Everyone we encountered — from the airport lounge staff to the entire resort team — was incredibly professional and friendly, making us feel truly at home throughout our stay. Most importantly, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our butler, Silvi. She was exceptionally warm, attentive, and dedicated in assisting us with all our needs during our time at the resort. My daughter and I are especially thankful for your thoughtful arrangement that allowed us the pleasure of meeting her in the Maldives — a truly memorable part of our journey. We are also truly grateful to Mr. Ali Zain, Director of Rooms, for his willingness to listen to our feelings. Thank you even more for taking the time to consider possible solutions for us. Since this was our very first stay at a hotel under the IHG group, we sincerely hope that this rare and memorable experience can continue positively. We would genuinely love to return to the Maldives in the future and have the chance to meet you and your kind, hardworking team at the resort once again. We also truly appreciate the beautiful slogan your resort shares: “Where time stops & beautiful stories unfold!” We truly believe that InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is the most beautiful paradise in the Maldives. The breathtaking scenery of the resort and the warmth of every staff member have created unforgettable memories for our entire family — ones we will cherish for a lifetime. Read less

We came here to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and the staff here have gone above and beyond to make sure our time was extra special. All the staff and our wonderful curator, Nishaz, have been absolutely amazing. We would love to take them all home with us. The food is delicious, the wonderful flavours in each and every dish from breakfast, lunchtime, afternoon tea and evening meals have been brought together and presented beautifully. The sand and sea are kept pristine and with only a few visitors at a time on the island it’s easy to feel you have this magical place all to yourself. The house reef is breathtaking with a wonderful array of fish. We were even very fortunate to have an eagle ray and a white tipped reef shark swimming with us. But the wonderful animals on land are not to be missed either. We stayed in a sunset overwater pool villa, just wow! It had every single amenity we needed and was kept amazingly clean. The view was breathtaking from the bed, bath and pool. The memories we have from being here will last a lifetime, this is due to the hard work by the staff that work so very hard to make this place paradise. We will miss their friendly good mornings and the laughter we’ve shared. Each of you are a slice of our paradise. Thank you xx Read less

From the moment we landed until departure we were looked after incredibly well. In fact I’d go so far as to say the management and staff provided us with our most memorable experience in the Maldives to date. They really did go over and above to make our time there very special indeed. This was the 14th resort that we have visited in the Maldives and we spent 13 wonderful nights in a 1 bedroom sunset beach villa which was stunning. We requested one of the beach villas with unobscured views of the ocean and spend most of the days chilling in the large pool gazing out over the gorgeous white sand and turquoise ocean. The room was tastefully decorated and the furniture and fabrics gave it a welcoming and high end feel. Resort staff in the Maldives have always been excellent during our visits and here was no exception but they seemed to be that bit more professional and attentive than other similar high end resorts. We never had to wait for our glasses to be topped up compared to many other resorts and they seemed to anticipate guests needs so naturally. Reinhold, the GM, was highly visible and always dropped by for a chat. A charming and interesting gentleman! It was the same for the rest of the management team as well who got it spot on and seemed genuinely invested in our experience/feedback and not appearing to chat to tick boxes. Our butler Abba was always there when we needed him and was professional and friendly. We are love to dine well on holiday and the food at the IC was excellent. The AI package is well worth it in our opinion with excellent dine-around options and a great choice of drinks. Similar to the staff, the food seemed that bit better than other resorts, both in terms of appearance and flavours with a huge amount of choice. Exceptional! Our view is that this resort is very impressive, you get the professionalism from the IC brand without any kind of corporate feel which would detract from that luxury Maldives experience. Overall this has been our best Maldives experience to date and would return in a heartbeat! Read less
