Pullman Maldives All-Inclusive Resort, Island resort in Gaafu Alif Atoll, Maldives

Pullman Maldives All-Inclusive Resort is a large island property in Gaafu Alif Atoll featuring more than 100 villas and suites spread across 18 hectares of lush landscape. Accommodations range from spacious beachfront villas with private pools to unique Aqua Villas with partially submerged bedrooms and glass walls overlooking the sea.

The property was developed as Pullman Maldives Maamutaa, building upon the island's unique natural features including a rare freshwater lake and established coral reef ecosystem. The resort's development focused on preserving existing natural beauty while introducing modern facilities for guests.

The name Pullman comes from the French hotel brand, while Maamutaa refers to the island's traditional name meaning 'island of plenty'. Visitors can experience local traditions during cultural events like Art Week, which showcases Maldivian textiles and woodcraft displays.

Guests reach the resort via a domestic flight from Male to Kooddoo followed by approximately 20 minutes by speedboat to the island, with total journey time often extending several hours. Check-in is typically smooth, but allowing extra time for flight connections and transfers is advisable, especially during peak arrival times.

The resort features a distinctive underwater bedroom concept in the Aqua Villas, where guests can watch marine life swimming past from their beds through glass walls. This innovative accommodation option was specifically designed for visitors seeking an immersive connection with the aquatic environment.
