InterContinental Maldives
Maamunagau Resort
Emerging from the indigo depths of the Indian Ocean, the InterContinental
Maldives Maamunagau Resort is a beacon of luxury on the horizon. From the
moment your seaplane alights on the shimmering crystal clear waters to the
sadness of your 昀nal farewell, the resort delights and delivers a most memorable
experience.
Maamunagau Island is not just a static paradise but a living, breathing landscape
of experiences. The Marine Discovery Centre o昀ers insights into marine
conservation, while the Watersports Centre beckons the adventurous with its
plethora of oceanic activities. Sunset 昀shing, dolphin-watching excursions, and
traditional Dhoni sailing trips are just a taste of the aquatic adventures that await.
The seaplane journey to Maamunagau Island is a spectacle in itself, o昀ering a
bird9s-eye view of the atolls 4 a prelude to the splendour that awaits. Upon
landing, the resonance of the Bodu Beru drums and the warmth of the island
greeters encapsulate the spirit of the Maldives, a tradition-rich welcome that is as
genuine as it is jubilant.
For those inclined towards cultural immersion, the resort organizes visits to local
islands, providing a glimpse into the Maldivian way of life, its people, and their
crafts.
InterContinental9s accommodations are a testament to understated elegance.
The Overwater Pool Villas, a sublime fusion of traditional Maldivian design and
modern luxury, are sanctuaries of tranquility. The Residence with Plunge Pool
represents the pinnacle of privacy, with its generous living spaces and discreet
butler service. For families or groups, the Two-Bedroom Family Lagoon Villas
o昀er a spacious haven with stunning lagoon views and direct access to the waters
below.
The resort9s dining venues are a culinary atlas, charting a course through global
昀avours with local 昀nesse. At The Lighthouse, 昀ne dining meets a panoramic vista
of the ocean, while Café Umi o昀ers a relaxed ambience for all-day international
fare. The Collectives, with its live cooking stations, adds a dynamic edge to dining.
Avi Pool Bar presents a trove of tropical cocktails paired with light bites, perfect
for those languid afternoons by the pool.
For an intimate gastronomic journey, the Sunset Beach Dining Experience invites
guests to dine under a canopy of stars, with the gentle lap of waves playing in the
background.
The resort9s Spa and Wellness Centre, 昀oating on the lagoon, is an abode where
ancient Maldivian healing traditions meet contemporary techniques. The wellness
journey is complemented by thermal therapies, hydrotherapy, and a range of
holistic treatments that promote a deep sense of well-being.
The resort is not only a custodian of luxury but also of the environment it graces.
It stands as a paragon of sustainable luxury, with initiatives like the Green Engage
System, which monitors and reduces the resort9s carbon footprint, ensuring that
the paradise remains unspoiled for future generations.
The ethos of InterContinental service is omnipresent. Each sta昀 member is not
just an employee but a curator of experience, ensuring that every moment is
bespoke, every desire met with intuitive grace. The resort9s all-inclusive o昀ering,
the InterContinental® Maldives Plan, exempli昀es this philosophy, providing
guests with an array of dining options, experiences, and services that celebrate the
art of 昀ne living.

every moment is imbued with the essence of Maldivian magic. The
