Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Becomes the First Ultra All-Inclusive Mercure Island Resort Worldwide

2 November, 2021

The appeal of all-inclusive resorts in Maldives is a simple one: They’re set in privaye islands and not require very little planning.

Mercure, the midscale brand of Accor, has rolled out an ultra-all-inclusive concept in the Maldives. Mercure Maldives Kooddoo has launched its distinctive new concept on 1st November 2021, with guests invited to indulge in a generous array of dining and beverage offerings at no additional charge, as well as a selected collection of complimentary excursions.

Situated on the lush Kooddoo Island within the southern Gaafu Alifu Atoll, the 70-villa boutique-style resort is inspired by the lively energy of the Maldives. On land, villas are nestled beneath swaying palm trees alongside golden beaches, whilst guests seeking unparalleled views over endless horizons can discover the collection of overwater villas. Visitors to this tropical paradise are treated to an endless array of activities such as diving, jet-skiing and paddleboarding, as well as indulgent spa treatments and creative dining concepts.

With the introduction of this all-inclusive concept, guests will be completely spoiled for choice and enjoy peace of mind without additional charges. The benefits include unlimited beverages throughout the stay with 40 international wines on offer, as well as daily buckets of beers – which will be refilled once per day. Guests will also be invited to personalize their minibar upon check-in, based on their preferences.

The resort offers tailored culinary experiences for guests to discover endless spirited flavours. From selecting pizza toppings or favourite pasta dishes at the Italian restaurant to pairing with flavourful wines, personalisation is a key highlight of the all-inclusive offerings. Guests can also enjoy a wide variety of international flavours at Alita, the all-day dining restaurant with unobstructed views of the lagoon. As part of Mercure’s Discover Local concept, guests can experience authentic Maldivian flavours on Fridays as well as daily afternoon tea.

The longer guests stay, the more benefits they can avail. Those who stay from five to seven nights can pick one excursion and one activity during their stay, whereas guests staying for eight days or more will be able to choose two. Excursions include sunset fishing, a dolphin cruise or guided snorkeling along the house reef.

Among activities, guests can choose to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment at the resort’s Suvadiva Spa, experience the adrenaline rush during jet skiing, or head into the hidden depths of the ocean with the resort’s five-star PADI Dive Centre to explore the Indian Ocean’s marine life.

The resort is directly accessible via a domestic flight transfer with no extra waiting time for speedboats and seaplanes.
