Riu Palace<\/h1>\r\n

A sleek, stylish adults-friendly all-inclusive resort with elevated dining and stunning overwater villas.<\/h5>\r\n

Riu Palace brings a refined, modern feel to Dhaalu Atoll, ideal for couples, friends and honeymooners seeking a little more luxury while still enjoying the simplicity of an all-inclusive stay.<\/p>\r\n

The resort shares facilities with neighbouring Riu Atoll, yet offers exclusive dining, premium drinks and quieter ambience, giving guests the best of both worlds \u2014 ocean freedom and elegant comfort.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”16453″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

Why do we love Riu Palace ?<\/h2>\r\nWe love Riu Palace because it manages to feel premium and peaceful without losing the joy and richness of an all-inclusive escape. The lagoon surrounding the resort is calm and brilliantly blue, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding and long sunset dips from your villa ladder.\r\n\r\nPremium dining access \u2014 including Japanese, fusion and steakhouse restaurants \u2014 elevates the experience, while bars around the resort keep the atmosphere vibrant and relaxed. Rooms are contemporary, some with private pools or direct lagoon entry, and service is warm yet unobtrusive. Guests can enjoy entertainment and social energy when they wish, or retreat to quieter corners for romance and stillness. It\u2019s stylish, stress-free Maldives \u2014 indulgent, balanced and wonderfully easy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_meta_color=”false” padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1771930828951{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]\r\n

What can I look forward to?<\/h2>\r\n

Experiences<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Riu Palace, days naturally gravitate toward the ocean. Snorkel along the house reef or join boat excursions for turtles, rays and colourful reefs nearby. Watersports include stand-up paddling, kayaking, windsurfing and catamaran sailing, while divers can explore deeper sites with professional instructors.
\r\n
\r\nGuests also have access to entertainment, live music and pools at both resorts, yet Palace maintains more tranquillity for those who enjoy quieter luxury. Spa rituals blend Balinese, Ayurvedic and aromatherapy techniques for deep relaxation, and sunset views along the lagoon are a nightly highlight \u2014 best enjoyed with a cocktail and warm sea breeze.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
