House reef
Our rating
2/5
Thin
There is no reef off the beach or the villas here. The resort runs a free boat to the reef twice a day, and those reefs are decent without being remarkable. The lagoon itself has plenty of fish, and the water under the boardwalk and around the Earth villas is better than most guests expect, because the seagrass was deliberately left there and the marine life shows it. Come for the diving, which is excellent, and for the underwater restaurant. Do not come expecting to snorkel from your steps.

Outstanding 5 star exceptional hoilday
From the moment we arrived at Ozen Life Maadhoo, our exceptional holiday began. We had a Wind Villa with pool.
A stay where I could truly relax with the meticulous butler service, exquisite dining, and location.
The entire experience, from the boat transfer from Male Airport, to arriving at the island, and back to Male Airport, was consistently a wonderful experience.
Experience taken to a new level
Ozen life Maadhoo is a high quality resort in the South Malé atoll an is approximately 45 minutes by boat from the airport.

About the resort
OZEN Life Maadhoo has no reef off its beach, so the resort takes you to one: snorkelling boats leave at 09:00 and 15:00 every day, as often as you like, and they are in the price. So is a meal six metres under the sea at M6m, the underwater restaurant.
This is the more active of the two OZEN islands in South Malé Atoll, with 106 villas, eight places to eat and drink, a PADI dive centre and the ELE|NA spa. The resort speedboat takes about 45 minutes from Velana and runs day and night.
What you pay
Pick a villa and your dates above and the price is four or five nights for two on THE INDULGENCE Plan, the only plan the resort sells, with the return speedboat and every Maldivian tax, green tax included.
Most dates carry an early-booking saving of up to a fifth off the villa, for bookings made by the deadline shown beside the price. Over Christmas and New Year, and for a short spell in spring, the full price applies.
The plain villas sit close together. The Earth Villa on the beach is the lowest price, and the Wind Villa over the water adds only a little. A private pool is the real step up, with the Jacuzzi and slide villa in between.
You can split the stay between the beach and the water. Two nights in an Earth Villa and two in a Wind Villa comes to halfway between four nights in each. We price splits on request, and the resort may swap the order of the two halves.
The one-bedroom Earth Pool Residence sits above the two-bedroom Earth Pool Pavilion because, from four nights, it adds an in-villa meal, a floating afternoon tea and a tasting.
What's included, and what isn't
In the price: your villa, all meals at The Palms, dinners at Tradition Peking and Tradition IndoCeylon, one lunch at LONU and one meal at M6m, premium drinks including champagne, a daily minibar, the snorkelling boats, a sunset cruise and sunset fishing, spa or dive vouchers, non-motorised water sports, paddle tennis and pickleball, the kids' club, and the return speedboat with the airport lounge.
Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, dinner at Hudhu Bay Beach Club, dive equipment and courses, personal training, babysitting, anything after 11:00 on departure day, Indian TCS, and anything not named above.
Who this isn't for
Snorkellers who want to swim straight off their steps. The reefs are a boat ride away. Our sister pick, OZEN Reserve Bolifushi, has a reef you can reach from the beach.
Anyone who wants a private pool at the lowest price. Neither the Earth Villa nor the Wind Villa has one.
Families hoping for an underwater dinner with young children. M6m is for guests 12 and over at dinner. Families go at lunch.
Before you book
Four nights is the shortest stay we price. Shorter stays need the resort's approval, so we price them on request. LONU and M6m both need four nights.
Prices are for two. The Wind Villas take a third guest on a sofa bed, the Earth Villas take up to four, and the Earth Pool Pavilion sleeps six. Ask us about the resort's Kids Go Free offer, which works alongside these prices.
Not priced on this page: THE OZEN RESIDENCE and some dates. Pick your dates above and anything unpriced comes to us with the dates filled in.
Send us your dates and who is travelling, and we will price the villas you are weighing, a split stay included. Message our Maldives specialists on WhatsApp or send us an enquiry. We reply within 24 hours.
Underwater restaurant
M6m
M6m is short for minus six metres, which is how far under the lagoon at OZEN LIFE Maadhoo you eat. The dining room looks straight on to a coral reef, and reef sharks and shoals of fish pass close to the glass. The menu is a long tasting menu of seafood, meat or vegetarian courses, with wine and Champagne to match.
What sets it apart is that it is in the price. On the all-inclusive plan, a stay of four nights or more includes one meal at M6m for everyone aged 12 and over, and a stay of fourteen nights includes a second. Children under 12 can dine only at lunch, which is open to families. Tables are booked ahead, so we reserve yours with the villa.

Frequently asked questions
Where is OZEN Life Maadhoo?
OZEN Life Maadhoo is in South Malé Atoll, about 45 minutes from Velana by the resort's speedboat. The boats run day and night. The return speedboat and the airport lounge are in the price. Its sister resort, OZEN Reserve Bolifushi, is in the same atoll.
What is THE INDULGENCE Plan?
It is the only plan OZEN Life Maadhoo sells. It covers all meals at The Palms, dinners at Tradition Peking and Tradition IndoCeylon, one lunch at LONU and one meal at M6m, premium drinks including champagne, a minibar restocked daily, snorkelling boats twice a day, a sunset cruise and sunset fishing once each, and one spa or dive voucher per adult at four to five nights. The plan ends at 11:00 on departure day.
How many villas does OZEN Life Maadhoo have?
OZEN Life Maadhoo has 106 villas: Earth Villas on the beach and Wind Villas over the water, some with a private pool. This page prices seven: the Earth Villa and Earth Villa with Pool, the Wind Villa, Wind Villa with Jacuzzi and Slide and Wind Villa with Pool, the two-bedroom Earth Pool Pavilion and the one-bedroom Earth Pool Residence. THE OZEN RESIDENCE, which sleeps six, is not priced on this page. We can still book it.
What dining options are available at the resort?
The Palms serves all three meals. Tradition Peking serves Chinese dinners and Tradition IndoCeylon Indian and Sri Lankan, both closed on Fridays. Joie de Vivre is the poolside kitchen. All four are in the plan as often as you like. LONU and M6m, the underwater restaurant, give you one visit each on stays of four nights or more. Gin Is In is an adults-only gin bar. Dinner at Hudhu Bay Beach Club is always charged, though daytime access is free.
What is the ELE|NA spa?
ELE|NA is the spa at OZEN Life Maadhoo. The plan gives each adult vouchers to spend on either spa treatments or dives: one at four to five nights, two at six to eight, three at nine to twelve, four at 13 to 16, and five at 17 nights or more. The spa is for guests aged 16 and over. Unused vouchers are not refunded and cannot move between villas.
What water sports and diving facilities are available?
Snorkelling boats leave at 09:00 and 15:00 every day, as often as you like, and snorkel gear, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, canoes and paddleboards are in the price. The resort has a PADI dive centre. Diving comes out of the same vouchers as the spa, one per adult at four to five nights, so a dive means giving up a treatment. Divers must be 12 or over and certified, and equipment and courses are charged.
Is OZEN Life Maadhoo suitable for families?
Yes. The kids' club is open from 09:00 to 18:00 and is in the price. M6m takes guests 12 and over at dinner, so families go at lunch, and LONU is adults only apart from a Saturday family lunch. In-villa babysitting is charged. Prices here are for two, so children are added at the resort's standard rates, and the resort's Kids Go Free offer can be combined. Tell us the ages of anyone travelling and we will price it.
What fitness facilities does the resort offer?
OZENERGY, the gym at OZEN Life Maadhoo, is in the plan, as are the paddle tennis and pickleball courts. Personal training is charged. Non-motorised water sports are included too. Classes change through the week, so ask us for the timetable on your dates if you want to plan around them.
What is the house reef like?
There is no reef off the beach or the villas at OZEN Life Maadhoo. The resort runs free snorkelling boats to nearby reefs at 09:00 and 15:00 every day, and those reefs are decent without being remarkable. The seagrass around the Earth Villas and under the boardwalk holds more fish than most guests expect. If you want to snorkel straight from your steps, look at OZEN Reserve Bolifushi.
