The food here (and obviously the view) was just incredible. We did find the buffet restaurant a little lacking in choices but the food was delicious all the same. Having previously stayed at Kanifushi I’m not sure this hotel warrants the big price difference between the 2 islands . Kanifushi was equally as fabulous and was a cheaper option! Having said that ,we did enjoy our stay although not sure we would return . Read less

Overall the resort was great but what really made it was the entire staff , from the team that cleaned the beach to our butler Ayush who was spectacular and always on call. Particularly liked the Indian restaurant that cooked anything we wanted, as indeed do other if pre ordered. Shame no house reef but that’s no fault of the resort. If I was very picky I’d suggest the pool bar extends to the other side where the dive centre is ,as when we were there we had strong winds and that would have not been an issue if the bar was open on the other side of the building.

From the moment we arrived at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, we were enveloped in warmth, kindness, and impeccable service. I came to celebrate my 40th birthday, and thanks to the incredible team here, it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Every detail was flawless, every moment filled with joy – this truly is a slice of paradise. A few special mentions that made our stay truly unforgettable: Siri – Our lovely waitress at Palms and Peking. Siri is an absolute gem – loving, caring, and always making sure we were looked after. She greeted us with the warmest smiles and hugs when we needed them most. Her presence alone made us feel at home. Vishal, the talented sous chef at M6M, went above and beyond to deliver exquisite food and an exceptional dining experience. Alok, the Executive Head Chef – what a legend! He checked in on us every single evening, genuinely making sure we were enjoying our meals and having a great time. That level of consistency and care says so much about his leadership and passion. We have so much respect and appreciation for him. Ayush, our wonderful butler, was a true star throughout. He constantly checked in on us and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. Despite having multiple other families to support, he always made us feel like we were at the top of his list – which just shows how exceptional and personal his service truly is. His calm, attentive presence gave us so much peace of mind and made the whole experience seamless from start to finish. Dinesh, one of the waiters, always looked after us with a cheerful attitude and attentive care. When he was around, we felt completely at ease and taken care of. Muskan, our waitress at M6M, was an absolute delight – every course was served with a smile, and she shared such thoughtful detail about each dish. She really added something special to our evening. Sunny, the chef at IndoCeylon, was so lovely and accommodating. He made sure we had the exact dishes we craved, even preparing butter chicken and fresh bread on request – off-menu and all. That’s the kind of thoughtful service that stays with you. Even at checkout, the resort went above and beyond. Though our checkout time was 11am and our speedboat wasn’t until 3:30pm, the staff ensured we still had full access to all food and drink offerings until we left. That level of care gave us such peace of mind – we weren’t just guests until checkout, we were looked after right up to the very end. It made us even happier knowing we were valued throughout our entire stay. Every single member of staff was exceptional. The atmosphere across the resort is one of genuine care and happiness – it’s clear they’re treated well, and that warmth reflects in how they treat their guests. We felt valued, relaxed, and so well taken care of. This is not just a resort – it’s a place that nourishes your soul. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again and again. Thank you, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, for making my 40th birthday so magical. Until next time Read less

Best vacation ever, said by someone who traveled a lot and always find things to improve. But at Ozen everything was perfect. The food, drinks, beaches, activities, diving, kindness of the staff. Really superb experience. Thanks in particular Anu and Sheshkanta for the amazing support.
