Check out Dive Worldwide’s early booking offer for Maldives resort
Plan ahead for 2016 and make big savings at Medhufushi Island Resort. Time your holiday right to take advantage of the early booking offer and a free night.
This first class resort is the perfect place to unwind. As the only resort on the untouched atoll of Meemu, a world of undiscovered underwater beauty awaits. An abundant and varied marine life, exhibiting a profusion of psychedelic colours, has made the region a fascinating dive destination.
A Werner Lau dive centre is on-site for all your diving needs and is PADI, SSI and CMAS affiliated. It’s a perfect setting to learn to dive in the six metre deep lagoon. Daily boat dives operate to the 30 local sites on the atoll and day trips to the channels are offered throughout the week for more experienced divers.
Your underwater experience will include a variety of dive sites from coral bommies, to overhangs, wall diving and shallow reefs. Expect to see anything from nudibranch to manta rays in season. Turtles, rays, sharks, napoleon wrasse, tuna and barracuda are commonly seen on the sites in this secluded area of the Maldives.
Two of the most famous dive sites in the Maldives can be reached from here – ‘Mantas and More’ and ‘Shark’s Tongue’. Nitrox is complimentary for qualified divers.
The resort consists of 112 beach and water villas including private free-standing lagoon suites accessed exclusively by dhoni. The comfortable and private rooms are surrounded by lush tropical gardens, have a coconut thatch roof and Maldivian furnishing. Medhufushi also has a host of other activities available with a gymnasium and fresh water swimming pool as well as a range of water based activities to choose from, or take an island hopping or night fishing trip.
Good things always come in threes, so this is the perfect opportunity to add a liveaboard adventure to your itinerary. The MY Sheena liveaboard cruises the southern atolls from here each week, departing on a Sunday. Typically, the best months to discover the southern atolls are January to March, when shark encounters on the Huvadhoo atoll are second to none.
Book by 31st January and take advantage of these great offers:
- Early booking offer (save 10%) – valid for stays from 01 November 2015 to 30 April 2016.
- Stay for 7, pay for 6 nights offer – valid from 01 November to 23 December 2015 & 11 January to 30 April 2016.
