Effortless Access to Maldivian Paradise

The Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort enjoys a unique distinction in the Maldivian hospitality landscape—it's the only resort with its own airport on the island. Located on Kooddoo Island in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, one of the largest and deepest atolls in the world, the resort offers unprecedented convenience for travelers.

" The resort's location provides the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. Unlike other resorts requiring seaplane transfers, reaching Mercure Kooddoo involves just a 55-minute domestic flight from Malé followed by a brief 5-minute speedboat ride. "
