Rooms
Sheraton Resort Maldives Full Moon offers an unforgettable island-hopping experience on North Male Atoll with its striking emerald lagoons, white sand beaches and swaying palm trees. Situated only 20 minutes by boat ride from Male Airport, this upscale hotel boasts 176 rooms along with an oceanside spa, contemporary fitness center/tennis court combo, dive center/kids’ club/pool combo plus multiple bars/restaurants – truly an idyllic escape for travelers looking for relaxation!
Guest can select from beach villas, overwater bungalows or water suites equipped with Sheraton Sleep Experience bedding and amenities as well as flat-screen TV, work desk and spacious bathroom featuring separate bathtub and shower stall. Furthermore, complimentary WiFi is provided along with coffee/tea maker and mini-fridge.
Overwater bungalows provide direct access to the water, making them ideal for couples seeking seclusion. Each features its own terrace and plunge pool where they can soak up some sunshine; additionally, an open air bathroom allows showering or bathing among tropical flowers.
Sheraton Resort Maldives’ beach villas provide great value. These units boast their own private beach with lounge chairs for relaxation. Furthermore, snorkeling can take place directly in front of each room – similar to its overwater bungalow counterparts.
Marriott Bonvoy members will find this resort one of the more accessible Maldives resorts on points, starting with room rates starting around $200 USD during low season; prices vary according to season and overwater bungalows may cost significantly more.
One of the main attractions of this property is its convenient 15-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport, making it a good choice for arriving late at night when seaplane transfers don’t operate – though you might hear noise from nearby seaplanes during your stay that might prove distracting.
This historic resort in Maldives has recently been renovated to offer modern luxury, with friendly and helpful staff and many ways to relax and unwind available throughout its property.
Dining
Maldives is not known for its nightlife; therefore it is wise to choose a resort that includes dining options in its room rate such as Sheraton.
Sheraton Resort Maldives features several dining venues. Its main pool area sprawls into the lagoon and features a gushing waterfall on one side and a kiddie pool on the other; perfect for soaking up some sunshine or cooling off after some time in the water. A large paved deck with plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and shaded tables completes this picture of paradise.
The Feast Restaurant provides guests with breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual resort-style environment. Offering an eclectic variety of international-themed dinners as well as live cooking stations that allow chefs to interact with guests and display their talent, the Feast serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily for convenient resort staycations.
Sea Salt offers another dining option at the northern end of the island, close to its beachfront. This breezy open-air hut serves salads, sandwiches, pizza, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Maldivian fare; as well as barbecued fish and meat cooked over dramatic lava stones or charcoal grills with breathtaking ocean views as its backdrop.
For those preferring cocktails rather than dining out, two great venues for this are Drifters and Anchorage Bar near the lobby area, and Kakuni Hut on the beach. Both offer relaxing environments where you can linger day or night for drinks with views over turquoise lagoon water.
Opting for either an Ocean Pool Villa or Water Suite grants access to the hotel’s exclusive club, where happy hours, mixers, extra pool time and more will all be offered. Your large back patio includes a private stone whirlpool surrounded by verdant landscaping and featuring a relaxing hammock; plus all rooms offer direct access to the water from their private patios!
Activities
Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa boasts many advantages; it’s close to both capital city Male and international airport by speedboat, with 176 guest rooms that include beach cottages, villas and overwater suites for an authentic village-like atmosphere. There are seven unique restaurants and bars, Shine Spa for Sheraton as well as lagoon-style pool. Ideal for couples as well as families with kids of various ages!
Guest can choose from an array of shared excursions designed to take full advantage of the area’s reefs and beaches, including Sunset Dolphin Cruises, Snorkel Safaris, Local Island Tours and Fishing adventures – Snappers Groupers Emperors Trevallies (SGET).
Sheraton offers an exciting family program called Side by Side that features fun and engaging activities to bring multigenerational groups together and foster bonding during leisure travel. The aim is for guests to reclaim their time and focus on what matters most during vacation and back at home, respectively.
Once you clear customs and immigration, a Sheraton representative will greet you at Maldivian airport once customs have been cleared. Look out for them or ask someone from another resort if they know where they can find one; once located they can tell when your resort boat departs as well as assist with luggage storage.
Sheraton Maldives doesn’t feature its own house reef, so to experience its iconic underwater world, excursions must be booked. Various snorkeling trips are offered both near overwater villas and out in the lagoon at one side of the island; additionally there’s also a guided kayak tour that visits an adjacent reef where guests can learn more about sea life and wildlife.
Amenities
Maldives is an idyllic vacation spot. Its crystal-clear waters, tropical temperatures, picture-perfect beaches and remote location all draw in tourists from all around the globe – but its price tag may put off many travelers, with roundtrip airfare from the U.S. often exceeding $2,500 during high season travel season. Staying at Sheraton Resort Maldives Full Moon provides travelers with an opportunity to experience all that this stunning country has to offer without breaking their budgets.

For example, their Two-Bedroom Water Suite sleeps four comfortably while providing an expansive layout complete with large lap pool and hammock set amidst lush garden!
Every room at The Reef features its own private balcony or patio with stunning ocean views, along with flat-screen TV, minibar (stocked with some complimentary items), and spacious bathroom featuring tub and separate shower. Our complimentary wired and wireless Internet access keeps you connected, and satellite programming provides entertainment. In-room service is also available 24/7.
