Description
Ataraxis Grand & Spa is a boutique hotel designed for divers, surfers, and anyone drawn to raw nature and stillness.
Hotel Ataraxis was born from a simple dream: to share the extraordinary beauty and unique character of Fuvahmulah with travelers seeking authentic experiences beyond the typical Maldivian resort.
Named after the ancient Greek concept of “ataraxia” — a state of serene calmness and freedom from worry — our hotel embodies the perfect balance between adventure and tranquility. Just as the ancient philosophers sought inner peace, we invite you to find yours in the heart of the world’s only single-island atoll.
Located just 33 kilometers from the equator, Fuvahmulah is unlike any other destination in the Maldives. Its volcanic origins have created a unique ecosystem recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, where tiger sharks patrol year-round, freshwater lakes mirror tropical skies, and authentic Maldivian culture thrives untouched by mass tourism.

Important information
Fees
Taxes & service charges: Stays in the Maldives are generally subject to a 10% service charge and Tourism Goods & Services Tax (TGST). For tourism-sector services such as accommodation and most extras, TGST is currently 17% following the nationwide increase effective in 2025. Unless clearly shown as inclusive or net, service charge and TGST are added to the final bill.
Green Tax: For guesthouses and smaller hotels on inhabited islands, the Maldives Green Tax is generally USD 6 per person per night for guests aged 2 years and above. Children under 2 years old are exempt. This charge is usually collected by the property and applies to each payable night of stay.
Optional extras
Transfers: For local-island stays, transfers are usually arranged by scheduled speedboat, public ferry or private speedboat on request. Exact timings and prices depend on your international flight, sea conditions and the island route, and are normally confirmed after booking.
Optional extras: Additional charges may apply for excursions, snorkeling or diving trips, fishing, sandbank visits, special meals, laundry, airport meet-and-greet, equipment rental, spa services where available, and other personalised services. Any service not clearly stated as included in your confirmed booking is normally payable as an extra.
