Additionally, this resort is much closer to Male than most others!
Sheraton North Male Atoll Resort & Spa is situated on Furanafushi island and only requires 15-minute speedboat rides from Velana International Airport if arriving from West Coast of US.
Sheraton offers 176 rooms across its property, from rooms on-island featuring garden or beach views to overwater bungalows with private pools. All the rooms boast an upscale beach house atmosphere with great amenities like free bottled water and coffee/tea makers – not to mention your own balcony or patio for relaxation!
Sheraton Maldives room rates can fluctuate widely based on season and booking type. High season rates often skyrocket compared with low season; overwater bungalows may cost several times as much as on-island rooms. Luckily, this property belongs to Marriott Bonvoy so booking points at reasonable rates is simple.
After clearing Maldivian Customs and Immigration, head outside to find Sheraton representatives – they should be easy to spot by waving their signs in the air! Once found, they will help guide your speedboat transfer directly to the resort – an appealing change from other resorts where such transfers must be paid separately for.

There’s also a trip out to an expansive reef to marvel at Maldives underwater beauty.
The Sheraton Maldives offers a wonderful family hotel experience thanks to its dedicated activities team. Kids aged four to twelve can engage with local culture through lessons and beach games while making new friends through scavenger hunts and other fun activities.

Hotel guests can explore its private island via bridge from the mainland, and choose an active or relaxing experience through day excursions, watersports at the lagoon and destination dining experiences. Shine Spa for Sheraton located on this private island offers an extensive treatment menu featuring locally sourced ingredients for a truly nourishing and memorable spa experience.
Rooms can be found along the beach and over water in a crystal clear lagoon – many boasting stunning ocean or island views. Cottages and villas provide fantastic family-friendly options with interconnecting rooms; overwater bungalows can be an excellent way to spend more on their stay and experience true Maldivian hospitality.
The rooms themselves were elegantly designed with a modern beach house vibe and include numerous standout features in every category of accommodations – from an exquisite decor and Veuve Clicquot-stocked mini bar, deep bathtub and open air shower, to open air shower and beautiful decor – that make each feel luxurious without being excessively lavish. One of my favorite aspects was staff service who were warm, friendly and welcoming without being intrusive or pushy.
This property is ideal for those who wish to unwind in the tropical splendor, while still exploring all that Maldives has to offer. I found the property to be fantastic value; easily one of my top five hotels in Maldives! Marriott Bonvoy members will find redemption starting at 41,000 Starpoints per night!
