Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa

Maria Petkova

I have been guest on many resorts in Maldives but The Hideaway Resort and Spa is amazing. We waited 2 hours for pick up at the Male’s airport when we arrived. After that we had a most incredible vacation in our life. The reef, the food, the staff - everything has been perfect.Deluxe water villa with pool is just like on the pictures.Our cleaning guy was perfectionist. Absolutely quiet and invisible but our villa was being cleaned twice a day. We had received the latest check out so far.

We stayed at Hideaway for our honeymoon in November 2023. It’s hard to pick a resort in the Maldives as there is overwhelmingly a lot of choice. We had originally booked with another resort but we decided to change it and go with Hideaway - best decision! As part of our package we were meant to get to the island via domestic airline and speedboat, but when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised that we had gotten upgraded to a seaplane transfer! The seaplane itself was an experience - it was 75 minutes of beautiful views flying over the other islands. We had booked one of the overwater villas (room 305) with the all inclusive package. What sold us on this resort over the other resorts was the size of the room! It was 290sqm - a rarity in the Maldives! Even though there was a lot of villas we really felt that as were on our own island, we didn't really see much people except for meal times, and even it never felt too crowded! Our room was clean at all times and sometimes was even serviced twice in a day (we declined the second service as we were out all day). The room boys were impeccable in their service, everything was restocked daily, they would always leave the villa smelling beautifully and tidied and if they serviced it in the afternoon, they would do a turn down service (which was very much appreciated after a long day!). Our butler Thoriq was amazing, he was able to answer all of our questions, made us an itinerary for each day and would greet us everyday at a meal with a big smile! Other notable mentions are servers Ali from Matheefaru and Vikrant from Meeru Bar & Grill. They both served us more than once and were attentive, efficient and professional at all times. We also want to mention our excursion guides and massage therapists who we didn’t catch the name of, but absolute gems! The excursion guides for our guides house reef snorkelling and dolphin cruise made us feel safe. And the massage therapist ladies - one of the best massages I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot!). The house reef snorkelling was insane - just close to the pristine clear waters of the shore, the depth would increase to 5-6 metres and then you see all these beautiful coral and sea life - they would just swim around you and not be scared away! It was extremely easy to snorkel and any swimming ability can be comfortable to do it. The sea life in the house reef was beautiful - sharks, manta rays and lots and lots of fish! It was a honeymoon dream come true and Hideaway exceeded our expectations! It was very upsetting to leave but we will always cherish the amazing time we had at Hideaway!

This was the vacation of a lifetime. Hideaway is the perfect island paradise, everything you can imagine. From the moment we stepped off the boat, it felt like we were in a different world. The staff were all amazing, courteous, and responsive. I would describe my experience with the staff as "above Ritz Carlton" level. My main goal on the island was scuba diving. I did 11 dives over the course of 5 days. The dive boats are great, the dive staff is fantastic. I just could not have asked for anything more. My room was out of this world. Blew away all my expectations.

This resort is a paradise! My wife and I spent 8 nights at Hideaway over NYE festive period. We truly enjoyed our beautiful water villa and the house reef was fantastic for snorkelling. Great options for food and wine. Warm staff and service was consistently top notch. Special thank you to Shujau, Majeed, Sunil, Kamlesh and Minuja for looking after us. Would highly recommend Hideaway resort for your dream holiday. We’ll be back ❤️

This is my first time visit in Hideaway resort & spa. The experience was wonderful and I enjoyed every moment in this island. I would definitely revisit it and recommend it to my family and friends. Thanks to all employees in hideaway and special appreciation to the below names who made our visit so much more memorable and enjoyable: - Elodie the manager, she took our concern very seriously - Husain Rasheed the most lovely butler - Hanji photographer she’s very talented - Ira massage specialist - Shifan airport representative Unfortunately when going back to the airport it was mentioned to us that there will be a representative to walk us and help us at the airport. Unfortunately there was no one to guide us and we were looking for someone from Hideaway for more than 50 minutes! We had to figure out our way.
