All fantastic inc Staff, food, accommodation and reef snorkling. We had the best of times and would love to go again. The staff really can’t do enough for you, immediately remember your names and treat you like long lost family. The Reef is very well maintained making snorkling excellent.

I spent three wonderful days at dhawa to celebrate my birthday and it was truly unforgettable, from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth. The food was amazing, the deserts were my absolute favourite. The restaurant staff were incredibly kind and made every meal feel special On my birthday, dhawa went above and beyond with thoughtful touches: a beautifully decorated dinner table, charming bed decor, and a delicious cake prepared by the restaurant, it made the celebration feel so personal and meaningful. I also went snorkeling for the first time and it was amazing, I also visited the spa, both experiences were relaxing and enjoyable. The resort itself is clean and beautifully maintained, it’s ideal for both relaxation and special occasions. Dhawa made my birthday feel truly special, and I’m so grateful for the experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and memorable getaway. Read less

This is without doubt the best Maldive island we have visited. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived at Male airport. The island is perfection and what makes it so is the staff. I can’t name them all but we were served daily by Ziyad, Widya in the restaurant and always with kindness and a smile and what can I say about Eni’s radiant smile it was a pleasure to see every day. Equally in the bar Nishanth and Afraah were always on hand to deliver our every wish. I cannot leave my review without mentioning Vijaam, our snorkel guide who gave me back my confidence in the water that I lost many years ago. The reef is also the best we have ever experienced, we loved every minute on the island so much so I have extended my retirement date so we can afford a week there next year…..we’ve already booked!! It really is heaven on earth. Read less
