Meyyafushi Maldives

Barefoot elegance on one of the Maldives' newest islands.

One of the newest additions to Lhaviyani Atoll, Meyyafushi pairs a still-fresh design language with an unusually deep list of overwater firsts (an overwater fitness centre, an overwater wine cellar, a 24-hour cafe) set against a genuinely quiet, barefoot island.

As the closing stop on Tour 1, Meyyafushi gives the group two nights to see how a brand-new property balances its sustainability programme with the kind of polish agents will want to describe to their own clients.
