Heritance Aarah -Simply the Best
Aug 29, 2025Michael MWhitley Bay, United Kingdom
Our first trip to the Maldives was truly amazing. From the moment we stepped on the island the staff could not do enough for you. The Food was out of this world. Our Butler Preetham truly went the extra Mile making our holiday truly special. Can’t wait to go back.
Little bit of bliss.

The Maldives has been on the bucket list for years so we tacked 5 days at the Heritance onto a Sri Lanka trip.
Once we arrived on the island the magician who was Kunal (our butler) sprang into action and made this a holiday to remember.

The Maldives has been on the bucket list for years so we tacked 5 days at the Heritance onto a Sri Lanka trip.
Once we arrived on the island the magician who was Kunal (our butler) sprang into action and made this a holiday to remember.
The island is beautiful with the expected stunning beaches, sea and tropical plants.
Our beachside pool villa was everything that we’d hoped. Direct access to the beach and lots of options to laze in either the sun or shade on our patio or private bit of beach.
We’d been a little unsure about the butler service - thinking it might be a little awkward. However, the WhatsApp system is brilliant and we soon got into the swing of making good use of Kunal’s organisational skills!!
On arrival, restaurants had all been booked for us along with our choice of trips. The little buggy arrived to take us to meals and to ferry us home (despite it only being a short walk). Nothing was too much trouble and we thoroughly enjoyed being spoilt.
Lots of different food options and more cocktails than I could work my way through - despite a good try.
Overall an amazing experience and couldn’t have asked for more.
