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.
