Nestled just 100 meters from the shoreline, the Pullman Maldives Maamutaa House Reef emerges as a breathtaking marine sanctuary, offering travelers an unprecedented opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the most vibrant underwater ecosystems in the Maldivian archipelago.
This extraordinary marine landscape teems with life, hosting an impressive biodiversity that includes green and hawksbill turtles, blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, and a kaleidoscope of marine species. The resort’s marine biologist emphasizes the reef’s unique accessibility, inviting guests to experience an underwater world typically reserved for advanced diving expeditions.
Visitors embark on their marine journey through a lush seagrass bed, a critical marine habitat that serves as a natural gateway to the reef’s dramatic drop-off. The pristine hard and soft coral formations stand as a testament to the atoll’s protective geography and robust ocean currents, creating an ideal environment for marine life to flourish.
