Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

The Resort – An all-inclusive, adults-only oasis

Set on the idyllic island of Kooddoo, this is Mercure – but not as you know it.

At Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort, you can expect a visual feast, with some of the most spectacular reefs in the world hidden beneath the turquoise waters. This oasis is the first property in the Maldives launched by the world-renowned Accor brand, meaning you can expect the quintessential service and luxury afforded by the Accor name. Dubbed ‘The World’s Best Mercure’, the resort brings wonder and delight to honeymooners and dreamers alike.

Tantalise the tastebuds with dining across two indulgent venues, pamper yourself at the Suvadiva Spa and make the tough decision between the resort’s infinity pool or the sparkling Indian Ocean. Balance relaxation on the pristine beachfront with unforgettable snorkelling through shallow reef walls, discovering breathtaking marine life, from eagle rays to reef sharks and sea turtles. Feeling adventurous? The resort can help you organise activities such as boat trips to nearby islands (additional charges apply).

Your Handpicked Inclusions – All-inclusive dining, unlimited free-flow drinks, roundtrip domestic flight transfers and more

Getting to paradise is easy – your package includes roundtrip domestic flights between Malé and Kooddoo, with a short, scenic flight taking you over picturesque islands and the azure lagoon to the privacy of the resort. Relax the moment you touch down in paradise at the Moonimaa Lounge in Malé Airport (MLE), where you can wait for your connecting flight in comfort.

Live the Maldives dream with all-inclusive dining. Start each day with a delicious breakfast at Alita restaurant, where you’ll enjoy your choice of healthy options, freshly baked pastries and pancakes, smoothies, eggs cooked to order and more. Find mouthwatering fresh seafood, a selection of international flavours and pan-Asian cuisine to satisfy even the most discerning palate at Alita, where you’ll be treated to daily gourmet lunch and dinner. You can also enjoy lunch or dinner at Vista, the resort’s Italian restaurant, where handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas and delectable desserts are served against the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean. Plus, throughout the day, treat yourself to snacks and savoury bites whenever the mood strikes.

No matter where you are, the drinks are free-flowing. From house wines to ice-cold beers and signature cocktails, spirits to bottled juices, barista coffee and specialty teas – sit back and unwind with your pick from a select menu. If you’d rather stay in, enjoy an array of beers, chocolates, snacks and soft drinks from your in-villa minibar.

Make unforgettable memories with a choice of resort activities, designed to immerse you in the beauty of the surroundings. Choose between snorkelling around coral reefs, paddleboarding or kayaking through crystal-clear waters, discount towards the resort’s Discover Scuba Dive program and many more.

Longer Stay Bonus: Extend your booking to seven or more nights to enjoy a scenic sunset cruise, guided reef snorkelling trip, complimentary 30 extra minutes on any booked massage and 20% discount on any private dining experience.
