This was our second visit to Meedhupparu, and it was just as wonderful as the first time...and we will be going again, which is the acid test.

We want to thank Niyaz at the Water Villas for looking after us so well, and especially Rumesh and his colleagues at the Sunset Bar, who made us feel so welcome every night; Kumara, Pathum, Aalif, Hanaan and, of course, the lady cockatiel who acted as 'meeter and greeter'. See you all again soon. Tony & Sue.

This was our second visit and won't be our last. We have stayed in a lot hotels all over the world and this is a very special place to us.
It is difficult to find any fault with any aspect of our stay. The island is idyllic for an extremely chilled out holiday but there are a variety of watersports available (some free), tennis and badminton and a newly refurbished gym if you decide to get off your sunbed. Amazing snorkelling to see a variety of sealife including small sharks (harmless!), rays, angel fish and a brief sight of a school of dolphins.
The Deluxe room has everything you could need with indoor and outdoor shower. We had a couple of minor issues with our room (a wobbly toilet seat - probably the result of eating too much!) and a loss of electricity. Within minutes of reporting these, they were attended to and fixed.
The bed was very comfortable.
The whole hotel is kept immaculately with constant cleaning and leaves being swept.
There is an excellent choice of food every day with a different theme each evening.
The main thing for us is the superb staff. Everyone is so friendly and happy.
We must give a special mention to Mickie, our waiter extraordinaire who made us feel very special - we miss you Mickie!, Ali our lovely cleaner. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The ever smiling Sayona who greeted us at mealtimes and finally the incredible chef Gayan who arranged a special meal for one of us each day due to a specific food intolerance. Such a lovely human being. Thank you Gayan!
It would be difficult to beat the experience we have had on both visits.
See you next year we hope.

We enjoyed the various cuisine prepared at the different restaurants, our favourite being Sufura and Tawa.
The only negative experience we had was the smoke inhalation from other guests seated close to us at Tawa and pool areas. Separate smoking areas should be provided to avoid unnecessary health issues, as passive smoking is harmful to others especially people with comorbidities and children.

Wow, just wow. We’ve just returned from our 3rd visit to our beautiful place, and it just gets better and better.
We’ve been in May on our previous visits, and the weather is ideal then and in November into December.

Wow, just wow. We’ve just returned from our 3rd visit to our beautiful place, and it just gets better and better.
We’ve been in May on our previous visits, and the weather is ideal then and in November into December.
The island island is just a dream, soft white sand, the crystal clear ocean, the abundance of sea life is just jaw dropping (probably better in November than May)
The staff, as always are an absolute pleasure to meet. Special thanks to Mickey in the main restaurant who is an absolute legend and made each visit special, but made our last night feel a different kind of special, to Gayan the head chef who cooked something different every night for one of our friends who has an allergy and last but by no means least, Alif in the sunset bar who is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff to be fair.
We requested a specific room for our stay and got exactly what we asked for.
If you are looking for a beautiful place that will draw you back again and again, then please add Meedhupparu to your wish list, you won’t be disappointed, and if you’re going from May 9th 2025, we hope to see you there. If you’re going before, then enjoy as we always do.

Myself and my partner recently visited this beautiful island resort. We were welcomed off the seaplane from our resort manager and our butler Clovie, Clovie took us to our prestigious water villa where we were going to be staying for 10 nights, starting on the 29th of November. The resort is stunning !! It is immaculately clean and the groundsmen work tirelessly to keep the resort in perfect condition. Our butler Clovie was very helpful in everything we wanted to know and book, she worked around the clock to make sure our stay was as smooth and stress free as possible.
Must give the restaurants a huge mention as the food and hospitality was second to none!! Never have I ate at any resort at this quality of fabulous fine dining cuisine. Another big mention must be sent to Inu, she was faultless in everything she did for us at the water villa restaurant.
I really do hope to visit this beautiful resort again in the "not so distant" future.
