The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort
A Baa Atoll island with a spiral overwater restaurant and a biosphere reserve around it.
Miriandhoo lies in Baa Atoll, inside the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, reached by seaplane or domestic flight and speedboat. One resort occupies the island, which is small and round with a lagoon on one side. Hanifaru Bay's manta season is within reach by the resort's boats.
Around seventy villas, beach and overwater, make up the property. Its signature is architectural: the main restaurant is a spiral shell of timber and glass standing over the lagoon, designed as the island's single strong gesture. The wellness programme follows the group's standard model rather than being built for the site.
One building carries the design. The spiral restaurant does the architectural work; the rest of the property is conventional, and the register says so.
Biosphere reserve on the doorstep. Baa's protected status governs the water here as it does for Soneva Fushi and Voavah nearby.
Who it is not for
Miriandhoo is wrong for guests seeking a distinctive property throughout, since one building carries the identity. It is wrong for travellers wanting a small island at seventy villas. And it is wrong for those who want an independent house rather than a chain standard. And it is wrong for guests who want an unusual room rather than an unusual restaurant. Those wanting Baa Atoll with more character throughout should look at Milaidhoo or Soneva Fushi.
