Less than a one hour seaplane flight from Malé, up to the Maldives’ uncharted northern edge, beckons an island of exceptional beauty. Over 17 acres of palm-edged, pristine sand houses Viceroy Maldives, where only 61 villas encircle a lagoon of startling blue. Viceroy's famous service enriches the resort's soaring interiors and elemental lounge areas. Five diverse dining venues, including the Treehouse (which blends East African and Middle Eastern cuisines), offer everything from casual beachside cuisine to elegant fare while incorporating Asian and European influences. Treatments and yoga at the Ayurvedic spa are balanced by the island's wealth of outdoor activities accessible from the Dive & Watersports Center. Here, at Viceroy Maldives, seclusion and rejuvenation are realized within a world of total luxury. The award winning interior design firm Yabu Pushelberg created the interiors of Viceroy Maldives by drawing inspiration from the islands’ natural beauty and culture, utilizing only the necessary elements in order to avoid competition with the unsurpassed location. Using naturally rustic materials and patterns in a modern way allows the resort to exude sophistication without feeling ostentatious.

Vista

From sunrise through to the day’s end, guests can soak up the view of the pool and lagoon while enjoying a relaxed dining experience. Every day begins with an abundance of choices for breakfast, providing guests with both Western and Asian selections. The fresh juice bar, morning pastries and a variety of sliced cold cuts and meat allow for a continental-style meal. For those looking for a healthier option, there is an extensive selection and an array of healthy Asian breakfast options.

For dinner, flavors of the East and West are prepared and presented in a contemporary style, whilst preserving the authentic flavors of each origin. Weekly theme nights will feature Indian, Thai, and Seafood menus. Chefs also take advantage of seasonal offerings.


Cerchio

Poised above Vista, our signature restaurant, Cerchio, is ideal for those looking for a quiet evening to celebrate a special occasion or a romantic candle-lit dinner. Food prepared is a modern interpretation of fine Italian cuisine inspired by the authentic flavors of home style cooking and enhanced by a fine selection of Italian and international wines. The chefs will create menus based on seasonally available produce and local seafood, offering a selection of “themed menus” throughout the year, focusing on individual culinary delights.


AOC – Wine Cellar

At the Wine Cellar, guests can find a wide spectrum of wines to accommodate taste, price, and occasion. The wine list focuses around both the culinary selection as well as the genealogical journey of discovery. The selection of wine ranges from the finest estates of France and Italy to new world wine regions, with an extensive collection of Magnums.


Anguru

For those who can't bear to leave the water's edge, the Pool Bar & Grill provides ample choice for daytime dining. Out on the comfort of a chaise lounge by the pool deck or at the pool bar, sunbathers and loungers can choose a cooling respite or order a lunchtime repast and specialty cocktail. It's the perfect dining location for al-fresco lunches by the pool with family and friends.


Treehouse

The Treehouse has an ideal location at the island’s southernmost tip; generous cushions and loungers are artfully placed to allow guests to choose an intimate or livelier setting. While some will sip drinks before dinner during the drama of a Maldives sunset, others may choose to climb up for a more scenic seating overlooking the lagoon for an unparalleled view of the starry sky. The Treehouse is the perfect spot for pre and post dinner drinks, smoking a shisha, and savoring some sweet delights.


Vai

The Spa Café offers an organic and fresh approach to spa cuisine. Accommodating guests who have chosen to indulge in the holistic, regenerating benefits of extensive spa therapies, Vai focuses on healthy cuisine, providing optimal nutrition and incorporating flavors of the sub-continent and the west. A collection of homemade mueslis and cereals are accompanied by soy and rice milks, low-fat natural yogurts, and a wide variety of tropical fruits. Fresh juices, including home-grown wheatgrass juice ensure that spa guests start the day in a cleansing and detoxifying way.

Resort Activities

Maldives is known internationally as one of the world’s best dive destinations. The full allure of Viceroy Maldives exists both under and upon its waters - the sea and air are alive with adventure, and the key to accessing them lies in the expansive Dive and Watersports Center. A range of water sports, both motorized and non-motorized sports are available. Guests can arrange fishing trips out in the deep sea, at sunset or out at a deserted island, or embrace the adrenaline rush of windsurfing, waterskiing, kayaking, catamaran sailing, wake boarding and deep sea fishing.


Dive Center

More of the Maldives is underwater than above. The country has thousands of reefs and over 1,000 different species of reef fish that inhabit them. There are hundreds of species of soft and hard coral that adorn the reefs. The advantage of diving in the Shaviyani Atoll is that it’s relatively unknown and the sites remain unexplored (to most extent) by tourists due to the remoteness of the resort. There are numerous dive sites, each with its own unique characteristics and points of interest. Explore the vibrant reefs and encounter manta rays, Napoleon wrasses, turtles, sweetlips, tuna and many other underwater inhabitants.


Water Sports Center

The Water Sports Center is located near the Dive Center at the main jetty. The following activities are available: mono skiing, kayaking, catamaran sailing, wakeboarding, fun tube rides, water skiing, deep sea fishing, and windsurfing. Private lessons on Water Skiing & Windsurfing for beginners are also available. A boat rental service is available should you wish to visit other resort islands. Line fishing and big game fishing trips are on offer.


Fitness & Yoga

For active guests, the fitness studio has state-of-the-art TechnoGym equipment and provides the opportunity for guests to stretch, revitalize and energize in the extensive gym and fitness room with the latest in cardio and strength equipment. For those who prefer introspective exercise, an array of yoga lessons is offered daily, with both private and group instruction available. Every morning, early risers are invited to join the complimentary yoga class, in the Yoga Pavilion, where you can start the day by greeting the sunrise.


Spa

Designed to allow each guest to reconnect to their Essential Self - free of stress, worry, imbalances and toxins. The Spa at Viceroy Maldives creates a space for stillness, being, wisdom, peace, bliss and embracing the sacred. The Spa consists of 7 private suites built over the ocean.

  • Five of the multi-purpose suites are self-contained worlds designed with private changing areas, steam showers, private deck views and two hydraulic treatment tables to accomplish any treatment desired by the guest.
  • Embracing the power and presence of water, one of the multi-purpose suites features a beautiful soaking tub between the two hydraulic treatment tables which is the perfect way for a couple to begin or end their spa journey together.
  • There is one private suite for nail and hair styling for those special evenings and nights.
  • For a more intimate and private haven, the exclusive Spa couples suite contains a private wet chamber complete with Vichy shower, a plunge pool for two and living area to unwind and relax pre and post treatments.
