    One of the largest resorts in the Maldives and Green Key certified, Villa Park Sun Island, really does have something for everyone. If your ultimate dream is to experience the stunning surroundings and get close to the colours of the natural world beneath the ocean, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail a catamaran in the pure blue water. Or if you prefer to catch up on some of that much needed rest and recuperation, perhaps some gentle fishing could be for you. On the other hand, if you feel your days are better spent horizontally you can take advantage of an aromatherapy treatment and massage, or simply sunbathe in a secluded cove with absolutely no sign of anyone, anywhere. This is just some of the advantages of this picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. For the evenings, the wealth of restaurants boast an excellent choice of cuisine from around the world, including Al Pontile (the overwater Italian restaurant) and treetop dining experience ZERO.

    I just spent 11 days here at Villa Park. Staying at sun set water villa 390 .Brilliant holiday if you get the chance look out for these people they will make your holiday that extra special. these people stood out Dalul every day asked if my family was OK looked after my son giving him fresh towels reserving sun bed for us giving my son pool inflatable . Tara ran around after us every day / night I did not have to ask for a drink he knew my order kept the drinks flowing nicely. He deserves recognition what he does every day. Mati was at pool bar he will remember your drinks have chat with you . I did find at pool bar sometimes they need support 2 people as alot of people were waiting on drinkz but Mati still acted professionally and smiled through it . My partner did make comment this is not compliant more the fact that these people are running around mad that we found when he goes in coffee shop we waited sometimes 30 minutes he walked out without a drink in this heat the staff were stood around on a till are filling fresh orange for welcome guests coming. Think maybe take a body out of coffee shop cause there just standing around make them do all the running around on pool bar . Coffee shop need to learn off these people then standards will go up in there. Also shehay on bar Brilliant always chatting to us giving us information and facts on the island. Very quick serving drinks Always asked every day how we were. It was the same people that engaged in conversation with my family These people are working such long hours there always smiling .😊 we would return for 3rd time only cause of the people that showed such kindness and made are holiday that extra special.

    Strongly recommend 3-4 nights. Beautiful beach, moderate waves. Foods are nice but repeated menu. Sharks around beach but harmless to humans. Staffs are very nice and speaks good english.

    The resort is perfectly integrated into the natural landscape. You can feel the tranquility from the very first moment. The South Ari Atoll is famous for the presence of manta rays and whale sharks… and we were lucky enough to see them during an excursion! 🏡 Accommodation: We chose a Beach Pool Villa, and it was absolutely worth it. Spacious, clean, with a private pool and direct access to the beach. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the open-air bathroom was a dream, and the sunset view every evening was breathtaking. 🍽 Food: There was a great variety and high quality in all the restaurants. We especially loved the ZERO restaurant, surrounded by nature, offering super fresh and sustainable dishes. The Italian and Asian cuisine were also excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. 💆‍♀️ Activities & Relaxation: The spa is a dream, perfect for those seeking complete relaxation. Plenty of complimentary activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. The excursions were very well organized and definitely worth doing! A special thank you to Sakhawat AAmir – your service made our stay even more memorable. Read less

    We had an amazing stay at Villa Park Maldives and loved every moment! The island is beautifully peaceful, the restaurants are varied, and the service is outstanding. A special thank you to our lovely guest relations manager for the surprise room upgrade – it made our trip even more special. She also sent us the daily schedule of activities, which was so helpful to make the most of our time there. So, for everything, big thank you Paris. We also want to thank the friendly buggy drivers who took us everywhere with a smile. One tip for future guests: bicycles are available, but they come with an extra charge – it would be wonderful if at least two days were complimentary. The only small disappointment was the Italian restaurant, as I was expecting a bit more, but overall everything was great. We can’t wait to return to this little piece of paradise!
