Pullman Maldives is located in the Southern part of Maldives, in Maamutaa Island in Gaafu Alifu Atoll. Traveling to the southern atolls in the Maldives is slightly different - First you have to take a domestic flight from Male, which takes approximately 45 - 50 mins, then followed by a 15 - 20 mins speedboat ride. The traveling time is definitely longer, however, the southern part of Maldives is definitely more untouched!

Upon arriving this island, from a distance I can see a large lagoon, with many different small patches of untouched sandbanks at one end. The island is absolutely stunning. Pullman Maldives is known as a luxury all inclusive resort, meaning guests can enjoy unlimited meals at all of their restaurant outlets, have a wide range of fitness options and complimentary non-motorized water activities or sunset cruise to choose from.

Accommodations
There are a total of 11 type of room categories to choose from, including different beach and water villas - with or without pool access, single or family suite, multi-bedrooms, etc… and last but not least there are 2 Aqua villas here at Pullman Maldives that stood out from other resort islands. Aqua villas are over water villas with a sub level, where one bedroom is over water and there’s a second bedroom underwater. Pullman Maldives is the first resort in Maldives that has 2 of these underwater bedrooms! It was seriously an unforgettable experience that will stay with me forever. A picture speaks a thousand words, I have so many videos of different marine animals that swam by throughout the day and night!

Activities + Spa
As an all inclusive resort, there are many complimentary activities here at Pullman Maldives, including different fitness lessons, yoga, group workouts, dolphin and sunset cruises, group house reef snorkeling, etc… There are also many add-on private excursions and classes that guests can choose from, including obtaining a padi diving license, even learning how to become a mermaid!

The Spa here at Pullman Maldives also have a wide range of treatments available, one of their signature massage is the hot coconut massage! I definitely have to say it was a lovely experience!
