The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, Maldives

Located 111km north of Male, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort is set on an 11 acre island in the Baa Atoll. Flight time is 30 minutes by seaplane or a 20 minute domestic flight followed by a 10 minute speedboat ride.

We will be visiting this new resort in May so check back here for more details later.

From the air, the resort resembles the shape of a fish and as such the resort design seeks to compliment this. The arrival jetty is structured to resemble clam shells. All accommodation, inspired by turtle backs, comes with a double roof in order to recreate a perfect natural ventilation that can minimise the use of the energy for air-conditioning the entire resort.

The resort has a total of 70 villas, a mix of beach and over water accommodation. There are several dining options. The resort also benefits from an overwater spa, kids club, gym and a range of water and land sports.
