Baa Atoll Holidays

From arrival to departure, staying at this resort was an unforgettable experience. Since we booked it for our honeymoon, we were delighted to receive cake and champagne as a special treat, thanks to Noble. The massages at spa center were exceptional, the food was extraordinary, and the marine life right in front of our villa was mesmerizing. Snorkeling equipment is provided, so there's no need to bring your own. We encountered a variety of fish, turtles, crabs, and more, all swimming around us. There was so much to see and explore that we couldn’t cover it all in our 10-day stay, so we definitely plan to return. In addition to the mentioned amenities, we had specific preferences for bed mattresses and pillow firmness, and everything here exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to Noble, who managed everything seamlessly, sent regular updates, and assisted with whatever we needed. Remon, responsible for cleaning our room, ensured the mini bar and snacks were always stocked and created beautiful leaf drawings on our bed, brightening our day. Nirval at Raabondhi restaurant is a model waiter, friendly, talkative, and attentive, always with a smile. Kishore at the main restaurant is outstanding; we always aimed to sit at his tables. He welcomed us warmly, remembered our previous orders, and ensured everything was timely. Anyone fortunate enough to be served by these wonderful individuals will have a paradise vacation.

I had an amazing stay at Royal Island Resort in the Maldives! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. A special thank’s to Noble, Abdullah, Afrah, and Mithila — each one of them went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. They were kind, professional, and always made sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The resort itself is stunning, but it’s the staff that truly made the difference. I highly recommend Royal Island Resort to anyone looking for a luxurious and personalized Maldivian getaway. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Me and daughter had the absolute best time at Royal Island! I stayed in a beautiful Beach Villa.I can confidently say this was one of the most spacious villas I’ve ever stayed in.The level of privacy was perfect, and I felt completely relaxed in my own little slice of paradise. The atmosphere at the resort is incredibly peaceful and tranquil, ideal if you’re looking to disconnect and unwind. Wating for you Royal & Nobel🇰🇿

It is a very nice hotel and a great value for money! They have everything you need. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Spa is good and beautiful. The food buffet is delicious and they have a la carte restaurant on the beach too. They have a kids club with different craft activities for kids. A lot of experiences and water sports activities may be arranged if needed. The reef is good: sharks, rays, many fishes. The staff is friendly. And I repeat it is all you can wish with a great price!

Good resort but unfortunately not even close to 5 stars… The hotel is good but nowhere near 5 stars. We've experienced both the buffet restaurant and the food in the bar at a different level in other resorts. And $7 for a Coke or $10 for an ice cream is unacceptable. When we visited, the hotel was overcrowded with people who didn't behave at the buffet (grabbing food with their fingers and putting it back) and on the beach. The amount of food that was dumped on plates and then thrown away was a disgrace. But the hotel isn't to blame for this type of clientele. For us, this clientele was a no-go. During our stay there were 70% Russian tourists and 30% from the rest of the world like Europe, China, Indonesia and so on. Some few villas don't have a beach behind them, which is a real shame. So find out about the location in advance. The activities you can book are extremely expensive, like jet skiing for around $250 an hour and others. Diving extremely expensive. And always keep in mind that on top of all prices there is a 26% extra charge (10% service, 16% tax)!!! We would also highly advise against the all-inclusive package, as it's usually not worth the extra charge. As a whole the price-performance ratio is OK. However, we prefer to pay a little more, then have real 5 stars and hopefully a different clientele.

Had a lovely stay at Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort. We were extremely well taken care of throughout our entire stay. The overwater pool villa is breathtaking. Dinner at Pearl restaurant was delicious! We also had the destination bbq dinner experience, which was truly special. The seafood option was especially good. Can’t wait to return!

Staying in Westin resort is absolutely the most fantastic thing in my life ever. Starting from pick up and drop off from MLE airport, Mr.Shannon& Mr. Santo are friendly and well organized the way heading to Westin resort. Arriving in Westin resort, staffs gave us warm welcome. Special thanks to Mr. George, showing us whole resort and introduces all facilities. Speaking the same language makes no boundary. Moreover, I had sunburn at the last day even we already check out the resort. George still takes me to medical room and gives me aloe to ease the pain. Really appreciated. During the stay, Chef Min shows us great hospitality. Making tasty cuisine everyday Tandoori lamb, chili crab, cream seafood pie, satay…too many to mention. Mr.Anupum and Ms. Sally take good care of us in island kitchen every time we come. Mr.Ahlam accompany us on the last day, thanks to all of you enrich ours journey in Westin resort. In sum up, every staff in the resort is absolutely amazing, friending and willing to help. And the environment, the atmosphere make us feel so relaxed, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and find the inner peace. Will definitely recommend to all of my friends to visit Westin resort.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Westin Maldives with my wife and our young son. We stayed in a beautiful beach room — it was large, very comfortable, and just steps away from the stunning ocean. The beach was perfect for snorkeling, and we saw many kinds of exotic fish every day. The food was excellent throughout our stay. Following a vegan diet, we were thrilled with how Chef Min adapted every meal to our needs — the attention and creativity were outstanding. Breakfasts were especially memorable, with an amazing variety of fresh exotic fruits and delicious fresh juices. The hotel is truly ideal for families with young children with a wonderful kidsclub that offers plenty of activities (craft activities, beach exploration..etc).

My husband and I decided to visit the Maldives to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. We stayed at The Westin and from the second we arrived, the staff made us feel at home. Everything from the staff, to the food, spa, was absolutely incredible! We have visited 11 countries so far and this trip exceeded our expectations and was truly a dream. The entire staff was amazing but the two we worked with the most were Ayaan and Sandeep who made sure everything we wanted (restaurant reservations, spa treatments) were scheduled without any complications. We fell in love with this resort and cannot wait to go back!

We were guests of The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort as a couple with no children in April 2025 and cannot put in to words how incredible our experience was. Every aspect of our stay far exceeded expectations but what made it truly unforgettable was the outstanding service we received from each and every staff member. The resort as a whole was absolutely beautiful, multiple dining and beverage options that were all to such a high standard- our beach villa was immaculate, modern, quiet and so comfortable. We particularly enjoyed visiting The Pearl for two evening meals, all food and beverages we had were of a fine dining standard. It is difficult to mention all staff who made our stay such a positive and memorable one as truly every staff member we encountered was exceptional at their job and made us feel at home. A huge thank you to Julia our host, who was so warm, kind and attentive to detail throughout our entire stay- Julia even went to the trouble of arranging a kiwi and emu themed display in our villa because we are from New Zealand and Australia- just unbelievably thoughtful! We loved our many hours during our stay spent at the beach bar where Lasitha (Lasi) really went above and beyond to not only deliver phenomenal service and personalised beverages, but share many laughs with us. He truly elevated our experience and is exceptional at his job. We still miss you Lasi! Our private dining experience was also a big highlight, thank you to Masum who was so attentive. Chef, Min, your cuisine and skill is really first class and easily the best meals we have ever had, We cannot wait to return (hopefully soon) and experience all of this again- it truly is an extraordinary place.

Amazing experience. Great value for your money. Facilities, restaurants and food are great. The best resort for snorkeling in front of your room, you will find thousands of fish, turtles, mantas, even small nurse sharks… and more across the coral reef! The trips to see wildlife are incredible experiences, although they do somewhat depend on luck and availability, they have daily opportunities to join. Their greatest strength is their staff. They are very warm and welcoming, treating us like one of their own. We felt at home during our stay and we cannot wait to come back.

This honeymoon trip was a very good experience. This island is great, with a great ecological environment, great snorkeling environment, good restaurants and friendly staff. Especially the butler Levi, the service is very good, very enthusiastic and very careful, which made me feel very warm during this trip. I will often miss the days on this island, hoping to having the opportunity to come back for vacation in the future.

We returned from our 4th stay at Dusit Thani, this time for two weeks. We've been to the Maldives most years since 2000 and this is by far our favourite. The right balance of everything and wonderful snorkelling on the house reef, which is a real MUST for us! The new addition of the vegan restaurant, Sala, out over the ocean was very welcome and adds to the variety of varied dining possibilities. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient, so it's impossibly to name them individually, much as we would love to. We cannot imagine going anywhere else now and look forward to returning next year. We highly recommend it!

It was our first experience in Maldives and it was probably the best one we could have chosen. We had a Pool Villa facing the front sea, with plenty of natural shadow. This was the reason we chose it. And our own front and back garden, with a pool and showers in the plain view. And our personal butler, Jalaal, was the best. The resort is exclusive, small and intimate, with a lot of vegetation and they pay attention to each detail. The 4 restaurants provide very good food, we could not give up to any meal. And the return trip by seaplane completes everything!

4 nights at waterfront villa Once-in-a-life-time experience! Service is nice, foods are good, atmosphere and environment is awesome! I found some hair when I just got into a shower which was not unexpected 😕 but it was covered by all good stuff Lucky you! You might want to bring some dollars to leave tips

Reethi Beach Resort is set on a truly stunning island – lush greenery everywhere, soft sand you can walk barefoot on, and a gorgeous house reef full of marine life like reef sharks, hawksbill turtles, and even octopuses. Nature lovers will really enjoy the setting. The staff were one of the highlights – everyone from waiters to bellboys and cleaning staff were polite, welcoming, and genuinely warm. The chefs were especially kind and happy to chat, and the food was fresh and high quality every day. Also great to have free access to gym, tennis, and badminton. For those looking to dive or enjoy water sports, there’s a well-equipped (but paid) diving and water sports center on site. However, there were a few things that affected our experience. The rooms were very dimly lit, with barely any natural light, and unfortunately, the air conditioning unit smelled extremely bad (attaching a picture). It was working, but the odor made it very unpleasant. Transportation was another issue – despite being the only guests traveling that day, we spent half a day just waiting due to poor organization. On our last day, although we were approved for late checkout, our sunbed was removed early in the morning, which felt a bit rushed. Finally, there was no proper introduction to the island or its activities – you're left to discover things on your own, which can be frustrating for first-time visitors. Overall, a beautiful island with amazing staff and nature, but a few service and facility issues stopped it from being a perfect 5-star experience.

We had the most incredible holiday at Reethi! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate to stay in a water villa, which was simply breathtaking. While the resort is due for a refurbishment at the end of this month and could use a bit of TLC in places, it honestly didn’t affect our experience at all. The rooms were spotless, the food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. If you’re looking to escape to a stunning, natural island, this is the place to be. The snorkelling on the house reef was out of this world—we’ve never seen such a vibrant array of marine life. We’ve visited other islands in the Maldives and always enjoyed ourselves, but Reethi has a unique charm that truly sets it apart. The atmosphere is wonderfully tranquil and rustic, and the staff are some of the friendliest and happiest we’ve ever met. Huge thanks to Kokki, Uelly, Mohammed, Alex, and the entire Reethi team for making this such a memorable trip. We’ll definitely be returning!. Thank you!

The resort boasts stunning natural features and exudes a barefoot vibe throughout. The coral reef is in exceptionally good condition, with a fascinating array of wildlife! The bars and restaurants are excellent as well, though the main restaurant is dominated by Indian flavors. An excellent choice for a quiet and peaceful retreat.

Melanie Lobo

We visited this resort for our first anniversary. We stayed in Water Villa as well as sunset villa. Must say both of the rooms were very clean with the great view of the sea. The food also was exceptional. Overall a very good stay at Reethi. The experience was outstanding. Thank you Reethi. Will visit again.

Exceptional Stay at Reeti Beach Resort – A Perfect 30th Anniversary Celebration My wife and I arrived at Reeti Beach Resort on the morning of February 16th to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. From the moment we took the seamless seaplane transfer from Malé, everything was flawlessly arranged. We stayed one night at the Beach Villa and two nights at the Water Villa. Both accommodations were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The turquoise waters just outside our villa were breathtaking, making the experience even more magical. As strict Jain vegetarians, we were initially concerned about food options, but Chef Rajesh went above and beyond to curate delicious meals tailored to our dietary needs. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were simply outstanding. As a special gesture, the resort also arranged a complimentary anniversary dinner at a separate restaurant, which truly made our celebration even more memorable. We opted for the dolphin cruise and sunset cruise, and luck was on our side—we had an incredible experience. Additionally, the resort offers a professional photoshoot service, and Mr. Mohammad Shiham from Studio 7 did a phenomenal job capturing our moments beautifully. The entire property was impeccably clean, to the point where footwear felt unnecessary. Opting for the all-inclusive package was a great decision, as it allowed us to enjoy multiple bars without any hassle. Our departure was just as well-organized, ensuring a smooth experience right until the last moment. Reeti Beach Resort exceeded our expectations in every way, making our anniversary celebration truly special. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an unforgettable and luxurious getaway.
