Accor has launched a credit offer for travellers looking to escape to the Maldives.
Guests staying at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi and Mövenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives can now benefit from a resort credit worth 40 per cent of the room rate, which can be redeemed on dining, spa, and other experiences.
Plus, Members of ALL – Accor Live Limitless who register and book the offer before December 15 and stay by March 31, 2021 will be entered into a lucky draw contest to win 40,000 reward points.
“After a long year of travel restrictions, the Maldives presents a very unique offering for those looking to escape for a well-deserved island holiday. Thanks to the natural isolation of this stunning region and mandatory testing for all travellers prior to arrival, this is one of the best destinations for anybody looking to truly relax and recuperate in the sun,” Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer of Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and the Maldives, said.
“We are so pleased to be welcoming travellers back to our resorts and delighted we can offer this special credit to allow our guests to indulge in the unique experiences available at our resorts.”
Raffles Maldives Meradhoo
Raffles Maldives Meradhoo is a hidden gem on the pristine Gaafu Alifu Atoll.
A palm tree-peppered private island comprising of only 21 villas and residences, a sublime spa, beachside restaurants and world-class dive centre with an on-site marine biologist is complimented by the Overwater Island experience, located a few short minutes away by boat, which offers a collection of vast overwater villas and residences, sophisticated Nikkei restaurant Yuzu and sunset-facing Yapa pool bar.
Together these two private islands offer two distinct experiences, bound together by Raffles’ legendary service.
A Marine Butler is available for those eager to explore the colourful underwater world of the resort’s two remarkable house reefs.
With the resort credit, guests can embark on an exciting culinary adventure at the five restaurants and bars or a rejuvenating journey at the overwater Raffles Spa.

Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi
Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi is the only resort situated on the Shaviyani Atoll, one of the country’s largest resort lagoons. The nine kilometre-long house reef is home to vibrant corals and a thriving ecosystem.
Sirru Fen Fushi, which means ‘secret water island’ in the local Dhivehi language, is set on an exceptionally lush island bursting with flora and fauna. The picturesque locale is also surrounded by powder white sand beaches, peppered with thatched-roofed villas overlooking an endless turquoise sea.
The resort features 120 locally inspired design Beach Villas, Water Villas, and Tented Jungle Villas.
