Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

Extraordinarily Fantastic Experience

Amazing service. I have food allergies which were taken care of with great attention. They even managed to get the vegan cheese that I prefer. Kudos to Chef Min, Chef Chetan, Amol who served us so well and the whole team for making it a very comfortable environment. This resort has plenty of things to keep you busy. The yoga sessions, recreational activities and spa were just the cherry on top!

Wonderful

My husband and I stayed at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort for our honeymoon and to celebrate his upcoming birthday, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The resort is absolutely beautiful, and our villa was modern, spacious, and incredibly comfortable (especially the bed). What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was the people. Every member of the staff we met was genuinely warm, kind, attentive, and supportive. Their sincere hospitality made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived until the day we departed, and they played a huge part in making our honeymoon so memorable. We left with wonderful memories and have already recommended The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort to our friends and family. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Worth choosing the resort for. One or two caveats on entry point or current.

This score comes from our own records and has not yet been through the full review, so we have not written it up. Ask us and we will tell you what we know about this reef.

Getting there

Route Seaplane
Journey 30 min, airport to island
Last arrival that works 15:00

Land at Velana after 15:00 and the last transfer of the day will have gone, which means a night in Malé before you reach the island.

There is a second way in. Domestic flight to Dharavandhoo + speedboat, about 55 min, for arrivals at Velana up to 16:20.

The Westin keeps its own lounge at the seaplane terminal and does resort check-in there. Flights are Trans Maldivian and timed to international arrivals, so the wait can run long.

Transfer details last checked August 2026. We re-check yours against your actual ticket before we quote. See what your flight can reach →

Miriandhoo — Where Renewal Begins

Sleep Above the Ocean

Wake to the sound of gentle waves beneath your villa floor. Our overwater sanctuaries hover above a turquoise lagoon, where the Indian Ocean stretches endlessly to the horizon. Step from your private pool deck directly into warm, crystalline waters — and let the world dissolve.

Dine at the Edge of the World

The Pearl, our overwater Japanese restaurant, serves elevated omakase-inspired cuisine as the sun melts into the sea. From barefoot Asian street food at Hawker to golden-hour cocktails at Sunset Bar — every meal at Miriandhoo is a moment to savour.

Swim with Mantas at Hanifaru Bay

Just 18 kilometres away lies Hanifaru Bay — one of the planet's most extraordinary marine spectacles. Join our AQUA Dive Center for a guided snorkel with manta rays and whale sharks in a UNESCO-protected feeding ground. A memory that will last a lifetime.

Renew, Body & Soul

The Heavenly Spa by Westin offers five treatment rooms — including a couple's suite with a Jacuzzi and panoramic ocean views. Begin each morning with sunrise yoga on the deck, and end it with a floating breakfast in your private pool. This is what renewal feels like.
