About Summer Island Maldives

Summer Island Maldives sits on Ziyaaraifushi in North Malé Atoll and is reached by a 45-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport, with WiFi provided on board, or by a 15-minute seaplane hop. The resort offers 156 accommodations across seven categories, including 20 Water Villas, 16 Premium Beach Villas, 30 Superior Vista rooms, 30 Superior Beach rooms, 52 Superior Bungalows, seven Garden Rooms and a two-storey Summer House suite. Dining is structured around a main restaurant and two additional outlets, with meal plans running from Bed and Breakfast through Half Board, Full Board and All Inclusive. A PADI-certified Diverland centre operates on site, running four daily snorkelling trips to nearby reefs, dive courses, manta ray snorkels and night dives, and the surrounding lagoon supports surfing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing and kayaking. Additional facilities include an infinity pool, 24-hour fitness centre and a spa. With its proximity to the airport, inventory that spans entry-level garden rooms through to overwater and family categories, and a broad watersports programme, Summer Island works well as a value-conscious option for families and first-time Maldives travellers. Its differentiators are the short transfer options, the variety of room categories on a single island and the active dive and watersports operation.
