomplished karaoke singer as he didn’t even need the auto cue. Nirdosh (Watervillas Butler) – Although not our butler this year he always made a point of coming over to speak to us and ask how our stay was going whenever we passed one another on the island. Immensely professional and always impeccably turned out. Ali Hameed (house keeping) – Maintained our room beautifully throughout our 2 week stay. There was never a grain of sand in the room after he had been and he also ensured that we received extra bottled water after I happened to mention that we both drank 2 litres per day. Petkum, Chamara & N.Ssanka (Sunset Bar) – Despite the bar regularly being incredibly busy these boys ran a very professional and efficient operation. There was rarely much of a wait for our drinks to be brought over and amazingly they also had time to have a chat and joke with the customers. We both appreciated their taste in funky shirts too.

First time to this island and we loved it. We stayed on the north side, deluxe beach villa (126) which was perfect and only a few steps to the beach. The snorkelling on the North side is the best. The all inclusive is very good and we found it better...

First time to this island and we loved it. We stayed on the north side, deluxe beach villa (126) which was perfect and only a few steps to the beach. The snorkelling on the North side is the best. The all inclusive is very good and we found it better than other resorts we stayed in. We didn’t feel the need to lounge by the pool and stayed on the beach with our allocated sun loungers and took refreshments from our mini bar. If you enjoy Indian food, the Safura Indian restaurant has totally amazing food, good selection of meat and vegetarian dishes. Chef laxman, Appoova front of house and our Waiter Abdulla were amazing, friendly, happy and took great care of us. Laxman’s fresh garlic nan..best I’ve tasted. Try the Indian sweets, so so good!! We spent time at Cafe mass and again great service, the cocktails are better made here than the albino bar. Waiter Hari is a gem, always smiling and happy to see us, one to be looked after for greater things. Our deluxe beach villa room was lovely, bed facing the ocean and Shamil from housekeeping was fabulous making it up and ensuring we had everything we needed. It was our anniversary and so wonderful to come back to a decorated bed by him, such talent! We didn’t spend any time at the pool, if you enjoy daytime drinking and other guests in close proximity then this is a place for you. Seaplane transfer ,do it to experience it, amazing views! There were a couple of niggles. All staff appeared to be carrying mobile phones and used them whilst working which really did affect the service in all areas. The prices for some of the additional services (beach dinners and spa) were disproportionate. I do feel a more realistic pricing structure would attract more custom. The local island trip was poor, whilst insightful it was expensive, poorly delivered and we felt a little ripped off. This island delivers great value for money, it feels very relaxed and has a castaway vibe which we really loved.

We had a great time here - a lovely relaxed resort. We have just finished our three week stay. Our third time here. A special shout out to Rumesh at the Sunset Bar - the best cocktail waiter on the island, and to all the team there - what a great bar! Also Hari at Cafe Mass who is a great waiter - and goes the extra mile. Together with asmita. Abdullah at the Sufura Indian restaurant was so kind and attentive. There are so many lovely staff members here that we can’t name them all. We will be back!!

We stayed at the resort for 10 nights and stayed in a deluxe beach villa. We were welcomed onto the island and after a refreshing welcome drink and short briefing in reception we were taken to our accommodation. The rooms are large, if basic, with doors that open onto the beach. We were thrilled with the position of our room (no. 168) on the North West side of the island. We were just a few steps away from the amazing, clear shallows of the sea and perfectly positioned to see the sunset and explore both sides of the island. We loved the outside shower, off the bathroom of the villa. A couple of geckos were unintrusive and welcome visitors. Our villa was well looked after by Ali. He was friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made sure we had everything we needed, including clean towels and plenty of water to drink at all times. As we explored the island, we came to love it. We saw small black tipped reef sharks in the shallows and a few types of fish. The sand is beautiful and mainly powdery. The sea is like the most beautiful bath. You can swim to the house reef. The snorkelling on the north side of the island is excellent. The numerous concrete jettys give a good vantage point for spotting many types of fish and one or two larger reef sharks. We also saw the resident eel and turtle. Around 10pm at the South pier you can spot nurse sharks and rays. It's well worth a visit. There's so much to see and do here in the sea or on the land. All the restaurants are good. We loved the vibe at Cafe Mass and found the Indian restaurant to be generally quieter for breakfast and evening meals. Thaava offers a lovely dining experience. Be sure to book when you arrive as space is limited. We paid extra for the beautiful lobster and prawns. We've never seen prawns that big or tasted any as wonderful. We discovered that much of the interior of the island is covered in original jungle which adds an interesting visual dimension and shade. The gardeners work tirelessly and there are beautiful gardens to explore. The pool is great and overlooks a beautiful area of beach. All the bars are good and there's a generous selection of decent drinks on the all inclusive package. The extended selection at the Albino bar is huge! We found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble wherever you happen to be. You'll be met with smiles wherever you go. We have loved our time on the island. As well as to Ali who looked after us in no. 168, we would like to also say a special thanks to Andrea and July in Guest Relations who helped to make our holiday extra special, and the lovely ladies who welcomed us into the Jaafaiy and Sufara restaurants whenever we went to eat there. The team at Meedhupparu make this beautiful island even more wonderful. We hope to return!

Amazing resort, friendly staff, we highly recommend visiting. We enjoyed the food it's very varied and the drinks are very good, with great cocktails. Beautiful house reef lots of fish. Lovely island lots of mature trees, lots of fruit bats, lizards. We will miss the parrots flying down to sit...

Amazing resort, friendly staff, we highly recommend visiting. We enjoyed the food it's very varied and the drinks are very good, with great cocktails. Beautiful house reef lots of fish.

Special thanks to Apoorva from the Sufura restaurant all the staff they were fantastic! Thanks to Niz for the bed decoration!

The island is stunning, the staff is friendly always smiling and very professional. Plenty of food choices. The house reef amazing and the beach clean and accessible. Rooms have all the facilities you need. A home away from home. A real paradise on earth!!!

We spent the most relaxing vacation here, thank you Adaran! We were accommodated in a beach villa, the room was excellent, spacious, clean, minibar stocked daily! The direct exit from the terrace to the sea was spectacular, it filled our souls with joy every day! Nature, birds and, of course, the reef seemed to be all just for us! The food was excellent, special thanks to sous chef Gayan Mapalagama who took care of the gluten-free menu that my wife needs every day! Thanks to the entire staff, they made us feel excellent! We will come back whenever we can with great pleasure, we will recommend you to all our friends!

We stayed in a standard beach villa (278) which was at the waters edge and was perfectly adequate. Large comfy bed. Large bedroom, spacious bathroom and outside decking area. Our ‘room boy’ came in every day and cleaned and was left spotless everytime….thank you. The food and drinks were so nice, though we spent every evening and breakfast in the Sufura Restaurant (apart from the first night). It was so much more chilled and the curries are outstanding. Big thank you to Apoovah, she greeted us everytime with the biggest smile and was so attentive, as was everyone in there. Laxman Singh makes the best omelettes and the most amazing naan breads and also such a friendly gentleman. We ate at the Al A Carte twice which was beautiful. Thank you Sadun and staff for the quality steak and all 4 courses The grounds are immaculate and the staff always say hello as you walk by My husband did a few dives which he loved with the Dive Centre at the hotel. So well organised. Thank you Vernon for the informative meet and greet and cold drink when we arrived off the sea plane. Too many staff to mention, but all were attentive in the bars and restaurants and nothing was too much trouble Thank you Meed, we had a blast!

A great relaxing full body massage by Ami. Excellent treatment from head to toe. Totally relaxing. Highly recommended. Shoulders & Muscles feel relaxed. Skin feels lovely and soft. Not normally into facials but this enjoyable too. Thank you.

We have recently arrived home from our 6th stay at Meedhupparu. From the moment we arrived at the airport and the wonderful reception from Rameez (considering our last visit to the island was in 2007 he still recognised us, even though we surprised him, and gave us such an amazing welcome…. Thank you so much Rameez!) he made us feel like VIPs. We travelled with another couple who were second time guests to Meedhupparu. On our arrival at the island, after a great seaplane journey, we had another VIP reception from Lami and her colleagues. Lami was always around with a smile and happy to help us through our two week adventure. We were introduced to the Spa staff in the main bar after lunch via a lovely 10 minute complimentary massage, we then booked for the four of us to have full massages which were amazing, thank you to Ami and VJ for ours and a highly recommended experience. As two of our party are gluten free Chef Gayan was more than helpful in making sure we had good advice on what they could and couldn’t eat including cooking us some amazing dishes, thank you Chef for looking after us. The waiters in the restaurant all went above and beyond (Shiham and Antay) to make our meal times happy. The new cocktail bars are amazing, the bar staff were friendly and helpful, usually remembering your favourite drinks, Shatu and Hari, we tried as many cocktails as we could but still didn’t quite get through half of them. The island is still as beautiful as we remember it and we had such relaxing time we really didn’t want to leave and the last surprise message from the island as we waved goodbye bye from the seaplane made us very emotional, they know what we mean! This island truly is still the most friendly and welcoming that we have stayed at, and we have tried a few others in our 15 visits to the Maldives. Thank you to all the staff who made this stay such a wonderful one, we hope to see you all again! Barry and Lucy

This was our 5th holiday to the Maldives but 1st to Addaran Meedhupparu Select. Overall we had a great holiday. Unfortunately due to a miscommunication between the resort and the sea plane we were left at the sea plane terminal for over 3 hours and therefore missed a direct flight to the resort and our 1st afternoon arriving at sunset. On arrival the female member of staff was quite off with us and then left us without luggage for 1 hr and by the time we caught up with our daughter at the bar we nearly missed dinner as this resort is 1 hr ahead of Male and our welcomer failed to tell us. Luckily the barman at the Albino very quickly informed us we needed to go to dinner. Putting this initial disappointment aside we went on to have an excellent stay. Our room was directly on the beach and honestly the best room we've had in the Maldives. It was very clean and maintained well. We mainly ate at the Indian Restaurant and always warmly welcomed by Apoorva and Preeti. Laxman was always cheerful and made the most wonderful garlic nans in his Tandori Oven. Rumesh at the Sunset Bar although over worked at times was friendly and good at his job. The visiting Cockatiels added extra entertainment! Our only negatives here are the jars used as glasses which I know the younger generation like but we hated! In addition this is the only sunset bar I've been to in the Maldives where you can't actually see the sun setting as there is an obstruction blocking the view! Gokkel at the pool bar kept us very hydrated during our busy days by the pool! The reef was OK with lots of fish particularly in groups but not the best in the Maldives. We snorkelled everyday and I saw 1 shark and my Son in Law caught sight of 1 turtle . My daughter did her advanced diving course and had a great time! She also used the spa and enjoyed the experience. So overall we had a good time and there was plenty of returners at the resort which speaks volumes for the resort.

I was going to give 4Stars as the resort is far from perfect but we did enjoy our stay& would return for sure. This is not an high end Maldives Resort but extremely good value for money. Arrival at Male ,very efficient & use of Coral Lounge at Seaplane Terminal-...

I was going to give 4Stars as the resort is far from perfect but we did enjoy our stay& would return for sure. This is not an high end Maldives Resort but extremely good value for money. Arrival at Male ,very efficient & use of Coral Lounge at Seaplane Terminal- complimentary snacks/drinks. Arrival at Meedhupparu, a bit underwhelming - straight onto a buggy to reception- no proper welcome as we had at another resort. Andrea at Guest Relations gave us the intro to the Island. The Island is beautiful,the North side IMO is prettier/better for snorkeling and gets more of a cooling breeze. Deluxe Jacuzzi Villa 110 ,for 16nights ,Aircon was great.Villa is set back from the beach, with a canopy of trees to offer shade & the opportunity to get a very itchy rash!!!!!!!! Which spoilt 7days of the holiday. Had several problems with the room,which were resolved quickly. 1 issue not resolved - it takes between 45-60 minutes to run the water into the Jacuzzi,in order for the water to reach the sensor for it to operate. The Rash - at 1st I thought mozzie bites, then thought bed bugs but then found out that it was due to toxic Caterpillar Hairs!!!! These can drop on you from certain trees when you are laying underneath them. After learning the cause of my rash,I did not sit under the trees again- spent time around the pool. The Pool lacks a lot when it comes to Loungers and umbrellas - only 40 loungers and 10 umbrellas - some of these umbrellas were only good for 1 bed - the Sun is so intense and many guests laid is sun with no protection. There should be more umbrellas to offer protection from the Sun. There is also room for more Loungers. There are Beach Cabana's but these also offer little overhead shade - maybe consider putting a better overhead cover on them. The Pool itself- sometimes the Water was like a bath , other times it was cooling - cannot explain why,as weather was blue sky hot each day. The Pool is not good for swimming ,due to size,shape and depth. Food - excellent throughout - Jaafaaiy main buffet always had plenty of choice,Sufura(Indian buffet)was very tasty ,Cafe Mas brilliant for a snack Pizza,burger or Steak Sandwich, Thavaa - we preferred our Lunch visit to the evening - good was far better. Drinks- mostly used Pool Bar and Halaboli(main bar) & Sunset Bar. On the whole ok. Main gripe is that it is Premium AI & the barmen kept using the cheap spirits,unless you specifically asked for a Brand - all cocktails were made using the cheap spirits - again ,unless you asked for Branded ones - this did seem to confuse some of the barmen ,as they did not know which Branded products went into them. Snorkeling - very good, we did not see any turtles but a good assortment of colourful fish. Dolphin trip - had a few fleeting glimpses. Special mentions Andrea Guest Relations - absolutely brilliant,helped us out whoever we had a problem Asmita - Thavaa Restaurant &Cafe Mas, extremely polite &very good service. Kappy& Yanish - Pool Bar ,always good service. Ghassan - Jaafaaiy Main Buffet ,always ensured our table was set up &cleared away. To summise, this is a terrific Island at a great/affordable price point,the food is excellent and service is very good. Thoroughly recommend but do limit your expectations - if you want pure luxury up the budget by a few thousand... PS Marsha is so sweet and friendly - you will see her flying around and will happily perch on your finger ,shoulder or hair.

The hotel was everything we had hoped for. The ambience, the food, the villa and all the staff were awesome. We spent a lovely ten days relaxing and enjoying. There is a laid back atmosphere, it is a lovely island with crystal clear water and beautiful beaches. Paradise 🏝️

This was our 2nd visit to this Island and was just as good as the first. As returning guests we received a special welcome with a private check-in and a lovely welcome drink. We were also invited and attended both of the ‘repeater cocktail parties’ that were hosted during our stay. On this occasion we opted for a sunset deluxe villa for the first 10 nights and had Villa 169. This was located at the very end of the island and just in front of the swing. This was a nice and quiet part of the island and the sunsets from this part of the island were amazing. We spent the last 4 nights in the Water Villa’s and is worth every penny. A massive thank you to all off the staff and managers for everything that they do in making every day special. In particular I’d like to praise the following:- Asmi, Samuya & Sumudu in Cafe Mas/Thavaa for looking after us at lunch on most days. Ali our room boy (169) for keeping our villa nice and clean, the bed art and topping up our minibar. Edward on reception, he helped out when our key broke in the lock and brought humour to the situation. Pethum & Rumesh in the Sunset Bar, kept us well watered and made some great Espresso Martinis with really good elephant decorations . Keppy in the Main Bar, always smiling and remembered us from our first visit. Avpoora & Abdhulla in Sufura who looked after us at both breakfast & dinner on most days. Nuiam in the Water Villa’s Restaurant.

Very professional masseuse and we had a relaxing massage in excellent relaxing atmosphere and very positive energy Well done by Ami Dwi. Would recommend Mandara Spa to anyone wanting a relaxing massage. The ambience was the best we had seen so far in any spa.

This was our 7th trip to the Maldives and our first time to Addaran Select Meedhupparu. We stayed for 12 nights in April. Our trip was booked through Angelfish Travel based in Cranbrook in Kent. They offer a specialist service, and its outstanding and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again, we also had a stopover in Dubia on the way home but arrange our own accommodation as we were staying with friends. We booked a deluxe beach villa and had room 116, which was well positioned on the north side of the island, the rooms are arranged in a horseshoe and some are more set back from the sea than others. We found the room to be a bit basic; but functional for the time you spend in the room. Sunbeds can be moved to where you want them positioned on the beach and we had ample sun and shade according to the time of the day for sunbathing or keeping in the shade. I think this side of the island had the best stretch of beach and access to the best snorkelling on the house reef and we saw an array of fish including black tip reef sharks, turtles, rays and octopus. It's lovely to see the sea planes coming and going and although the water sport centre is located on this side of the island it didn't detract from the sheer beauty of the island. There are two buffet restaurants and we found the quality to be better in the main restaurant than the Indian restaurant, although we did find the staff in the Indian restaurant very friendly and they even arranged for us to have Kedgeree for breakfast one morning which was nice. The a la carte restaurant was lovely, but disappointing we were only able to book it twice in our stay, the occupancy on the island was high and I suspect this was why, I do wonder how many no shows they get as I overheard a couple at the sunset bar say 'we are booked into the restaurant for 8pm, but we are hungry so just going to the buffet restaurant, which would have meant it was too late to offer this to other guests!' We found the all-inclusive drinks very good with a selection of wines by the glass, the bars are well positioned and found ourselves going between the sunset bar and main bar. We are happy with low key entertainment, but found the DJ to be on too many nights and played the same loud music that would have been better placed for a club in Ibiza than on a Maldivian island when the majority of the guests are of a certain age that would have appreciated music from all generations. We did like the duos and musicians at the Al A Carte restaurant. The main bar was busier when the DJ wasn't there. We found the bar staff very attentive and they got to know our orders. We took advantage of going on the free dolphin safari and saw lots of dolphins. We also paid to go on 2 snorkelling trips which were great and well organised by the water sports staff. Our room was well serviced and reception staff helpful. Overall, I would recommend this island to people, we may choose somewhere different next time for the variety especially when paying a lot for the holiday, but equally happy to return.

We had a wonderful vacatian in the paradise. Everyone was so cute and the food excellent. We apreciated also the SPA and enjoyed a relaxing massage. We want to thank you specially Marivic - she was soo cute and professional - she makes us feeling really happy 😍

We decided to spend our fourth consecutive stay in the Maldives, unlike the previous ones, at the Sun Island at the Adaaran Select Meedhupparu hotel. Change is life, and we did well. Because we already had some experience from trips to the Maldives, and because the German travel agencies did not offer our preferred connection, we decided to book a separate stay and bought the tickets directly from Emirates. We also bought a seaplane transfer at the hotel. What can I say about the stay - everything was great. After arriving in Male in the morning, we were immediately taken to the seaplane terminal, where we sat for about an hour in a pleasant air-conditioned lounge with refreshments and a beautiful view of the arrivals and departures of seaplanes. Then followed a flight of about half an hour to the resort, where we were immediately welcomed by the friendly staff and taken to the reception. After the introductory information, we went for lunch and then stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa right on the beach with a palm grove. The whole stay was perfect and I have absolutely no negative comments. On the contrary, nice, friendly and helpful staff everywhere. Perfect food and drinks in several bars including pleasant live music and especially the beautiful sea, a beautiful beach with fine white sand and corals with many fish just off the shore. At the end of our stay at Meedhuppar, we took the opportunity and upgraded to the Prestige Water Villa for two days. So it was with the butler, (a very nice Miss Clovie) who was always available to us and immediately after moving in we started with a five-course, a la carte lunch and we had this type of food until the end of our stay, which ended with another a la carte lunch and a stay in an air-conditioned lounge with a perfect bar. Just before departure, around half past four, our assistant stopped for us and took us directly to the pier to the waiting seaplane. Simply all the services were amazing. I can highly recommend this hotel and all its services.

The Sea Plane is a rip off. We requested an upgrade for a seaplane 3 days before departure from the resortand we were told the price would now be $305 rather than the $149 which is advertised at the resort. Never mentioned by anyone before. Very poor service.
