    The Hard Rock name has hit the Maldives, bringing its inimitable chill out scene to the ultimate laidback location. A new concept in the Maldives, it’s more than just barefoot luxury and days of sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling (although there’s plenty of that too). A footbridge links you to The Marina @ CROSSROADS, where a Hard Rock Cafe, SAii Beach Club, and a dining village await. And, being a Hard Rock hotel, you’ll also find VIP-worthy treats in store, like Rock Spa® treatments, super-chic eateries (The All-Inclusive option here takes your taste buds beyond the resort too, meaning you can dine around at SAii Lagoon and The Marina @ CROSSROADS), and exclusive ‘Sound of Your Stay’ music moments, including complimentary use of Fender guitars and Crosley turntables — all just 15 minutes speedboat ride from the airport.

The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable, prepared with great care every day. The food is delicious with a wide variety of options. Entertainment activities, pool areas, and beach services are all excellent. We stayed here last year as well, and this year we came back and once again experienced a holiday beyond our expectations. Our child also had a fantastic time thanks to the family-friendly environment. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you, Hard Rock Hotel, for giving us an unforgettable holiday!

    First time at Hard Rock Hotel Maldives but without a single word of doubt, one of the best trips ever!! We chose a 3 night stay in a Sky Studio Suite and opted for the all inclusive package, which with hindsight, was a great call. We got to the Hotel around 11am hoping for an early checking as we hadn't slept the previous night due to flight timing and crying babies on board. Sadly we only got the room at 2:30pm but the hotel staff had activated the all inclusive package immediately so were able to have lunch and drinks while waiting. From then on things got better and better and the experience was absolutely amazing. The most incredible staff, every single one happy and super friendly. The GM is certainly doing something right! The food outlets are incredible, but we got hooked on Hard Rock Cafe every night for dinner. Fantastic bands, first night Deviate Band, with great vocalists, second night Project Groove, fantastic Maldivian band and on Sunday night the beautiful accoustic sounds from Hera, a tiny Filipina singer who also played at sundowner time at the pool. Amazing. Other staff worth mentioning are Jay, Hard Rock Cafe manager, Jira, and Nalin amongst others who served us and all other super friendly staff at Hard Rock Cafe. On the hotel side the extremely bubbly Icha with unstoppable energy, Nelisa or Melisa? at The Elephant & The Butterfly, not forgetting the kind Filipina pastry chef Edna, who brought us a special fruit platter, all of them so kind and friendly including reception staff at Sessions as well as the Hotel and HR Cafe reception. Great job guys. See you soon! Read less

    This was our second time staying at the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives - our first time we travelled as a couple and this time we brought the kids to experience what for me is one our favourite hotels in the world. The hotel provides luxury and outstanding service without ever feeling pretentious (something we can’t abide) The focus is on fun, relaxation, music and making sure guests enjoy themselves We stayed in a Gold Beach pool villa this time and absolutely loved our room and the 10 second walk to a beautiful private beach - we were also delighted that despite a very early arrival our room was ready for us What makes the hotel stand out though is the staff - from being met at the boat through to the staff at the restaurants and bars, nearly everyone greets you with a smile. I would say however that the pool bar staff set the bar so high and that they are the benchmark for what good looks like - our thanks go to Gopi, Ishu, Hassa, Vicky and Dipu who were brilliant throughout our stay and make some unbelievable cocktails ! In terms of entertainment, Deviate remain the standout as always, we love music and I genuinely rate them as one of the top cover bands we’ve seen anywhere - they are a jewel to this resort and one of the reasons we came back. Big shout out to Hera who brought the sunsets in brilliantly and is a great addition since we last stayed in 2022. I will write a separate review on the Hard Rock Cafe team - but be in no doubt they are brilliant ! Food was exceptional everywhere we ate - grill night in sessions was amazing especially Massive improvement this year on availability of bikes and buggies so well done on that Any issues ? Only minor - our room didn’t get cleaned one day but fresh towels etc were provided when requested and there was a very large private wedding on the beach on one of the days and sessions was closed and then the following day Hard Rock Cafe got closed at 10pm which wasn’t well advertised. I’d also like to be allowed to claim unity points regardless of whether I book through my airline or not Final thoughts ? So good that we are considering coming back again next year ! Read less
