Everything you need is covered. There are champagne breakfasts, scrumptious lunches, and dinners at its international, IndoCeylon, Peking, R.A.W, M6m and Joie de Vivre restaurants. There are bottomless drinks with Champagne, whiskies, international beers, premium spirits, and more than 80 wines. There’s your complimentary mini-bar, topped up daily - even the champagne.

We visited the Maldives to celebrate my 40th birthday, and it turned out to be an experience I’ll never forget. From the moment we arrived, the resort felt like heaven on earth—peaceful, breathtaking, and incredibly welcoming. I traveled with my husband and our young son, and we were genuinely taken care of from the second we stepped onto the island. The resort exudes tranquility. It never felt busy or overcrowded, which was exactly what we were looking for—a complete escape from our hectic lives. The beaches are absolutely stunning, like something out of a dream, with soft white sand and turquoise waters that didn’t even feel real. The food was exceptional. Every dining experience was top-tier, with our favorites being the Indian restaurant and the unforgettable M6M underwater dining. Even the main buffet restaurant was far from typical—everything was made fresh to order, with no stale or pre-prepared food in sight. The beach restaurants were also fantastic, offering plenty of lighter options like salads alongside classics like burgers and pizza. The drinks were always flowing, and the staff was incredibly attentive—making sure we were always comfortable and refreshed. My husband enjoyed many of the complimentary activities included in our package, which made the holiday even more special. We went dolphin watching, snorkelling, and fishing—each experience was magical. We stayed in a water villa, which was spacious and clean. While the décor was slightly dated, the comfort and size more than made up for it. Our housekeeper was outstanding—keeping the room spotless every day and leaving sweet surprises for our son, which meant the world to us. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for making our stay so special. The level of service we received was truly the best we've ever experienced. My son still talks about the trip constantly, and we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime. A special shout-out to Ayush, our incredible butler, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless. He planned our days with care, handled every request with a smile, and made everything feel effortless. We’re also so grateful to the wonderful chefs and servers who made our dining experiences so enjoyable: Alok, Sunny, Ramesh, Anil, Rahul, Ahil, Prajwal, Dinesh, Lahem, Rishma, and Erika. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like we were leaving family behind when it was time to go. This was more than just a holiday—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with joy, peace, and unforgettable moments. We can’t wait to return. Read less
