Meeru
Meeru Island Resort, fondly known as Meeru by friends, offers a relaxing casual atmosphere. A large island by local standards, much of the island remains untouched, with its natural vegetation intact. It is certainly the resort for you if you would prefer to kick off your shoes and enjoy a casual atmosphere in which to relax. Read Our Opinion
The island is surrounded by a beautiful lagoon and long stretches of white, sandy beach, and is the only resort on the island of Meerufenfushi. The speedboat transfer from Male’ International Airport is a scenic, 55 minutes ride to this Eastern most resort island in the North Male’ Atoll.

This full day excursion in the traditional Maldivian mode of sea transport will take you to the uninhabited island of Kagi at the north end of North Male Atoll. This is a small island with soft sandy beaches and a good house reef for snorkelling enthusiasts. A barbecue lunch will be served on the island.
The Maldives is the perfect place for a spot of fishing. After all the waters here are literally teeming with fish. The morning fishing excursions take you trawling along the outer atoll, dragging a line on the surface for barracuda, wahoo and jack. Morning fishing is close to the reef, but in deep water. For night fishing you leave just before sunset and drop anchor near the reef.
The relaxed fishing uses sinkers, and all you have to do is sit back and wait for the fish to bite.
Big game fishing is another experience not to be missed. Using a rod, this is an exciting experience. Just wait and see who catches the biggest barracuda.
