Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort, on the Gaafu Alifu Atoll has officially opened its two new Aqua Villas.

The Aqua Villas, at 1,216 square feet each, have two bedrooms - with one submerged beneath the turquoise waters, allowing guests to experience the island's vibrant marine life and endless coral reef. Guests can discover the magic of the ocean whilst enjoying the stylish comfort that Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort has to offer. The Aqua Villas are a rarity in the Maldives and Pullman is proud to be a leader in immersive travel for this destination.

The villas' design stands out, with the focus placed on marine life. Not only is there an aquarium as a bedroom - which provides an open view of the underwater life - but there is also a private infinity pool, a second bedroom looking out across the ocean, and a beautiful open-air bathroom.

The villas are in a prime position to watch the sunrise and are only a short walk away from Sol Rising - the resort's sunrise bar serving healthy breakfast and fresh juices. Complete with a large swimming pool, also facing east, it is the perfect location to relax in the early hours.

Pullman is a great believer in balancing work and play, and over at Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort, there is so much more than just sitting back, sleeping and taking a selfie. The Aqua Villa Experience nurtures childhood curiosities and brings them to life. It is the perfect balance of both play and rejuvenation and these moments are something to share with the world. The villas offer the chance to enjoy the serenity of diving, without the need for a tank.

Book a night. Or three. Or five. Be one of the few people in the world to have a favourite underwater bedroom. The Aqua Villa Experience by Pullman Maldives Maamutaa Resort brings the underwater to life in more ways than one and, with the resort's generous all-inclusive offering, this might be more possible than one might believe.
