We review InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort – billionaire Ong Beng Seng’s new luxury hotel

Crystal clear waters, powdery white sand beaches and a spa featuring traditional Chinese medicine treatments, this ultra-luxurious resort is also family- and eco-friendly

Located on the southernmost tip of Raa Atoll, the resort is around a 40-minute ride by seaplane from Malé International Airport. Arriving at the resort, we were greeted by a pleasant traditional Maldivian bodu beru (big drum) performance.

Each villa is allocated a curator – a role evolved from butler – who oversees the checking-in process after chauffeuring us to the villa. Ahead of the trip, the curator had learned about any food allergies or preferences for a more personalised stay.

Singapore-based design studio Eco-ID created the 81 overwater lagoon and beach villa types.
