Medhufushi is one of the best resorts I’ve ever been to, it truly feels like heaven. From the moment I arrived until I left the property, everything was perfect. Whether it was the room, food, or activities, everything exceeded expectations. The multi-cuisine food was fantastic, with plenty of options even for vegetarians. I loved every bit of it, and even the drinks were absolutely delicious!
The property is vast, and the rooms are spacious and impeccably clean. The staff were extremely courteous, especially in the bar and restaurant areas. The pool was beautiful, and the nighttime lighting made the whole place look magical.
The water villa was also spacious, well-maintained, and a joy to stay in. But we were asked to check out by 5.30 am as the ferry was arranged at 6 am in the morning which we got only in the night. The only downside was the scuba diving experience. We paid $160 per person, plus $40 for a camera that was only 12 megapixels, which wasn’t worth it. While we were told the dive would be 40 minutes, we were out in just 18 minutes. Still, the experience itself was magical and worth remembering
I definitely recommend this place to everyone and will visit again.

Visiting Medhufushi Island in January was truly a magical experience. The natural beauty of the island, with its crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches, left us speechless. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. Every detail, from the delicious food to the stunning overwater villas, made our stay unforgettable. The peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets created memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Medhufushi team, for giving us such a perfect and relaxing escape — we can't wait to return!

Traveller Review: Medhufushi Island Resort, Maldives – A Hidden Gem Recommended with Heart!
I recently traveled to Medhufushi Island Resort in the Maldives in March 2025 to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary, and I must say – it was an unforgettable experience. I planned the trip through MakeMyTrip, and I want to give special appreciation to their holiday expert Geetanjali Sharma. Throughout the planning process, I kept asking for more options – different resorts, packages, and destinations. Every time, she responded with patience, enthusiasm, and detailed suggestions.
Eventually, when I was overwhelmed with choices, I asked her to guide me based on her experience. She confidently recommended Medhufushi Island Resort, and the moment I arrived, I truly fell in love at first sight!
The resort is stunning – pristine, serene, and surrounded by breathtaking views. Most of the staff are extremely polite and helpful. I stayed 2 nights in a beachfront villa and 2 nights in a water villa – both were spacious, beautifully designed, and offered ultimate comfort. Truly a luxurious experience!
That said, there was one major concern: the air-conditioning. Between 2 PM and 4 PM, the cooling in many rooms was not effective. I spoke to several other guests who faced the same issue. I really hope the hotel management takes this seriously, especially considering the Maldivian climate.
At the reception, there were two staff members who came across as arrogant – one of them possibly from Bangladesh (though I’m not certain). On the other hand, the resort manager, Mr. Asim, is an outstanding gentleman – professional, courteous, and always attentive to guests’ needs.
Food and drinks were absolutely top-class. The buffet had a rich variety of veg and non-veg dishes, and everything was exceptionally delicious. I’d easily give 100 out of 100 to the Head Chef from South India – a culinary expert with a very warm and cooperative attitude.
One policy that seemed a bit odd – even with the all-inclusive package, guests are not allowed to take liquor to their rooms. For a resort known for its scenic views, it felt disappointing not being able to enjoy a drink or in the privacy of your beachfront or sunset villa. This rule definitely needs reconsideration.
I also want to specially mention Ashwin – a polite, courteous, and incredibly helpful staff member who went out of his way to ensure our comfort.
Overall, Medhufushi Island Resort is a fantastic destination – calm, picturesque, and well worth the price. It attracts quality guests, and as a frequent traveler who explores every part of a resort, I would confidently rate it 9.5 out of 10.
Highly recommended for your next Maldives escape!
Kinasta Haj
The island is beautiful with nice beaches. The food at the resort was delicious and the staff was very friendly, positive, simply amazing. Sajin was super nice always making sure we had everything we needed and had the best time ever. He has helped to make my friends birthday special. I will recommend this place to others for sure.
Chiara Altomare
Me and my family came to Medhufushi just last week and we were happy with our choice of resort. We arrived with the plane on the way to the resort and were immediately greeted with a drink, they then brought us to the rooms. We took the beach villas which had an incredible view alongside being immersed in trees and plants. The rooms are spacious however, some maintenance should be done, not only regarding the rooms but especially in the common areas. The wood paneling of the pool was something we noticed as being particularly worn which should be changed. The towels used sometimes were particularly worn (in some cases with holes). The main activity that we did during our time on the island was snorkeling which was worth it. During the snorkeling excursion, we saw dolphins and sharks and even managed to see some as we swam. Another truly impressive part of the resort was the care the staff had to meet every need we had. Having a person with gluten allergy we did not expect to be treated with such great care. The head chef Anukmar alongside all of his staff made the experience of breakfast and dinner great. They went out of their way to prepare gluten-free pancakes in the morning and even showed around the buffet every night to indicate the gluten-free foods. Although the staff for the rooms and other spaces was nothing short of kind and fast we had a few problems with the staff at the reception.
This is a simple resort which is ideal for those who want a quite vacation while appreciating nature.

Amazing place, amazing hotel. Room locations are perfect for ambiance. Island has got very beautiful nature. You can swim in white beaches or you can swim with the fishes. You can ride inside to the jungle. Staff are very kind and helpful. And hotel guest relations teams organizing all details from coming to maldives to the leaving moment.. Thank you for hospitality.
Maria Degtiareva
Thanks for the great hospitality.
Everything was perfect from the comfortable lounge zone in airport to whole staying.
The only one moment which one faced as a minus. On second night some bugs were bite me and my husband. We informed the reception and staff immediately reacted and send special service to the room to fix that issue.

Pure paradise, fantastic place 😍 Amazing, kind & caring staff. They would do anything for you! ❤️ Delicious food in main buffet restaurant and great choice of cocktails in the bar.
One of the most beautiful places we've been to. Walking around the island takes about 20 minutes. You can literally forget the shoes and stay barefoot all the time. The beach is being cleaned constantly from any coral debris washed ashore.
Our spacious beach pool villa was clean & spotless and we truly felt like we were in heaven - with an open shower in the bathroom, private pool outside the villa and a cute white sand path through lush green vegetation leading right to the pristine beach.
Sunset cruise and snorkeling cruise all included in our stay were amazing. Seeing baby sharks swimming around us was unreal. Once every few days, in the evening, you can spectacle bigger sharks feeding 👌
Highly recommended!
Erika
I’d like to thank the Brennia Kottefaru resort for a truly memorable staycation here in the Maldives. Your hospitality, kindness & beauty were second to none❤️
Each morning we were treated to beautiful sunrise walks on your pristinely kept white sandy beach, the blue & see-through water with local reefs & fish were like no other on this planet. We were treated to lovely, different & tasty food each & every day, always with a different theme, never once were we disappointed.
The facilities were great, we really enjoyed our deluxe overwater villa. Very calming hearing the waves lap up against it, looking at the local fish cruise by & enjoying it all from our very own pool.
There were so many activities that we could’ve chosen to do, but for sure we enjoyed our snorkeling safari, sunset cruise, Maldivian dance night. Last but not least, thanks for helping me celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday!
Thanks for a top notch stay❤️
pushpanjali mukherjee
Went there for our honeymoon (meticulously planned by the husband) and it was a gorgeous place. Maldives itself is so beautiful but this place exceeded our expectations in terms of rooms, food, drinks, activities etc. The highlights for me were being surrounded by the beautiful waters, enjoying incredible cocktails on the beach, the seafood and Asian night preparations and of course the delicious Italian corner whipping up amazing pastas for each meal.
Caroline Camerlynck
We just came back from 12 days Brennia and it was amazing! Beautiful island, lovely resort and very helpful and friendly staff. We’ve been staying in a water villa, and had the chance of seeing groups of dolphins swimming when we were laying in our bed. Not just once, but more than 5 days. Although the resort was fully booked, we frequently had the feeling that we were almost alone on this idyllic island. Great place to enjoy the beauty of the Maldives (white beach, turquoise water, underwater life in the house reef..). Excellent all-in formule with an extended range of foods and drinks. Great spa and fitness facilities. We did some excursions and had the chance of following a group of +50 dolphins for more than an hour. Jumping near the boat (we even saw a little baby dolphin swimming next to us). Snorkeling in the house reef was also really fun (turtles, manta’s, sharks and a variety of exotic fishes). It was also a great experience to be brought and picked up by a water plane and fly over the atolls of the Maldives. Great memories, experience of a lifetime!
Omran Al Rashdi
Great resort for vacation. We enjoyed our stay in water pool villa. The villa is well furnished and clean. Pool is also amazing. Beach is cleaned everyday. Food was great and buffet theme change daily.The only downside is the noise from seaplane when landing and takeoff near the resort.

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!
Надежда Крупская
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!
Annie Hunt
Recently visited Royal Island resort in Baa Atoll for our honeymoon. This resort is really great value for money and we can’t fault it. The hospitality from staff was outstanding, rooms were clean and spacious, onsite facilities were amazing and the snorkelling around the island is unbelievable! On the one day we had rain and there was plenty of indoor activities available to keep us entertained.
Any couples considering this destination should we mindful that this is popular with families so there will be a lot of children. This did not affect us and actually think it would be a great holiday destination when we have our own family as they have an itinerary for kids club everyday.
We stayed 6 nights in total which was the perfect amount of time for us. We did the Manta Ray experience booked onsite, luckily we saw the manta rays which was a dream for us and ticked off a bucket list item. The only thing I would say is perhaps considering cost high cost for the excursion, the resort should consider a partial refund/chance to go back out at no cost for any group that goes out and does not see the manta rays.
The buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner is wonderful and there are options for everyone! Staff were so kind, helpful and friendly.
Looking forward to revisiting this beautiful place again soon 😊

Absolutely Amazing Island and Resort!
We spent 10 days here, and from arrival to departure we had an absolutely amazing time.
The Snorkeling was beautiful and while the reef lacked in color a bit, the variety of fish we saw was stunning. From Turtles to rays and sharks, we saw it all just by circling the island.
As for the service, it was perfect as well, from the moment we stepped foot on the island we were taken care of, if we had a problem we could contact our spokesperson directly and any issues were resolved with incredible speed.
The Food was also of top quality, with great variety.
The only negative experience was with the all inclusive package.
While we have come to expect that "All Inclusive" often does not actually mean "ALL inclusive" we found that there were simply to many unnecessary and often time confusing restrictions.
For example, there were 2 bars you could visit and one of them only allowed all inclusive members to get free drinks after 3PM despite the drinks being the exact same as everywhere else on the island. There were a lot of these small minor annoyances which by themselves were manageable, but in the grand scheme of things were quite frustrating to deal with.
All Inclusive also included a sunset fishing trip, but our guide for the trip was completely disinterested which was also slightly disappointing.
However, the rest of the Staff were super friendly and helpful at all times, i would like to especially thank Faridun, Sha and Surjith for their absolutely amazing help and friendliness, and for making our visit an absolutely unforgettable experience.

AJAY JAIN
Heaven on Earth: A Unforgettable Stay at Siyam World Maldives
I'm still reeling from the most incredible vacation of my life at the Siyam World in the breathtakingly beautiful Maldives! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a treat.
The resort's stunning villas, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters exceeded our expectations. Our beach villa and the LAGOON WATER VILLA was a masterpiece of luxury, with a private pool, bath tub, and direct access to the ocean.
Specially our water villa room no. 573 had an extremely beautiful view for which i am very thankful to our ambassador LIMBU. This villa is also near the Indian restaurant named Curry Leaf and Tempo.
The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff catering to our every need. The resort's facilities, including the spa, gym, and water sports center, were top-notch.
But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional dining experience. The resort's restaurants served up mouth-watering cuisine, like fresh Vegetarian Indian Foods and Juices like Dosa, upma, poha, Garlic naan, kadhai Paneer, Awesome daal makhni, khichdi and curd for baby and many more. Literally you don't have to bring any food with you.
As we reluctantly departed, we knew we'd left a piece of our hearts in the Maldives. Siyam World is truly a slice of heaven on earth, and we can't wait to return.
Frank Schloeder
It was our third time in Maldives and Siyam World was a full success. After another more disappointing experience in another resort last time, we spent good time to search the right resort and our choice was the right one this time. We can recommend without a doubt.
The resort is in perfect shape and very well maintained. The facilities are amazing and there is something for everyone. Excellent service and very nice and forward thinking team. The food was very good. With the package that we booked, we could eat everyday in another restaurant and do a full restaurant hopping. And unlike the practice in other resorts, you are not discouraged from going to the restaurants instead of buffet and you have access to almost the entire menu card (except a few limited exceptions). Also the wine menu is accessible without surcharge, that also includes Champagne.
It's a large resort with many rooms, but it doesn't feel like crowded or busy. And it never gets boring as there is lots to do.
Siyam World has understood how a Maldive holiday should be. You spend a lot of money - far more than for most other destinations. And hence you expect the best. We spent a perfect week and we will be happy to come back for sure.
Taaibah Khan
Best every honeymoon on July 2023. Will definitely be back❤️. Food is outstanding in every restaurant, plenty of activities around the island. Ocean view lagoon with outstanding views. Sabrina Fernando was our host and was amazing.

Siyam world maldives is exceptional. Services of their staff is beyond our expectations. We have spent 4 days there. It's a lifetime memory for us.

Our Ambassador Muna limbu helped us a lot and throughout our trip, she guided us for each and everything about siyam world.will surely visit here again. Thanks to all.love you siyam world .
Sanj Marwaha
isited Siyam World for our honeymoon and the resort is nothing but a stunning destination offering luxury, comfort, and exceptional service. Our stay was made even more memorable thanks to our ambassador, Mo (Mu’az), who went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. His attentiveness, warmth, and dedication made us feel incredibly well taken care of—nothing was ever too much trouble.
The resort itself is paradise! With plenty of dining options, and lots of activities to enjoy. Overall, Siyam World exceeded our expectations, and Mo’s exceptional service truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend this resort for anyone seeking a luxurious escape.

Had a great week at Canareef staying in a sunset beach villa. Overall it was a great escape, which started with a warm welcome greeting from our enthusiastic and fun host, Millie. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility which is a real benefit being located on the most southern atoll. However, after a very long journey to Male airport, we then had to take a 1.5 hour domestic flight and then travel by boat to reach our final destination. Nevetheless, the accommodation was comfortable and enabled us to get a well earned rest! The food was good too, especially once we made the staff aware of our dietary requirements (vegetarian). Bishnu and Leon from the dining team, made a real effort to ensure that we were well looked after. Their professionalism and care and attention was greatly appreciated and has left us with fond memories of our time in the Maldives.
Miguel Ribeiro
I think for the price quality it's good. Service depends on the person's we have excellent service some of the people others terrible. Food is not the best thing in the resort. Rooms amazing but lacks quality on the rest of the resort. Location wise it's a little far from Male you have to take internal flight then boat.
Anoop Dsouza
Amazing sunset villas on the beach
Food was incredibly tasty & diverse: Aloysius & team are excellent (we stayed in early 2025)
After diving & snorkeling across many islands; can say that this was one of the cleanest beaches and the healthiest corals
Activities are probably too highly priced- would have done some more diving or tried fishing
Martino Ceroni
We spend a really good time in this Maldivian natural island. The dive experience was great, in particular the dive center's chief, Gil, was a perfect guide, really professional and experienced. Absolutely suggested!
karen payne
Canareef was not our first choice location .we were informed 2 days before our holiday .it's a much bigger resort than we would choose and that reflected in the maintenance of the accommodation.we were put in room 713 which was right down the bottom of the island .A long way from the restaurant,so to get to and fro we had the free bikes.They were v uncomfortable and gears not working but just about ok .the shuttle service was v hit and miss .sometimes you would have to wait quite a while for one ,then 1 would turn up full up .
Why don't you have bus stops and a shuttle that picks up every 15 mins ?
Service was great .amazing choice of food every meal .Bars v good
The most cared for part was the accommodation up to numbers 550
After that the planting and road goes downhill.

Happiest Happies
The entire island team is very accommodating and helpful. The island is quiet and perfect for relaxing. It never gets boring here. We would go to Rahaa again
Addendum: Unfortunately, I have been waiting a long time for an important document. I have contacted the service department, but have received no documents, only annoyances.
Juli Universe
Update after 2 months of downtime. There are annoying problems. 😡
We really enjoyed our stay. The entire dive center, the massage team and the bar are all very friendly and helpful. We had no problems and were able to enjoy a stress-free vacation. The rooms were always clean and the food was delicious and varied (remember it is a small island and there are not many options). We would like to thank everyone and would come back again.🌴
Addendum: I've been waiting two months for a medical report for my insurance because I had to go to the doctor at the hotel. After really asking several times, I keep being put off, which really annoys me. It's best to take a detailed report with you if you have to go to the doctor. An invoice is not enough for many insurance companies.

My wife and I have just completed our second stay at this fabulous resort - what a find and we were thrilled to return! This is in our view just how the Maldives should be, stripped back, a little rustic with all of the essentials perfectly in place. Rahaa like most of the Maldives enjoys a stunning location in the Indian Ocean, but where this resort differs and stands out is the manner in which the natural beauty and charm of the island has remained steadfastly in place; as a consequence the nature and wildlife habitats are as they have been for time immemorial. This does not have the glitz and glamour of other resorts and has remained true to its’ roots. The rooms are all air conditioned, spacious and delightful, the restaurant offerings are just perfect at this price point, again staying true with Maldivian cuisine together with themed offerings resulted in truly something for everybody and all absolutely delicious. The bar staff under the watchful eye of the ever helpful Islam are caring and attentive as it must be said are all of the team members who always stop whatever they are doing and meet you with heartfelt and genuine greetings which is a real pleasure. Special thanks to Islam for helping to organise my Anniversary surprise which was perfect! Ismael, the Rahaa General Manager was present throughout our stay and it is refreshing to hear his continuing future vision for the resort is to continue very much in the same vein and in doing so make The Maldives more accessible for both new and returning clients.
During our stay my wife unfortunately required some prompt medical treatment and the service she received throughout was absolutely second to none - my heartfelt thanks to Ismael and the resort Doctor for your professionalism and kindness.
Rahaa is a real gem, thank you so much for another fabulous experience!
Janina W.
Located in the middle of untouched nature on Lamu Atoll, not far from the equator. The resort is in a well-kept, very pristine condition and offers a lot of tranquillity and, above all, direct proximity to the indescribably beautiful nature of the Maldives.
It is a 4-star resort, which is particularly noticeable in the food. We had a great stay and I would recommend the hotel to anyone who just wants to take a deep breath, but I would definitely not recommend this place as a honeymoon destination.
Location & surroundings
From Male Airport it takes another 1 hour by domestic flight, from there it is about 45 minutes by speedboat to the resort. The surroundings are simply fantastic!
Rooms
The rooms are clean, functionally equipped and very spacious. We booked a Langoon villa and really enjoyed our stay.
Service
The service is great! Everyone at the hotel is in a positive mood and extremely courteous. Our special thanks go to our room service Surendra and the bar keeper Rana, who made our stay extra special with good humor and nice
conversations!5****!!!
Gastronomy
The choice of food is unfortunately very limited. Also, a lot of things tend to be repeated from day to day. I would generally describe the cuisine as rather local. We were always served enough and the food was fresh, but people who eat very selectively will not be happy here.
Sport & entertainment
- Massage - The massage was absolutely amazing!
The therapists know exactly what they are doing and are super friendly and courteous! The value for money is TOP! - Diving - The diving center and both diving instructors are great! Thank you for giving us such a great time with you!
Jimbo Jones
Absolutely stunning island with superb staff always happy to assist you especially Indri. The food is fine if you're creative and the chef in the main dining area is happy to assist with your preferences. The ocean view rooms are fantastic with outdoor bathroom and the Aircon in the bedroom is super chilled.. the cleaners are also very regular and efficient at cleaning the sand from the rooms. The whole experience was very relaxing with stunning scenery.. my only disappointment was no jet ski hire.. The canoes were great for a visit to small islands around it.. A huge thanks to Maafu who did me a Hugh favour whilst out on the turtle excursion..
In whole I did enjoy my stay here and would recommend them if you're looking for a relaxing break.. thanks very much all at Raaha Resort.

Abhishek Nair
I visited this place for the second time with my family to celebrate my daughter's birthday.
The resort is very beautiful, calm and the best place to relax.
Ocean Villa was awesome. My only suggestion would be that the toilet and bath area should have blinds as the doors are transparent.
Restaurants had a variety of options, but comparing it to our last visit, Sunset restaurant had limited options and the staff were not attentive.
We found a variety of options in the Banyan restaurant and the staff were very attentive.
We were attended to and taken care of by staff member Rahul. He was very helpful, professional and one message away. Kudos to him. He made us explore the resort and provided us 5 star service.
The room service team decorated our room and Rahul arranged a cake for my daughter's birthday. It was complimentary from the hotel.
We also enjoyed the sunset cruise. It was very peaceful.
Airport transfers and the staff were very helpful.

Bhagya Hewawasam
Our stay at Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ms Sandali at reception, whose kindness and professionalism truly set the tone for a perfect holiday. Her warm smile and genuine care made us feel right at home — she went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable.
A special shout out also goes to KK and the entire team at the main restaurant. Every meal was a delight — the variety, taste, and presentation of the dishes were absolutely top-notch. The chefs clearly put their hearts into every plate, and the service staff were always attentive, friendly, and efficient. Dining there was an experience in itself!
The entire resort is a paradise — beautifully maintained, peaceful, and filled with the friendliest staff who are always ready with a smile. Whether it was the housekeeping team, bar staff, or activity coordinators, everyone contributed to making our stay unforgettable.
Thank you, Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi, for the incredible hospitality and memories. We can’t wait to come back!
Matt Olson
My wife and I chose Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi for our latest trip to the Maldives—just the two of us, no kids—and honestly, it was perfect.
The whole island has this cool, surf-friendly vibe that’s super chill but still feels special. The staff were so kind from the moment we arrived. Everything is green and peaceful, like walking through a tropical garden.
Food? Amazing. So many good options, especially and surprisingly, for my celiac, gluten free wife. She says it was the best pizza of her entire celiac experience (past 5 years). The live acoustic music at night made it feel even more memorable. We loved the sunset cruise and the noontime snorkeling at the nearby reef.
Also—the outdoor shower in our villa? Both spacious and spotlessly clean, fantastic design. 10/10. We loved every moment and already want to come back.
bhuvaneshwari ramasamy
Adaaran Select Hudhuran Fushi is an absolute gem! My partner and I had the best holiday experience, and a big part of that was thanks to the amazing staff. A special shoutout to Pradeep and kisha, who made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Their constant smiles and helpful nature made our stay even more enjoyable.
The resort itself is beautiful, with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. We stayed in a beach villa, which was spacious and spotless. The food was delicious, with a variety of options to suit every palate.
One of the best things about the resort was how well-organized everything was. The front office staff, in particular, made everything so easy, from check-in to helping us book activities. Their warmth and professionalism really set the tone for a fantastic stay.
Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable vacation. We can’t wait to return!

A good house reef with plenty of fish, but the current constantly changes. The staff is friendly and always ready to help solve any issue. The island feels wild, but it could use a bit more upkeep. Some areas need renovation (for example, the pathway to the villas – the lighting consists of completely different lamps, which doesn’t look great) and so on.
Nick Abel
Some of the best snorkeling I have ever experienced, straight off the beach in front of my villa.
Jessica P
We loved it here! Celiac (gluten) and dairy allergies in our family, no problem. The chef told us what was safe to eat at almost every meal, and we had a lot of options! The included fishing trip was so much fun, and our kids still want to go fishing because of it. Not many kids on island, so ours were like celebrities and had the best time! We talk about this trip at least once a week, and it’s been nearly 3 months since we were there. Seriously amazing!
Nidhi Gupta Nihalani
My husband and I booked a water villa for our anniversary and had one of the best holiday.
Water villa was heavenly. Fishes swimming around us as we enjoy tea on our private sundeck
Resort has a wonderful house reef and we planned to have our first ever diving experience here. Best choice that we made! Two magical experiences -
First, Ramzan guided us through night fluo dive. His instructions were so helpful to make it thorougly enjoyable inspite of neither of us being great swimmers. Infact I was uneasy, to begin, with snorkeling gear and fins but he gave us so many tips that I was almost a fish by the end of evening! The night dive in itself was beyond words! Must have experience for anyone.
Next day Matja, the diving instructor, took us for deep diving. Again, she was so precise in her instructions, so thorough that we had not one single issue through the entire dive inspite of it being first dive of our life! Witnessed some miracles of underwater world...
Also must mention Reema and Wiwik - who gave us 90 min of pure bliss in spa room. Reema was so good that without any mention she recognized my back week areas and my aches vanished like they never existed!
We are vegetarian and the restaurant manager and chef made sure to cater to us and kept checking upon us to ensure we were enjoying our meals.
Jaish was our server in restaurant- at mere 19 yr he was the youngest of all staff and yet so professional and warm. He shared lovely personal stories and even photos he clicks - photography being his passion.
Shakir took care of keeping our villa clean and fully stocked up at all times. Again, always happy to go an extra mile to be of help.
Overall, an unforgettable holiday, thanks to wonderful location, facilities but most of all the staff.
Kimberly Jimenez
This gorgeous resort in the Maldives has it all…Charm, natural beauty, incredible food and attentive staff. What makes this resort so special is it’s beautiful authenticity and the way that the architecture is so true to the native setting. The natural beauty is enhanced by the stunning infinity pool, lovely restaurant ramadas, and the grounds are impeccably maintained. A destination that will not disappoint!

Incredible Holiday
This holiday has truly been the best I’ve ever experienced. It's such a beautiful location, and the natural surroundings took my breath away. We were warmly welcomed at the hotel by a friendly staff member (I’m sorry I can’t recall his name), which set the tone for an incredible and fantastic stay.
Every staff member and the hotel management team did an excellent job in making us feel comfortable and cared for. The food was absolutely delicious—the best I’ve ever had at an all-inclusive hotel. There were also plenty of fun and well-organized activities provided by the hotel, which added to the overall experience.
The beach and the sea were unbelievably beautiful—like something out of a postcard. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who hasn’t yet visited the Maldives. It’s truly a slice of paradise, and I will definitely be coming back next year.
saumya thilini
We recently stayed at this resort with our family and it was nothing short of paradise. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. The views were absolutely breathtaking.
Our villa was spotless and had all the comforts we needed for a relaxing stay. The food was a highlight — delicious and varied with something for everyone. A special thank you to *Chef Rohan* for his excellent service and warm hospitality.
Every moment at the resort was pure joy. From the peaceful atmosphere to the exceptional service, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the entire team for the amazing vibes — we truly enjoyed every second of our stay.
We’re already dreaming of coming back!
Piali Chowdhury
We had a great time in this resort. Staffs of this resort are hospitable, very warm and welcoming and serve everyone with a smile on their face. It is definitely one of the best family resorts in Maldives. as we travelled with 5 yr old kid, availability of Indian food was a concern to me. I was happy to feed Indian dishes to my kid at this resort. We all liked this beautiful property.
Special mention to Mr Roshan, Mr Ali from Restaurant, Miss Sabina from Restaurant and Chavana Spa Team ( Miss Windy and Miss Mia) for their personal care and making our trip to Maldives so wonderful and memorable.
Claire Topper
We have found paradise!!!
This place is amazing and can not be faulted in anyway.
From the moment we were greeted by Roshan from the boat we knew we had arrived somewhere special.
All staff have been fantastic. Sabine and Mahal in the restaurant have treated us incredibly well and are always happy to help. The food is brilliant and as a vegetarian there was plenty to choose from.
Our room was cleaned twice a day to a high standard.
Moni encouraged us to join in yoga aqua aerobics and volleyball. We tried snorkelling and paddle boarding too!
Watching the sunset on this beautiful island sipping a cocktail rounded off each day perfectly x
Vilmos V
Wow, what an amazing experience we had at the Adaaran Club Rannalhi. During our eight-night stay, there was not a single aspect I could fault. The rooms were spotless, the food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, and the beach was simply stunning. The island never felt crowded, which was exactly what we were looking for.
The staff are truly exceptional — every single one of them. I would particularly like to mention Haisam from the housekeeping team, who looked after our room impeccably twice a day, and Shareeh and Simran from the food and beverage team, who took such wonderful care of us. A special thank you as well to Sabina, who helped organise a memorable exclusive dinner for us. Although I haven’t named them individually, the crew of the two dhonis also contributed hugely to making our stay so unforgettable.
Thank you very much — we will definitely be back!

Ignacio Cabeza
Overall, is a good 3 star hotel with a few rooms/villas that are top class. We stayed at villa 107, which in my opinion is one of the best. A lot of privacy when at the deck, and also the bathroom is further away. Nice touches like the White Company products, the Nespresso, good towels too. We had the breakfast at the deck and also the floating breakfast included. The buffet is really good, every meal is different and good quality.
The service although is not very good. We requested a late check out (or to book a lower quality room) as our flight was 9pm from Malé; we did this request the first day and only the night before they told us that late check out wasn’t possible but it was very hard to book the extra room too… the communication was very bad. They should have told us to book it straight away and not to wait until last night. Then, we got the full board which it is not clear if the drinks are or are not included during meals.
Overall, like I said, a 3 star hotel with a few good rooms and close to male.
Mansour Aldhanhani
Absolutely loved my stay at Malahini Kuda Bandos! The island is stunning—crystal-clear water, white sand, and peaceful vibes. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. Rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. Great food with lots of variety, and plenty of fun water activities. Only a quick speedboat from the airport too! Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway in the Maldives.
Marlena Tomczak
We are in a charming holiday paradise. We found a turquoise ocean, greenery like in a real jungle and wonderful hotel service. The lovely Subha from the reception took care of us. Thanks to her we have a wonderful holiday. With a smile she helped us change rooms. Subha is an exceptionally nice, helpful and professional girl. So far - no one has taken such good care of us on holiday. Congratulations to the hotel for its professional and positive staff. Subha - we thank you for your smile and understanding. Renata and Andrzej.

We have stayed in the most expensive house, yes ocean front, spa and pool, high ceilings with showers outside and all that, we paid $2850 for 2 nights booked a year in advance.
Overall it's very ordinary and there is nothing to do. Yes they have a gym but it's far from the beach, food is average and it's quite boring.
They don't allow you to fish, just a heads up.
There's no sign that it says but they get very aggressive if they see any fishing activity.
You can pay $300 and go out fishing and that's all.
We had a storm of sand flies today and heaps of mosquitoes.
Not recommended to my friends and my clients to stay the most expensive one. Maybe cheaper rooms you feel better than how I feel about it.
Denise Moniz
We spent a wonderful week in March . Cannot say enough about the wonderful staff. If I forgot any ones name I apologize. Thank you Rimy, from greeting us at airport and all your help. And the always smiling and welcoming gentleman at reception with the silver streak in his hair.
The staff at the restaurant. The food was delicious.
The water was amazing soooooo clear you did not have to venture far to see an array of fish. The rooms were lovely and well maintained. Marine staff so knowledgeable and helpful. My husband Paul had the time of his life with them on the skidoo.
The only thing I wish they had a battery operated cart for the porters carrying/pushing all the heavy luggage. It is hard work through the sand. Please see if you can do something for this hard working porters.
Thank you once again for wonderful time. Looking forward to coming again.
Highly recommend.

Leonardo Passini
On this island I experienced one of the most relaxing and immersive holidays of my life. the village staff is really very kind, friendly and always available. the staff has always been very kind, they have always taken care of every detail and always dedicated their attention to us. the apartments are surrounded by greenery, but are a minute from the beach. The sea is beautiful, fascinating and the coral reef is infinitely beautiful.
Cleanliness reigns supreme in this beautiful tourist village. the diving center is really efficient.
ours was a perfect experience in an enchanting place that we will definitely repeat.
Mák Zita
Our stay at Embudu Village Resort was absolutely perfect! Everything was exactly as arranged before: they picked us up in Malé on time and transferred us smoothly by boat. We stayed for 7 days with full board, which was more than enough — delicious food with many options, much better than expected!
We were a bit worried we might get bored, but the island offers plenty of affordable activities like snorkeling (the marine life is incredible!), night fishing (and they cook your catch the next day), and more.
The island, rooms, and all areas were spotlessly clean at all times. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. Every day, we received 1 liter of water per person in the room; we also brought some extra water, so we didn’t need to buy more, as full board covers drinks only at breakfast (tea/coffee).
The only small downside was the Wi-Fi coverage, which was quite poor — but honestly, it didn’t disturb us at all, as we spent most of our time enjoying the island and only checked our phones briefly at night.
It was truly an amazing, relaxing experience — highly recommended!

Pure paradise: by far the best accommodation experience we’ve ever had. The island itself is a tropical paradise - soft, powdery sand, crystal-clear waters with the most incredible shades of blue, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Every single view looked like a postcard! The water here is unbelievable—so clear, so blue. The island itself is well-maintained, with plenty of spots to just relax and take in the beauty around you.
We had the chance to stay in both the beach bungalow and the water bungalow, and while both were fantastic, the water bungalow was absolutely next level! Waking up to the gentle sound of waves, stepping directly onto the deck with a stunning ocean view and watching marine life right through the floor of your room - just magical. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and had everything needed for a perfect stay.
Another thing that truly stood out was the amazing staff. They were not only incredibly helpful but also plentiful, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that guests always had assistance when needed. Their warmth and attentiveness made the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a place that offers breathtaking scenery, incredible service, and an unforgettable experience, Embudu Village is the one. Easily a 5/5 experience!

I love how the island preserves the unspoiled nature of the Maldives, bringing back memories of childhood days on our islands. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. However, the rooms are in urgent need of renovation.
Graham Hartley
The island is fantastic very few water villas which haven't spoilt the reef, it's a quite dive island. the food was very good a buffet with lots of choice and fresh.

My husband and I came to Cinnamon Dhonveli for our honeymoon. The place is really like paradise, the beach is breathtaking, and the resort is a piece of heaven.
The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to our every need.
From the friendly check-in process to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay, it truly felt like a personalized experience. The food definitely exceeded our expectations! It is buffet and I imagined that the recipes would repeat but every day there is new things to try, fresh juices, and action stations where they prepare the personalized dishes for you. My husband is Sri Lankan and we discovered that some of the chefs and service staff were also Sri Lankan. They were extremely welcoming and made my husband feel at home. Chef Anbarasan prepared a special prawn curry just for us, which was an unforgettable culinary experience. Nimesh and the entire waitstaff at the Maakana restaurant were outstanding, always ensuring we felt taken care of with their exceptional service and warm hospitality.
We didn't get to do much activities though, there was plenty going on in the bars (live music, karaoke, jazz, a crab race 😅).
Overall, our stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli was we felt taken care of with their exceptional service and warm hospitality.
It's the perfect destination for those looking to unwind, experience luxury, and enjoy world-class service.

It was very pleasant stay! Very nice and friendly staff, Sattar was always so sweet, smiling all the time and was giving us flowers :)) Mira at front desk was super helpful, sweet and caring! Helped us to upgrade, always checked on us and made sure we had a great time.
The resort itself is nice too, good 4 stars. Food is good, our water villa was great! Overall we had great vacation! Thanks to everyone!
Rut Gunnarsdóttir
We had a wonderful time in this great hotel - everything was amazing! The over water suite was heavenly, the food and drinks perfection, friendly and helpful staff and fascilities clean and accomodating.
Sattar made our stay by the pool exceptional and offered to take some beautiful pictures ❤️
Eva Lloria Molina
We came for our honeymoon, our first time in the Maldives. The entire staff is very friendly, and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The experience is incredible; it's basically like being in paradise. Sattar gave us a flower necklace, Shiman was there for anything we needed, and Addianet and Damaso are incredible musicians, very friendly, and they liven up the evenings. I would like to thank Lasaan and Nahaaj for their kindness and friendliness.
It's really sad to have to say goodbye to all of them.
We would definitely repeat the experience at Cinnamon without a second thought.
Mo Yasser
Such a dream, this is one of the most beautiful places I have been in. The stay was amazing, and the staff were brilliant. The food selection on every meal was excellent. They even got us a gift on our birthday, a champagne (alcohol free) bottle. Few activities within the resort, mainly aquatic. Rooms were a very good size, and if you can, get the ones by the sea, just wow.

Sabine Reisinger
From arrival on the island to departure, everything was wonderful. We were able to spend 14 nights in a Premium Beach Villa 131. All of the staff are really friendly and work very hard. On behalf of the staff in the restaurants, I would like to highlight Abu. He and his colleagues work very hard to make the vacation perfect. Jaanu (I hope I remembered that correctly) also brightened up the rainy days with her cheerful greetings. Although we have to eat gluten-free, it was no problem! Bread, pancakes and much more were specially prepared for us in the kitchen, but the labels on the buffet also showed the allergens. The only thing I could mention for improvement is that very spicy dishes could perhaps be labeled. Our housekeeper looked after us well and always cleaned very neatly and was able to fulfill almost all of our wishes promptly.
The house reef offers many interesting views for snorkeling. Unfortunately, not all of the corals are as colorful as they should be. In conclusion, a dream vacation
Yousef Chekfeh
I will start with the Cons:
1. Reservation Issues: It took Emirates Holiday almost five days to check an overwater villa, but they couldn't reserve it. When I arrived, the resort offered the villa for an extra $615.
2. Unprofessional Reception: The reception lacked proper explanation about the resort's facilities and amenities.
3. Poor Room Service: Room service was uncoordinated, with poor communication with the reception. If you’re planning a special moment, don’t expect any surprises to go as planned.
4. Overpriced Food & Bars: Food and drinks are expensive. Full board or all-inclusive is necessary.
5. Expensive Activities: Resort activities and trips are overpriced.
Pros:
1. Beautiful Villas: The Premium Villa was superb with a sky jacuzzi. The Overwater Villa was elegant and offered good privacy pool
2. Clean Beaches: The beaches were clean and stunning.
3. Friendly Staff: Only Restaurant staff were kind and welcoming.
4. Location: only 15 mins form airport using the resort speed boat
Overall:
1. Unless you can deal with the above comments, I don’t recommend spend your money of this resort.
2. The resort has potential, but needs to improve its reservation system, reception, and room service to be truly 5-star.
Emma Chase
Went here for 10 nights from 21st November to 1st December 2023! Went with a friend and stayed in a premium beach villa, which was excellent! Had the most amazing time here! The staff are so friendly and lovely and give impeccable service, especially Uttar and Jazlaan in the main restaurant who always welcomed us and were brilliant and Sanjay and Guru at the swim up bar at the pool who both gave excellent service. ( Sorry if I spelt their names wrong!) It was a holiday for my birthday and they did a wonderful table decoration and cake on our last night! The weather was great on the most hand. We had one morning of rain and one evening of rain, both lasting a couple of hours and the temperature was about 32 degrees celsius (day) 28 degrees celsius (night).
We were on the all-inclusive package, and the food was mostly really good. It is done buffet style and you can always find something you like! Obviously, there is a lot of fish, but they have theme nights too, eg, Mexican, Italian, Maldivian, etc. My only complaint is that you would think all cocktails and drinks would be included on the all-inclusive package, but it is only about 30- 40% of cocktails and house vodka, rum, whiskey and brandy. No liquers like Baileys, Amaretto, etc, are included.
We went on the sunset cruise to see dolphins in the wild, which was $80 each, and the experience was AMAZING!
The island works on a cashless basis, so everything is signed for, and you settle up on your last night, which made us feel safer not having to carry any money on us.
The island is a 10-minute boat ride from the Dock opposite the airport, and we were met in arrivals by staff from the island who were lovely and friendly and helped with our cases.
I highly recommend this resort and hope to go back sometime!! Thanks to everyone there who made my birthday so memorable!
Peter Ar
-Lovely Island-Resort.
-GREAT FOR DIVING!
-Great clean beaches
-great buffet
-friendl⁴y staff
-We have been picked up from the airport with boat upon arrival.
-🌈 Friendly (although we have been respectful)
-Overall little bit too expensive...But its Maldives!
We would come back again though.
Thank you for an amazing week!
Natasha Nilsson
Spent a week in Bandos in March. A solid 4* resort but not 5*.
Pros: easy to get to, decent level of maintenance of the resort, excellent spa massage, the vast majority of staff are friendly and helpful (special thanks to waiters Ranjun, Tanuj and Uttar), good level of cleanliness of the villas, enough choice of buffet menu and it's rather tasty. Maldivian natural beauty trumps it all and the underwater world is fascinating too.
Cons: there were a couple of service disasters caused by either lack of staff training or their poor English understanding. Some facilities like gym or hotel reception and main bar look dated. The transfer boat to the airport was an old and smelly fuel guzzler. The beds are hard as a rock.
We still had a great holiday there, good value for money, would recommend.

It was a wonderful experience at Dhigufaru. right from the airport reception to final good bye everything was taken care of by all their efficient staff. A special mention is must of Mrs. AFAA, who took care of every minute details during our stay. The rooms were spacious and clean. The water villa was well located with an awesome view .The food quality,variety and taste was awesome.
Overall we had a wonderful and a memorable trip.

Idyllic beach resort island in the Maldives. Food choice in the dining room very good. Good selection of drinks and cocktails on the AI menu.

Verena Trau
We recently stayed at Villa Park in the Maldives and had a lovely time overall, though there were some aspects that didn’t quite meet our expectations for a 5-star resort.
Positives:
Our Lagoon Beach Villa was beautiful – spacious, clean, and just steps away from the stunning ocean, which was, of course, the highlight as expected on the Maldives. The staff were extremely friendly and especially great with kids. The Kids Club was a real plus – modern, well-equipped, and run by a fantastic team who clearly love what they do. Our child absolutely loved it.
Areas for Improvement:
While the natural setting is unbeatable, the resort itself falls short of the 5-star standard it claims. The buffet food was good, but not exceptional – certainly not what you’d expect from a luxury resort.
Several parts of the hotel are in need of renovation, especially the pool areas. The baby pool in particular looked quite neglected. One of the beach bars also seemed quite run-down and didn’t invite you to stay. Another disappointment were the bikes available for rent – not only did they cost extra, but they were old and rusty, which really shouldn’t be the case in a premium resort.
In summary, we enjoyed our time thanks to the beautiful nature and the friendly staff, but the overall experience did not quite live up to the 5-star expectations. With some updates and more attention to detail, Villa Park could really live up to its potential.
Captain C
We were in the resort from April 4 to April 13 2025. Just an absolute amazing time. The resort is fantastic and the staff more than professional plus always with a smile. We really really liked Anju from the restaurant, perfect service. Also Simna was great help and many many more. We really cannot name anyone cause the staff there is just amazing, great people and five star service and also the food was perfect.

Paradise on earth.. we stayed in lagoon beach pools villa and this is the best experience we ever had. Everything was perfect, staff is very polite and welcoming, especially guy who was cleaning our room and was there for all the stuff we needed. His name is Shajalal.Thanks for everything from room 180 🌷

Yoga with Ayushi is very nice, relaxing and after these sessions I feel a lot of energy and feel my body completely. This is super good to have hatha yoga with so professional teacher. I enjoy it very much. And recommend to all)
Benjamin Suljevic
I was traveling from Europe with my wife, and the trip is quite long even if you exclude the waiting times at the airport. But that is pretty much where the troubles stopped. As the speed boat was making its way to the resort island we could feel our stress relieving.
We got welcomed by a very pleasant party and lead to the reception of the hotel, where we had hot towels to cool off, fresh welcome drinks and were greeted by a group of hosts. My wife and had the pleasure of being welcomed by (by far) the best host I have had in my travels so far, Simna Varghese. After some introductory information, we were escorted to our rooms by a small car (they call them buggies) along with our luggage.
Depending on your arrival time, you might have to wait to get access to your room, as the checkout time is 12:00 and the official check in time for new guests is 14:00. But not to worry, there is a place to shower, change and relax while waiting.
We had the pleasure of staying at the Water Villa. The moment when the buggy is driving towards the villas and you get to see the scene from all the pictures is truly breathtaking. These villas do look a bit retro, with the wooden floors and old style furniture, but they are very spacey and comfortable. Of course, the room had an AC unit. The cleaning staff did an impeccable job cleaning two times a day (even more if you request it!), usually during breakfast and dinner times when people are out of their rooms, never bothering us nor moving any of our stuff, yet the room was always clean and fresh. A special greeting for the guy who cleaned our room, Mohammed.
Staying at the Water Villa (also the Deluxe Beach Villas) includes having your meals at the Southern Restaurant. The food itself was almost the same as in the main restaurant of the island (save for a few dishes per meal), but as the Southern restaurant is more exclusive and smaller, the staff gives more effort to each guest. Rachel and Pratima always greeted us with a smile and offered places at the tables, while Issayas and his colleagues were always welcoming and hospitable to everyone, making sure you are not needed anything during your meal. All the chefs working at the restaurant were top tier, making meals worthy of a Michelin star.
While on the topic of staff, the resort has so many people working (one waiter at a bar told us there is 1000 employees!) but each and every one always greets you with a smile on their face and a hand to their heart.
A special shoutout goes to our host, Simna. She went out of her way to make sure everything was according to our needs, handling things and responding to us at all times, being a great guide as well, greeting us every morning and sending activity information. It is too bad you cant pick your host, cause i would recommend everyone to ask for her :)
I could spend a lot more time talking about how the beaches were beautiful, the sea itself having varying colors and depths depending on the side of the island, activities spread throughout the island including mini golf, zoo with a whole variety of different animal species, banana and coconut plants, mango trees, gym, sports activities, hookah, nature themed bar/restaurant and a whole lot else, but I have to let you discover some things for yourselves!
In the end, when I tell you it was all well worth over a days trip back and forth, and that I would gladly do it again and again, that should be enough to tell you this is one hell of an experience unlike any other out there. Enjoy your vacation!

Joe Barrow
Maldives 🇲🇻 has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From seeing lots of wildlife in the ocean to fantastic staff members. To the most beautiful views from the back of your room. I honestly cant say enough nice things about this resort. Not only have I checked off one of my bucket lists but my wife & I are already planning another trip.
Md. Rasul Khan Hamim
The experience was fantastic. The staff were so great and helpful. The other guests were really friendly. It had a great vacation vibe. The island could be seen from the plane. They received us at the airport and took in our luggage. The speed boat journey was super fast and smooth. They welcomed us at the island with claps and drinks. They gave us a briefing about the island. We had buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner and drinks included in our package. We also had complimentary beverages in mini fridge in our room. We stayed there for one night in the water villa. The view of the blue lagoon and sea from the room is mesmerizing. Life jackets were given in the room. The water is very deep in front of the villa and underwater ground is filled with corals. So you must use life jackets because your feet wont touch the ground. You can snorkel anytime. If you are lucky you may get to see one or two fish and sting ray along with coral. You can ask for any specific villa on any side and if possible they will keep that request. You can also request for complimentary honeymoon bed decoration. The pool is open from 9am to 7pm. There is also foam show in the evening sometimes. There are dance parties in the pool too. There is live music at night by the pool. Breakfast time is 7am-10am, lunch time is 12pm-3pm and dinner time is 7pm-10pm. The whole island is really beautiful. There are buggy cars running from one end of the island to the other every 5 mins. You can get on them and go anywhere. The bridge to the other adjacent island is one of the most beautiful things in this island. You should book your departure speed boat slot as early as possible because if they get filled up, you won't be able to depart on time. They also helped us to cash out some money from our bank card. The only bad side was that their wifi was not good. We had to use mobile data.
Overall it was one of the best experiences in Maldives. Definitely recommended. The All inclusive (buffer lunch, buffet breakfast, buffet dinner, complimentary round trip transfer) water villa package costed 827 dollars when we booked it 2/3 weeks earlier. We went there on mid April 2025.
Liliana (MiPanama1)
Our stay at Oblu Xperience was delightful overall. The airport transfer was seamless with dedicated contact, and the all-inclusive package provided excellent value. Our small fridge and coffee bar were restocked daily with beer, coffee, and bottled water, which was a great touch. The spa services exceeded expectations—Anny, Acai, and Geri delivered a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Using USD simplified transactions. My daughter, who never dived before, was able to participate thanks to her attentive and patient instructor, Kassim. Without his guidance, she likely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to enjoy diving with her dad.
Jeff
We stayed in the over water villas and loved it. I recommend getting on the sunset side as the views are beautiful. The rooms are even better than the photos online. The only complaint is the wifi in the rooms - I posted a photo of the upload/download speeds for reference.
The staff there are so attentive. Hamit was taking care of our room and did an amazing job. Niya made beach volleyball a lot of fun and I learned a lot from him. Everyone throughout the resort worked so hard. They also seem to work a loooot (maybe management could help with that?)
It’s located far enough from Malé and the airport that it feels secluded and quiet but close enough that it’s only a 15 min boat ride. It felt like a true paradise getaway.
Stephen Maskens
Lovely stay on the island, the beach bungalows are very modern with access to their own beach. An open air shower makes the room feel special. The only minor fault was the flooring in the bungalow where the joints between the flooring were frayed and were raised and need to be replaced. The staff were all friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, everything we ate from the extensive buffet was excellent.

We spent a few days relaxing at Cocoon Maldives for our honeymoon, and I can only say that the experience was unforgettable. All the facilities truly lived up to the resort’s 5-star rating. The food was varied and of excellent quality – I had never eaten so well at a buffet before!
One of the strongest points was the kindness of the staff. Our assistant Banu gave us a warm welcome and was attentive to us at all times. We are very grateful for all her dedication and for helping us with everything we asked for.
We also can’t forget our friend Moosa, who took care of our room throughout the day and kept it impeccably clean and tidy. We also met Hassan at the Loabi Bar, who looked after us wonderfully every day and offered us a romantic dinner we will never forget. The dinner was served by Henri and Victor, who did a fantastic job.
In conclusion, I hope to return soon to this wonderful resort where we had an amazing time, and where all the staff felt like family during our stay. We’re going to miss you all very much!

We stayed at Cocoon Maldives from March 31st to April 9th, and it was a truly unforgettable experience from start to finish.
The journey began with a complimentary seaplane transfer from Malé, which already gave us a taste of the beauty awaiting us. While waiting for the flight, we were welcomed at the Cocoon Lounge in the seaplane terminal, which made the wait relaxing and comfortable.
We initially stayed in a Beach Suite Villa (No. 220) — a beautiful and spacious room with direct access to an amazing stretch of beach. The room was always kept spotless, thanks to the excellent cleaning service.
A special mention goes to Banu, the lovely lady who took care of us during our entire stay. She managed everything with great attention to detail and was able to upgrade us for one night to a Water Villa (No. 414) — an absolutely stunning experience we will never forget.
The staff at the main restaurant were incredibly kind and attentive. Chefs Mr. Ugaya and Mr. Jai always made sure we had delicious food, and even offered special options for our kids, which we really appreciated. Our regular waiters, Mr. Hittey and Miss Sakshi, always had our table ready — complete with high chairs and everything set up perfectly for our little ones. On our wedding anniversary, they even organized a beautifully decorated table, which was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture.
Overall, Cocoon is a beautiful, intimate island with powdery white sands, crystal-clear waters, and genuinely warm and attentive staff. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and family-friendly Maldivian escape. They offer a nice kids club and events like baling biscuits and mini disco

We’ve been to the Maldives several times, but this resort stood out the most. The food, location, and atmosphere were simply perfect. We would especially like to thank Adda and Nauf for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. They were always responsive to our questions and requests, organizing everything for us, which was incredibly convenient. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!🤗

Our stay at the resort was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was stunning, the service was top-notch, and every moment felt special. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. A huge thank you especially to Baash, Riyaz, and Ibbe you truly made our experience unforgettable with your warmth and hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

Despite some initial issues with the restaurants during our stay at Cocoon Maldives, the staff were very responsive and offered effective solutions that left us satisfied in the end. Special thanks to Riyaz, who was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The excursion we joined was excellent, and the equipment provided for snorkeling, kayaking, and other water activities was of great quality and well maintained. One area for improvement would be the buffet, which at times felt a bit overcrowded. Overall, a positive experience in a beautiful setting.

Everything about this resort is a beautiful memory we cherish everyday, Our amazing stay at Hakura Huraa resort is truly one of the best stays we ever had in our traveling life.
Food in here should specially need a mention as it gets better on every meal. we have only spent one day at this resort and just for that one day we have collected so many beautiful memories.
Service - Main restaurant is located few minutes away from the water villas but the pathway leads to the restaurant was something that no one gets tired of passing by.
Staff- Staff was exceptionally nice as they greet on the spot everywhere we meet, special mention goes to service staff of the main restaurant for providing an above and beyond service eveytime. Fulu our waiter was really nice and always aware about our preferences even we stood for a such a short period. Also thanks goes to Nimesh as well for the smile and kind words he share with us on every meal.
Entertainment - Entertainment are varied as we only could enjoy quiet few, but as i see there are so many entertainment options available for the long staying people.
Rooms - Rooms are very nice even though it gets a bit warm at the noon but its understandable with the heat in Maldives.
Overall a great hotel would recommend to anyone who is planning to go for a vacation.

It was a nice and memorable stay that we had in Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa. The staff were really nice & friendly and very helpful to us during our stay.
Receptionists were really nice and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and also was really helpful during our stay.
The main restaurant had a nice atmosphere and food was fabulous. Special Thanks to Nimesh who always welcomed us with a bright smile and also for looking after us every time. He was really nice and helpful. And thank you to all other staff in restaurant for giving us a best service possible.
Highly recommended hotel if you're looking for an escape from your busy life. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.

They try but don’t deliver. I have been to the Maldives 3 times (this was the third one), and I have never been so disappointed. The water is dirty, and you can’t swim from the water villa either due to currents or to tide (see photo) - in the morning and the evening literally there’s no water. In the middle of the atoll there is the staff accommodation where they actively burn garbage, and the generator makes noise 24/7. The rooms are the same you can find in Cuba in terms of maintenance (but at least there’s the embargo in Cuba…): the ceiling is a tent, so when the sun rises you have to wake up, and the walls are empty, so you can hear every neighbor talking - very private! The staff consists of people who are not hospitality professionals, they just happen to be on the island. At the buffet (there’s only one restaurant) half of the stands are unattended, the reception never knows what you ask, the service at the pool is totally random (I still don’t know wether there is or there isn’t table service at the pool area). Lastly the staff don’t know how to interact with customers, I was checking out and asked for a drink while willing to pay for it (not for free), and the guy at the pool bar told me it wasn’t possible (please note here that I had to wait like 1hr before the boat transfer after the check out time). So I go to the reception and ask, I go back to the pool asking again for a drink and how to pay for it, and the guy rudely told me that he couldn’t serve anything to me and dismissed me. At that point I call the food manager, who should be doing and other job since he denied the fact from happening, while not being there (amazing!), but luckily the hotel manager fixed the situation.
I don’t know how this place can have only positive reviews, either the hotel manages to find people who haven’t travelled to a single destination in their life or I can’t explain it.
On a side note, we went dolphin watching and the hotel staff emptied coke and other cans in the sea…
Thylane Cochard
The location was great.We came for the first time to maldives and i really enjoyed ta hakurra with my family. The food was amazing. The hk team made sure our room was clean and thanks to the team. Special mention to srijana from reception for making sure we are comfortable and she helped us alot. We shall côme again soon ,thanks cinnamon team.
Antonio
We love this hotel, is very beautiful and comfortable. The island is a paradise. The staff is so kind and solve to you any dude or requeriment. We have had an inforgetable holidays. Special mention to our waiter Shifaz, he made sure we were comfortable and well looked after. Also the cooks were so kind, we need a vegetarian gluten free diet and they were always concerned about meeting our needs and allergies. Thank you.
In the spa the massage was amazing! The best in our life. For my wife and me was and incredible exprience, very relaxing and the staff was very kind. We loved our therapist Yuli and Tera. We highly recommend!!

Nicolas Subra
So many good things to say about this hotel. Thank you for welcoming us. We felt at home because of the warmth of the staff.
We’re both vegan and the kitchen staff was so nice with us, they prepared special food for us everyday (even if there is a lot of vegan options already available in the buffet). 🌱
There is many baby sharks close to the beach. It’s an amazing show to see everyday. 🦈
The reef around the island and in front of the watervilla is truly amazing. Many corals, fishs, and we saw a ray. 🐠
The gym has an amazing view. It’s really good to train there. 🏋🏼
I also really recommend to try some watersport activities, cheaper than in many other places in Maldives…and so worth it. We did the Jetski Dolphin Safari and saw more than an hundred. It was so magical.
Hope to come back soon. 🙏🏻
Regina
We are currently staying here and unfortunately, the experience has been very disappointing. We waited over an hour for a basic iron and called the reception three times — nothing was done. The staff is rude and unfriendly, and it feels like they genuinely don’t want to work with people. If that’s the case, they shouldn’t be in hospitality, where they end up ruining guests’ vacations. We didn’t come here for a free stay — we paid expecting comfort and respectful service, not constant unpleasant attitudes and ignored requests. Would not recommend.

Well, it's the Maldives, so obviously beautiful. This was our second Maldivian holiday, and the Maldives are great; the sea, the colours, etc. are wonderful. But this island and resort had some aspects we didn't like. We paid a premium price for its eco credentials on a full board basis but discovered that the resort found ways to charge for every little thing. My husband was upset when they charged us for water at our first dinner. When he queried this, the server laughed at him. My husband asked what was funny, but we accepted that something was probably lost in translation. I enquired at reception the next day about this charge and was told all drinks were chargeable and all were priced in USD, so not cheap. I think it was over 6 USD for 2 glasses of water! All trips, snorkelling, food in other bars, etc. were also pricey unless you had also bought all inclusive premium at 100 USD per night per person extra! Having bought full board we, and I guess it's mine or my agent's misunderstanding, hadn't realised we would be incurring extra charges for the full package. Their pricing policy could be clearer. I personally found the island too big; there is a lot of walking. My mobility is not great, and some of the sand paths were challenging. My mobility was mentioned to the reception staff when checking in, but in the event we were placed on the polar opposite side of the island, not great. We were having to walk about 4 miles a day, in the heat, just to eat, visit a bar, or go to reception - personally, this was too much for me. We wanted to do snorkelling, so I enquired about joining the guided reef swim. We are not confident snorkellers and not young, so I thought this was the best option and told the centre guy this, including my mobility issue. However, when the guide arrived, this info was not passed on. The guide did not count the number of participants and set off at pace, at the front, chatting away to some obviously experienced snorkellers. After 5 minutes walking, we could no longer see the guide, and we asked another participant where we were actually going as the guide had not told us. By the time we reached the spot, the rest of the group were in the sea, and no assistance was available to us to get kitted up. I found getting flippers on in the sea a challenge. By the time we were ready, the party were already well out over the reef, and we didn't feel we could safely catch them up, so aborted the attempt for our own safety. I was particularly upset as I had been looking forward to what I thought was an escorted outing. We thought this attitude to safety was very poor. The guide had no idea of how many were in the party (is this safe?), and neither the dive centre nor the guide checked our ability or mentioned that it was solely for experienced snorkellers. No one followed this up for us, ie. asked if we'd enjoyed it or in the event even participated. My husband complained to no avail. This ruined our day. No care was shown to us at all. I was very upset about this. We also booked on the traditional dhoni boat sunset cruise. The info showed a picture of a beautiful traditional boat. However, in reality, this was not the case. It was an old boat, fibreglass, diesel, and very smelly. There was no gang plank and the gap from the jetty to alight the boat, was quite a jump, a challenge for me. Once underway, the doorways on both sides had no safety chains and were open to the sea, so I didn't dare move. Plus, the windows were high, so my viewing was restricted. The stairs to the top deck for better viewing were right at the back of the boat. Even my husband didn't fancy risking his safety because if you fell, you'd be directly over the prop as there was no safety rail. Very dangerous. All in all, we found the resort's duty of care to its residents and customers, very poor and individual staff members nonchalant when this was pointed out to them. As I said at the beginning of this review, it's the Maldives so beautiful, but we found this resort over commercialised and lacking in care. I wouldn't book here again.

Really great resort. Food exceptional, water villas well worth the money. Simply paradise.
Val Giddings
Had an over water villa, fantastic views 511 great location.The fishes are so colourful and they love being fed bread, plus so many fruit bats. Food was best food I've ever had in any resort, staff r so friendly and polite, AI is fine, enough selection of drinks.
Only downfall is transfere getting off the island we opted to pay extra and get a sea plane otherwise u have to leave about 3am.
I don't think personally it is very good for children they would get bored safety is good though.
I would definitely go to that resort again

From the moment we arrived at Kudafushi Resort and Spa, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and belonging. Never before have we felt so genuinely welcomed while on holiday – this place truly has a magic of its own.
The beach is nothing short of world-class – breathtakingly beautiful and serene. But what truly sets this resort apart is the incredible staff. Every single team member is friendly, attentive, and full of heart. We have never encountered such kindness and hospitality anywhere else.
We would especially like to highlight a few remarkable individuals who made our stay even more unforgettable. First and foremost, Alessio – our dedicated host. He greeted us with a smile each morning, took the time to chat with us, and addressed our every need with genuine care and attention.
Next, we must sing the praises of the resort’s exquisite cuisine. A heartfelt thank you goes to Shajib, the all-rounder and grill master, and Mizan, the absolute pasta king. Both are not only incredibly talented chefs, but also truly lovely people with hearts of gold.
The waitstaff and housekeeping team also deserve special recognition – each one of them went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Friendly, respectful, and always smiling – simply outstanding.
We’re are already counting the days until we can return to this very special place, surrounded by such wonderful people.

We had the most incredible experience at Kudafushi for our honeymoon in the Maldives. The hotel is absolutely stunning, in a beautiful island with vibrant marine life everywhere you look.
The staff were beyond attentive and charming—special mention to Louis, who went above and beyond to take care of us. Her attention to detail and kindness made our stay unforgettable.
And the food—WOW. We didn’t expect to eat so well! There were so many options and all of them very delicious and fresh.
We can’t recommend Kudafushi enough, and we can’t wait to be back! A true paradise!!!
Renan Sena
I had an absolutely amazing week at Kudafushi with my wife! The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We went on the Dolphin and Turtle trips, and both were unforgettable. Snorkeling was incredible—we saw so many colorful fish, including baby sharks!
The cleanliness of the resort was impeccable, and the food was both delicious and diverse, with plenty of options to choose from. The staff were exceptionally attentive and kind, always ready to help.
A special thanks to Saamir, whose assistance truly made our stay even more memorable. His help was invaluable, and we’re so grateful for his incredible hospitality.
Kudafushi is a paradise, and we can’t wait to come back!

Kudafushi Resort was an absolute paradise! Stunning views, luxurious amenities, and top-notch service. Manager Marta made our stay exceptional—always attentive and accommodating to our needs. One of the highlights was launching my drone from two unique spots: the resort’s deck by security and a nearby desert island we reached by jet ski. Captured some breathtaking shots that made the trip even more unforgettable. Highly recommend Kudafushi for anyone looking for a perfect Maldivian getaway!
Natallia Remarchuk
My mum and I enjoyed a lot staying in paradise island! The sea is beautiful and warm, island pretty picturesque and service is just the top. Unfortunately we had 2 completely rainy days but I was aware it may be not such a good time to go to Maldives. Nevertheless we had best time and enjoyed this vacation. We spend half days in beach villa and enjoyed the design and open bathroom with palm trees around. Half in the water villa was nice as well. I am really not sure what I would choose as the vibe is really different. We liked themed dinners as the food could vary every day which is kind of nice as you go every day to the same place. Mexican and Mediterranean restaurants are also very nice although due to the weather we couldn’t eat at the beach. I would suggest that during rainy days the hotel could organise some activities but anyway, we spend nice also those. Our favourite place was bar close to Mexican restaurant, we came there often just to read at the sofas and enjoy tranquility and view. I was previously at two other resorts in Maldives and have to say this one is great considering quality/price. I only wish reef would be a bit more alive, but we still spend lots of hours exploring it.

This was a bucket list destination, and it didn't disappoint in terms of its beauty and scenery. It was quite the journey to get here, but ultimately worth it. The resort itself is a thing of beauty, just like the pictures. The staff is incredibly helpful, and the rooms at the resort are exactly what you see as advertised. This is a very remote island, so if you're traveling with a picky toddler, make sure you travel with enough of whatever they like. The food, on the other hand, was lacking for my palette. I understand they cater more towards the crowd that visits them more often, but I expected a bit better. Carry a travel size hot sauce bottle with you, IYKYK🙃. But, the gentleman that made the Naan bread (incredible stuff!) at Flavour made our dinners more tolerable. I would say that breakfast was acceptable on most days we were there.
Like I said, this is a remote island resort, and it's for total R&R. They offer some water activities, if interested, but most of the time you'll be enjoying your time in the beach or pool. Oh! They also offer a playroom and mini Waterpark-ish for kids which was nice for my toddler.
Overall, it's a great place for total relaxation!

We went with the water villa, all inclusive plan.

SriDee Vision
A great escape for a quiet holiday. The staff are friendly. We definitely recommend this place! Lots of activities at the resort. The restaurants cater to everyone. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

An absolutely amazing stay at Kandima Hotel Maldives! Everything was just perfect from start to finish. The food was outstanding – a huge variety and top quality. The beach is breathtaking, and the service is exceptional.
A special highlight was the Kids Club – a huge thank you to Gigi and her team! You are truly amazing and made our kids’ stay unforgettable.
But the heart and soul of the resort is definitely Manager Lucie. She is simply the best! Not only is she warm and welcoming, but she also made sure that every problem was solved quickly and efficiently. Her dedication, kindness, and attention to detail truly make a difference. Lucie, you are amazing!
We will definitely be back – highly recommended!
Thank you so much ! Selina and family from berlin

To sum up our honeymoon at the Adaaran prestige water villas we would say : OUTSTANDING , 1st class 5+* service , luxury indulgence. From the moment we got to Male airport we knew we were in for an amazing trip. And what a wonderful and memorable holiday it was!
Arriving at the airport in Male, the organisation of our transport to the island was excellent and we were really well looked after on the speedboat and domestic flight. It was such an awesome experience.
Our Butler Clovie (the only female butler) was incredible- she took care of everything for us , from getting us as many pina coladas whilst we relaxed by the amazing pool, to booking a sunset cruise to running me to the doctor to get some medication I needed. She was wonderful and gave us first class service. We wish her all the best in her endeavours - she will go far !!
The water villa restaurant was like a michelin fine dining experience every night - made even more special with the service given by Nihad- our amazing waiter. He was consistently professional yet warm and friendly cracking jokes too: we really hope Nihad and Clovie get the recognition they deserve and continue to do amazing things at Adaaran. A big thanks also to Moosa who kept our room spotless day and night.
We met many repeat guests- who have been going back to Adaaran for many years and I can see why. We are definitely going to return.
Thank you to Adaaran Meddupparu Water Villa for the best honeymoon experience we could have every wished for

We absolutely loved our recent holiday at Adaaran Meedhupparu. Highly recommend for everyone, whether that be for couples or family. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, but special mentions need to go to Keppi (pool bar) and Lamyae on reception. Keppi was the most happy and friendly bar man ever. He remembered everyone’s name and made everyone feel very welcome and just made you smile all day. Also Lamyae, who looked after us all, especially our two boys. Made us feel like VIP’s and was extremely helpful all the time. Made our holiday that extra special. Thank you

Fabulous experience! We absolutely loved everything from start to finish. Stunning island! Our butler Clovie was attentive and kept us informed about what was going on, on a daily basis. She took great care to ensure we didn’t miss a thing, before passing on to Addhu. Unais who looked after our villa room, also excellent, making sure our stay was even more special and comfortable than it already was. Water Villa food was delicious, service and attention to detail exceptional. Afternoon tea, canapés…yum!
Chef Pradeep took time to make sure that our meals were perfect! Ifaau was also great during our stay! Loved it! Floating breakfast a highlight!! Would highly recommend Adaaran Water Villas

From the moment we landed at Malé Airport, we felt like a part of the Adaaran family. The warmth of the welcome, along with the kindness and smiles of every staff member we encountered, made our stay truly special. Everything was seamless—no issues at all. The cleanliness of the resort and the quality of the food were excellent.
Words hardly do justice to the breathtaking beauty of the beach and the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island—it was like stepping into a dream. We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay, and we’d especially like to thank Vernon for his genuine friendliness and attentive care.
This holiday was a wonderful escape for me and my sister, and the memories we made in the Maldives will stay with us forever.
Emily De Beer
We had the most amazing experience. Everything from the amazing buffet, breakfast had all the options you can imagine, healthy options too. The number of restaurants around the island meant you wouldn’t get bored of the menus which is great when you’re staying in one place for the whole holiday. We were able to snorkel off the beach from our room and we saw manta rays, star fish, turtles, an octopus and lots of big fish. The pool was also so nice, with a bar and our barman Naseer was excellent. He was so friendly and was great to see him whenever he was on shift.

A Slice of Paradise – 7 Unforgettable Days on Summer Island, Maldives
From the moment we arrived at Summer Island, we were swept into a tropical dream. The beauty of this place is beyond words—turquoise waters, powdery white sands, and lush greenery made every moment feel like a postcard come to life.
Our villa was spotless, cozy, and perfectly positioned with stunning views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and watching sunsets from our deck was pure magic. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, always greeting us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality.
The food was another highlight—every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We especially enjoyed the beachfront dinners under the stars, which were both romantic and delicious.
There were plenty of activities to choose from—snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs, sunset cruises, and peaceful spa treatments that left us feeling completely rejuvenated. But what we loved most was simply relaxing, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the peaceful, laid-back vibe of the island.
Our 7-day stay was nothing short of perfect. Summer Island is a hidden gem in the Maldives and we left with hearts full of joy and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to return!
Highly recommended – 10/10!
Bibi Alladin
We stayed for three days on Summer Island and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. This resort prioritize your needs to an individual level. Their attention to detail was uncompromising with cleanliness, overall environment and amenities. There are so many options for foods and drinks, we are from around the world. The staff is respectful, friendly and always welcoming and ready to help with anything you need. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is locally owned and a female led business. We are super impressed! We will definitely return.
Dee G
A great place to stay, will visit again soon.
An island you can stay for a long vacation to relax and unwind, the amenities are all free (pool, gym, open sea snorkling, courts-badminton, football, table tennis)
Rooms are clean, they will clean your room like twice a day.
All of the employees are respectful, and a happy people.
Lastly ,the Food was great, we had the half board and it was a great deal for us you can only eat twice a day..😀
Marliese
We stayed in a premium bungalow and it was absolutely amazing! The staff were so lovely and extremely helpful. The beaches were stunning, rooms are modern and very comfortable. The two restaurants and bars were great, food was very high quality with lots of different options. The only bad thing about this place is leaving it. Would highly recommend for a dream holiday :)
Andreea Ionica
I have spend 8 nights in the Paradise of Summer Island Maldives and everything was beyond my expectations. Food was delicious with a variety of cuisines: french, italian, mexican etc. My beach bungalow had a nice view of the ocean, really clean like the entire island. Stuff was really friendly, special thanks to those from Nevi Bar and also to the girl from the reception. There is a diving center where I tried turtle and manta ray snorkeling. It was really nice and special thanks to Ben.
The only think that needs improvement is the spa.. the massage I had wasn't the best and the girl that was at the spa reception is not that friendly with customers.
I will recommend the island to everyone that needs to spend few days in this paradise of Maldives.
Thanks,
Andreea😊

An unforgettable stay in paradise!
We had the pleasure of spending 8 wonderful nights at Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives, and we were absolutely thrilled! From the very first moment, we felt welcomed and completely at ease. The resort is not only stunningly beautiful and perfectly located – a true picture-perfect paradise – but also shines through its incredibly friendly and attentive staff.
A special thank you goes to Mubarak, our waiter, and Jameel from housekeeping. Both took excellent care of us with professionalism, warmth, and dedication, always with a smile.
However, one person truly found a special place in our hearts: Hameesh, the waiter with the biggest heart and the most positive energy we’ve ever encountered in all our travels. His genuine kindness, humor, and uplifting spirit made each day unique and memorable. Hameesh alone would be reason enough for us to return to Cinnamon Velifushi at any time!
The food was delicious and varied, the rooms beautifully furnished, very clean, and well-equipped. The entire resort is well-maintained, peaceful, and idyllic – the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back!
Afaf Semmour
Best place ever. Staff is the best staff ever met. Big thank you to Prasad, Hameesh, Rahish, Shamen and the great ladies of the spa and all workers in the resort. Hansani you’re a lovely girl ♥️ We felt so loved, we really appreciated the care you had for everything in this place, everyone is so committed to this heaven. Rooms are amazing, clean and comfortable, food is amazing (also Italian pasta and pizza were very good 😃😃). Hope to see you again ♥️
Elisa Montalto
wow! everything was perfect we really enjoyed our holiday. we visited the local islands together with Saiid. he gave us so much information about his island and culture. we enjoyed it so much and are happy that we could do this with Saiid. Our service was done by Shameem he had an eye for detail. always smiling always friendly. After 2 days we didn't have to say what we wanted to drink because he knew this perfectly! We will miss Shameem so much! we snorkeled with turtles and dolphins together with Oppo and Maamu this was a once in a life time experience. He knew all the good spots and guided us super well!
We will miss EVERYONE so much, thank you for everything!

A very pleasant stay, the Cinnamon Velifushi met and exceeded all our expectations. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were very varied and excellently prepared. Our water bungalow was spacious, and the advantage of diving directly into the reef from the veranda was unique. The entire resort is very clean and in excellent condition. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. Many thanks to our waiter, Muje, for his outstanding service.
Michele Caruso
A paradise. My wife and I had a perfect vacation. The photos on social media are absolutely accurate. We stayed in a sunset-view bungalow with a private jacuzzi and direct access to the coral reef. The sandy beach has crystal-clear water, just like a pool. Beneath the surface, an aquarium of incredible fish unfolds.
I recommend the all-inclusive package, which includes main meals and an open bar from 9 AM to midnight. The food is of good quality, with delightful pastries. Perhaps the only downside was a bit too much garlic (I don’t like it).
The staff is kind, helpful, but never intrusive. The excursions to see sharks and dolphins are highly recommended. The spa is also an experience worth having.

A Memorable First International Family Trip at Holiday Inn Kandooma Maldives Resort. Travel date 17th to 21st April 2025.
Our first international family trip was nothing short of spectacular, and choosing Holiday Inn Kandooma Maldives Resort was undoubtedly the right decision. This resort stands out for its exceptional services, making our stay truly unique and unforgettable.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a personal touch, warmth, and a comforting feeling that made us feel right at home. The staff at the resort were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Special thanks to Ms. Amina, Mr. Shivang, and Ms. Anushka (with her beautiful smile) at the front desk, as well as manager Mr. Shamim for their outstanding hospitality.
The restaurant team deserves a huge thank you for their quick service and meticulous attention to detail, especially when it came to catering to our kids. We are particularly grateful to Mr. Bala, Mr. Ranjit, and Mr. Bhoopathi for their exceptional service.
Holiday Inn Kandooma Maldives Resort provided us with an unforgettable experience, making our first international family vacation truly special. I strongly recommend other guest to visit Holiday Inn Kandooma Resort for its exceptional services. My Best Wishes to entire team!!!
Matt Błażejewski
I booked a stay at this property because it was the only one that accepted IHG loyalty points and what an incredible decision it was to call this resort home for five unforgettable nights. Even before we arrived, I was in touch with Shaan and Luca at the Dive Team along with Sravani and Prahbath in the Reservations Team. Their email responses were quick, informative, and kind, a telling sign of what we would experience upon arrival.
Pickup information at the airport was communicated clearly and the boat transfer was easy. We were even allowed to check into our gorgeous room early and loved meeting more of the staff, including General Manager Mark and Reservations team superstar Selena, at a members only cocktails night on the Thursday evening of our stay there. Every staff member greeted us enthusiastically and made us feel right at home.
Scuba diving with the dive team was by far the highlight of my trip. The boat crew fully prepared our gear, reminded us regularly about our safety checks, and even shared photos and videos that they took while we were underwater. We were able to see sea turtles, sharks, eagle rays, and even a sleeping nurse shark--what an incredible destination! If you can visit before 31 December 2025, try your best to take advantage of the Dive Program that Mark has created for diving enthusiasts.
Every employee at this property should be commended for their legendary service, friendliness, and professionalism. While I don't often return to the same destination, this property is one for which I would certainly make an exception.
It was a dream come true to visit the Maldives and stay with Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma—paradise on earth!

Disappointing Experience Despite a Stunning Location
We were really looking forward to our stay, mainly because of the hotel’s beautiful location and the stunning beach – and that truly was the highlight. The surroundings are well maintained and generally clean, which gives a good first impression.
However, that’s unfortunately where the positives end. We had booked an all-inclusive package, but quickly realized that many things were not actually included. It was especially frustrating to find that à la carte dishes were still chargeable, and the minibar came with extra costs, even though it contained the same drinks available during the day as part of the all-inclusive offer.
The buffet was repetitive and lacked variety, with food quality that did not match the standards of a resort in this price range. What stood out the most in a negative way was the service: while the staff was polite, they were extremely slow. Drinks took ages to arrive, were often forgotten, and even when the restaurant wasn’t busy, we had to remind them multiple times of our orders. Tables were never cleared, and we always had to ask for a clean one ourselves.
To make things worse, the activities offered at the resort were extremely overpriced, especially when compared to other resorts in the Maldives. Even though we repeatedly pointed out these issues to the staff and management, nothing ever changed. The hotel seems to lack any kind of system, structure, or quality control.
Bottom line: This hotel relies entirely on its breathtaking location. Everything else – from service to food to transparency about the all-inclusive package – falls far short of expectations. Not recommended for travelers seeking more than just a beautiful beach.
Omar Khan
Was a terrific holiday.
Aimal was a terrific host, doctor and friend.
While swimming with the sharks and fishing I made a friend for life in Dawood! (A must try)
The food was excellent, great options and excellent hospitality.
Special mention to Sajid, Ayaan and Ravindra for looking out for us.
Overall excellent experience!
hamza madhoun
The island is beautiful with amazing views, but overall, my experience at Holiday Inn Kandooma was disappointing.
I stayed in a beach villa with two bedrooms, which was spacious and comfortable. The room itself was great, with a beautiful view and plenty of space to relax. However, the rest of the experience didn’t live up to expectations.
When we arrived, we weren’t offered any welcome drink—not even water. We asked for some and were told “later,” which felt unwelcoming. Meanwhile, we saw a full setup with drinks prepared for other guests who hadn’t even arrived yet. It felt like we were rushed off to our room without any proper welcome.
One day, while eating next to the swimming pool, we were told we weren’t allowed to eat there. This was frustrating, especially since it was a place where many other guests were eating. I came to this resort to relax, but the staff made it difficult for me to do so.
I was on a half board plan, and the food was good—lots of variety and tasty. However, the overall customer service needs a lot of improvement. From being told we couldn’t eat where we were seated to the lack of hospitality at check-in, it felt like the staff didn’t prioritize guest comfort.
I don’t think I’ll be returning to this resort, as the service really affected my experience, even though the island itself is beautiful.

My husband and I have stayed here for 4 days, and it was truly an exceptional experience from every perspective. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the service remained flawless throughout our stay.
We stayed in the Beach Pool Villa for 2 nights and it was stunning, peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly maintained. The genuine hospitality, cleanliness, and kindness of every staff member we encountered made the experience more special.
A special mention goes to Mahdi, our island host, who assisted us with everything. He was very helpful and met all our needs and concerns.
ankush singla
I visited this place for 4 nights with my wife and a 1.5 year old kid. My experience was amazing. Resort is beautiful, views are amazing and staff was really helpful. Food was good as well. Best thing was in villa dining for infant food, which really eased feeding our baby and elevated our experience.
I would highly recommend this resort, especially if you are traveling with small kids.
Jay Bastia
Villa Nautica Maldives offers an exceptional island getaway with stunning overwater villas, crystal-clear lagoons, and top-notch amenities. The property itself is breathtaking, with beautifully maintained beaches and luxurious accommodations that make for a dream vacation. Most of the staff are warm, attentive, and eager to make your stay unforgettable. The views are incredible the suite we stayed in was the best with direct views of corrals and number of fishes to look for great for that best for snorkeling
However, the service experience at the Lagoon Restaurant could use some improvement. service persons were noticeably less courteous and seemed disinterested, which stood out against the otherwise impeccable hospitality throughout the resort. That said, this was a minor hiccup in an otherwise outstanding experience.
Fiona Naik Hueckelheim
Villa Nautica is a beautiful resort. Most of the staff are friendly abd always greeting you when they see you I want to make a special mention about the spa. I had a massage done by Sinchoo it was really lovely. She is definitely an asset to Villa Nautica. I found the treatments a bit too pricey though. The photographer Firudos was really good. He did not just take pictures but helped us create memories. To the lovely Hostesses at the restaurant who so warmly welcomed us at every meal Thank you. Most of the restaurant staff where great . A special thank you to Anwar who made our room very comfortable and clean. Helping me when I locked myself out of the room lol. The entertainment was also fun .This was a really lovely relaxing time away . We will definitely be back.
paper boy2
Just stayed at this resort for 8 nights with my wife and 1 year old under the all inclusive package, the resort is stunning view wise with gorgeous beaches and good sea life. I have to say the buffet food gets very very old after 3/4 days it’s very repetitive and taste is not up to 5 star standard, service at the captains bar can be very slow but a overall 7/10 stay

MARIA SHMIDT
I had a truly unforgettable stay at this beautiful resort in the Maldives. One of the highlights was the food — it was absolutely delicious and impressively diverse. Every day, the chefs surprised us with new dishes and creative presentations that made each meal exciting and unique. The service throughout the resort was exceptionally attentive, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for.
A special mention goes to the Arabian restaurant — the flavors were incredible, and it quickly became one of my favorite dining spots during the stay.
I stayed in a water villa and want to personally thank Rajan, our housekeeper, for his outstanding service. He kept the villa spotless, replaced the towels regularly, and thoughtfully provided an extra bottle of water when he noticed I drank a lot. It’s the little details like this that make a big difference.
Delphine B
Very nice resort. Water is beautiful and warm, the place take care of everything. Transfer between airport and the resort is quiet and peaceful. The food is good and the Watervilla are very comfortable.
It's nice to be able to take a swim from your villa!
The workers are all very nice and always eager to help. Thanks to Rajan for his kindness.
Виталий Виталий
I was vacationing here with a girl at the end of April 2025. The island is located close to Male, it takes 20 minutes to get to it by water, so an hour after arrival we were already there. The food is varied, alcohol is imported, high-quality, and there is plenty of everything. The sunset view from the villas is a special pleasure. I would like to mention the room cleaning separately - our service man -Shorip - did a great job, reacted sensitively to all our requests, waited for us to get ready and kept the room at the ideal frequency.
A great hotel, I definitely recommend it!
Val Wairimu
The resort was generally good, they try to have a variety of activities to keep the guests entertained during their stay. The service was great from the restaurants, bar men, diving staff - they were very pleasant. The ocean view rooms are a great option and give you value for money because you have your private beach. Some recommendations include improving the internet speeds and coverage, consider providing fair rates for the water sports and diving activities. Also more variety with the restaurant options would be a great idea.
Ruby Shaji
This is no less than a paradise .Right after your exit from airport ,at the counter of the resort we are taken care of, till they drop us back at Airport. Once you reach the resort in a speed boat, you are welcomed there by assigned staff ,after the formalities ,taken to room in a buggy.
We had booked over water villa with full board for 3 days.It was such a wonderful experience, in the midst of turquoise blue water, almost 4 to 5 colour gradients, as you gaze further away until you see deep blue at the farthest end , that too like a line drawn between them ,so that we come to know ocean is deep where you see deep blue.
Without under water walking, you are lucky here to get that view ,as water is crystal clear, pristine , has coral reefs with beautiful fishes moving around. White sand is another attraction.
Rooms are spacious ,well maintained, neat, ample space in bath area, rain coats, life jackets placed there. Variety of tasty food, delicious choice of desserts, restaurants with meticulous arrangements. Poolside restaurant ,pleasing, welcoming ,helpful staff needs special mention. 3 days flew like hours, as you are staying in the property you get enough time to enjoy the nature ,sunset ,sunrise, fabulous, unbelievable reflections on water.
Of all the countries we have visited till now ,this was the best experience.The night before we left ,the details of timings about luggage pick up ,time of boat etc was kept in our mail box. Everything is well planned & executed -
A must learn lesson for tourism.
Happy that we met HR Manager Mrs .Nishadee incidentally at Shark feeding area. So I could gift a painting done by myself during our stay & Books written by my husband for the library ,which was handed over to guest Manager from Vietnam.They were so kind enough to come over to see us off .
We thank each & every staff for being so cordial .

We just got back from an incredible one-week stay at Angsana Velavaru for our honeymoon, and we’re already missing it! Everything was beyond perfect. From the moment we landed, we were taken care of — smooth transfer from the airport and a warm welcome at the hotel.
The island is absolutely beautiful, and the resort is spotless and perfectly maintained. The staff were amazing — always smiling, helpful, and genuinely kind. They made us feel at home every single day.
There were plenty of fun activities to enjoy during the day, and the evening entertainment was fantastic! We especially loved the themed buffet nights — a different cuisine every evening, always delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks at the bar were great too, with lots of choice.
We had such a wonderful time and created unforgettable memories. Angsana Velavaru is truly a little paradise. We can’t wait to come back someday! 100% recommend this place — you won’t be disappointed!
Anna Muldner-Panowicz
From the very beginning, the Angsana resort has been a place straight out of the books, the pictures and various tv shows, a reality of a picturesque beauty and serenity. The incredible scales of blues the water reflects is beyond imagination, only brought further by the white sands, local vegetation, and the tropical architecture that is presented by the hotel. It really is the perfect paradise, what with all the different terrestrial, aquatic, and creatures of flight, from fruit bats and sea birds, to crabs and lizards, not to mention the seemingly infinite variety of fish and corals. This Maldivian resort really is the picture of paradise.
However, to really make a resort the perfect holiday destination, it needs something more than a beautiful location; it needs the right kind of crew. For it’s the destination that brings the visitors here, but it’s the staff that makes you want to come back. It’s the people that smile and make you smile, feel happy, and ensure that you feel like you belong there. People that help with no hesitation and really make your holiday as relaxing as possible. Azeez, our house cleaner regularly made our house look new and comfortable. The waiting staff, particularly Lailla, Ijlal, and Appa, and chefs Rohim and Nissanka made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. The diving centers crew, Ahmed junior and Fazeel greatly and diversally showed us the Maldives increadble aquatic bio and hydrosphere through the perspectives of both scuba diving and snorkeling. We are deeply thankful to them for elevating our experience of the Maldives and the Angsana resort from amazing, to an incredible adventure that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

We stayed at Angsana Maldives for 8 nights, and the resort's location is fantastic, situated on a small island. The lagoon is perfect for both relaxing on the beach and snorkeling. Our water villa was amazing, and our villa attendant, Irifaan, was detail-oriented and polite. Thank you, Isabella, at the front desk, for taking care of us during our stay!
Additionally, the staff at the diving center were excellent. They were knowledgeable and courteous, and we enjoyed snorkeling trips where we saw turtles, dolphins, and a whale shark. The food and drinks were delicious, and the team at the poolside bar and Azzurro was outstanding, especially Ajija, Totti, and Ziyan, who showed us exceptional hospitality. This was a memorable experience for our family!
POI POI
Living at Angsana Velavaru has been such an amazing experience! Waking up to those beautiful ocean views every day is just unreal. The team here is super warm, friendly, and always make me feel so welcome. I especially want to give a big shoutout to Ali, Daisy, Noor, and Haisham — they’ve been absolutely wonderful and really made my stay extra special with their kindness and great service. It’s such a lovely, peaceful place to be, and I feel really lucky to call this little island home for now. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Maldives!
Giulia Kastro
We stayed at the Ocean Villa at the end of February. After two days of traveling, we finally arrived at the resort. We were welcomed with a drink, coconut sweets, and a type of dried fish. We arrived around noon, but check-in was only at 2 p.m. We were exhausted and hungry. When we asked if we could have lunch after check-in, the lady who assisted us said we wouldn’t be entitled to it — we were quite upset by that response. Later, it became clear that if we had lunch on arrival, we wouldn’t be entitled to lunch on the day of checkout — their policy. Our package was all-inclusive.
So, if you’re coming from far away, be prepared — the resort won’t provide even a simple sandwich unless you pay for it. We even spoke with the “manager” because we found the first explanation confusing and didn’t quite understand it. In the end, this situation caused some discomfort upon arrival, and considering the price charged, the resort could be a bit more flexible with its guests — even if it was just by offering some snacks in the room since lunch wasn’t included.
Aside from that, the service at the bars and restaurants was very good. The sea was fantastic, the private pool was very clean, and the room service was excellent. There’s no concierge, but the reception staff always asked about our stay and how things were going. We booked a few activities, but unfortunately, it rained on those days, so we ended up enjoying the sea and the pool more.
We managed to book a spa appointment, and it was incredible — the therapists were excellent professionals, and the service was impeccable.

We stayed at Joy Island last month and had a wonderful experience. The resort is new, so the facilities and rooms were exceptionally clean and fresh.
Initially, one of the housekeeping staff members wasn’t performing at their best, but after a few days, a different team member took over, and the cleanliness improved dramatically — everything was spotless afterward.
Our baby had an amazing time at the kids club, enjoying all the activities they had thoughtfully arranged. A very special thanks to Mary, Sandu, and Angel — they were fantastic with our little one and truly made a positive impact on our stay. Mary manages the kids club exceptionally well.
We’d also like to recognize Chilli and Jauzee, two other managers who made our stay even more comfortable, along with Wifag, thank you all for your warm hospitality and genuine welcome!
The variety of food was good, though we hope to see even more options on our next visit. It's clear that the resort team is growing stronger and more experienced each day.
The overall organization and cleanliness of the resort were excellent. My wife and I also tried the spa, which was an unforgettable experience — relaxing while overlooking the beautiful waters.
Thank you, Joy Island, for making our stay such a memorable and enjoyable one. We look forward to visiting again!

We have just spent a truly wonderful week on Joy Island and what a week it’s been. The week has been absolutely perfect in every way.
From the moment of arrival to the island to be greeted by all the staff and the management was so lovely and such a personal touch.
We immediately was greeted by our host Maral who took care of us for the duration of our stay. She was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for her and she checked in with us daily to make sure we were all okay and if we needed anything she was onto it straight away. We were updated daily by whats app with entertainment and excursions information.
The quality and variety of the food and drinks was excellent with a special shout out to our waiters Kudey and naahil. Both were tremendous and our boys loved to see them at meal times. Always happy and smiling and took time to have a friendly chat.
The cleanliness of the island is outstanding and the workers never stop to ensure it is pristine.
The accommodation, we stayed in a beach suite for 6 nights and a lagoon villa with pool for the last night. Both fabulous rooms. Very comfortable and spacious.
Overall we have had a truly outstanding and memorable holiday and stay at Joy Island and most definitely will be returning. We would wholeheartedly recommend this island/resort to anyone considering a stay.
We will miss Joy but have the most amazing memories.

We recently had the most unforgettable stay at Joy Island Maldives, and everything about the experience was simply exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the beauty of the island took our breath away — stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and luxurious accommodations that provided the perfect tropical escape.
A special mention must go to Shahil, our personal point of contact during our stay. He went above and beyond to make our holiday absolutely seamless. From arranging our meals to coordinating housekeeping and attending to every single need we had, Shahil was truly fabulous — attentive, professional, and always a step ahead in ensuring our comfort and happiness.
The accommodation itself was gorgeous — spacious, stylish, and designed to let you soak in the natural beauty of the island. The beaches were pristine and incredibly relaxing, making it almost impossible to leave.
The restaurant and bar staff were equally incredible, always offering warm, friendly service with a smile and making every meal feel special. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were some of the best we've had.
Overall, Joy Island exceeded all our expectations. It was a dream holiday, and much of that was thanks to the wonderful team — especially Shahil — who made sure every moment was perfect. We can't wait to return.

Our stay at Joy Island Maldives was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness, making us feel right at home in this breathtaking paradise. The island’s natural beauty, with its crystal-clear waters, soft white sandy beaches, and stunning sunsets, was simply mesmerizing.
The all-inclusive experience made everything seamless, allowing us to enjoy a variety of amazing food and drinks. The dining options were incredible—Il Basilico served the most delicious Italian dishes, while The Market offered a fantastic selection of international cuisine. We especially loved the themed nights at the beach bar, which added a fun and unique touch to every evening.
One of the highlights of our trip was the snorkeling excursion, where we explored vibrant coral reefs and swam among colorful marine life. The dolphin-watching cruise was another unforgettable experience—we were lucky to see dolphins playfully jumping in the water, making for a truly magical moment!
What truly set Joy Island apart was the exceptional staff who made our stay even more special. A huge thank you to Shahil, Rushdan, Chilli, and Marnie, who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism made us feel so welcomed and cared for.
If you’re looking for a paradise getaway filled with luxury, adventure, and incredible hospitality, Joy Island Maldives is the perfect destination! We can’t wait to come back!
Paul Burden
We had a wonderful family holiday at Joy Island in April 2025. We stayed in a beach villa for the first half of our holiday, but then we were fortunate to be upgraded to an overwater villa for the second half of our stay. Both accommodations were superb - clean and comfortable with spectacular views of the pristine beaches and ocean.
The food in the main Market restaurant was excellent and varied, whilst the availability and choice of drinks within the all inclusive package was very good indeed.
But the main difference between this holiday and others was the service on Joy Island. The staff seem to get a genuine pleasure (and Joy 😉) out of looking after you and making your stay on the island as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Special mentions to Robi our island host who was very helpful and quickly resolved any issue or question that we had, and also to the team who welcomed us into the restaurant each mealtime with huge smiles and genuine warmth.
Overall, we had an unforgettable stay at Joy Island and would not hesitate to return. A huge thank you to all of the team.

What an amazing experience we've had at Ifuru Resort. We highly recommend it and we are hoping to come back very soon!!
My family and I visited Ifuru Resort as a holiday destination during the Easter break, and they did not disappoint. From the time we arrived til the time we left, everything was perfect. The staff were very friendly, always warm and welcoming. We got allocated a Buddy once we arrived on the Island "Suaid" who was also amazing 👏. The atmosphere, food, and service at all the restaurants were always fresh, delicious, well presented and always consistent. The entertainment they provided during our stay was very well-organised and very entertaining
. The pool and beach area were always well maintained and kept very clean. Our rooms were very nice, modern and clean with a beautiful view of the beach. I also wanted to mention the All Stars that work at the resort. They are amazing at what they do to upkeep the overall appearance of the Island.
Thank you, Ifuru Resort, for making our Easter holiday unforgettable!!

Part 1
We stayed at this resort for 12 nights, we have been to the Maldives numerous of times. My experience here was not what we expected, for the money we paid i received terrible pillows that was ridiculous to sleep on, as you’d expect some quality.
All my inclusive offers i had, i never got as the resort refused to give us certain things, i had a spa treatment for 2 and they rejected me even though i showed my booking that it was included. I had these drinks included daily, however they also refused to provide them. Multiple things i had included they refused or never provided them. When you order drinks, it takes up to 20 minutes to receive them, or sometimes forget and have to remind them. Staff wasn’t friendly or helpful with situations that needed to be solved. I didn’t experience friendly staff on this resort. My expectations were very high, until coming here and being let down. The water is beautiful, and this one restaurant was wonderful the Water front, the food here and service here were outstanding, id like to shout out these wonderful people here, Rocky and Sunshine and the all the staff there. WONDERFUL.. When i go to the gym, on the resort this wonderdul staff member named Jigme was so thoughtful, generous and helpful at all times, always happy and smiling.. Great worker… I thought the night life would of been more fun and exciting however, it was a let down, not very entertaining. My room was cleaned daily, and i can’t complain, But my mini fridge was very warm which is disappointing as my drinks were warm, i was constantly ordering ice. Staff didn’t care to fix my fridge. Phone in the room didn’t work and once again no one wanted to help. Lack of toilet supplies and bathroom supplies unless i asked to be restocked. When leaving the resort my flight was at 1pm, however the resort made us leave at 4:30 in the morning which i found ridiculous and not reasonable, even though i paid for that day. I had to sit at Male airport for 4 hours which is disappointing. I tried to speak to staff and they were not helpful at all, or did not want to compromise. I couldn’t even eat breakfast before leaving, they provide us with a takeaway box which was horrible, i ate nothing. I did have a good time here at the Beach club the location was beautiful and water was outstanding, the particular staff there were excellent. However my experience at this resort, i had good and bad times here, which needs to be fixed for other travellers wanting to visit here. I wanted to go on a jet ski, but the prices were crazy high for a limited time on there, close to $400 for 15 - 30 minutes AUS. Btw for any traveller who comes here and smokes the cigarettes are $100 for a 20 pack, INSANE… Prices here were high, my friend ordered small side hot chips and it was $30 that is not normal…
Stefanie L.
Very nice resort with some amazing staff in the Waterfront restaurant, as well as our lovely room boy Krishna, who exceptionally cleaned our room every day - thank you for that!
The Waterfront restaurant: I would like to give a shout out to Mrs. Sunshine and Mrs. Diva - lovely ladies who truly shine with their heart warming service. The chief cook was also wonderful, as he made some dish especially requested by my daughter - which was such a nice thing to do.
The food was very tasty and so well presented. This place, I can highly recommend.
Let's move to the Social House of the Resort, which is also lovely and with nice food. I liked that the dishes are hot, even though can be tricky with how the food is kept in these very heavy containers. For kids too heavy and even a bit dangerous. It was nice that they had not too much of food, rather some varities which was enough. A bit inconsistend here is the service although the service people are nice, but sometimes you had the feeling they are rather tired. Ordering coffee in the morning was some times too slow even though not much people there. And the cleanliness was not on par with a 5 star resort. Lots of stained pillows or chair cushions, tables not clean - this for a 5 star resort is a No go.
We had a family sky room with a connecting door. Very beautiful.
The room had everything you need. Very nice decorated.
The beach and pool - AMAZING!!! Truly picture perfect.
Pool bar nice drinks and staff. But better service at the beach bar :-) The beach snack guy is such a friendly guy and will provide some quick and delicious snacks such as burgers and salad.
When arrived, you get assigned a buddy - I will be honest here, our buddy was non existent unfortunately. Theres one saying: If you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all....
This buddy system seems to me useles.
The manager is a nice guy who can be seen here and there and will greet you when arrived and when you will leave.
Overall: Beautiful resort, but not a consistent 5 star experience. For such a location, one would expect a bit of heart and soul, which is lacking, sadly. There is a true connection missing to the staff and everything seems a bit unpersonal. This is by no means a negative feedback just my personal feeling. Nonethless: The resort can be recommended for holiday.
Diego G-Diaz
My Name is Diego., Ifuru Resort in the Maldives is an absolute paradise that exceeded all my expectations! Beyond 5⭐...From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the management team is not only highly professional but also genuinely passionate about providing an unforgettable experience. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction set the tone for a truly remarkable stay.
The snorkeling center is a highlight, offering breathtaking underwater adventures. The vibrant marine life and stunning coral reefs are easily accessible, making it a must-visit for both novices and experienced snorkelers alike. Each trip felt like an enchanting journey into a world of color and beauty.
The culinary offerings at Ifuru Resort are nothing short of exceptional. Every meal was a delightful experience, featuring a diverse menu that showcased both local flavors and international cuisine. The chefs truly know how to create a feast for the senses, and the drinks were equally impressive—perfect for enjoying while watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean.
Cleanliness is a top priority here, and the resort maintains impeccable standards throughout. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views, making it the perfect retreat after a day of adventure.
The location itself is simply stunning—a true slice of paradise. Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, Ifuru Resort has it all. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist and ensure your stay is nothing short of perfect.
For those seeking a dream wedding location, look no further! The picturesque setting is ideal for exchanging vows, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Maldives.
In summary, Ifuru Resort is a gem that promises an unforgettable experience filled with joy, relaxation, and adventure. I can't wait to return!
Mike Hawkins
For the price paid you were expect higher standards. But the most unpleasant was the other guests being threatening to us in the bar and the staff taking no action, we were told they would be gone in a few days.

My recommendation is not to stay at this resort, they are terrible with how the deal with customer service issues. I have emailed their directors and not had any responses. Even senior directors don’t get back to you.
There are better places to visit and better services. They don’t even have a good beach.
Now i will dispute things which i have recordings off and pictures. Worst experiences of my life.
Laura Vargas
UPDATE: I've contacted the hotel several times since returning home and they only responded once. They said this stuff happens and that there is nothing they could do to help. How about refund some portion of the thousands of dollars we spent at their hotel to make up for the 10k+ that we had to spend as a result of their negligence. My tripadvisor review disappeared, which tells me they have found a way to get bad reviews removed. Our situation happened to several others the day we were traveling, so I'm sure it happens on other days, too, yet you don't say those reviews, which is concerning. Seriously, stay away....
REVIEW: It pains be to write this review because the staff at the resort itself are lovely, but the resort management is horrendous and we are out $10,000+ because of their negligence. This resort offers better prices than other resorts because it is SO FAR AWAY. You need to take an actual domestic flight (Maldivian Airlines), not a sea plane or high speed boat like the other resorts. This means that you are at the mercy of the tiny airline's delays, cancelations, and other issues. The hotel books the flights for you (you have to pay) and you have no control over the schedule or anything. They booked our return flight to Male way too close to our international return flight. That flight got so delayed that we missed our international flight. The hotel representatives handled this in the worst way possible. They initially said they would help us with rebooking and costs incurred, but once we got to Male they said that could not help us in any way. They made us no-shows for our international flight, which meant we couldn't get the money/credit for it, despite it not being our fault. They had reps at the Male airport and had our passport information and knew our flight was delayed, yet, they weren't competent enough to speak to our international airline and make sure they knew we were NOT voluntary no-shows. They cherry on top is that we later learned our international flight was also delayed and we could have made it on the flight if we had gone straight to the ticketing counter. However, the hotel representative told us we missed it, there was nothing we could do, and to go wait in a lounge while they helped us (no help was given). We are still waiting to hear back from them and I will provide an update if so, but so far, they have not taken any accountability.
We live in the US so getting home from the Maldives is not easy, so to have been left stranded there with no way home was horrifying. We ultimately found new flights, but very expensive and out of the way. This was entirely their fault, I would have never booked a domestic flight connecting to an international flight so close, yet they did not allow me to pick the time. They had our international flight information from the time we made the reservation more than six months in advance.
Besides the awful and dangerous return experience, our arrival was also unpleasant. Again, they had our flight information for months. Yet, they booked us on the domestic flight from Male to the resort to be six hours after we arrived. There is nothing to do at or near the Male airport, so we just had to wait six hours and waste an entire day. We got to the resort at night.
The domestic flight is on a small, very old and uncomfortable plane. You can't even fit a regular sized backpack in the overhead bin to give you perspective.
Like I said, the staff that work day-to-day operations at the resort itself are kind and helpful. They took good care of us during the heavy heavy rain and winds that we encountered for most of our stay. They resort is beautiful and spread across two private islands. However, it was not worth the awful travel experience there and back. I hope to hear from them and receive some sort of compensation for their negligence because it is still hard to wrap our minds around how much money, time, and wellbeing we lost as a result of their choices.
Robert Halls
Incredible. The room (water villa) was large and clean with an amazing view (sunset side). The staff were excellent and very helpful with any questions and requests. The food was generally very good: the food was excellent at The Falhumaa (French) and Long Island (Italian), the food was really good with wide variety at the Beach Bars and Dining Rooms. We didn't enjoy the food at Li Bai (Cantonese) despite normally enjoying such cuisine. True luxury
Samantha Skrobot
My husband and I came to the Residence for the ultimate wedding, honeymoon, getaway and we were not disappointed. From arrival to departure, we have zero complaints. Excellent hospitality, excellent food and drink options, and endless opportunities for adventure. The sea life will not disappoint, at all! We did the standard all inclusive and stayed in villa 300. Joynal went above and beyond any need or expectation. And truly our entire experience was beyond expectations. We definitely did not feel like strangers. As for our wedding, we had gloomy days that just didn't fit a 'Maldivian ceremony '. There was no worries waiting for the perfect sunshine day. When that day came, it was a dream come true. We are so incredibly thankful and look forward to seeing our friends at the residence again!
Tula Nguyen
My boyfriend gifted me a trip to the Maldives for my 27th Birthday and I chose The Residence at Falhumaafushi and it couldn't be more perfect. Everything was outstanding from the start. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and incredibly nice. They recognized us by name and knew exactly who we were at the airport when picking us up. They decorated our room like a honeymoon, super romantic and memorable. We stayed at the deluxe overwater bungalow, and the view and location are worth every penny. The food was so delicious as well, from the breakfast buffet to the private dinning on the beach. I wanted to cry when we had to leave but we will definitely come back!! I cannot recommend enough for couples, you will have the best time of your life with your loved one.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 9 day stay here from start to finish! Not a single negative thing to say about this place.
The staff are all very friendly, attentive and helpful. A huge thank you to our room attendant Mahmud who went above and beyond for our room and made our room picture perfect everyday!! The staff at our buffet were spectacular too specifically Delawar who was extremely nice and looked aftered us everyday! The staff really make a world of a difference. Just for this I am looking forward to coming back in the future!

The best honeymoon and birthday experience! Although it rained in the duration of our stay, the entertainment, accommodation, food, and service are top notch! props to the housekeeping team for decorating our water villa and providing cake and wine for our honeymoon and birthday celebration! The SPA experience is the best!

San Siyam Oluveli is located in a truly stunning spot — surrounded by crystal clear blue waters and a pristine beach, it feels like a peaceful, far-off island escape. The natural beauty around the resort is breathtaking and adds so much to the overall experience.
During our stay, we spent some time at the Lagoon Bar and had a lovely experience there. The vibes were amazing, especially in the evening – very calm and peaceful, with great music that put us in a slow, relaxed mood. It gave off that perfect laid-back beach bar feel.
A special shoutout to Alisha from the staff, who took excellent care of us. She was warm, pleasant to talk to, and incredibly friendly with our toddler son – her kindness really stood out. Overall, we had a great time at the Lagoon Bar!
Marta Barbosa
My husband and I just returned from a week holiday at Sun Siyam Olhuveil to celebrate my birthday. We had the most incredible holiday from start to finish. the resort is beautiful and has plenty of pools / beach access. Food and drink options are plentiful you have Thai, Italian, Indian cuisine plus may more options to choose from. We really enjoyed being able to sample all the restaurants at lunch / dinner, my husband and I dread going on an all-inclusive and being stuck with buffet options for breakfast, lunch and dinner but not at the Sun Siyam, we had an array of restaurants to choose from for both Lunch and Dinner options. The resort also offers plenty of activities from Paddle boarding to Kayaking. We were offered a complimentary Dolphin cruise & excursion to the main island. The Dolphin cruise was a wonderful experience! When we returned from the cruise, I had a
a gorgeous birthday cake and room decorations waiting for me it was really touching and emphasised how special this resort is.
The staff are all very attentive and helpful a very big thank you to Raail, who was our island host, he was very helpful at all times and ensured we had a wonderful time. A special thank you to Manisha VA the housekeeper, who does a fantastic job and would visit twice a day to ensure our room was always clean and tidy.
If I had to provide constructive criticism; the resort would benefit from a few more sun loungers this is partially due to people reserving them all day long. Which is no fault of the resorts but mere how people conduct themselves. I would like to emphasis however, when this occurred my husband and I would find any alternative pool / beach area as the resort has 3 islands you can pick from.
We had the greatest time, I shed a tear when the staff waved us goodbye at the end of our holiday. This place is truly wonderful, we are really looking forward to returning in the near future. A huge thank you Sun Siyam for allowing us to have a holiday of a lifetime.

We just came back from Kurumba Resort and all we can say is WOW! Our stay was short as only a lay over before we caught a super yacht but it was amazing. The location is perfect as only 10 minutes by boat straight from the airport. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We had a beautiful room almost on the beach (and right near a little beach bar). The water was pristine and we had snorkeling just a stones throw away. Our favourite spot was the Kandu bar with the staff who we quickly became friends with. Plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from and food was Devine. Only downside was it wasn’t long enough. We will definitely go back if we get the opportunity. Love, love loved it.

Kurumba Maldives - absolutely gorgeous vacation, in a bungalow on the beach, with spectacular views and an air of absolute tranquility and relaxation. Every morning began with the sound of the waves and a dreamy view of the turquoise ocean.
Full moon? A real spectacle on the water.
The bungalow was extremely comfortable, equipped with all the necessary amenities. Going directly to the fine sand and crystal clear water made every day a total treat.
You can find corals and fish of all colors a few steps from the entrance to the water, snorkeling facilities.
The food was absolutely sensational! The varied buffet and the à la carte restaurants offered a special culinary experience.
In addition, the staff was extremely friendly and attentive to every detail, the boat transfer very fast.
Being close to the airport, at certain times, there is more airplane traffic, which was not disturbing for us. The proximity to the main airport can actually be an advantage.
We liked it more than in Seychelles🙂.
I highly recommend this place.
I can't wait to go back!

Our inaugural visit to the Maldives was truly remarkable.
We spent a delightful week here with our family, and I can confidently say that this destination is extraordinary.
The accommodations are stunning, and the dining options are equally impressive.
The fragrant blooms that permeate the air contribute to the enchanting and memorable atmosphere of this paradise.
We are already looking forward to our return!

Our trip was truly outstanding, and my family had an exceptional experience throughout. The warm hospitality and thoughtful surprises went above and beyond our expectations. We are sincerely grateful to the entire staff for making this journey so special, it wouldn’t have been nearly as memorable without your dedication. The location was also a huge plus, being so close to the airport and making travel incredibly convenient.

Superb property, rooms, food, staff and facilities, well honed, many repeat clients over 20 years. Location is a matter of viewpoint, easy 15 min. speedboat access from airport, views from one side of island include Male high rises in the distance, which may detract for some. Wheelchair friendly paths and also buggy service. Ultra safe shallow lagoon around island is superb for swimming, snorkelling-great fish life, rays, small sharks and some corals. Paddle boarding and canoeing. Diving centre staff very friendly and centre is well set up to make diving effortless. If you want to see mantas here make sure to come late in the year, check with centre first, but never guaranteed! Overall package here must be very difficult to beat.

We returned to Maldives after COVID and we chose Banyan Tree again due to the last pleasant experience. And this time we brought our kid and parents with us and they too had a fantastic time. Needless to mention about the reefs near the hotel which was breathtaking and even our young kid got to enjoy the snorkeling to the fullest checking out sharks and all different colorful fish.
Our stay at this Maldives resort was again remarkable, thanks to the extraordinary care and attention from the staff, they went the extra mile to make sure things are well taken care of. Special thanks to Waheed, the hotel manager, whose warm leadership ensured every detail was perfect, and Zendie, the restaurant manager, who made every dining experience delightful and personalized, this definitely helped compensate the quality of the food in the hotel that needs certain improvements. Chef Ann was wonderful and her Thai dishes are one of the best to try on the Island.
We were especially touched by Okta, who went above and beyond to assist us even during her off-duty hours, showing genuine kindness and dedication.
The presence of a clinic on the island also added peace of mind, reflecting the resort’s commitment to guest well-being. My family got an emergency after diving and good to have the help of the in-house doctor to care for him during our stay.
This team’s unmatched hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!
Владимир Сарченко
Great hotel, offering unforgettable experiences. Firstly, it is located only 20 minutes away from the airport when traveling by speedboat. All the staff are incredibly polite and have a great level of english, all of them were great, I just couldn't remember all the names. We received a great welcome from Luu and Harry, which showed us the island and explained how everything works. The food was great, especially the omlette from the chef during the morning breakfast. There is a great variety of activities such as snorkeling around the house reef. For surplus charges, you could try scuba diving, which is a great experience, or go to an excursion to see the manta rays. Both marine lab and marine center offer great activities, such as save the reef from Harry and other staff. You should definitely try the night snorkeling with Chika, which will be the most insane 1 hour of your life. Finally, every 2 hours there is a boat which can carry you to the island nearby, where you can do snorkeling or diving. Definitely recommended this hotel which gave me unforgettable experiences for my whole life
P.s. had fun chatting with Zendie and Chika, they are awesome people 😀.

This wasn’t our first time in the Maldives, but it was the first time we experienced such a truly perfect vacation!
The hotel is ideal, with amazing staff and a special atmosphere.
You get the feeling that the island is entirely yours. We only caught glimpses of other guests during breakfast, lunch, or dinner — it’s absolute privacy.
The villa has everything you need — even beach bags and slippers.
The spa is outstanding — honestly, it was the best massage we’ve ever had on the islands.
The island is small — you can walk around it in 15 minutes at a relaxed pace.
Malé is just a 20-minute boat ride away (but keep in mind — you can see it from the island).
The island is very quiet, and that’s what made it even more special for us. There are no loud entertainment programs — occasionally there’s live music, but it’s quiet and tasteful.
A great bonus is that you can visit the neighboring hotel (Dhawa), with boats running on a schedule every 2 to 2.5 hours.
We were traveling with our child, and she slept on the sofa. Unfortunately, the air conditioner blows directly onto the extra sleeping area, and it's impossible to sleep without it. In the end, we all slept together on the main bed, which was fine — the AC doesn't blow there.
The only drawback for us was the dining structure. Breakfast and lunch were fantastic — everything was fresh, and the staff could prepare anything you wanted.
But dinner was a bit of a challenge. The buffet is only available three times a week, and it's truly excellent when it's on. On other days, you can choose between the neighboring island (slightly lower food quality), a Thai or Japanese restaurant — each offering only three limited dish options (We don‘t like the choice of the food). To be honest, this was a bit stressful. A daily buffet dinner on this island would have been far more convenient and enjoyable.

First, the positive:
- The island is pure magic - white sand, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation, all complemented by the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty.
- Our room was not only spacious and comfortable but also well integrated into the island’s charm, with an open-air bathroom and an outdoor shower.
- The location is ideal, especially for those with early flights, as it’s conveniently close to Malé. You can make the most of your stay right up until the last moment.
- A standout feature is the new bar - an incredible spot to enjoy a drink while watching breathtaking sunsets.
- The marine lab is another highlight, offering engaging activities like reef cleaning, which gives guests a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing the Maldives and a chance to contribute.
- For snorkeling enthusiasts, the reef at the sister island, Ihuru, is spectacular. We encountered sharks, rays, turtles, clown fish and many more.
- There are many activities on the resort, and you never get bored. We particularly enjoyed the Maldivian cooking class. Thanks to Prosanta for sharing his cooking skills with us!
- A special mention to Rajesh at the barbecue - his kindness and great cooking skills added an extra touch of hospitality that made our trip even more memorable.
Now, the points that could be improved:
- As returning guests, we felt that the attention to detail had slipped compared to our previous visits. For example, the turndown service was inconsistent, and we had to request more tea for our room after running out, which we hadn’t experienced before.
- We also preferred the previous dining experience, where the menu changed daily, offering more variety. The current setup includes numerous supplements, which can make the options feel somewhat limited unless you’re willing to pay extra on top of what’s already included.
Overall, it was an incredible stay.

Staff were nicest I’ve met in a hotel . Rooms were up to date and comfortable. Only 50 rooms so very private with lots of tranquility. Great diving

Me and my partner we were on our honeymoon trip. Had a great experience living in this beautiful island with great service, amazing warm welcome and high class hospitality from all the staff members. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, greeting us with warm big smiles and a nice complimentary drink upon check in.
The accommodation was nothing short of luxurious. Room was spacious, elegantly decorated for our honeymoon celebration and equipped with all the high tech modern techs.
Had a best experience of beach side dinner with all inclusive drink packages.
Overall, our stay at Taaj Coral Reef exceeded all the expectations. Must recommended to everyone to experience luxurious staycation in this property.

Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa – A Lovely Experience
I had an amazing stay at the Taj Coral Reef &Spa Resort. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the welcoming and friendly staff, who were always ready to assist with anything I needed. Their customer service was top-notch, making my experience truly special.
The resort itself is beautiful, with all the amenities you could ask for. The facilities were well-maintained and comfortable, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
A special mention goes to the Chef Mr. Prakash, who made sure all our dining requirements were met. The food was absolutely delicious, and every meal felt like a treat.
Overall, I had a fantastic time and would love to return.
emilia szokeova
We spent a week in this beautifull resort. We celebrated our 10th anniversary and my birthday. Everything was amazing. The beach house, the ocean, the food, the staff. I would like to give a special thank to the chef Prakash who made our celebration special. All the food was briliant. He is really kind and helpfull. All the staff is always really nice. We loved the waitress from the beach nar Imuka? I cant reměber the exact name, but she was from sri lanka and was always laughing. Thank you for an unforgetable anniversary. We hope we can come back.
surajit mahapatra
Beautiful property located amongst rich coral beds with super helpful staff.
We stayed in a beach villa for 2 days and a water villa for 2 days. There are many activities that you can wish to do - For us, we spent most of our time snorkeling (loads of parrot fish, unicorn fish, trigger fish, trumpet fish, occasional sting rays and lion fish)
There are three restaurants with ample options for cuisines - food choices were good (just a wishful thinking that there can be an expanded menu for people staying beyond 3 days or an expanded menu for 'over the grill restaurant')
Overall I would highly recommend this place for its proximity to the airport (35-40 mins by speedboat), the rich marine life around the property and the amazing hospitality of Taj!
Prashant Singh
I had a booking for 3 nights starting 27th till 30th October 2024.
It was extremely pathetic experience. Don't expect anything good from this property that you feel during your stay at Taj properties in INDIA.
Taj in Maldives has nothing to do to match those standards in INDIA. The standards of Taj Coral Reef and Resort matches with some 2-3 star rating properties in INDIA.
They'll send some cheap and pathetic, junk kind of speed boat to pick you up from the Airport in which your infant/toddler will panic and scream out and in between the sea, their pick up boat will break down too. We could not even reach the property
The staff will not have any courtesy to contact you and help you out and all the heavy booking amount paid by you will be gulped down by them.
I would strongly recommend not to book this Taj Coral reef and resort and to book other 5 star properties in Maldives that cares for its customers and provide good quality of pick up services.

We stayed at this resort for a week to celebrate a special occasion, splitting our time between the Garden Villa and the Sunset Ocean Pool Villa. While the island itself is stunning, clean, and well-maintained, the management and overall service were deeply disappointing.
From the moment we arrived, our appointed host, Mihad, failed to provide clear information or assistance. On the first day, we stayed in a Garden Villa where the bathtub was broken. Despite informing our host several times, no action was taken until we moved to our next villa. This lack of responsiveness continued throughout our stay.
We had pre-booked several experiences, including a spa treatment and a candlelight dinner, but had to constantly follow up for details. No one took the initiative to update us or coordinate properly. Our candlelight dinner was poorly organized — after receiving our starter, we waited 45 minutes for the main course, with no one checking in despite reminders.
Though we had opted for the premium all-inclusive package, we were repeatedly denied drinks (mocktails, juices) at the bar, being told they weren't included. Only after escalating the issue to our host — again — were we allowed access to what we had already paid for.
Our stay in the ocean pool villa itself was lovely, and we enjoyed the setting. However, another major letdown was the in-pool breakfast. We requested it on the first day but were told it was fully booked and would be scheduled for our last morning. The night before our departure, while settling our bills, we learned for the first time that our flight was scheduled at 7 a.m., meaning we wouldn’t receive our breakfast. No one had informed us earlier — we had to discover it ourselves. When we raised our concern, the staff acted as though the oversight was our fault, which was incredibly disappointing.
There were a few highlights:
1.The Ocean Spice Indian Restaurant was excellent, and Rajesh, who served us, was incredibly kind and helpful — even stepping in when our host wasn’t reachable.
2.The Dive Club staff was wonderful and made our first scuba experience memorable and safe, even though we don't know swimming.
3.The buggy drivers were always friendly and ready to help.
In short, if you're only looking for a scenic getaway and are okay with handling everything yourself, this place delivers on beauty. But if you value good service and a smooth experience, I would recommend choosing another resort.
Maggie Salak
Furaveri is a beautiful island resort with lush greenery, beautiful beach, coral reef and sealife.
We really enjoyed our stay here and liked the following aspects in particular:
amazing snorkeling opportunities with a beautiful reef right next to the hotel beach; the food was great overall, including the breakfast buffet and the a la carte restt; the outdoor bathroom with a freestanding tub was gorgeous; the staff were very friendly in general.
Some of the aspects that could be improved:
The villas are a bit dated and could use some maintenance (e.g. some power sockets not working). The wifi at the resort is not always reliable and occasionally wasn't working.
While the food was great in general, the restaurants varied a bit in terms of the speed and quality of service. One time at dinner the waiter got our order wrong and instead of correcting the mistake, he insisted we ordered the other dish.
The day/night entertainment was a bit lacking, more live music or other activities would be nice.
All in all, despite some small issues, we had a great stay at Furaveri and can highly recommend it.
gowtham balakrishnan
We had a fantastic time at Furaveri. The island is gorgeous and there is lot of marine life to see during snokelling and the ocean is fantastic and there is a ton of fish of all sizes and colors in the island reefs just few feet from the beach. Our host Sam took excellent care of us. From the moment you land at male to the time you get back to the departure gate everything was taken care of and Furaveri folks made the whole process seamless and excellent. Also the Furaveri lounge at the seaplane transfer terminal was amazing with great views and was well stocked with light snack and drinks. All the staff where amazing and super friendly especially a shoutout to all the buggy drivers, everyone of them knew my daughter's name and would talk to her and treated her so special that she was looking forward to all the buggy rides. A special shout out to Harka who was just excellent and super friendly! Also the staff at the restaurants and bar where amazing and a special shoutout to the staff at Ocean spice who made our daughter's birthday so special.

Our stay: 23rd-29th March
Furaveri Island is nothing short of a tropical paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the island's natural beauty.
Our stay in a beach pool villa (Room 601) was superb, we didnt want to leave!! The villa was a haven of luxury and comfort, offering stunning views of the ocean right from our doorstep. We relished the privacy provided by our own pool, where we could take a refreshing dip at any time of the day. The villa's elegant design, with its blend of traditional Maldivian architecture and modern amenities, ensured that we had everything we needed for a truly relaxing and indulgent stay. We had the beach and sea 20 yards away from our villa and loved the snorkelling opportunities on this side of the island. Lots of sealife to explore a few feet under the water.
One of the highlights of our visit was the exceptional service we received from the staff. Ram in Housekeeping deserves a special mention for his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to ensuring our villa was immaculate every day. His warm and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and well-cared-for throughout our stay. He was a brilliant guy and Furaveri Island are very lucky to have such a wonderful guy as part of their team.
Also commendable was Ikoo, our host, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Recommending the best dining options on the island, and organising bookings Ikoo's knowledge and hospitality were invaluable. Contactable via WhatsApp he was very responsive at all times.
Good food across the main buffet restaraunt and the speciality places too. We enjoyed them all and had no complaints about the food in offer.
Management should look at the drinks menus for B&B, HB, and FB as well as Premium All Inclusive. We were the latter and it was annoying and somewhat frustrating that there were different menus to be told we couldnt get x, y or z because we were all inclusive and it wasnt included. We were Premium All Inclusive and struggled to comprehend why some drink options were unavilable to us. Something that should be addressed, in my opinion. It wasnt high end bottles of champage or spirits I refer to, just things like certain cocktails - something the hotel management could easily fix.
In conclusion, Furaveri Island in the Maldives is a destination that exceeds expectations in every way. The breathtaking beauty of the island, combined with the luxurious comfort of the beach pool villa and the outstanding service from Ram and Ikoo, made our stay an unforgettable escape. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, Furaveri Island is the perfect choice for a truly enchanting getaway.
Paul Lammertsma
We stayed as a group of 7 from April 19 to 29 in four separate villas. (Honestly this was a bit long and I recommend 7 days.)
The resort has taken great care to accommodate every need with a wide selection of restaurants and activities, but also through services like buggies and turndown service.
In general the restaurants are great quality, but occasionally service is slow or miscommunications occur.
The dive center is top notch; I completed my Nitrox certification with them and was able to see manta rays, countless sharks and sea turtles.
Best time of year to go is Nov-Mar as Apr-May is humid.

Oaga Art Resort is one of my favourite hidden gems in the Maldives.
This was my third stay, and I’m already looking forward to my fourth.
The beachfront villas are spacious and modern, just steps from the ocean. The resort feels exclusively intimate—small enough to feel personal, yet with everything you need for a restful and energizing stay. It’s also conveniently close to Malé, making it easy to reach.
The food is delicious, with fantastic live cooking stations and plenty of healthy options. I especially appreciated the setup for my Ironman training—sunrise swims, barefoot beach runs, and safe, beautiful snorkeling right off the shore.
What makes Oaga truly special is the team. Warm, genuine, and always going the extra mile to make each moment memorable.
Thank you again—I’ll be back soon.
Dana Malek
Overall, acceptable experience for the price. key aspects fell short, making our stay less enjoyable than expected.
The quality and variety of food could definitely be improved. The desserts were consistently underwhelming, lacking both appeal and taste. Ice cream options weren’t inviting, and most drinks were heavily syrup-based. For an all-inclusive resort, it felt odd that fresh juices and bottled water were chargeable, which was inconvenient.
Cleanliness & Room Experience: below average.
As we were traveling with a baby, cleanliness was a top priority. While the room itself was aesthetically pleasing, it didn’t feel clean. Unfortunately, we had an ongoing issue with ants in the bed, on towels, and in various spots in the room. Despite flagging it, the issue remained unresolved throughout our stay. This was especially concerning as we needed a sanitary space for baby bottles, utensils, and pumps. We were eventually offered a room change, but it came on the evening of our last night—too late to be a practical solution given the logistics of packing and moving with a baby.
Definitely unacceptable!
Overall:
The resort does offer a variety of activities, which is a plus, but the food and drink experience was below average for a 5-star hotel. Having visited the Maldives four times before, we can confidently say that this was not the level of service and experience typically associated with a 5-star resort in the Maldives.
While the stay was decent for its price range, there are areas that need improvement for it to match the luxury and service standards expected in the Maldives.
Wouldn’t come back unfortunately regardless of the positives.

A Disappointing Experience in Paradise – Our Honest Maldives Review (Feb 14-17, 2025)
The Maldives is often described as paradise, but unfortunately, our much-anticipated family holiday from February 14 to February 17, 2025, was overshadowed by poor service, mismanagement, and repeated disappointments.
Arrival Experience & All-Inclusive Benefits – A Disheartening Start
After an exhausting journey (5-hour flight, 3-hour airport wait, and a 70-minute boat transfer), we arrived at the resort expecting a warm welcome and a seamless check-in. Instead, we were told to pay for in-room dining, despite booking the "Greatest of All" all-inclusive package. After multiple discussions, a complimentary meal was finally offered—but only after unnecessary frustration. This was not the welcoming experience we had envisioned for the start of our holiday.
Dining Service Issues – Constant Struggles
Our dining experiences, particularly at Kakada Restaurant, were consistently disappointing. The staff seemed to prioritize some guests over others, leaving us feeling overlooked and unwelcomed. Simple requests for napkins, cutlery, and water had to be made multiple times. Unlike other guests, we were never escorted to a table, and we often had to find our own seating while staff redirected us without proper assistance. Instead of enjoying stress-free family meals, we found ourselves repeatedly dealing with inattentive service.
Sunset Cruise – A Moment Ruined
One of the key moments we had looked forward to as a family was the sunset cruise—a chance to capture cherished memories against the breathtaking Maldivian backdrop. However, despite being the first to arrive at the pickup point, we were ignored while late-arriving guests were allowed to board first. Shockingly, the boat even left without us, forcing us to escalate the issue. By the time the crew reluctantly returned to pick us up, we were left scrambling for seats, unable to find a good spot to sit or take a perfect family photo with the sunset. A moment that should have been magical turned into an upsetting and embarrassing ordeal in front of other guests.
Floating Breakfast – A Premium Experience That Never Happened
A floating breakfast was something we had eagerly planned as a special treat for our 8 year young daughter, selecting our menu 10 hours in advance. Yet, when it arrived, it was completely incorrect—only meat dishes, despite our preferences. The portion sizes were shockingly small for a family: just one omelet and two juice bottles for three people. It felt like an unnecessary cost-cutting measure rather than the indulgent experience we had paid for. In the end, we never truly got to enjoy this premium offering, which left us deeply disappointed.
Repeated Dining Order Mistakes – Adding to the Frustration
The dining issues did not stop at service. Meal orders were frequently incorrect—tuna curry was replaced with chicken curry, a chicken burger was swapped for a beef burger, and overall, the servers appeared confused. At one point, I had to personally walk to the live cooking station to verify my order—something no guest should have to do, especially at a luxury resort.
We strongly urge future travelers to take note of the red flags we encountered during our stay. It's important to mention that our booking was made directly with the resort’s reservation team, not through any third-party agency. Despite this, we still faced multiple service failures and mismanagement issues. This raises serious concerns about the resort’s overall service standards.

I had by far the best time in the Maldives at Oaga Resort. The vibe is 100% suitable for the perfect vacation with perfect Maldives beach, lagoons, diving
Fishing, to see sharks and turtles like in an aquarium and have a unique and very relaxed time. The team is modern and just super cool. Like my buddies in Germany. Thanks for everything, especially the great food, vibe, animals and local community feeling!

While the resort boasts unique infrastructure and a beautiful setting compared to others, its service and hospitality were deeply disappointing. The service team was unresponsive, requiring multiple follow-ups even for basic requests. The butler assigned to us was uninformed about the island and failed to respond when contacted.
Despite the island offering unique activities, the poor organization ruined the experience, making it feel like a waste of time. After hearing so much about the renowned hospitality of the Maldives, we chose this resort, only to face one of the worst experiences we've had compared to any other counties/resorts that we visited before.
Even budget-friendly resorts, costing a fraction of this one, offer far superior hospitality. Spending a considerable amount of money here only to receive such subpar service leaves you frustrated and regretful.

A Dream Family Escape with Unmatched Hospitality✨️✨️✨️
Our stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and exceptional service that continued throughout our entire visit. The island is breathtaking, but it’s the people who made our experience truly unforgettable.
We chose a package inclusive of meals and activities, which made everything seamless and stress-free. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.
We stayed in a Mirage Overwater Sunset Villa with Jacuzzi, which offered stunning sunset views and a peaceful atmosphere an ideal setting to unwind in paradise.
The resort offered a wide range of family-friendly activities, ensuring there was always something fun for everyone. It's the perfect destination for families looking to bond, explore, and make meaningful memories.
A special thank you to Baais, Azu, Sharih, Shaufa, and Kareena for organizing a truly beautiful birthday surprise for our daughter. The party was beyond what we expectedcthoughtfully decorated, joyful, and heartwarming. It's clear that the team here can organize any kind of celebration, and they go above and beyond to make it unforgettable.
And a heartfelt thank you to Ameen, Esor, and Nazmul for their exceptional service and warm hospitality. Your kindness and professionalism added so much to our stay.
We’re already looking forward to returning. Thank you, Centara Mirage Lagoon, for a magical and memorable experience!✨️💙💖💜✨️

The hotel is new and offers a pleasant atmosphere. The housekeeping service was very good (at least twice per day), making our stay comfortable. We had a nice time with the complimentary paddle and kayaking, both of which were enjoyable, and snorkelling (70USD) added a fun element to our trip. The views from the hotel were quite lovely, enhancing our overall experience.
I also appreciated the food at the Thai and Italian restaurants, which provided enjoyable dining options. The spa services were relaxing, and I would recommend trying them out.
There was a downsides to our experience. I found that the communication app could be improved for better user-friendliness. With a few tweaks, the hotel could make the experience even better.

Highlight specific elements like the cleanliness of the bed, quality of amenities, helpfulness of the staff, and the location of the hotel.
They went above and beyond to help me find the perfect item.” “I was very impressed with the quality of the product I received. It was exactly what I was hoping for.” “The customer service at this company is excellent.

My wife and I took our 2 kids here at the beginning of April 2025, and it was by far their favorite hotel to stay at! They advertise being kid friendly and they aren’t kidding. The adult pool has a mini water park connected to it with a LAZY RIVER! The buffet has an entire section for the kids which is built at their height so you don’t have to keep making marshmallow runs. Even the spa has a kids section called ‘Candy Spa’ where the little ones can get pampered. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Maldives with kids because the smiles on my children’s faces throughout the entire experience was honestly priceless.
Scarlett
Hi hello I just wanna say this place is PEAK!!!!! The food is delicious(tacos on top for this one), the place is really fun with tons of activities, there’s a lot of fish, and the pool bar is S-tier I really like the stingray lemonade thing it’s fire!!!! My mom booked the all inclusive package so chilling in the room with the snack the resort provided us was tranquility for reals!!! Also I’m Thai so when I was greeted with Thai employees it made me feel like home, one thing I wanna add tho is like.. each place is kinda far from each other, I know you can call a golf cart but what if there all busy? I recommend having a bike service so it would be easier to get around!! And here’s my advice to people visiting here, GET THE ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE, you can basically eat and drink unlimitedly!! And here’s to the staff: KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! Yea that’s it :3

The resort is absolutely gorgeous, it truly is paradise on Earth.
The rich marine ecosystem will fill your eyes with wonders!
But by far, the sweetest highlight is the care provided by the Moofushi team. You genuinely feel welcome from the moment you step out of the plane, everything is taken care of, all your desires are anticipated and you can feel it comes from the heart. Special thanks to Steffi and Hisham in particular at the resort, and to the lady manager at the seaplane lounge for sorting out the seaplane complications. You've really made our vacations unforgettable and stress-free!
Kirsten Cox
Outstanding Maldives experience. Beautiful island, amazing snorkeling and local trips (Manta, whale sharks etc), staff are fantastic - nothing is too much trouble, always smiling, always helpful. Food and drink and entertainment is amazing quality, abundant, and varied! We loved it - can't fault it!
Kerry Gourlay
From arrival at Male airport to leaving the paradise that is Constance Moofushi, we were looked after so well by the outstanding team.
The Maldives has been on my bucket list for so long and boy oh boy did this beautiful island live up to my expectations!
We had a sand villa which was a perfect location, steps from the sea and just beautiful inside and out on the deck.
The snorkelling just metres from the shoreline is unbelievable - and the snorkelling trip is something we will never forget.
The food at Manta restaurant was 5* every single meal, we also loved our a la Carte at Alizee restaurant and Totem bar was great for drinks and lunch too.
The island has everything you’d ever need and the overall vibe is peaceful and laid back luxury.
We loved the wine tasting standing in the shallows of the sea! Thanks to Madu and Mevin for a fun experience!
Special mention to the sommeliers Broumi and Immi who were outstanding; all the staff were helpful, courteous and polite.
Can’t wait to be back in our paradise!
David Irwin
This really is an exceptional experience. The entire team are attentive without being intrusive.
We were concerned when we booked that 9 nights was going to be too long; how wrong was that. We could have stayed..
I experienced both snorkelling and diving for the first time and are looking forward to our next visit to continue the journey.
Marina Kläger
It was our second stay at this amazing hotel.
We still love it. It is like a dream, it’s paradise!! The team is always so friendly, the management is great. The food is unbelievable good. Everything is perfect there! We love everything at this amazing place. Thank you to the team which made it perfect in any way for us. Hope we see you soon. Markus, Marina & Emmi

The location was amazing. Very worth the 4 hour plane ride from Thailand! The place did not disappoint and my room has amazing view and corals in front for me and my friends to snorkel. The service is very good, the staff are all very friendly and are all very welcoming. The staff Rishand Sentile and Mary are all very welcoming at the club! The stay overall was great. I also went to the manta ray and whale shark excursion where Alex guided us and helped us to get the most out of it! We saw manta rays and 3 whale sharks that was going to the deep so we missed them by a bit. The team worked very hard to try to find whale sharks for us. Would definitely recommend!
Victoria Currie
The resort is fantastic and every member of staff has been so helpful and friendly. I can’t fault anything.
A special shout out to Islam our housekeeper at Centura who has been fantastic. Our villa has been spotless after every clean which has really enhanced our holiday experience. Thank you Islam!! He was always polite and respectful.
Veeran Gill
Had an amazing time at the resort, the staff were so lovely. Special mentions go to Sunny in the Italian restaurant & neeraj & team at the bar, but honestly everyone was so accommodating, friendly & helpful. Really great week with attentive staff. Beautiful beaches. Yoga and Pilates classes offered daily. A great gym. We visited the spa a couple of times, the massages and body scrubs left us feeling relaxed and revitalised. Would definitely recommend this resort
Khushboo Doshi
Maldives is indeed a beautiful country. But what made our stay special and wonderful, is Team Centara's service, approach and literally they have gone out of the way in accomodating our requests and making our stay super comfortable. I would really recommend this place for everyone, families, couples, they have something to offer to everyone. I really don't think i can complaint about anything except the sun, but what is maldives without sun, sand and sea.
Blonde S.K.
The location was spectacular. Beautiful coral reef that just infront of villa. Very convenient and the food was good. The staff here was so nice and have great hospitality. The cleaning staff name Ammanualla was very detail oriented in cleaning in our villa and good at decorating towels and for trip to see Mantas and Dolphins, the tour guide of the resort was super helpful on taking videos for Mantas and Dolphins and took care with friendly manners. Overall, it was amazing as expected and recommend people to stay here for sure ✨️✨️✅️✅️🤍😊😊

Absolutely amazing. I’ve been there 4 times. My favorite destination. The staff is well organised, kind and you can surely count on them. The food is phenomenal. Fresh fish, well prepared and great drinks!
Smeetha D'Souza
Our stay at Ihuru Dhawa island was a dream-come true. On a paradise island with crystal-clear waters and a vibrant lively riff showcasing sharks, brightly colored fishes and tortoises - which I have otherwise only seen in documentary films.
The professional staff has an eye for details, whilst offering you a down to earth atmosphere as well as creating a vibe that makes you feel at home the moment you put your first step on the island. The manager Mr. Simaad Abdulla and Julia, personally greeted us on the Island at 5 am. Which is too early in the morning. We felt so very welcomed!
Ihuru is a picturesque cozy island with modern amenities as well as a luxurious spa, fitness facilities which include yoga sessions and everything else that is required for a comfortable and relaxing holidays.
The dining experience in a postcard ambience is remarkable, made even more special by the kind staff with awesome smiles. Thank you Sujina for your professional approach!
I have such fond memories of the young man at the breakfast buffet, always preparing fruit plates or juices with a warm smile. Nice way to start the day!
The young Chef Pawan at the egg counter was equally delightful, skillfully making different types of eggs, waffles, and pancakes. The creative pancake presentations brought joy to the children. My daughter was definitely impressed.
The culinary highlights are outstanding, where the chef Rupankar didn’t hesitate to make any extra effort to accommodate our special requests. He even came to the table later that evening to confirm that all was up to our expectations. We had the best Fish ever.
Although it was 5 months ago April 2024 we remember the young apprentice Abdulla Maaniu - who would serve us during all meals with a bright smile. We looked forward daily to see him during the meals.
My husband celebrated his 55th Birthday at Dhawa Ihuru - we couldn’t have found a better place to celebrate this special day. Sujina the restaurant hostess as well as the room service decorated not only the dining table but also the villa. My husband was speechless. We were very grateful for all the exceptional effort the staff took to make such beautiful memories for us.
The island's luxurious spa offers a variety of massage therapies. Dr. Sharma is dedicated to the well-being of the guests. I had three acupuncture sessions for my frozen shoulder. The treatment included a soothing shoulder massage and exercises, which were both effective and comforting. Dr. Sharma is a true professional, and I appreciated his holistic approach that addresses the body, mind, and soul - not just the shoulder.
My daughter and me experienced our first parasailing activity around the Ihuru island. Whilst taking on the birds view we were guided by the captain Yamin and Athoof in a very caring and professional manner. It was a breath taking view and an unforgettable experience.
Someday we shall return to Ihuru - to these white sands, to these infinite shades of blue, and most of all to these warm and courteous people who made our holidays unforgettable!
Yullet Dsouza
Angsana illuru is a wonderful island resort. The staff are all courteous and very helpful and smiling.
The villas are so beautiful, has a pvt sit out, with long swings and open bed sit out besides beach beds. All villas lead to the beach about 50mtrs from villa. The rooms are cleaned I guess 3times a day.
Drawback are no swimming pool, no gym area, no recreational area and the scuba equipment are of cheap quality given for free but it's easily breaks into the ocean and chargeable 50$ each for each loss. Please take your own scuba equipment.
Mohamed Shamheed
A classic gem, a perfect little robinson island, well preserved and if not an island resort with the best house reef in capital Atoll.

Second time to Maldives and this resort is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean comfortable and large. We are in over water villa with private pool and love it. All the food we have is spectacular and tasty. All inclusive and the under water scenery is mind blowing, so much sealife, even swam with a turtle 🐢
O W
Great house reef for a resort that can be reached by speed boat ! Really enjoyed the snorkelling experience.
The speciality restaurant, the Grill, was really nice and staffed with good communicators.
The only negatives were few staffs in the buffet restaurant and the quality of the buffet. Most of the staffs at the buffet restaurant was nice and friendly, especially the guys in the kitchen, but some of the waiters on busy time were forgetful and not very polite. As for the quality of the food, you get what you pay for, but it does get a bit boring after a few nights.
A K
Maldives are such a paradise! Everything was amazing, from the Indian ocean to the white sand, beach and unbelievable friendly staff which have made our stay unforgettable.
We stayed in a Lagoon Villa which was always clean and the housekeeping have shown us their best sides.
The atmosphere is just peaceful, the food really tasty and the sunsets were outstanding. Every moment we have spent here have been like a dream.
I recommend this Resort, Helengeli to everyone who wants a perfect week for their vacations.
Friendliness and service are not comparable.
The ocean life unbelievable magical and rich on sea life.
The crystal clear water is keeping a great coral riff
with colourful fish in different sizes.
During Snorkeling you can explore the fascinating underwater world. Turtles, Sharks and Stings,.. they are not just decoration more than that they are a part of this world. Underwater it is like walking on the stars.
Every moment in this Resort was an unforgettable experience.
Anwar Khoury
Best place if you have kids,
The kids club is very large and the ladies attending children are all amazing. They take good care of children.
The food in the main restaurant I'd good and the variety each day doesn't let you get bored
I would recommend this for sure.
L M
In general, the island was good. Most part of the stuff was very friendly. Unfortunately, not all..The Ladies in the Restaurant)
The cleaning was vgood big thank you to Rajendra. The Two lifeguards did an amazing job.. It was a pleasure to talk with Wasim and Ali. :-) amazing snorkel on the house reef!
Spa was TOP!
Unfortunately, the food was not really on a high quality level. From all the islands I have seen before in the Maldives, this was on lower level. Almost every day the same. The grill restaurant was amazing. So it’s a big difference if you eat à la cart or on the buffet. Valentine’s Day, the buffet was great.so the potential is here…
The other days the Buffet was notis not really satisfying.
Some parts of the island could be decorated with more love.
Big thank you also to the TGI Dive and water sports team, you do all an amazing job! Super friendly, good atmosphere and always safety first! Small groups for diving. I had only good experiences with you thank you so much! Maddee, Lorena, Luca,Pam and all others:)

The vacation in Nooa was the best. A slightly delayed review, but as they say, better late than never. 😀 We spent our vacation at this resort in June 2024 with our three young children (then 2, 4, and 5 years old). We spent an amazing 29 days at the resort and we definitely didn’t get bored. 😀 The resort offers many sports activities, and since our children love water, we tried almost all of them. And thanks to Ali, we were able to try out the activities, as he was willing to help us with the kids during the sports activities, and the children enjoyed it immensely. When we wanted to go snorkeling alone, the kids were taken care of in the kids' club, and there was no problem with the language barrier with our kids because the animator was very kind, friendly, and the children really liked her.
The hotel staff was great, and I can say that during the time spent with them, they became our friends.
The food was rich and varied. In addition to the main restaurant, there were two more available, and we often went to one of them to enjoy the amazing steaks.
In any case, we thank the resort for the wonderful vacation and definitely recommend it.
Melania Matcovici
Everything was absolutely perfect! The hotel is very clean, peaceful and relaxing. Staff are so polite and helpful. Jack was very welcoming, remembering my name is a detail that makes a difference. Everyone was very respectful and appreciated that the most. I enjoyed so much the activities, Nihao looked after us so well, made us feel calm and safe swimming with the sharks but also made a nice, pleasant atmosphere on these trips, very professional and at the same time friendly. M on the dolphin watching trip was also very nice and generous with the drinks Also I have to mention Swamy, very tasty barbecues. And at the end FIfi made sure was all sorted for going home. Without exaggeration this was the best trip and place ever and I am sure to come back and recommend it 100%.
Nicola Pelizzari
Our stay was pure magic—luxurious villas, crystal-clear waters, and sunsets that took our breath away. The staff’s warmth and attention to detail made every moment special. Jith deserves a standing ovation—his kindness and professionality are remarkable.
From gourmet dining to snorkeling adventures, every experience was unforgettable. Nooe is paradise!
We’ll be back!

Recently visited NOOE MALDIVES Kunaavashi private Island, hospitality was extremely good , should specially thank MR.SWAMY & MR.JITH for their exceptional service. Before coming to NOOE we had visited other island but the major issue was with the food as we were vegetarians and most of the food here is sea and non veg food,but in NOOE this issue was sorted as the chief MR.SWAMY responded at a short notice and prepared all the food we wanted and thanks to MR.JITH for his service and explaining about every veg dish with patience overall felt really happy coming here.
Siddhika Karki
Our honeymoon at Nooe Maldives, was nothing short of perfection! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The resort itself is breathtaking, with stunning overwater villas, crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful ambiance that made our five-day stay feel like a dream.
A special shoutout to Dibesh from the restaurant, whose attention to detail and friendly service made every meal extra special. Sagar and Niraj from the bar were incredible always crafting delicious cocktails and ensuring we had the best time by the beach and poolside. Azyan from housekeeping did an amazing job keeping our villa spotless and cozy, adding thoughtful touches that made our stay even more memorable. And of course, Aron, the manager, was absolutely lovely, always checking in to make sure we were having the best experience possible.
Everything from the luxurious accommodations to the world-class hospitality made this the perfect honeymoon getaway. If you’re looking for a romantic, serene, and unforgettable experience in the Maldives, Nooe is the place to be. We can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect place for our Honeymoon!! 5 stars experience in the water villa with pool ✨️
Alf Jonny Høines
Our stay at Dhigali Resort in the Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we landed in the Maldives until we left, we felt completely taken care of. The resort's staff provided a seamless experience, ensuring every detail was perfect from the start.
The resort itself is a tropical paradise. The white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery create an atmosphere of pure relaxation. Our beach villa was beautifully designed, blending luxury and comfort, with direct access to the beach and lagoon. Waking up to the sound of waves and breathtaking views every morning was simply magical.
One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible marine life just steps from our villa. We were lucky enough to spot turtles and reef sharks, along with an abundance of vibrant, colorful fish while snorkeling right outside our door. The underwater world surrounding Dhigali is truly spectacular and added an unforgettable element to our trip.
What truly set Dhigali apart was the level of service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, attending to every request with genuine warmth and professionalism. Whether it was organizing excursions, recommending activities, or providing impeccable dining experiences, the attention to detail was unmatched.
Speaking of dining, the variety of restaurants at the resort was impressive. Each meal was a culinary journey, offering fresh, flavorful dishes that catered to every palate. The sunset cocktails at the beach bar were a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the island.
We also had the opportunity to enjoy some of the resort's activities, from snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs to relaxing at the spa. Each experience was well-organized and added to the overall enjoyment of our stay.
Leaving Dhigali was bittersweet, as we were reluctant to say goodbye to such a beautiful place and the people who made our stay so special. We cannot recommend this resort highly enough for anyone seeking a luxurious, serene, and unforgettable Maldivian getaway. Dhigali truly exceeded all of our expectations.

We spent part of our honeymoon in this hotel and the experience was great. It was our very first time in Maldives and I think this hotel has everything someone going to Maldives looks for: beautiful azure water, white sand, a stunning sandbank, a great house reef with great marine life, an amazing all inclusive with really high quality food and top notch service.
Regarding the room, we stayed in the water villa 603, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. We were considering staying in a Lagoon pool villa, but it turned out that the best house reef is right in front of the water villas, so it was amazing to put your googles on and enjoy the amazing marine life right away: sharks, turtles and an endless amount fish of all types. So, despite I can not compare to other hotels in Maldives, Dhigali it is great for snorkeling. Dhigali also has a great dive center, one of the bests I've dived with. Special mention to Greg.
About the food, Dhigali exceeded my expectations. I've been in other all inclusives before and they don't get even close to Dhigali. The quality of the food is comparable to any good restaurant you pay a good amount of money for. Special mention to Battuta!
The service was also great, very friendly and nice.
Regarding the ambience: even though the hotel was 70% of capacity, it looked empty. Plenty of sunbeds and tables available all the time, which is great. I don't know where everyone was. However, at night I missed some more energy, despite the hotel does it's best offering live music/djs performances, just a very few guests would show up. So, at least during my stay, things were a bit too quiet for my taste at night at least.
Something I would improve: I don't know if it's due the increasing sea level, but it looks like the water is gaining terrain to the island, and because of that, some parts of the island look a bit ugly, and the management is trying to fix it with sandbags. Specially in some beach bungalows/villas that have many sandbags in the terrace. If I were staying at one of those beach villas, I would definitely complain.

Amazing island. The best we've stayed at in the Maldives. We'll definitely return. Everything was faultless. Food and drink options were incredible on the all inclusive package. Accommodation big, spacious clean and private.
Egor Popelyaev
Great resort. It has everything you need for the unforgettable vacations. The villas and bungalows are very comfortable. Service is just excellent. Personal is super helpful and responsible. There are several restaurants which offer big variety of delicious food from all over the world. And a, as great surprise, there is a cafeteria with very delicious coffee and deserts. And of course spectacular views, white sand beaches and crystal clear water.

We really liked the Sun Siyam Vilu Reef Resort. The island is small and beautiful and stands out in particular due to the great vegetation and good service. All the staff are always friendly and attentive. We had an east-facing water villa. This meant we could stay in the shade all day and had a pleasant breeze. The water villa is very spacious for three people, as it also has a large terrace, and thanks to the high privacy screen you can enjoy complete privacy.
Our special thanks go to Sham and Simal, who looked after us very warmly right from the start.
We would also like to thank Rakesh for the great room service. He was very attentive and always made sure our room was in perfect condition.
Chaminda, the chef, often spoiled us with extraordinary curries from his home country Sri Lanka. We would also like to say a big thank you to the entire service team, especially Surja, Juri, Ali, Shakil, Kushal and Dilshan.
We can definitely recommend this resort and will hopefully be back soon.

The island offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway.
The service was outstanding, the food was excellent, and the entire place was impeccably clean. The massage experience was truly exceptional.
A heartfelt thank you to Simal, who was attentive to every detail and ensured everything ran smoothly.
The host maintained a high standard of cleanliness and hospitality.
Each evening was made even more enjoyable with quality music and a pleasant ambiance.

We spent 13 wonderful days in the paradise called Sun Siyam Vilu Reef. After landing in Male we felt that we had arrived. We could already enjoy Sun Siyam lodge during waiting the seaplane. After arriving in the island we had a warm welcome with drum, conch horn, coconut drink...
Niyaaf was our extremely devoted host, whatever we asked for immediately, he took care of it without delay, we really appreciate his effort.
Our boys love to play soccer, so they quickly got to know the resort futsal team, whom we managed to support with all our hearts in the inter-island championship 2 times and help them win. Many thanks to Adam and Nimal and the team for giving us this experience.
We were very lucky with the weather, so we were able to enjoy every minute of the Maldives and the resort.
We were able to snorkel a lot, where we also made many friends, who kept us safe throughout. Akko, Migey, thank you very much for the many experiences and care! It was an experience to swim with the biggest fish (Whale shark) in the world!
The Vilu Reef house coral reef is amazing, thanks to the location of the island (entrance to the Atoll). You really don't want to go somewere else for snorkling, you just float on the water and you are greeted by rays, sharks, turtles and millions of fish with millions of species. It would be difficult to list the wonders we saw here.
We also tried water sports, so we were able to participate in the Jet-ski, banana and snorkeling safari tours, we really enjoyed them.
The spa part of the resort is also outstanding. Both in terms of staff and infrastructure.
We most enjoyed the amazing Aqua restaurant, where we spent our 3 meals. Nittin's team took care of us with love and friendship. Jazlan, Sagar, Dilshan, Bhawdeep, Mozammel, Ashmita, Juri… and all those who work in the restaurant, we will never forget you!
Big thanks to Matiur, who was taking care of our villa, cleaned up twice a day and making suprises for the kids with palm leaves decorations on the bed.
We say goodbye to paradise with tears in our eyes and hope that one day we can come back and experience the wonder again.

I had an amazing experience with my family at Vilu Reef. Everything was top notch, the environment was super welcoming, the staff were all friendly and made our experience 100% better, the island is absolutely beautiful and well taken care of.
I would like to give some special mentions to specific staff at the resort. In the Aqua restaurant all the staff were amazing and friendly, but our experience was even more special due to the waiter that took care of us every night which was Shakil and his lovely supervisor Dilshan. These two staff members made the holiday so fun and welcoming, making us want to eat dinner at the restaurant every night due to their friendly demeanour and welcoming ways. The last, but definitely not least, person I want to give a special and separate mention to was our island guide and helper Adhu. He made sure that our stay at the island was relaxing and that all our problems that arose was taken care of swiftly and stress free.
Overall our stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef was absolutely amazing and we would recommend 1000% to anyone that wants to have a relaxing holiday with their family or even as a couple.

A Truly Magical Easter Week at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef
We spent a wonderful week at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef just before Easter as a family of four, and it was nothing short of perfect from start to finish.
The adventure began with an unforgettable seaplane flight over the turquoise waters and countless tiny islands—a breathtaking welcome to paradise!
We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa with Jacuzzi, where we were warmly greeted by our host Simal. He explained everything thoroughly, was always available for our questions, and shared some great tips for our stay. The reception team, especially Yanis, was always helpful and attentive. Our villa was kept spotless twice a day by Shogan from housekeeping—even with the chaos our kids occasionally created!
We had full board and were delighted with the buffet, which offered an incredible variety: local specialties, fresh fish, Indian curries, international dishes- The Sancocho was delicious- , kid-friendly options, fruits, and delicious desserts. Chef Nittin's passion for food was present in every dish—he skillfully blended flavors and spices from around the world, including special sauces that added that extra magic. Younus made the perfect omelettes every morning and grilled great seafood during lunch. There was always fresh water on the table, and the service team—Sujita, Yuri, Akil, Admita, Lakufaan, Dina—was
exceptionally attentive and warm, all under the ever-watchful eye of the speedy and professional Dhilshan. At the bar, Bankrith impressed us with creative, tasty cocktails and a constant good mood.
Our younger son (6) absolutely adored the Kids Club, where he was lovingly welcomed by Leila and Marie. He enjoyed crafting Easter decorations and was quite sad he couldn’t say goodbye to them on the last day.
The excursions were a highlight—yes, not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny! We went snorkelling and diving with reef sharks, turtles, stingrays, and even around a shipwreck—these moments will stay with us forever; Thank you Shattu. Our older son had his first ever scuba diving experience, and he was blown away. Migee walked my son and myself through everything we needed to know as beginners. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him.
While we were off exploring, my wife treated herself to an Easter spa package. After the long journey, the massage by Anis was just what she needed—her expert hands knew exactly where to apply the right pressure on her back and shoulders. She said that she even fell asleep during the foot massage. What a relaxing experience!
All in all, this was a dream vacation. Every single team member we met showed genuine warmth, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to guest satisfaction. Thank you, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, for an unforgettable holiday—we hope to return one day!

If you dream of going to the Maldives at least once in your life - Iru Fushi Sun Siam is your place! Green, exotic, romantic, beautiful to perfection! The villas are clean, luxurious, made with an idea and very romantic! The beaches have fine sand and crystal waters, there are conditions for wonderful snorkeling, you can see sharks, turtles, stingrays and without going too far from the island. The food is extremely diverse and rich! The staff is polite, smiling and very helpful! They made our celebration unforgettable - romantic, beautiful and very respectful of us! Sincere thanks to Mariam, who was our butler, and to our attendant R. Leon, who took care of us and gave us surprises! There are five restaurants on the island, but our heart remained in the Indian restaurant, Test of India - magnificent cuisine, the chef personally greeted us and honored us with his presence. Special thanks to the BBQ restaurant by the adult pool, which is right on the beach, where they made a wonderful surprise for us. The island also has a family pool which is extremely beautiful and exotic, tennis courts, places for typical Maldivian photos with palm trees, swings and beautiful flowers. You can enjoy all kinds of excursions, massages, enjoy an outdoor party with live music! I highly recommend this place because time stops there and every moment you thank God that you ended up there! I dream of going back one day! Thanks Iru Fushi Sun Siam 💞
Andy P
We had a fantastic stay at Iru Fushi Island Resort. Our Deluxe Beach Villa with a pool was well worth it—swimming under the stars was unforgettable. The resort offers a great mix of activities, beautiful sunsets, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can walk barefoot everywhere. Staff were incredibly attentive throughout, especially the breakfast team. We did have a minor issue with a cockroach, but it was handled well and didn’t affect our overall experience. Highly recommend!
Annamaria Bianchi
It was a fantastic holiday!
The island is wonderful and really well cared for. We have been to the Maldives years ago and I must say that this holiday did not disappoint our expectations: heavenly sea, lots of fish, lush vegetation, large and white beaches. The staff was very kind (a personal thank you to Azzam and Rakesh, pur room attendant). The room was very large with a huge Maldivian bathroom with two showers and a hydromassage tub. The only thing to improve is the air conditioning system: it needs to be renovated in favor of new, less noisy air conditioners. Thank you
Fahad A
Visited in December 24, one of the most memorable experiences. Beautiful sea, crystal clear water, and world leading hospitality. Definitely recommend taking a seaplane to the island. The all-inclusive package is the best experience as otherwise it could get a little expensive. The Over water villa spacious and very clean. The food was brilliant, with plenty of choice and also tasty. Our butler always available by WhatsApp, which was a useful service. Could do with more evening activities. Nonetheless, this resort was outstanding with beautiful beaches. Definitely try out the spa too!
Samet Gedik
If you want to go for the Deluxe beach villa, you need to request a mosquito net, like on every other island I guess. The quality of coffee and cakes can be definitely improved! But overall, an unforgettable experience with great people who assissted us like Mandy, Ashen and other friendly employees. Would definitely like to come again!

Philip Jury
Family of 5, grandmother, 2 year old and 4 year old. We stayed for 5 days.
It’s absolutely glorious here!
It’s a 15 minute boat ride to the island. So perfect for the little ones. We had a pool villa. Again it’s a wonderful little pool for the girls and the sofa can easily turn into a comfortable bed. The cot was also very good condition.
I would definitely recommend this location for young families.
The check in was the only thing that lost the star. The room wasn’t available and the relax room was full. With the children having just gone through quite a bit of travelling it was anything but relaxing for us and those others there. I would suggest there be a protocol for young families so we don’t disturb the peace :)
Anisa Payne
Myself and my husband stayed at this fantastic resort last week for our honeymoon. We had the most amazing hotel and experience. From the moment we were collected at the airport to our seamless stay we could not fault this resort. It’s extremely clean and well organised. The facilities were fantastic and vast there is a fully equipped gym, a tennis court, life sized chess and a football pitch we used! Extreme Maldives was faultless they allowed us to use water sport equipment as part of our all inclusive for 30 minutes a day. We had snorkelling equipment for the whole week. We also booked a nurse shark snorkelling excursion. The staff were so calmly and skilled in the water, the experience snorkelling was life changing. The all inclusive was very much worth it the menus are very vast and full of flavour! We cannot fault this resort and would be so thankful if we could one day return.
We were also given on our first full day an engraved wooden plank to place on a tree in the honeymoon garden it was such a nice sentiment.
Thank you so much for your service! Hope to see you all again!
Chris Roth
An unforgettable stay — pure paradise with heartfelt service!
We recently had the immense pleasure of staying at the Sheraton, and it truly was an exceptional experience from start to finish.
A very special thank you goes to Siraj, who kept our overwater villa immaculate at all times. His cheerful presence, no matter the hour, made every interaction a joy. We were amazed each day by his creative towel sculptures—they brought us laughter and delight, and his attention to our every wish (including endless water!) was outstanding.
In the restaurant, Birendra took care of us with genuine warmth and hospitality. Whether morning or night, his passion for service shone through in every detail. We also appreciated the support of Maish, who added to the welcoming atmosphere at every meal.
Aminath gave us a very special gift—a beautiful photo session that captured lasting memories. Her kindness and talent made the experience feel relaxed, natural, and truly enjoyable.
And last but certainly not least, Maria, who coordinated everything with such care and grace. Every question we had was answered quickly and warmly. Her thoughtful attention made all the difference, and her presence really touched our hearts.
The special Easter chocolate creation and the stunningly decorated table on our last night—with a “See U Soon” message spelled out in leaves—were just two of many moments that made us feel truly special.
Thank you to the whole Sheraton team. We will carry these memories with us and very much hope to return soon!
merve sozmen
It was our first time in the Maldives, and we had an amazing experience. The room was spacious, spotless, and offered a breathtaking view. A big thanks to Siraj for his exceptional support and thoughtful surprises, such as the beautifully crafted animal-shaped towels and the special birthday decorations.
The service crew at the restaurants were also incredibly helpful and always had a positive attitude. A special thanks to Joseph for swiftly resolving any issues and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Lamees Ouzon
Absolutely best holiday hotel for kids. It’s located quite close to Male which is ideal traveling with kids saving one from longer boat / plane trips. Kids eat for free from pretty good and tasty choices. They have an amazing kids club with a selection of activities and wonderful staff. The service is great. Staff are friendly, helpful, polite with a great attention to details. I’d highly recommend this place for families with kids.

We are just back after having 9 nights at Varu. What a superb resort, you can relax or get busy with the non-motorised sports, snorkeling etc. All 4 Restaurants are excellent. Our beach villa was large with our own private beach. All the Staff make you feel so welcome from beginning to end all very helpful. The Spa was excellent. You get so much included in the price. We booked through Booking com, so simple. We looking to go back again near end of this year. Nothing to fault!!
Carsten T
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at VARU by Atmosphere, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel and the island itself are absolutely stunning—paradise on earth. Our arrival was seamless, with a smooth boat transfer from Male airport, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived.
We stayed for 14 nights and found ourselves constantly engaged in one of the many activities the hotel offers. The complimentary snorkeling excursions were fantastic, but the paid larger excursions were absolutely breathtaking. We had the incredible opportunity to swim with sharks, turtles, and countless fish—it was an experience we’ll never forget.
We stayed in an overwater villa (without a pool) and could not have been happier with our choice. The sunsets were simply stunning, and having direct access to the water right from our villa was incredible. Just be aware that the water can be a bit choppy, so some swimming skills are required to enjoy it safely.
The food at the restaurant was excellent, offering both Western and Asian cuisines. The menu leans a bit more toward Asian flavors, so if you're not a fan of diverse Asian foods, it might not be the best fit. However, for us, it was a treat!
The service throughout our stay was top-tier—attentive, precise, and genuinely focused on making our experience special. If you're looking for a luxurious, 5-star honeymoon experience in the Maldives, without breaking the bank, look no further than VARU by Atmosphere. We would highly recommend it!
Simon Dunnore
Nice place to visit. View were spectacular but anywhere in the Maldives you can experience this. We heard this was one of the less Expensive 5 star resorts in the Maldives and I would agree. Vibes round by the pool do not feel like a 5 star resorts. Staff are friendly and rooms are nice.
Rafael
Absolutely wonderful Resort. The location, the room, the restaurants and bars... The staff will really make your stay unforgettable: always with a smile and always there to help. Big thanks to all of them, because nothing would be the same without their effort and committed! The buffet is also excellent (great variety and different every day, including some special themes during the week), and the three restaurants (including Kaage, specialized in Maldivian food, where you have a nice insight of Maldivian life) are really worth a visit. The music, stylish and elegant all around, is also part of the experience, with special mention to the wonderful Cuban duo who play both during dinner and in the bar on different days. And the bar by the swimming pool and the beach, what to say? A perfectly managed area where you can enjoy from your morning swim till the sunset by the sea... Perfect holidays in a perfect place, this is definitely a great resort!
Tyler Zolt
Amazing and quiet escape for couples and families alike. The over water villa was comfortable for two with plenty of space and the outdoor space was superb. The ocean was clean and warm, the pool was refreshing. The onsite restaurants were all fantastic and the staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. English was spoken by all for our American travelers and everything was in USD

Delightful island getaway — would love to go again!
Stayed here for a mother-daughter trip I booked as a gift when my mother celebrated a milestone birthday. We did a LOT of research prior to booking to find a place that would be just right. Atmosphere Kanifushi lived up to our every expectation! If this review is long, it’s only because I’m writing it as a way to relive the fantastic trip I had to this resort (to which I already wish I could go back immediately).
As soon as we stepped into our beach villa with private infinity pool we were completely blown away. The view was truly exquisite and so much better than any pictures could possibly do justice; I could never get tired of something so beautiful! Stepping out onto the wooden deck and taking a long morning swim in the pool before breakfast was divine. Really enjoyed the bathroom with a half open air ceiling as well — it was such a delightful feeling to step out there and hear the (for us northerners rather exotic) birds and watch the hibiscus flowers sway in the breeze.
The whole island experience was fantastic— there was so much attention to detail to make the experience feel perfect (they even raked the sand pathway to our entrance every day!). The shuttle service made it easy to get around the island without issues.
As for the food, the restaurant selection is excellent as well! We really enjoyed our a la carte dinner at Pier 6 (some delicious seafood there - would recommend to go before sunset to do the view justice though!), as well as lunch at the Sunset, Sri Lankan specialties at Ceylon Bliss and fish and chips at Liquid. We had most of our meals at the main buffet restaurant Spice which was excellent! They had several different theme nights during our stay as well which ensured that there were always more options than you could possibly try!
The staff were so attentive and helpful everywhere we went. Without fault, as a guest you are met with a smile and a greeting from literally everyone, from the shuttle drivers and restaurant service to island engineers and cleaning staff! They really make you feel welcome and it makes for such a pleasant mood on the island.
To summarise, my mother and I will always treasure the memories from our lovely getaway to Atmosphere Kanifushi. Would love to go back one day and can absolutely recommend booking here!

Remarkable resort with attentive staff, wonderful food options, beautiful villas, lovely natural landscaping, and of course tremendous access to the Indian ocean in all its shades of blue.
The Maldivian team members I spoke with were happy to speak about their country with pride that I learned from and I admire (noting that the resort lifestyle is not like their local customs and traditions).

Spent 4 nights during the June school holidays stay at Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives which was nothing short of extraordinary. Split stay between beach and water villa. Am thankful for an upgrade at water villa with pool. Loved the glass bottom view.
Food was a highlight, with Pier Six standing out as a fine dining gem offering exquisite meals on the island that delighted our taste buds.
The array of activities available ensured our days were filled with excitement and adventure, from cruises to snorkeling to yoga.
Opting for the unlimited drinks package was a brilliant decision, allowing us to enjoy refreshing cocktails by the pool without a care in the world.
Special thanks to my travel consultant, The Lazing Wanderer, whose impeccable recommendations made this family trip seamless and unforgettable.
This resort truly knows how to blend luxury and fun, creating the perfect holiday experience.

Had a fantastic holiday here. From the moment we landed in the seaplane, we were warmly welcomed. The sea villa was a great choice. The food was fantastic in all restaurants and there was an excellent selection of drinks. I would return in a heartbeat. A big thank you to all of the staff that made our stay a special one.
Fahad Wali
The resort was amazing, we had a great experience throughout all the facilities. Lots of restaurants with different options but mainly Indian and Sri-Lankans foods. So, if you’re an Indian food lover, this resort is your paradise. Loved the live cooking options and the night activities as they performed different activities every night, there were lots of day activities such as fishing, snorkeling, diving…etc
We had the pool beach villa, which had a large private pool and direct access to the beach. Loved everything there, my only comment was that if they focus on all guests from different cultures rather than focusing only on Indian guests. However, I would visit this resort again and take my kids too, the daily activities for kids were amazing. The room size was great, the bed wasn’t that comfortable but acceptable. If you’re considering this resort then make sure to go for the all inclusive option, as you don’t want to miss any of the restaurants, starting from the daily buffets in the Spice restaurant to the fine dining in the Pier 6, the only Veg restaurant was a great experience too, loved the night vibe in the Liquid bar, and the food in the Lantern bar and the Sunset bar on the pool.
Our in-charge of our stay Mr. Rafu was a great person and took care of us all the time 🙏🏼
The Internet wifi wasn’t that strong, but who needs connection in that place 😊
We really enjoyed our one week stay there and hopefully will go back there soon 👍🏻

Stay at Sun Siyam Iru Veli was pure perfection from start to finish. The King residence was stunning—luxurious, spacious, and offering breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoon. The beach was super white pristine and best to sunk in. Every detail was thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation.
The service throughout the resort was exceptional—warm, professional, and genuinely caring. A special mention goes to our incredible **butler Adam**, who made our stay truly seamless. From handling every request with ease to adding thoughtful touches throughout our trip, Adam went above and beyond in every way. We felt so well taken care of.
The spa experience was world-class—tranquil, rejuvenating, and set in the most serene overwater setting. Every treatment left us feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Dining at Sun Siyam Iru Veli was a highlight in itself. The variety of restaurants offered everything from gourmet fine dining to laid-back beachside bites. The food was consistently delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, specially the Roma and drinks by pool Chemistry Bar.
This place is a true Maldivian gem, and thanks to the amazing team.
Colette Brennan
Our honeymoon at Sun Siyam Iru Veli was absolutely first class. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. We were blown away by the standard of accommodation - both options ( Ocean beach villa and Sea view ) provided the utmost in comfort and space. Food choices in the abundant choice of restaurants were of a really high standard - the choice was amazing.
Every member of staff was incredibly friendly and helpful - there really wasn’t one bad note in the whole trip.
Our ambassador( Adam) ensured the smooth running of the trip - his good humoured professional service was much appreciated. This was an incredibly special time for us and there were so many thoughtful details that made this time a really memorable experience .
Viktória Török
We stayed at Sun Siyam Iru Veli from April 6th to 15th with my partner, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Everything was absolutely amazing – we were beyond satisfied with the service, the staff, the rooms, and all the facilities.
A special highlight for me was the spa – I had a wonderful massage session with Pia, who made the whole hour incredibly relaxing and soothing. Everyone we met was so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay.
At the restaurant, we received exceptional care from Thilak and Namal – their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out and made our meals even more enjoyable.
And at the adults-only bar, Bhavesh made the best cocktails – definitely the best drinks we had during the entire trip!
If I had to mention anything on the negative side, it would only be some very minor details, like a slightly worn soap dispenser in the room, but honestly, even that didn’t take away from our overall satisfaction.
We’d definitely love to come back – thank you for making our stay so special!
Omar Alshaibani
I am not a person that usually writes reviews, but this 5 days vacation with my wife was just incredible. I have to say, Sun Siyam Iru Veli exceeded our expectations!
From beautiful views, amazing service, wonderful beaches and many shades of blue, breathtaking rooms (we stayed at both beach villa and water villa). Our stay was worth every dollar spent, and we are planning to visit again next year with our daughter.
The different varieties of food and cuisines at multiple restaurants at this beautiful hotel, were all delicious and great.
Special Thanks to Ammu, the front desk Manager, for all the support and professionalism.
Chef Emad at Aqua orange, Thank you for being so welcoming and kind and for all the special meals and treats you treated us to, what a great charismatic chef.
I had the best message with Pia overlooking the ocean.
We look forward to staying again at Sun Syam Iru Veli 🙏🏼
Tracy Shear
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Ocean Villa in Sun Siyam Iru Veli, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with such care and attention to detail.
Mithu, our room attendant, was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond, ensuring our mini bar was stocked beyond expectations, and the small touches, like animal-shaped towels on our bed, ranging from elephants to swans, and our little messages really made us feel special. It was those little details that truly set this resort apart.
Chaw from Chemistry was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and her level of service was unmatched. Her genuine warmth and personal touch made us feel like really special. We were so touched that she remembered us each time we visited as ‘Next one down!’—a fun little phrase we adopted, which made us feel like we shared a special bond with her. Her attention to detail and thoughtful service elevated our experience in ways we’ll never forget...
Adam, our ambassador, was great. From the moment we stepped foot on the island to our departure, he made sure everything was sorted and seamlessly arranged. He made our stay stress-free and memorable.
The chefs at Aqua Orange were also a highlight. They were not only exceptionally talented, but their warmth and friendliness enhanced the dining experience. Every meal was a delightful experience, and the service was top-notch.
Overall, Sun Siyam Iru Veli is a place where luxury meets heartfelt hospitality, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience!

Olena Niekolaidi
truly love this magical island and the hotel.
We are returning to this hotel for the third time already, and each time we are happy.
The last time, we came back thanks to the tennis coach Dayan! If you love tennis – you definitely need to meet him!!! He gave us new knowledge, and it was so wonderful to combine relaxation with training and communication with the coach.
We would like to thank the general manager and our personal assistant, Jasmin! She took care of us as if we were her close family…
And a special thanks to our housekeeper who kept our water villa clean and cozy. His name is Jameel. He truly deserves special recognition. His work made me happy…
I adore the SPA on this island)) and the entire atmosphere!!!

Paradise on earth:
We had a wonderful stay for 6 nights as a family of 6, 2 adults, 3 teenage and a child, we travelled for the second time to Maldives and it was our first time to Emerald selected by my eldest daughter for who's 16th birthday we travelled and I have no words to describe the stay, hospitality, food and the courteous staff. It was beyond words, everything was superb. Rohit, their General Manager, such a gem of a person and he is everywhere. Always greeting the guests, welcoming, saying good bye, checking on us and other guests. Jean, our main person during our stay, she is such a wonder lady and always available. They are so organized, every morning we as a family had a wattsapp group with Jean and we would get days schedule. Restaurants are with amazing foods, fresh fruits and drinks, cocktails just woww, cant say enough and the hospitality of the staff every where. Restaurant staff are so kind and friendly and welcoming. We loved our stay, weather was a bit hot but extremely pleasant towards the evenings and last 2 days of our stay it became extremely nice and it rained. We stayed ion water villa and did photo shoot, that also turned out amazing. Love love loved it. They had provided us with cycles and it added so much fun for us.
Silvia
We absolutely loved Emerald Maldives!
First thing to mention was the staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful, always going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our host Sid was very kind, always smiley and incredibly efficient. If something is not right they will do everything they can to sort things out.
The rooms were beautiful —super clean, spacious, really comfortable. We stayed few days on a water villa which was fantastic and then to a beach pool villa which was spectacular. It honestly felt like a little paradise.
The food was excellent across the board, but the standout for us was the Asiatique restaurant—everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Such a great variety and really high quality. We looked forward to every meal!
I read some reviews where people complained about the plastic boards in front of the food at Aqua buffet, but to be honest I am so grateful the resort continue to keep this protection in place for hygienic reasons. This is so much cleaner and makes the buffet a better experience. We also found Aqua buffet very good with such a variety of options all made with great care.
One of the highlights was the in-house reef—it was beautiful and so easy to access. We spent hours snorkeling and exploring the vibrant underwater life. Just incredible!
Having an accessible reef was a key condition for us since we didn’t want to rely on expeditions for exploring the reef. Emerald didn’t let us down.
We also went to a couple of expeditions (turtle hunting and the complimentary fishing one) and they were both great experiences!
Staff keeps the beaches and the landscaping with great care, everything was impeccable.
We also loved cycling around the island with the bicycles. Kids had so much fun!
Would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway.
Enrico De Pompeis
It was a dream come true. From the moment we landed to the moment we left, we completely switched off our minds—Emerald’s staff takes care of everything down to the smallest detail, so all you have to do is enjoy the experience. The villas are stunning and impeccably clean, the sea is simply unbeatable, the restaurants are excellent, and the extra experiences are truly amazing. The staff’s kindness and attentiveness are on another level—you feel pampered from the very first moment.
The resort’s attention to detail is remarkable, from the fully equipped rooms to the thoughtful touches like complimentary beach bags and swimwear for guests. We were especially lucky to have Wisham as our villa host—he took care of us throughout our stay, always going above and beyond. He was kind, professional, and attentive to our needs, always present without ever being intrusive. His presence made our stay even more magical, especially with the romantic surprises he arranged for us.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Absolutely recommended for a dream vacation, whether you’re a couple (like us, who spent our honeymoon here) or a family. We can't wait to go back!
Stuart Morris
Possibly the best 10 days my wife and I have spent anywhere on holiday in our lives. The island is beautiful, the facilities great and the staff and service amazing. Nothing was too much trouble!

Alex P.
We stayed in over water villa. Room, pool, reef around the room is nice. They have a buggy pickup service from room to wherever you want to go. House reef is very nice lot of fish. We saw turtles and black tip sharks around the resort reef.
We did an excursion, swim with nurse sharks, it was 10/10. Great experiences.
Food is so so in the buffet. A lot of selection, but some dishes are just blah. Services in restaurants are very attractive.
Food at Just Grill is very good.
Two complaints,
First, in-room mini bar and snacks. It is all inclusive, but they don’t put snacks for us.
Second complaint is the reception! On checkout day, they rushed us out from the room. And we had to sit and wait at reception for other guests and a boat about 45 mins. Could give us more time to pack. If other guests have more time to pack! Why they rushing us around!!
Sandeep Sherman
One of the most beautiful places you still stay at. The staff are incredibly thoughtful and took care of us from the time we landed in male to the moment we left. The food was excellent, especially the Indian food. The entire property was so clean and well cared for, it's hard to find anything wrong with it. We spent our vacation snorkeling, swimming, relaxing on the beach and drinking/eating. The snorkeling right off the property was gorgeous, we saw plenty of marine life and the reef around the property has been well taken care of by the hotel.
AYATO Gaming
Our stay at OBLU SELECT Sangeli was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home in paradise. The property is breathtaking—crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and beautifully maintained villas that blend luxury with island charm.
We stayed in the water villa with a private pool, and waking up to the ocean view every day was surreal. The all-inclusive plan is truly generous, covering everything from fine dining and cocktails to exciting water sports and excursions. Each meal was a delight, especially the seafood and the themed nights at the restaurants.
The staff is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. Special thanks to the activities team for keeping things fun and engaging, and to the housekeeping team for their impeccable service.
Whether you’re a couple looking for romance or a family wanting adventure and relaxation, OBLU SELECT Sangeli ticks every box. It’s more than just a holiday; it’s an unforgettable experience.
Todor Todorov
The resort is very nice, we had a water villa facing east, which was great, a big and fully equipped room and the house reef was just in front of our deck!
The house reef is excellent, saw turtles, sharks, eagle rays and lots of colourful fish and corals. Top!
Service was great everywhere in the resort especially mentioning the restaurant and reception staff.
Food was really gourmet in the 2 a la cart restaurants, definitely a must visit.
The main restaurant buffet was a bit of a let-down, repetitive, very Indian/eastern oriented, only the few live stations saved it. Definitely not 5 star. Service was great though.
Dive center was another let down, not flexible, nothing special in the excursions we went to, have been to much more adventurous and special excursions in other Maldives resorts.
Spa was excellent, really professional, a must try and some procedures included in AI.
The reason for the overall 3 stars is the departure trip to the airport- reception staff was great, but once boarding the boat the crew told us to sit in the back since front seats are “reserved for staff”, we did, next to the engine. It is a not a totally closed boat, so no air-con and no water provided, waves kept hitting and our seat and we got all wet, hot and by the time we got to the airport we needed a change of clothes! See pic.
So, overall, 5 stars I have to give for staff, reef, rooms and must mention that Sangeli is definitely a great AI option for first time Maldives visitors with kids. Couples, repeats and keen snorkellers/divers could find a better option for the price.
Nancy Mo
We had an unforgettable experience at OBLU SELECT Sangeli in the Maldives! The island is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful beach and crystal-clear waters. We stayed in a water villa that faced the sea, and it was a dream come true. The villa’s location allowed us to see a variety of fish swimming right below us – perfect for snorkeling! The underwater world here is vibrant and full of life.
The service was exceptional. Every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They truly make you feel like you’re at home. The food was another highlight – there’s a great variety of delicious dishes, all prepared with care and full of flavor.
Many thanks again to all the staff on the island for their thoughtful and warm service.

Suveer Gharat
We had an absolutely amazing stay at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort! We experienced both the overwater villa and the beach villa — each was beautiful, private, and offered stunning views. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome.
Snorkeling right off the villa was unforgettable — crystal-clear water, vibrant coral reefs, and a wide variety of marine life. The food was out of this world — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. This place exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, luxury escape in paradise!
megbrydon
Stunning location goes without saying. Beautifully appointed over-water villa (outdoor bathroom facilities - didn’t shower indoors once!) Lovely, small feel, friendly staff, tasty food with variety. Great daily yoga as part of the all inclusive - thanks Peter! A wonderful marine biologist and Hamme who made the snorkelling very interesting. Gym facilities with AC and a superb view. Spa with a delightful massage. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Riddhi Majithia
What a beautiful trip it has been, our Maldivian paradise! We visited Mercure Koodoo and were mesmerized from the very first time we set our foot in the property, we forgot all about our hectic travel & all the tiredness was gone in a second! The sunsets, the crystal clear water, clean & serene beach everything was top notch!
The staff, Kyle, Raushan , Madina & Kesnia were fantastic & their hospitality was absolutely commendable! From the warm welcome at the airport to a heart full of memories- goodbye, the service was impeccable! We were so impressed with the level of comfort and attention to detail the staff had. Great attitude. Helpful and always available, taking us around in a buggy, having conversations about the place & our stay in general! We solit our days between sunset beach villa with pool and sunset overwater villa with pool, the rooms were clean, spacious & the views?! Absolutely serene & mesmerising!
On arrival, we got to know that the resort had given us a complimentary photoshoot, we were so thrilled to get clicked & take back a memory from our trip, Amir clicked such beautiful pictures of us that instead of taking 1 picture from him, we ended up taking 10!!
An absolute special mention to Chef Selva, who ensured that we ate to our hearts content, he made special vegetarian dishes for us every single day, for every single meal! still dreaming about the pumpkin curry that he made. While he made the most delicious meals for us, the sweet smiles & kindness with which Ali and Mamun served us was truly remarkable! They made sure that we had absolutely wholesome meals everyday! One day we just asked if they had masala tea & they didn’t, the next day Ali & chef Selva ensured that we get masala tea every single day for breakfast!
The highlight of our trip! Afoo!
So glad to have come across such a kind hearted person! He made our water activities & first ever snorkelling experience so so so memorable! From our Kayaking, to paddle board & from fun tube ride to snorkelling, everything was beyond our expectations!
He clicked our pictures, showed us the techniques to kayak & paddle, showed us the best places to see turtles, sting rays & sharks!
He took us for our fun tube ride & my oh my was it FUN, what a ride & what an experience, we were laughing, screaming & enjoying every single minute of that ride! As for snorkelling,
We were somewhere between living and dreaming, the house reef is so so so pristine and beautiful making us feel tiny, humble, inspired, and salty…all at once!
Thank you team Mercure Koodoo for giving us memories for a lifetime! 🤍
Matt K
Our honeymoon at the Mercure Resort on Kooddoo Island in the Maldives was the absolute pinnacle of romance and relaxation! We wanted a truly special and unforgettable experience, and this island paradise delivered beyond our wildest dreams.
The staff were so attentive and helpful throughout our stay and we felt very looked after. Our villa by the beach was a dream come true – the panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and the luxurious amenities created an atmosphere of pure bliss. It was the perfect sanctuary for our honeymoon.
The dining experiences were exceptional. We particularly loved learning how to Cook Maldivian and Sri Lankan curries with Selvakumar. The variety and quality of the cuisine were outstanding, and we appreciated the resort’s attention to detail.
We spent our days snorkelling in the vibrant coral reefs and relaxing on the pristine beaches. The marine life was breathtaking, and the crystal-clear water was perfect for exploring. The sunsets were simply magical, creating a romantic ambiance that we will never forget.
Shashank Karnawat
Had an amazing stay at the resort. Got upgraded to the Overwater sunset private pool villa by the nice folks at the resort and had a ball of time there. The staff was amazingly helpful in all our requests. Especially would like to call out the chefs Selva, Deepak and Wipul who went out of their way to accommodate our vegetarian dietary requirements. The lady at the diving center was also very helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great time going on the sunset cruise where we saw 40-50 spinner dolphins swimming with us for about 30-40 mins! The resort also handled everything smoothly on the airport once we reached Malé with one escort assigned to us specifically. Similarly while going back as well.
Overall would highly recommend the resort to anyone who is planning to go to Maldives :)

We had a wonderful time at this peaceful and tranquil resort. The facilities were great, and the service was attentive and wonderful throughout. However, the team in the kids’ club was particularly noteworthy for keeping the children entertained and having fun. Adults and children alike enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the villa.
The villa was nicely laid out and kept very clean. However, it would have been better if the bathroom had been enclosed.
Areas for improvement include the lack of evening entertainment, which left us with very little to do after dinner; the limited non-alcoholic options, I would suggest adding non-alcoholic beer and wine; the excursion options that were too expensive for large groups; and the extremely slow internet.

The island is truly beautiful, with lots of greenery. All the villas are set up next to the beach, which is always beautifully maintained and clean.
Unfortunately, our experience with transportation to and from the island was a big disappointment!
When we landed on the island of Male, our luggage did not fly with us to the smaller island and we waited for it for several hours.
The departure did not go according to plan either. The departure is planned for 2:30 PM, but the plane is not there. There is no information about what is happening. When we asked what is happening, we received no answer. So we waited until 5 PM without any information about the flight being canceled and without refreshments.
I am aware of the fact that pilots depend on the weather and the staff on the information received, but the manner is also important. A kind word and explanation of what is happening would have completely changed the experience.
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful destinations!
But if you get sick, there may be no doctor on the island and you'll be waiting for the next one to arrive!
There are not enough bikes, sometimes only one shuttle runs, mangroves closed,
the staff is not fully trained, so there is definitely room for improvement.

This is our fifth resort stay in the Maldives and hands down my favourite, even in comparison to higher end destinations. This island is surrounded by beautiful turquoise water that is very swimmable from anywhere and offers a great variety of restaurants, activities and facilities for all ages. A fantastic and thorough Maldives experience that will not disappoint!
Elina Lobachevska
I am really impressed. It was an amazing vacation! We stayed in one of the water villas, which, in my opinion, was the best choice because water villas have an amazing view and no mosquitos.
Our room was cleaned twice a day, and they were really fast. Every time we left the room for 30-60 minutes, we would come back to find it already cleaned.
Everyone in the hotel was friendly, and the staff greeted us every time. That’s really cool!
I really liked the food at Raaya Life, the buffet restaurant. The fresh juices and fruit selection were great! The Arabic restaurant was okay, but the food could be slightly improved.
Honestly, 10 out of 10! Thank you!
Hamna Syed
My husband and I stayed at Raaya for our honeymoon and it was an incredible experience, despite it raining every day. This was our first time in the Maldives and we are blown away not only by the nature, but by the hospitality of the staff here. Everyone is so kind and so friendly. The staff love teaching you about local culture and cuisine if you ask them which is always so good to learn. They go above and beyond in every way to make sure your stay is nothing short of perfect.
Dining options have been great, the breakfast buffet especially is fantastic. I love that they have different cuisines at all mealtimes. The resort has three restaurants in addition to the all-day buffet that all offer good dining options and enough variety to not get bored.
Excursions and water sports are available every day and are so much fun, with highly skilled staff to guide you. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins and a manta ray on our jet ski trips!
The spa is so serene, and offers private suites for couples massages. The resort also had daily activities that are a real value-add such as yoga, sound meditation, mangrove walk, etc.
Housekeeping team is fantastic and quick to address any needs.
All in all, I would highly recommend Raaya, largely because of how incredible the staff here are.

John Pamintuan
We stayed at Saii Lagoon from April 15 to 20, and we truly enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this resort for families and vacationers who prefer accommodations closer to the airport. It was just a quick 15 minute speedboat ride away.
There are plenty of activities for kids and families to enjoy. The resort also offers several restaurants to choose from which we appreciated since we stayed for almost a week. I would rate the food between 8-9 out of 10. Service was excellent with most of the staff being courteous and helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed in a beach room with a private pool which our daughter absolutely loved.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Saii Lagoon for a relaxing and family-friendly vacation.
Darko
What an incredible resort! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and outstanding hospitality. This place truly has everything you could ask for, whether you’re staying for a few days or longer. The facilities are well-maintained, the restaurants spotless, and the food is simply delicious.
A special mention goes to our wonderful host, Yanti, whose exceptional service and attention made our stay unforgettable. She went above and beyond to organize a beautiful “renewal of vows” ceremony right on the beach, followed by an intimate romantic dinner at the same spot — a memory we’ll cherish forever.
The Kids Club was also fantastic for our little one, and he absolutely loved his very first spa experience — something he won’t stop talking about!
But above all, what makes this resort truly special is the people. The connection, kindness, and care we experienced made all the difference.
I can’t recommend this resort enough. Every moment was worth it, and every penny well spent!
akhilesh meena
We had a fantastic vacation at SAii Lagoon! The service was excellent, and the entire team made us feel so welcome. The rooms were spotless, and it really felt like everyone was working together to create a great experience.
A big thank you to the reception team for their warm hospitality and making everything smooth from check-in to check-out. The water sports team was also amazing—they were super helpful and made our time on the water so much fun!
Special mention to Vicky from the buggy staff—she went beyond just doing her job, always greeting us with a smile and making the rides enjoyable with her friendly conversations.
Overall, we loved every moment of our trip. A huge thank you to the entire SAii Lagoon team for making it so special. Can’t wait to visit again!
Elizabeth Britain
For my 40th birthday, me and my husband and our 2 children aged 6 and 14, stayed here for a week. It has been a dream of mine to visit the Maldives and this resort gave us everything. It was beautiful, lovely views where ever you went, the staff were so friendly and made you feel so welcome, the food at the restaurants and snack bars was delicious, the pools were perfect and the swim up bars were fantastic and the villa we stayed in with pool was just incredible, the kids were so excited. Our children loved the island as well, being able to use the Hard Rock pool with the slide was great fun. We stayed here the last week in April, so it was very quiet but still enough people that there was a nice atmosphere around the island, especially for families. We had a dream of a holiday, couldn't fault it. As we left on the speed boat home, 2 members of staff waved us off and held up a sign that said see you soon, I truly hope we do!
sony philip
Truly an exceptional vacation experience. The best part of the resort is that it's connected to hard rock resort and you will have access to twice the activities , restaurants, pools, facilities as compared to a single island resort. This is good value for money.
Once you land at the airport , you will be need to go to saii lagoon counter and all other travel arrangements will be taken care by the staff. It takes around 20 minutes boat ride to reach the resort. Return trip was in an air conditioned boat which was usefull for families with kids.
There are lot of activities in resort, coral garden snorkelling is one of the best , we spotted the turtles as well as fishes.
Kudos to Samhit from the dive center and dinesh with the buggy service for going the extra mile to making us comfortable.

Our stay at Lux South Ari Atoll was truly magical. The staff was what made the trip special. Everyone was so welcoming and pleasant. Shuttle bus driver, Mofizuz and restaurant manager Rimaah were both really hospitable and welcoming.
The rooms were always clean. The spa was luxurious. We picked this resort for our honeymoon and we couldn't have been happier. It was the experience of a lifetime. We will definitely be going back!
Stu Turner
Feel special the moment that you arrive. All inclusive is recommended as the Maldives is not cheap. Certainly our best holiday we have experienced. We will be back .
Zak Joerin
Outstanding service here at a beautiful location. You won't get bored staying here for a week! Lot of food choices included with the packages at no extra cost, and 1.8 km of island to explore
Haya Jka
The place is gorgeous, I went for my honeymoon, best experience in my life. The staff are so kind. Breakfast is amazing overwater, great food options, all halal. Great rooms, we stayed at the romantic pool villa. Kids friendly, there was a lot of kids and they had a section which was really nice. Definitely would visit again!
Deborah Robbins
Great food, and excellent service on of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean.
Since the property is larger than most, it has several restaurant options. (I don't think I would like to spend a week or more with only 2-3 restaurant options)

Alfredo
Great location right on the reef which appears to be picking up the from previous years’ weather damages. Good value for money. Staff very attentive to customers requirements. All inclusive is a good solution if you compare it with a la carte menus, as a la carte prices of appear quite exaggerated. You could drink as much as you like it from the in room minibar, but if you ask for an exception regarding the drink selection they’ll charge you a lot.
Still with the good weather, which has not been really with us these days, this place is a paradise. The villa host service
is highly useful, it makes you hassle free. Moreno, the Italian chef, prepares the best Italian as well as international dishes. Also coordinates the international staff in preparing great dishes. He is definitely the star of the resort. Always there to listen to customers’ desires, always caring. And the staff he coordinates follow his example. Outstanding! We had a great time at Emerald resort and will go back again.
David Göltner
Beautiful luxury hotel.
Rooms always clean and tidy. Beach cleaned and ready for our relaxation every morning. Staff throughout the hotel always friendly and helpful. All restaurants ala carte with a great selection. Wonderful bar on the pier, allowed for a nice sit down before or after dinner. The buffet restaurant met all our requirements with its variety. I would like to thank our butler Mr. Igga , who always took good care of us. He prepared a wonderful birthday party for us.
A big thank you to sommelier Ms. Supreeti, you were fantastic.
Debbie Chou
This is my second time here, and everything is so perfect! Thankyou for the surprises for repeaters, and special thanks to Jasmine, Rakshit, and Sameera, they are so nice and I really had a great time talking to them. I will definitely come back again!
Valentina Lapteva
Went with my family (including 2 kids) and it was amazing. First - location, it has its own reef and we saw a lot of fish there while snorkeling and diving and also from the hotel pier. Second - villa with pool is the best - kids played in the sand and swam in the pool a lot, while second parent could swim on the reef. Food was also good, our villa host booked us in all of the restaurants to try. Staff is very friendly and playful with kids, gave them little presents and drew sharks and dolphins. Cleaning man was great as well, unnoticeable, but always did some
nice surprises (like bringing swimming mattresses for kids to the pool, birthday decorations for my son etc.).
Jonathan Muller
What a phenomenal resort! The service quality and food is truly top tier. I cannot say enough good things about our host Roman and the head chef Merano, as well as all other staff.
The resort amenities are kept in excellent shape and everything is clean and tidy. I really appreciated the beautiful architecture of the buildings and the upkeep level is very good.
We stayed in both a beach villa with pool, and water villa with pool. Both rooms are beautifully furnished and everything was to our expectation. The pictures do not over sell the experience.
I would say the excursions need some work (the resort has only been in operation for 1 year in fairness) and we had some issues that were down to weather and operation.
However, as a whole, the experience was by far the best I have had at any hotel or resort I have ever been to, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Absolutely amazing.
Service is wonderful. Easy to get there. It’s like a paradise. Go and you won’t regret it.
You can dive with simple goggles and see fish. Turtles. Incredible.
Martin Andreassen
Spent a wonderful week in this fantastic resort. As Dhigurah is far from Male getting there took 55 minutes by flight and then a 10 minutes boat ride- but it was all worth it.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we felt like kings all week. Our villa was very clean, spacious and had a nice view. Restaurants were really good and will be reviewed separately. We really liked the bikes which made it easy to transport yourself to all facilities on both islands. If you did not care to bike, the hotel would pick you up.
Unfortunately we were not lucky with the weather, with only a few sunny days. But that was of course not the fault of the hotel.
Can really recommend the place!
Barrie Javens
Outstanding....from the moment we arrived.
Everything you can imagine and more. The food, accommodation and service was all first rate.

The Residence Dhigurah, Maldives – A Dreamy Island Escape
Our stay at The Residence Dhigurah, Maldives was an absolute dream. From luxurious accommodations to breathtaking natural beauty, every moment felt like paradise. We had the pleasure of experiencing both the Sunrise Beach Villa and the Sunset Water Villa, each offering its own unique charm.
Accommodation: The Best of Both Worlds
We started our stay in the Sunrise Beach Villa, where we woke up to the soft hues of dawn over the pristine beach. The villa was spacious, elegantly designed, and had direct beach access, making it the perfect spot for a morning stroll along the shore. The outdoor deck and private lounging area provided a peaceful retreat to soak in the serenity of the island.
Later, we moved to the Sunset Water Villa, which took our experience to a whole new level. Sitting over the shimmering turquoise waters, the villa featured a private temperature-controlled infinity pool—a luxury that allowed us to take a refreshing dip at any time of the day. Watching the sun set over the ocean from our villa was one of the most breathtaking experiences of our lives—a mesmerizing play of colors that left us in awe.
Exceptional Hospitality
The hospitality at The Residence Dhigurah was beyond imagination. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and care. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect. Their attention to detail and personalized service made us feel truly pampered.
Unique Island Experience
One of the most special aspects of The Residence Dhigurah is that it is connected to another island by a bridge, allowing guests to cycle between two stunning islands. This was an experience like no other—cycling along the wooden bridge, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, feeling the gentle sea breeze—it was pure bliss. The dual-island setup gave us plenty of space to explore and discover different scenic spots.
Dining: A Culinary Delight
The food was absolutely amazing, with a perfect mix of international flavors and Maldivian specialties. Whether it was a beachfront dinner under the stars, a fresh seafood feast, or a tropical breakfast overlooking the ocean, every meal was a delight. The quality, variety, and presentation of the food were exceptional.
Activities & Natural Beauty
For adventure lovers, snorkeling around the resort was spectacular. The house reef was rich with marine life, offering incredible views of colorful corals, exotic fish, and even manta rays. The crystal-clear waters made the experience even more magical.
Final Thoughts
Our time at The Residence Dhigurah was truly unforgettable. The blend of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty made it one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. From cycling between islands to relaxing in our private infinity pool, every moment was worry-free and filled with joy.
If you’re looking for the ultimate Maldivian getaway, this resort is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!
Jamie Ng
The rooms are clean, and the service is excellent. The food spread in the dining room is both good and delicious, complemented by the friendly and cheerful staff from Hafiz's team, who always greet us with warm smiles.

We had an exceptional stay at the Hard Rock Maldives, where we were warmly welcomed by Sato. He was extremely knowledgeable about the resort and attentive to every detail. Our birthday celebration was truly unforgettable.
Upon arrival, we were delighted to find a beautifully decorated birthday setup in our room, complete with a bottle of wine and our favorite cake. This was a lovely surprise, as we had only mentioned it in passing during our reservation. The reservation team did an outstanding job.
The resort offers a wide range of dining options, although we didn't have time to explore them all due to our short stay. As part of the Hard Rock, we were also welcome to use the Sai Lagoon facilities.
At check-out, the front desk team was meticulous in reviewing our bill to ensure that we received the eligible discount. Great job!
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Even when they were busy maintaining the public areas, one staff member (unfortunately, we forgot his name) went out of his way to offer to take our photos. His kindness was genuinely appreciated.
Overall, our stay at the Hard Rock Maldives was fantastic, and we can't wait to return!
Aleksei Kechko
Well... if you are a huge fan of Hard Rock culture, you should try this.
Of you go to Maldives for premium service, beauty of the sea, 5 star experience, avoid it.
Check-in was unpleasant, no one was greeting you, we had to wait for one hour for our rooms. A staff member was not pleasant. We were promised a lunch past 3 pm to 4 pm in E&B restaurant. Yet they miserably failed and we had to enjoy bar menu. A family villa is spacious. We could not find sea life at the beach.
Next time we shall find a much nicer place for 1,000 USD a night.
Rizza Mae Calso
Truly Wonderful Experience
Our stay at Hard Rock Hotel was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the incredible entertainment, exceptional dining experiences, and outstanding hospitality.
The entertainment was a major highlight, with Deviate Band delivering high-energy performances that made each evening memorable. A special shoutout to solo singer Hera, whose soulful voice during the Sundown Cocktail set the perfect mood for unwinding and enjoying the breathtaking sunset.
Dining at Sessions was a treat, with an impressive variety of dishes. The breakfast buffet, in particular, had something for everyone. The themed dinners were also a standout, with Grill Night serving perfectly cooked cuts, and Japanese Night offering flavors that transported us straight to Japan.
A huge thank you to Chef Ruben, who went above and beyond to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed.
Hard Rock Hotel knows how to create an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to return!
Wen Wu Tan
Hard Rock Maldives is just 15 minutes from Velana International Airport, making it super easy to get to. The island has two hotels—SAii Lagoon Maldives and Hard Rock Hotel Maldives—and as a Hard Rock guest, you can even have breakfast at SAii, giving you more options to enjoy.
There are over 10 restaurants on the island, offering a mix of cuisines, so you’ll never run out of places to eat.

Our first-time experience at the Hard Rock Hotel and Restaurant far surpassed all expectations. The exceptional hospitality and genuine warmth of the staff made our stay truly unforgettable. A special mention to Chef Ruben and Ms. Edna, whose dedication and care made us feel like we were dining in the comfort of our own home. Their culinary expertise not only delivered the familiar and comforting flavors of our home country but also impressed us with a remarkable selection of international dishes. To elevate the experience even further, Hera, the talented solo band performer, graciously played and sang our requested songs with a beautiful voice, creating an atmosphere that was both intimate and unforgettable. With a perfect blend of authentic local and international cuisine, impeccable service, and outstanding entertainment, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone seeking a welcoming environment and an exceptional dining experience.

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!
Taylor Lamb
The service at this hotel was above and beyond. Upon the sea plane landing I was greeted by a group of staff that were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They graciously upgraded my room from a beach front villa to an overwater villa and the service for the stay was impeccable. The villa was also very spacious and gorgeous.
The only downside was there were only a couple of food options and they’re were somewhat underwhelming. Definitely didn’t go for the food, though. And it was reasonably priced, especially compared to another hotel I’ve stayed at in the Maldives.
I definitely recommend the Westin as a great place to stay!
Mikkel Thomsen
The perfect venue for the perfect getaway!
A very calm and tranquil place. Beautiful nature and excellent location.
Offers delicious food and a world class service.
The highlight of Westin is the warm staff. No matter your needs, they will accommodate you!
Midori Andre
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.
Marcus Chia
Very beautiful and wonderful resort.
Please get a meal plan, a ala cate burger costs 40usd and above !

Will return.

Amazing Stay in Paradise!
Our stay at this hotel was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff who made us feel at home. The food was exceptional—every day brought a new variety of delicious dishes, and everything was prepared to perfection.
The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Our room was spotless, with frequent towel changes and impeccable housekeeping. The stunning infinity pool was a highlight, offering breathtaking views and a perfect place to relax.
The location is also ideal for snorkeling, with easy access to vibrant marine life just steps away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a dream getaway in the Maldives!
Julie Daniec
The Lily Beach Resort was absolutely amazing.
Our stay was absolutely incredible from the minute we arrived - we were greeted on the stunning pure white beach by a drummer and were personally escorted into the sandy floored lounge, where we were given a beautiful cocktail while we were introduced to our home for the next 6 days. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating - even remembering our names and our waiter (Ali) always has our favourite table on the beach ready for us and our usual cocktail awaiting!
The food was exceptional—every day brought a new variety of delicious dishes with a chef at every station to serve or provide individual requests. The food was exceptionally fresh and tasty. There were 3 restaurants to choose for lunch - our favourite was the infinity pool one as no children allowed so was very peaceful. And any drink that you wanted 24/7!
The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Our room was spotless, with frequent towel changes and impeccable housekeeping.
The snorkeling was unbelievable! Mantas, reef sharks,rays, clownfish and so many beautiful reef fish- we had an over water villa so could snorkel straight off the stairs from our balcony and back - with a refreshing dip in our private pool & spa when we came back.
We also did the Whale Shark snorkel trip (extr cost) which was on my bucket list and the absolute highlight of my trip
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a dream getaway to the Maldives!
Thank you so much to Laurent🙏🙏 (resort manager) and all the wonderful staff who made our holiday the best ever!
We planted a baby coconut tree with our name plaque so will definitely be back to see how it’s going!😂. Thank you to everyone at Lily Beach who made our trip so unforgettable ❤️

Harold Florand
We spent 4 nights at Lily Beach as the second half of our honeymoon and had very high expectations after a successful first part in a similar resort. Overall, we have to say the experience was disappointing. Here is our review:
Positive:
- Location in south ari atoll, amazing marine life (whale sharks, black tips, white tips, nurse sharks, manta rays…)
- Aqua Bar, amazing setting and sunset in a quiet zone (no kids). We spent most of our time there and really enjoyed it
- Excellent Spa, breathtaking location and skilled staff. They even have a transparent floor so you get to see the fish while getting your massage
- Tamarind restaurant, probably the best food we had during our honeymoon, also a unique location on the water
- Good selection of French cheese, butter and wine
- Plenty of activities and good leisure infrastructures
Negative:
- 30+ years old resort and you can feel it, the beach villa needs renovation as well as cockroach treatment.
- The room was dirty, housekeeping needs to be improved. This is unacceptable for a 5 star luxury resort competing with the bests in the world nearby
- Loud Chinese people and kids everywhere! We did not feel intimate enough for a honeymoon. I was even welcomed in Chinese even though I am French, probably a misunderstanding…
- Lily Maa main buffet restaurant is pretty average, not 5 star level
- Staff is not at the level of other resorts we did in the same price range. They sometimes do not even say hello back. We were given a private host that did not answer our requests on WhatsApp
- WiFi is very slow
Katherine Cox
We are currently staying at Lily Beach resort now and are in day 3 of 6. We almost 100 % agree with review of Harold Florian’s from a month ago apart from we are a family not honeymooners.
The food option for breakfast and dinner are limited to one restaurant - Lily Ma. The food there is equivalent to some three star hotels we’ve stayed in and not up to scratch of other 5* resorts in which we have stayed in the Maldives previously. The food quality is good to ok but selection choice is low. The food at Aqua and Vibes, which is only open for lunch, is better.
The restaurant setting for dinner is not the most pleasant. There is limited seating by the water and you are told to sit on same table every night. Getting the tables next to water seems to be a game of guest favouritism maybe fuelled by tips. In general in Lily Ma restaurant, staff responsiveness seems very in-hand tip driven which is the first time I have seen this happening in all-inclusive resorts Maldives.
The whole feel of the restaurant does not make us excited to go to dinner and with no other dinner options we feel a bit frustrated and ripped off given the cost per night of this resort.
We fedback our disappointed about the food choice yesterday privately to both reception and via the Lily beach app hoping to find a solution. However, the receptionist response was dismissive and said “what do you expect of a buffet?” while our concern via the app has not been responded to. I note from the response on Harold’s comment, the GM did not respond to his issue about food which suggests it is something that is not going to improve soon.
As noted by Harold the wine and cheese selection is good and better than some places we’ve stayed previously.
Our inquiry about night snorkelling which we also put in via the app has not been responded to. This general lack of responsiveness is in stark contrast to other resorts we have stayed at where communication often happens over resort whatsapp and responsiveness is quick.
I agree with Harold on staff friendliness too. Staff are not friendly and barely say good morning. Our “personal butler” blanked us on our second day when we passed him on the path despite us saying “hello”. The English of staff is very low which also impacts service quality.
We are currently sat by water sports centre now and witnessing people struggle to find loungers in the shade. We are literally all huddled up like a row of ducks with many other guests under the one gazebo that offers shade. With this long white beach, I don’t understand why the resort can’t create more intimate options for guests to sit on the beach.
There is in general not enough seating in any of the communal areas with pleasant settings. Last night, at the bar near the restaurant, people struggle to find seats next to the water and had to sit in reception. People don’t come to desert islands to sit inside the reception and not see the sea.
On the whole, the place is ok, the rooms are tired in places. There are some spots of black mould/stain on our bathroom ceiling, one of our deck loungers in broken and tiles are missing from the pool. The air con unit of the villa next to us sounds like a drill so it disturbs the tranquility of sitting on the villa’s overwater deck.
I am sure we will have a lovely holiday, as we love snorkelling and spending time together as a family, but knowing there are better places in the Maldives, in the same price bracket, makes our experience here a little frustrating at present.

It was a beautiful resort. Generous food and drink offerings. Rooms are tired but comfortable

It was the best place to relax. The service was perfect, the staff was friendly, and the beaches were clean and not crowded. Food was varied and delicious. We've enjoyed various activities during our stay. It is the best place for couples. Kids are not allowed in this resort.
Milan Ďásek
Just amazing, you want to go here. Take a beach villa. Amazing beach, almost for ourselves. Beach is cleaned daily as well as our pool.
Rooms spotless clean, bar replenished daily.
Food, just amazing. Service was just superb.
This place is a paradise on earth.
BodyKits Support (BodyKits)
This island is particularly beautiful and the service is so far up and above the call of duty it's worth visiting for that alone. Sam and Lisa were incredible. Super attentive and daily updates with activities going on around the island. Bonus Sam's meme game is on point. Highly recommend it.
Sandra Cifuentes
The team at lobigili select makes the difference they are extremely kind and made our experience unique and amazing, from the desk at the airport upon arrival to the chefs in the restaurants, the spa! Ruchi our host made everything special to us. Pebri at the spa was fantastic, the amazing team at the swing bar and the guys in charge of the water activities ( kayak, snorkeling, sunset cruise, transportation from and to the airport) all of them very professional and doing their best to make us feel at the paradise. The over water villa with pool and direct access to the sea was fantastic, clean and beautiful, this place is really the island of love! Ideal for couples
Stephanie Ross
We just returned from our honeymoon a couple weeks ago and already want to go back!!! It’s such a gorgeous resort and we absolutely LOVED all of the staff we got to interact with!! Ruchika was our host and she was so kind, caring, and helped us make the most of our vacation!! The food was amazing and definitely the best food I’ve ever had at an all inclusive resort. We stayed in both the beach front villa and the overwater villa!! I would definitely say the beach villas have quite a bit more privacy, a bigger pool, direct access to the beach with lounge chairs, and closer to the bar, main restaurant, and bridge to the other island. They also all face the sunset! There’s a gift shop at the other island with super cute clothes and souvenirs! The bathrooms provide plenty of amenities (toothbrush, toothpaste, blow dryer, shower cap, nail file, lotion, sunscreen, plus so much more). The room was stocked with wine, beer, chocolate, and espresso, and we never at any point ran out. They also clean your room twice a day which is nice since your feet will definitely collect a lot of sand! I also loved that they had big pots of water with long spoon type things so you could rinse the sand off of your feet! There are also plenty of umbrellas to keep you shaded from the sun!! They had so many great activities including a sunset cruise, sunset fishing, water aerobics, yoga, work out classes, kayaking, snorkeling, other water sports, cooking classes, beachside dinners, and more. We had 2 massages while we were there and they both were phenomenal despite having major sunburns at the second massage. If you aren’t much of a walker, your island host can arrange to have a golf cart pick you up to take you wherever you need to go! Aside from our host Ruchika, who we absolutely loved, we really enjoyed getting to visit with some of the other staff!! All of the island hosts go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Andy at the main bar got to know our usual cocktails (they had great snacks in the bar, BTW). We loved visiting with Hydee, Elin, Rachelle, and others at the main restaurant. We also had sooo much fun going to the night club on the other island! We did karaoke, saw the Maldivian Culture Show, smoked hookah, and visited with their sweet staff including Sri, Pikash, Shravan, & Bikash. At one of the lunches, I missed the opportunity to get one of the sandwiches and the head chef went out of his way to make us more the next day!! They make all of their breads on the island. The underground restaurant was amazing as well and comes with wine pairings. Unfortunately, our travel agent did not arrange for a late check out for us and our flight wasn’t until 10pm, but Ruchika came to the rescue and was able to find another hut for us to transfer into so we had a place to keep our luggage, enjoy a little more beach time, shower, and relax before leaving. My main advice is to bring your own sunscreen (50 spf minimum) and aloe vera gel because it’s extremely expensive at the gift shop ($70 for the sunscreen alone). I only came with carry on luggage and would never do that again - mainly because I wasn’t able to bring necessities like a big portion of sunscreen, tweezers, etc. I would also reach out to the resort next time to arrange a late check out ahead of time to avoid the stress if your flight isn’t until later in the evening!! I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone and can’t wait to come back again. There is so much beauty within such a small island from the lush greenery, gorgeous clear water, cozy rooms, phenomenal bathrooms, and most importantly, the most genuine staff that you’d never want to leave. It was definitely the best trip of my life and the best resort I’ve ever been to!!!!!

Lusine Simonyan
NH Collection Havodda Maldives was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Our water villa was always clean and fresh every time we returned, making our stay even more enjoyable. The food at the hotel was incredible—while we had the all-inclusive option, we also tried the à la carte dining on the beach, which was a fantastic experience with live music. The staff was exceptionally attentive, and Mr. Munjid went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The stunning blue lagoon made it feel like a dream come true—we couldn’t get enough of this amazing experience!✨❤️🌴✨Thank you!!
With best wishes,
Lusine&Justin
Lloyd Brown
Our stay at NH Collection Maldives Havodda was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, breathtaking scenery, and the perfect blend of luxury and nature.
A Tropical Paradise
The island itself is stunning—pristine white sand beaches, lush tropical greenery, and crystal-clear waters that instantly make you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. The overwater and beachfront villas are beautifully designed, offering comfort, privacy, and incredible views of the Indian Ocean.
Unforgettable Snorkeling & Diving
One of the highlights of our stay was the vibrant coral reef that surrounds the island. Snorkeling right from the shore, we encountered an abundance of marine life—colorful fish, graceful rays, and even sea turtles. For diving enthusiasts, the nearby dive sites are world-class, with stunning coral formations and incredible biodiversity.
Delicious Dining & Exceptional Service
The food at NH Collection Maldives Havodda was outstanding! With a variety of restaurants offering fresh seafood, international cuisine, and Maldivian specialties, every meal was a delight. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, always greeting us with a smile and ensuring every experience was special.
Relaxation & Activities
Whether lounging by the infinity pool, indulging in a soothing spa treatment, or trying out water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, there was always something to enjoy. The resort perfectly balances adventure and relaxation, making it an ideal destination for couples, families, and honeymooners alike.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a slice of paradise in the Maldives, NH Collection Maldives Havodda is the perfect choice. With its incredible coral reef, luxurious accommodations, and impeccable service, our stay was truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!
jus tice
Pay attention please. The island is far away from Male and the resort
- do not care about your INHUMAN waiting time for transfer( i waited 6 hours in Male and i almost was about to wait 11 hours after 15 hours to Male). They also do not let you know about the schedule of the transfer until a day before. (maybe you change something)
- Do not choose sunrise villas - your stay will be ruined because a DIESEL GENERATOR - diesel smell and 24 hours engine sound.
- do pay attention at the restaurant - it has a lot of CHLORINE taste.
- they do not offer the same benefits if you book your stay with a third party(they offer soft drinks for full board only if you book on their site) shame.
- do not book a snorkel garden trip - it is a 5 minutes boat ride to snorkel a similar coral like resort island has and it cost 105$ per person..
- kitchen teflon PANS look like 7 years old with millions of omelettes - shame for a 5 stars resort.
It was supposed to relax, but it was kind ruined.
Antonia & Rafael
We had the absolute pleasure of spending our vacation at the NH Collection Havodda in the breathtaking Maldives, and it was truly unforgettable. The island itself is a gem, boasting a stunning house reef teeming with marine life, including reef sharks, stingrays, and turtles, making snorkeling an exhilarating experience.
The villas were modern, comfortable, and impeccably clean. We had the opportunity to stay in both an overwater villa and a beach villa. The overwater villa was a dream come true, offering breathtaking views of the sea and direct access to it. However, a sun cover or awning would be a great addition to make the terrace more usable during the day. The beach villa, on the other hand, provided private beach access with an umbrella, though we encountered more mosquitoes there.
The food was exceptional, with a great variety and freshness. The half-board option was perfect for us, with highlights like freshly pressed juices and pancakes at breakfast, and themed dinner buffets that never failed to impress. Water, tea and coffee is free in the restaurants and your villa - other drinks are rather pricey (which however, is rather a standard for Maldives resorts; think USD 8 for a coke).
The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect.
The resort offers a range of activities, including complimentary snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and additional free activities like guided snorkeling trips and marine biology sessions. We also enjoyed a fun fishing trip and rejuvenating spa treatments.
The transfer from Malé was seamless. All is organized for you, including lounge access, a 1.5h flight to Kaadedhdhoo and a 10min speedboat ride to Havodda (all included).
Tips for Future Visitors:
Accommodation: Overwater villas are ideal for couples, while beach villas are better suited for families.
Essentials: Don't forget to pack sunscreen with high SPF and use it liberally!
Overall, NH Collection Havodda exceeded our expectations in every way, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable getaway in paradise.
Karlo Lesina
Slice of paradise & our first time on Maldives. House reef was incredibly healthy & plenty of sea life including resident sea turtle. Buffet was great & staff were very kind. Over water villas were great as well, tough to compare since its our first

I had an amazing stay here! The resort was very clean and peaceful. The food was incredibly delicious and offered a wide variety — every meal was something to look forward to. The staff were so kind and welcoming, they really made the experience even better. There were also plenty of activities to choose from. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again!
Joe Burridge
I could write an absolute missive on this hotel, but I will attempt to keep it short.
We split our stay with the Overwater Suites and a Pool Beach Villa.
I felt the beach villa lacked privacy, the trees between weren’t fully grown, but we rarely used this pool anyway.
The lagoon is lovely, very warm to swim, lots of wildlife.
The food here was brilliant, having tuna steak for breakfast is certainly a luxury. We didn’t have a single bad meal. One thing to note on here, I was disappointed that a lot of the seafood is frozen, calamari for example - that’s a shame when we are in such a fish rich area.
I found the butler system to be a nice touch, but doesn’t really work in practice - perhaps our butler wasn’t quite the one for us. Lifts took a while to arrive, and it felt a little impersonal, but the contact and availability of the butler is good.
The wildlife here is cool, there are bats everywhere and they’re huge! So cool!

I picked the hotel based on the landscape that looks deep water and I was right the water most of time was high enough to swim comfortably, the food expectation was higher based on the reviews but only ralu restaurant has proper food on the island the staff was very friendly generally, the butler Icy was very bad for communicating with us and informing us about the availability of activities every day and we had to ask many times to get Answers and didn't felt welcome and hospitality at all especially in the last day that we requested for 2 hours late checkout and she rejected it because someone should check in the room at the same time but after checking the room nobody even came to clean it by the time the 2 extra hours had already passed so this is the reason I would never come back and never recommend it to my friends and families. After the response I need to answer to you that the Room was not even got cleaned up until 3 o'clock and we left it at 12 so this excuse is at least ridiculous.

The best vacation I have ever taken, hands down. The entire experience from the moment you land and until you leave has been perfect. Our butler Nafiu was awesome! The excursion teams were fun and professional. The Med Spa was world class, including the wonderful Dr. Yaaz. I could not have asked for a better stay. 11/10.

Our stay at Heritence has been nothing less than phenomenal. Each and every single member of staff made sure our stay was incredible. They were so welcoming and friendly, the maintenance and ground work staff, the room service and cleaners, the bar staff and caterers, everyone had made sure we were greeted with a smile, a hello, and met any of our needs no matter the extent.
We had a butler named Alessandra, and as I’m sure all the butlers work with the highest service, you would be incredibly fortunate and lucky to have her. Whatever we needed she would make sure to help in less than a heartbeat, she was so so friendly therefore most compliments and kind regards go to her :)
We were also unfortunate in having to visit the medic centre a couple times, where there the nurses and doctors worked with the most incredible professionalism and knowledge, if anything were to happen rest assured you would be in very very good hands. A very cleanly centre with all the supplies required to help.
The resort is truly 10/10, beautifully kept, amazing food and drinks, plenty of activities to keep you busy and have fun if desired, however also a calming and comfortable resort if you’d just wish to relax. They have everything would want.
If any hesitation goes into staying at this resort, I hope this is your sign to choose Heritence, undoubtedly you will have an amazing time.
Thank you to all the work that went into making our holiday as perfect as it can be.
Kindest regards to the staff,
Emilia

Amazing overall experience! Beach pool villa is impeccable, great selection of dining options, beautiful lagoon, lush vegetation and top class main swimming pool. The best part was the Velassaru team, who made us feel like home. We already plan our next visit! Shukriya

Excellent five night stay. I stayed in a deluxe bungalow for 4 and then got an upgrade as a gold HH member to an overwater bungalow. I much preferred the regular bungalow as I had a big outdoor bathroom with shower. I just loved that! Even though that didn’t have a beach view I was only a minute walk out the door to a quiet stretch of beach. I was in 136 which was just lovely. It was on the windier side of island which was fine for me. Great breakfasts. Free water for room. Slippers, flip flops and beach bag also in room. Boat ride to and from airport was easy. I got a nice welcome platter of fruit and snacks on arrival. Ice cream man goes around island giving out free ice cream twice a day. I would stay here again!!!

One of, if not the most amazing place we’ve ever stayed. The 4-night stay was extremely welcomed after a non-stop tour of Sri Lanka.
The Deluxe Bungalow room was great, especially fell in love with the outdoor shower! Situated just 50ft from the sea the location was perfect, but that would never be an issue on such a small island!
Food was incredible, we didn’t try the buffet restaurant but instead opted for ala carte at the other restaurants which were all amazing. Absolutely loved the fresh seafood and ordering buratta salads became a daily occurrence.
We spent most of our days mixing between the beach and pool, but between eating and drinking it doesn’t leave much free time! The gym was well equipped and empty both times I visited. Snorkelling we managed to see some sharks, a stingray and lots of lovely fish.
This place truly is paradise. We might have gotten bored if there for longer, but 4 days was perfect for us. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you for looking after us and we’d love to return one day 😊❤️

It was a beautiful trip our book includes a private pool and jacuzzi also we have our own beach but it’s not a 100% private
The main problem that we faced is that our villa a bit far a way from the main restaurant and there are no bicycles to ride or the gulf car not allowed to be used so you have to walk all the way to main bar or restaurant every time.
Every things else is very GOOD.
Amir faiz Abdul hamid
Our honeymoon at Velassaru Hotel was an unforgettable escape into paradise. Nestled amidst the azure waters of the Maldives, this resort epitomizes luxury, serenity, and unparalleled hospitality. From the moment we stepped onto the island, we were enveloped in a world of beauty and tranquility. The check-in process was seamless, and we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff Izaz, setting the tone for a truly magical stay. Our accommodation, adorned with modern elegance and breathtaking ocean views, exceeded all expectations. The room was not only spacious and beautifully appointed but also thoughtfully equipped with indulgent amenities. The room was meticulously maintained, offering breathtaking views of the turquoise waters. The Nespresso machine in our room ensured that we could enjoy our favorite coffee blends at any time, adding a touch of comfort and convenience to our mornings and sunsets.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exquisite culinary experience crafted by Chef Vincent and Chef Arnold. Their culinary artistry showcased local flavors and international cuisines with finesse, tantalizing our taste buds with every dish. From romantic dinners under the stars to intimate breakfasts overlooking the ocean, each meal was a celebration of love and gastronomy. Sarah, Riya and Zaidhee, the epitome of hospitality, made our honeymoon truly special. Sarah’s personalized recommendations ensured that every moment was filled with joy and relaxation. Riya, Bandana and Zaidhee’s attention to detail and prompt service made us feel pampered throughout our stay, anticipating our needs before we even realized them.
Velassaru Hotel also indulged us with luxurious amenities such as L'Occitane products in our room, adding a touch of French sophistication to our daily rituals. The fragrant toiletries elevated our spa-like experiences, complementing the serenity of the island retreat perfectly. Beyond the comforts of our room, Velassaru offered us endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation. Whether snorkeling amidst vibrant coral reefs, unwinding with a couples’ massage at the spa, or simply basking in the sun by the infinity pool, every moment was a cherished memory in the making. In conclusion, Velassaru Hotel exceeded all our honeymoon dreams and more. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Chef Vincent, Chef Arnold, Sarah, Riya, Bandana, Zaidhee, Izaz and the entire team for their unparalleled hospitality and for creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our time here was nothing short of magical, and we eagerly look forward to returning to this slice of paradise in the future.

One of the finest resort in Maldivies. The food and service was exceptional. Food was amazing and kids from 2 to adults could enjoy them. The variation was amazing and it was simply the best.
Beach front and water front both were amazing stay with privacy. The private pools and jacuzong was added bonus.
There is a small clinic and a souvenir shop too.
Alekos233
We went there for a day trip, they allow guests with a minimum spend of $75 dollars, you’ll have to arrange your own transfer from where you’re staying. Food and drinks are quite cheap and very good. Would definitely recommend visiting from a local island if you’re doing a budget holiday
Neil Denyer
Great place. Small island so if like us you prefer intimate setting opposed to large complexes this is for you as maximum guests would be 100 if fully occupied. Apart from idyllic setting and peace and quite the best thing about this hotel is the staff. Very friendly and will accommodate all your needs with attentive service and always a friendly smile. Staff are an asset the management should be proud of. The food here is also excellent. We usually prefer ala carte service than a buffet restaurant but dined here every day as food was top quality and plenty of variety. Again service was excellent. Chefs on hand to cook fresh eggs for breakfast and stir fry station at evening and nothing is too much trouble. Dined on beach twice which was brilliant. The curries on offer and stir fry to order were superb. If I had to find fault our water villa was a superb setting, bedroom great but bathroom would benefit from a refurb. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again.
Anisha Oswal
The whole place was very near to sea water not leaving enough space for a proper beach. The beach was totally dirty and not maintained. It totally ruined our honeymoon. Will never want to visit there ever.
Worst part was that whole place was totally infested with lizards and insects, stay away from this place. because of bad reviews they also have changed the name of this place from amaya kuda rah to nh maldives kuda rah
Krishna Saurabh Vankadaru
This is a small island, has very good service. It is excellent views around. Food has quite a spread, it has a dedicated Indian food section with lot of vegetarian options.
There are always some events going on, like live music, dj, snorkeling, sunset cruise, etc.
The only downside is, there is not much food optima apart from the buffet and the alacart menu which is very minimal.
Also, the activities might not be as budget friendly.
Good honeymoon place, who are planning to chill.

Our stay at Adaaran Prestige Vadoo was nothing short of magical! We booked the Jacuzzi + Pool Villa, and it was absolutely beautiful – offering a breathtaking view of the ocean. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had a serene, luxurious ambience that made us feel instantly relaxed.
The staff deserves a special mention – they were incredibly friendly, professional, and always on time. A big thanks to Priya, who ensured our stay went smoothly and helped us plan our activities perfectly.
The island's restaurants exceeded expectations – great variety, delicious food, and beautiful settings. A must-try is the Kitajima Japanese Restaurant – a hidden gem with authentic flavors and a peaceful vibe.
Overall, if you're looking for a mix of luxury, comfort, and unforgettable experiences, Adaaran Prestige Vadoo is the place to be. Can't wait to come back!
Akansha
Vadoo Maldives is truly a wonderful paradise! From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was exceptional. The natural beauty of the island is breathtaking, but what really makes Vadoo special is its incredible team.
Their warmth, hospitality, and genuine care made our experience unforgettable. Vadoo Maldives isn’t just about stunning beaches and crystal clear waters it’s about the people who make your stay feel like a dream. The dreamy private pool, the food, everything was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!
Snigdha Shankar
We had an out-of-the-world experience at the resort at the water villa. The room was very spacious with a good set of complimentary drinks and snacks. We spent quite a bit of time in the private pool overlooking the sea and got a serene experience waking up to a sunrise above the waters. It was a true taste of luxury.
Matt Olson
Loved our time at Adaaran Prestige Vadoo. Short 15-min boat ride from the airport, but it feels like another world.
Our villa had both a pool and jacuzzi, and the reef was right there—snorkeling was incredible. Loved the live music (Atom was great), the sushi, the delicious Maldivian "Island Breakfast," and the romantic swings set up with perfect views. Also, my wife loved the gluten-free bread—she has no idea how they made it that good.
Everything felt understated and well thought out. It was a break from the kids that we will remember forever. Would definitely come back.
Farjana Rashid Mira
I went to this resort keeping a very high expectation as I have watched plenty of videos on social media having positive feedbacks. But the service of this resort couldn't meet my expectation at all. We stayed for one night at the resort, I think that's what made the big difference. The people staying for one night are not treated that much I think. We arrived at 1.40 pm by their speedboat. Our butler asked us to complete our lunch first. After finishing our lunch, we were taken to our room directly, we weren't briefed anything regarding this island or this resort or the facilities we would be able to avail. Thank God I watched some videos online that's how I could get to know we have snorkeling facility, we had options for japanese dining, we could ask for buggy if we needed. We asked the butler about the restaurants available for dinner. He said the restaurant we went for lunch is the only restaurant. When we asked for japanese restaurant as I have watched online, then he said that yes we can make reservations there if we want. I don't know why he was skipping all these information. I asked him for snorkeling equipments at 6 pm, but he said they closes at 5 and opens at 8.30. But he didn't inform us that before. I was so disgusted by the service. I didn't call the butler for the rest of the time of my stay. The next day at the time of checking out, we called for the butler and then we got to know our butler was on leave. So they sent us another one. The resort and the food was amazing but the service of the butler made our stay unpleasant. Hope they will improve their service.

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.
Charlotte Gibbs
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!
Geni Cirneanu
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!
Dong-Kyung Lee
Probably the nicest underwater environment in the Maldives.
My buttler was friendly, quick and helpful.
The food was nice. Stayed for 4 nights, but if it'd been longer, we might have been bored with the food.
No beach to take a walk. Paths in the middle of the island were okay, but not as much as a beach where no buggies ran around.
The room was quite well conditioned, but the lighting was a little dim.
Some flying bugs in the room and on the bed. No mosquitos at all.
Staff members at the Sandbar rarely came to us to check if we needed anything. We almost always had to go all the way to their counter to ask for a menu and make orders. This was disappointing. But at the restaurants, the service was good.
Tor Jack
Wow!
We trusted Dusit Thani Maldives for our honeymoon location and we were not disappointed!
We kept saying how our time there could not have been better.
The overwater villa, the beautiful vegetation, the stunning reef and wildlife, the food, and most of all.. the staff!
All staff members were attentive, courteous and polite.

- Ishaq
- Alex

M U
Room: We stayed at water villa with pool which was well designed to allow you to see ocean from everywhere in the villa from bathtub, shower room and even toilet. Mini bar was refilled every day and filtered water was provided too. I found the stairs to the sea is a bit dangerous as it was too steep and rusty. Not much coral in front of the villa, but managed to see few small fish and stingrays.
Service: From start to finish, everyone was very welcoming and call you by name and greet you whenever they see you in the resort. Butler will help you to arrange any requests you may have.
F&B: Considering it’s all inclusive resort, food options are on the wider side especially if you stay longer than 4 days, basically you get to experience all the restaurants at least once during the stay. Quality wise, the resort we stayed after (non AI) was a lot better. For example, Bahn Mi was far from the Vietnamese Bahn Mi that we know and some of the ice cream had strong
artificial taste, doneness of the steak are hit or miss (I maybe a little picky as I have F&B background). However considering it is AI, I guess it is still acceptable yet there is definitely a room for improvement in this area perhaps by focusing more in quality over quantity.
Activities: There are some free daily tours available in AI, such as daylight cruise(you may see dolphins if lucky), snorkeling tour etc. They are only about an hour so if you are not so keen to sign up for chargeable and longer tour, yet still want to experience Maldives activity casually, it is a great option.

Our recent stay at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO in the Maldives was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warm, attentive service—especially towards our adult son with special needs. Every staff member made an effort to ensure he felt included, safe, and valued, and we cannot thank them enough.
A special highlight of our stay was the extraordinary care from Executive Chef Alok Verma, who ensured our son had avocado sushi for every lunch and dinner, regardless of which restaurant we visited. He even prepared Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy, just for him—a heartfelt gesture that meant the world to us.
Each of the resort's restaurants offered something unique and wonderful:
The Palms is the heart of the resort’s dining, offering a lavish selection of international dishes in a relaxed, beachside setting. The buffet features live cooking stations and an abundance of fresh ingredients, many of which come from the resort’s own hydroponic garden. The team here was always welcoming and accommodating, and every meal felt like a feast. It was a perfect place to start and end our days.
M6m (Minus Six Meters) is the resort’s breathtaking underwater restaurant, where we dined surrounded by a vibrant marine world. The experience was both magical and serene, with exquisite seafood dishes beautifully paired with wine. Watching the reef life while enjoying fine cuisine created an unforgettable evening. It’s truly one of the most unique dining experiences we’ve ever had.
Traditions IndoCeylon brought us on a flavorful journey through South Asia, with dishes rich in spice, color, and cultural depth. Each plate was a celebration of heritage cooking, crafted with care and authenticity. The ambiance was intimate and elegant, enhancing the overall experience. We especially appreciated the balance of bold flavors and gentle hospitality.
Traditions Peking showcased the sophistication of Chinese cuisine with modern flair. From delicate dim sum to flavorful stir-fries, every bite was expertly prepared. The setting was tranquil, making it an ideal spot for a quiet dinner. The staff was knowledgeable and happy to guide us through the menu.
Joie de Vivre was our go-to spot for relaxed lunches and sunset cocktails by the pool. Their wood-fired pizzas were delicious, and the atmosphere was casual yet chic. It was also a great place to unwind after a day of activities. The views from the bar as the sun dipped below the horizon were just spectacular.
LONU is signature Maldivian restaurant, offering a modern twist on traditional island cuisine. Set along the serene beachfront, it presents beautifully crafted small plates using local spices, herbs, and sustainable ingredients. The flavors are bold yet refined, and the presentation is as stunning as the setting itself.
We also took part in several excursions: a dolphin tour, fishing trip, and snorkeling adventure. During the snorkeling tour, one of the resort’s marine biologists stayed by our son’s side, holding his hand throughout the entire swim—a deeply moving and thoughtful gesture.
At one point, we needed medical attention, and it was reassuring to know there’s a doctor on site who could prescribe antibiotics immediately.
Also our visit at the spa was a true experience.
Another highlight was visiting the resort’s hydrogarden, where they grow their own vegetables sustainably. This resort is proudly nominated for Best Sustainable Hotel in the Maldives and Best Executive Chef in the Maldives (2025), and they truly deserve to win.
The resort is run with precision and care under the leadership of Swedish General Manager Elisabeth Alleyne, whose professionalism shines through every aspect of the guest experience. Everything—from the food and service to sustainability and guest care—was flawless.
This resort is a place where luxury meets heart. Their staff go above and beyond, their food is world-class, and their commitment to sustainability is inspiring. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories that will stay with us forever.
Adrian
The beach villa was absolutely gorgeous! Right on the beach, private pool and unlimited bar! Was one of the best vacations ever!!! The quality of food was excellent!
Steve Couchman
We have just returned from 11 nights at this stunning resort. We stayed in a sunrise side, earth villa which did not disappoint. It was spacious, luxurious and the outside bath and shower were huge and great - something we'd not experienced before. The mini bar was re-stocked daily and we became partial to a mid-morning glass of pink champagne on our sunbeds. Aswell as a large variety of drinks, the mini bar contained chocolate, crisps and nuts. The large dressing room behind the main bedroom had plenty of storage for clothes and shoes. Extremely comfortable, super king size bed. Great to have air conditioning. Our room was serviced daily to a very high standard by Salauddin, and our butler, Ayush, arranged all our dinner, spa and excursion bookings for us. He responded very quickly to any Whatsapp messages we sent him. Butlers will pick you up in a golf buggy and take you to wherever you want to go on the island, however, we did not use this service as nowhere was very far away to walk to at all. All restaurants were amazing!! Chefs were very accomodating and would cook whatever we asked for. We enjoyed lunches and evening drinks at Joie de Vivre most days, and it was also great chatting to the staff in there. Every member of staff we encountered was happy, asked how our day was going and whether there was anything more they could do for us. The complimentary spa treatments (I think there were 5 treatments to choose from) were amazing. The beach was incredible and we came across sharks, sting rays and many beautiful fish whilst snorkelling a few metres out from our villa. Always plenty of free sun beds and towels by the pool area and at Hondu Bay. Really appreciated that the island was not over crowded with too many guests - sometimes it felt like we were the only people on the island! The boat transfers to and from the airport were very efficient. Ozen staff took us and our cases right up to the check in desk. Can't recommend this resort highly enough and really hope we have the opportunity to return someday. Thanks to everyone there for making our holiday so special.

My very first time in Maldives and I was having a blast with my partner.
The shower gel in our room is diluted with water.. we ordered 2 pizzas and an hour later it weren’t there still… later in the evening we went to M6M restaurant and I ordered medium rare steak and the steak was so chewy and hard, couldn’t even cut it with knife.
I’ve been ignoring all those small details as everybody makes mistakes and I don’t really complain and write bad reviews, until on my last day - I saw what they do with the sparkling water. Half glass of schweppes soda and top it up with filtered water. That’s why I couldn’t taste the bubbles, I thought I was having a high standard of water back home, but I kept quiet all the time still.
Since I saw that, I told them I want the whole can of soda. TWICE. But they kept serving me the same thing. Until one of the server who knows me exchanged it to a proper soda water.
Cut story short, I knew its gonna be my last few hours before saying goodbye to my partner and I won’t be seeing him for the next 2,5weeks - so we ordered room service 3hrs before my departure from the island from our butler and advised him to let us know the ETA of food. An hour later, he gave us an excuse bc chicken satay needs sometime to prepare after being asked where’s the food, 1,5hrs later the food hasn’t even arrived. There is a reason why we ordered room service is bc we wanted to spend time together before I leave, but now we literally had to waste our time to wait for the room service and had to go to another restaurant.
Was expecting to see our butler to send me off and apologies for the inconvenience caused, he wasn’t even there let alone replying to my message.
Its ridiculous. Really bad customer service.
Literally ruined my whole week of great time. Definitely not coming back to this resort.

A True Slice of Paradise
From the moment you step onto the island, you know you’ve arrived in true paradise. I’ve traveled to many countries and stayed at various hotels and resorts, but I can confidently say this experience sets a new standard — offering a level of luxury and uniqueness that’s truly unforgettable.
We were warmly welcomed by our personal concierge, Poula, who went above and beyond to make us feel like royalty. He and his team arranged a stunning private dinner setup and helped us book an incredible professional photographer. We ended up purchasing two albums because we simply couldn’t choose from all the amazing photos.
This place gave us the perfect balance of peace and adventure. We originally came to celebrate our anniversary but were gifted a once-in-a-lifetime experience we will never forget. I’ll definitely miss this place and can’t wait to return with my family.

Sea is beautiful as expected and the scenery is typical Maldivian beautiful. The facilities are clean, well maintained and very comfortable.
Overall, I think it is a nice place, but there are some disadvantages.

Exceptional place which we tested in all different situations and they managed to find solution to everything. They built our solid trust and confidence. We took Turtle Snorkeling 🤿 and the tour was amazing. We celebrated birthday and they made amazing setup. Our seaplane was late to Male and they still managed to bring us home on time. Apart from that we have enjoyed 10+ activities on The Standard island: swimming/snorkeling, cycling, gym, running, art classes, tennis, billiard, dancing, and many more. Food was very pleasant surprise: quality, selection and taste were amazing! Just exceptional!

We came to the resort to celebrate 40th birthday. We were amazed how beautiful the resort is. We have the over water ocean view which gives us access to the snorkeling directly and it’s a paradise to wake up with a sea view. We also toke the turtles snorkeling excursion which is really nice trip. The food at the buffet restaurant are amazing from breakfast to dinner time. Lew and the hotel manager are very helpful and understanding. We will definitely coming back when the opportunity comes.
Naflan Na'fi
The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives truly exceeded our expectations. We stayed in an overwater villa, which was peaceful, private, and beautifully designed a perfect setting for our celebration.
Special thanks to our host Lew, who was incredibly helpful and made sure everything went smoothly during our stay. The service overall was excellent. Even when the restaurant was busy, the staff remained quick, friendly, and attentive.
A big thank you to Nauf, our photographer, for his friendly and professional attitude. He helped us capture beautiful memories that we’ll always treasure.
Thank you to the entire team at The Standard for making our anniversary so special. We’ll definitely be back!

Our holiday at Ozen Bolifushi was truly one of the most unforgettable vacations we’ve ever experienced. The resort offers absolute tranquility, complete privacy, top-tier service, and a wide range of activities for all ages.
Everything was seamless from start to finish – we didn’t encounter a single issue during our stay. I can wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful escape. It’s a place we’ll always remember with a smile.

We are visiting the Maldives for the first time, and a lot of time an effort goes into researching which island and resort to pick.
I chose to look at Travel & Leisure Awards for Asia 2024. Also we looked at villas that offered slides into the ocean, which narrows the selection a bit.
We chose Ozen Reserve Bolifushi because of its water villas.
I am writing this review while still being on the island, because we are absolutely blown away.
For the life of me I do not understand how Ozen Reserve Bolifushi is not in the top 10 list of the best resorts in the Maldives or Top 10 list of the best family resorts in the Maldives.
Our first destination was a top 10 property and Ozen is 20x better!!
It all starts at the airport where you guided by friendly people to their lounge in the airport, you are then boarded on their luxury catamaran for a 35min trip guided by great staff telling you along the way what you are seeing.
When you arrive on the jetty you receive a very warm welcome by the staff, and this is when you meet your Hiyani. You Hiyani is described as being your shadow, and trust me he is exactly that.
Moosa was our Hiyani, and that man was absolutely incredible!!
He made our stay so enjoyable and pleasant, I can not express how grateful we are for his work. We even had a slight medical situation which was attended to in the space of 15min!
Moosa was/is fantastic but I'm pretty sure the other Hiyanis are as well because all staff were incredible, doing everything they can to make your stay a memorable one.
This resort is where memories for a lifetime is created.
Som ran Vista flawlessly, along with the staff. Leroy the resort manager is always about greeting everyone, making sure all guests feel at home.
Nancy made sure our dinner at Origine was amazing with her humor and service, highly recommend btw.
I forget the names of the others, for that please excuse me. But the staff at the kids club were amazing, the chef and server at our dinner and movie were just as amazing as well.
This resort is fantastic for families.
We stayed at the 2 bedroom Reserve Over Water Villas, and the villa was/is beautiful. It was kept prestine by the staff. It's one of those you have to see it or experience it to know what I'm talking about.
You are not going to bore yourself here, if you are one of those that can't sit still and need activities. A wealth of choices here to choose from, including a mini submarine.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this resort, and I am usually picky.
If they had a loyalty programme I would sign up right away, because I would like to try their Earth pool Reserve villas and I would request Moosa as my Hiyani when we return.
My tips, pick the Reserve Villas if you can, if you choose the 2 bedroom overwater reserve villas with slide pick 801 for uninterrupted views.
Head over to Makana Beach on the resort for the feeling of total seclusion.
Thank you Ozen Reserve Bolifushi for creating memories for a lifetime and see you again soon.
UPDATE: The amazing service continues upon arrival in the airport as staff is there to greet you, and help you check in. Zemeel was fantastic, in helping us on our way.

If I could give this resort a grade it would be A**. We had the privilege of coming back here within 3 months or our previous trip and I would do it again in a heart beat.
This resort is perfect for couples and families and has it all from relaxation to adventure. We went as a family of 5 and our kids loved this place as much as we did maybe even more, if that’s even possible.
Both vacations were completely different, they both included adventures, relaxation, quality family time and lots and lots of fun. When you have staff on a resort, some of which have been there for over 10 years you see the passion and love they have for all holiday makers. We have made memories that will last us a lifetime time and they have made our trips so amazing that I don’t think it could ever be topped.
Things we loved…
- The service from exiting the airport to the resort and back.
- The butlers are amazing and truly take the organising part, off your shoulders so you can just enjoy it.
- The kids club was phenomenal and the girls there really looked after the kids and make sure they return home safe.
- Snorkelling (they have snorkelling gear there but we took ours) - we saw sharks in December and sting and mantras in April.
- The food was great, the selections and variety was top notch especially the Soyi restaurant is incredible, I could have eaten there every day.
- The water-sports guys were super lovely and have lots to do, we booked the sea bobs on many occasions which we all enjoyed as a family, we were there nearly everyday doing different activities.
- The private bbq on the beach and cinema under the stars is a must, they were so special and worth every penny.
- I also loved that they fumigate the island so we didn’t need repellent.
The only negative I have is that on a couple of occasions I saw a little bit of litter around the beach area near the water which could have washed up of been blown in accidentally but I suspect this has the potential to be the case anywhere you go.

We had a really great stay and amazing butler Ahoo, he absolutely made your stay spotless👌🏻
The hotel has a great spa, couple of up to the Michelin level restaurants, all possible options of water sports, well equipped small gym, bicycles, enough areas on the island to do your 10000 steps daily😁
We stayed in both water and land villas and it was a good decision. I personally liked the land villa more, it just seemed newer to me. An Indian restaurant is an absolute must visit, as well as the French restaurant (great selection of wine and very fine food).
In the main restaurant food was versatile from one night to another. For lunch there was always sushi point. What I loved the most, that couple of times they’ve also made a sugarless desserts❤️ Fruit station was amazing too.
There’s also well managed area for kids. Every staff member was super friendly! It was such a fresh air after India (literally) to see people being genuinely helpful not for tips, but because they share the values of the Ozen hotel and actually like their jobs and customer service.
100% recommended.
P.S.: yes, not far from this island there are building works going on, but throughout the week there were maybe 2-3 times when we have actually noticed it. There are plenty of space where it was super quiet (all sunrise villas).

Our stay at Ozen was nothing short of splendid! As a family with plenty of experience visiting the Maldives, we were thoroughly impressed. The entire staff was incredibly kind and caring, making us feel genuinely welcome.
A special mention goes to our butler, Asfar, who went above and beyond with his exceptional service. He was consistently patient, considerate, and attentive to our needs. Even when we accidentally left behind some equipment, Asfar exceeded our expectations by responding promptly—even late at night—and coordinating with the diving center to help us retrieve it. His dedication truly stood out.
The only minor drawback was a bit of trouble with our room key and the fact that the room felt slightly dated. However, these were small issues in an otherwise wonderful experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ozen, whether you’re planning a family getaway or a romantic honeymoon.
