OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi Maldives

Eladio Pineda

Our stay at OBLU Xperience was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was outstanding — the staff truly went to make us feel welcome and looked after. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the drinks were flowing all day — from refreshing cocktails to alcohol, everything was included and generously served. Evenings were a highlight with live band performances that added a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a relaxing, all-inclusive getaway with top-notch service and entertainment.

I visited here with family in Jan 2023. The place is awesome! Both the beach and water villas are good. The rooms are clean, service is polite and quick. There is ample space to walk around and spend time in evenings. Best experiences were snorkeling around the water villa. The swimming pool is great. There are lot of activities to enjoy -- beach volleyball, ocean excursions and indoor sports. The gym is located over the sea .... the waves and the wind make exercising a special experience in itself! The food is good, but options for Indian food are rather limited. Element-X and X360 are great places to hang out and chill. The only element of disappointment was the delay in pick-up from Male. The hotel needs to improve upon this.

I stayed at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi in early July 2025. While the scenery and the design of the resort were undeniably beautiful, the overall service and management fell short of expectations in many ways. The biggest disappointment was the romantic dinner. I booked what was clearly described as a “private” dinner, but in reality, it was held in an open area where other guests freely passed by, laughed, and even took photos of us. There was no effort from the staff to maintain any sense of privacy, and the situation was neither addressed nor acknowledged. Considering this was a separately charged experience, the lack of attention and respect was incredibly frustrating. The cake situation was equally upsetting. I had specifically informed the resort in advance, via email, that I could not eat chocolate. They replied that an alternative cake would be provided. However, without any explanation, a standard chocolate cake was served. Even if there was an extra charge for a different cake, I would have gladly paid—but no one ever mentioned it or offered a choice. The lack of communication and disregard for a clear dietary request was unacceptable. The buffet meals were repetitive and quite basic in both selection and flavor. If you’re expecting a luxurious dining experience, you will likely be disappointed. The resort is heavily self-service oriented, and there was no butler service or personal assistance provided. It felt more like a value resort rather than a premium all-inclusive destination. Although the island looks stunning, it is an artificial island, so the underwater environment is rather plain. There isn’t much marine life around, and snorkeling options are limited. If you’re coming for rich underwater scenery, this may not be the right place. That said, the excursions were the highlight of the trip. While a bit pricey, I would definitely recommend joining them if your budget allows. The turtle tour combined with the sandbank visit was particularly memorable. In fact, the excursion staff were by far the most friendly and professional people I encountered at the resort. Without them, my overall experience would have been much worse. In summary, if you're looking for something romantic, private, or service-focused, I would not recommend this resort. It may be suitable for those seeking a short, budget-friendly stay—but I personally have no intention of returning.

The best holiday I've ever had. My wife and I visited Ailafushi for our honeymoon. Everything was perfect for us. Everyone treated us like special beings — such happy faces! The cuisine was absolutely incredible. They offered many options for international visitors, and you could also enjoy local flavors. The beaches were incredibly clean. We even swam with baby sharks and rays. We will definitely come back again next year.

It was a great experience, the staff are beyond friendly. From reception staff, to dining to room service, they are excellent and so cheerful! The buggy service can be a bit better only as you have to wait and can not call them, with children it can be difficult. But overall I would say it's an amazing place! Would recommend and come again!
