Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa
Things to know
before you go
This is one of the easiest Maldives private-island resorts to reach, with a short speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport.
The convenience comes with a tradeoff:some guests consider it less remote or less exclusive than far-flung seaplane resorts.
The resort has a broad room mix, from standard rooms and cottages to overwater villas, so the experience can vary significantly by category.
It is a strong fit for shorter Maldives stays, families, Marriott loyalists, and travelers who want to avoid long transfer logistics.
Hidden tips
Use this resort strategically for a first or last Maldives night if your flight schedule makes a distant atoll transfer inconvenient.
Review meal-plan inclusions carefully because dining costs can materially affect total value.
Things guests wish they had known
The resort is close enough to Malé that it feels more convenient but less remote than many Maldives resorts.
It may be especially practical for short stays or transit-sensitive itineraries.
Overwater and premium categories can feel materially different from entry-level room types.
Strengths from our research
Very convenient 15-minute speedboat transfer from MLE.
Private-island setting with beach, spa, water sports, and multiple dining venues.
Marriott Bonvoy participation adds value for points travelers.
Recurring guest praise for service, grounds, and overall ease.
Other considerations from our research
Less remote-feeling than resorts reached by seaplane or domestic flight.
Some guests mention airport proximity or aircraft activity as a drawback.
Dining value depends heavily on package choice.
Not the strongest choice for travelers seeking a highly secluded honeymoon-only atmosphere.

Families & group stays
Bringing the kids to Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa
What decides whether a resort works with children in tow, answered from what the resort publishes rather than from the brochure.
- Kids' club
- Program listed
- Supervision & drop-off
- Confirm rules and current hours before booking
- Babysitting
- Available at extra cost
- Rooms that fit a family
- 3 categories, incl. Island Cottage, Beachfront Cottage
- Can a family of 5 stay in one room at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa?
- Not in a single standard room: the largest stated occupancy at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is 4. Families of five or more need two rooms.
- Does Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa have a kids' club, and from what age?
- Yes. Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa lists a kids' club. Supplier sheet separates free Kids Club from paid babysitting. Page 2 says ages four to BELOW 12; page 3 says 4–12. These upper-age limits conflict; confirm whether a child aged 12 is admitted. Child dining benefit is buffet/kids’ menu with parents, not any menu or private care. Confirm supervision, drop-off rules and current hours before booking.
Taking a group
Small private island (Furanafushi) 15 minutes from Male; evenings center on beach bars and family programming
