The hotel

It’s hard to return to everyday life after a stay at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI: the very definition of luxury. Whatever villa you choose, it's entirely secluded, but still gives direct access to the beach or lagoon, putting you just a swim from one of South Malé Atoll’s healthiest house reefs and five shipwrecks. At your villa, every luxury awaits: an oversized L-shaped pool (you can swim from your bathroom, around your villa, to your terrace), semi-open rain showers, interactive TVs, even adjustable mood lighting. In fact, it will be impossible to holiday anywhere else after you’ve lazed on the daybeds enjoying cocktails at OZAR, dined with your feet in the sand at SANGU BEACH woken early for yoga in the ElLENA Elements of Nature Spa and sunk into the massage table in an overwater treatment room.

What a place, we had a great time here. Very relaxing. Experience at the airport and transfer to the resort was very smooth, and a lovely welcome onto the island. We had an Ocean Pool Suite - room was amazing. Food was fantastic and the service was very good - extremely friendly and helpful staff. Our kids had a great time doing the art class (extra fee for this) - they produced 2 great canvas paintings as a wonderful memory of our trip. We enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming and found it a great place to relax. My only issue was a minor one - the booking of the restaurants - this was done for us when we arrived. We were there for 4 nights. Our two bookings for fine dining (Origine and Soyu) were at 21:00 - while the other two bookings (Sangu and Saffron) were at 19:00. With two children, 21:00 is quite late to eat. We asked if it was possible for the later bookings to be moved forward to 19:00 - our butler said he'd try his best to move but was unable to do so. I understand that these restaurants can't fit in everyone at once - but what was disappointing was that on both occasions there was hardly anybody else dining at 21:00 - Origine had two other tables eating late, Soyu had one table other than us - so it seemed that most other guests were able to book earlier dining slots - it was a shame that we could not be accommodated earlier. As I say - it's a minor issue - it didn't detract from what was overall a fantastic stay and we would definitely return to this wonderful resort. Read less

This trip has been amazing, the room we stayed in here is very good, with a great view of the sea, and is very suitable for snorkeling, and saw many small fish. The buffet restaurants are all very delicious, and the dishes in the specialty restaurants are also very exotic, and the scenery is very beautiful. The happiest thing for me every day is to go to different bars to drink, it makes me feel very excited, and the taste of every kind of wine is very good,especially the bartender khai nisan from Sangu bar,can make drinks as demand,it's been an incredible time here.

My partner and I went to visit bolifushi in May. From the very first minute, we had the most amazing holiday. Our Butler Anvy was there to help with anything we needed, and offering to take us on the buggy anywhere we wanted. We also had bikes to use for our duration. We chose to walk mostly to counteract all the beautiful food and drink. The quality of the food in all the restaurants was fantastic. Service in all areas was second to none. We used the dive facilities and Donovan made us feel at ease as we hadn’t done a dive for 11years. We would go back in a heartbeat. Read less

An easy 5 star Service award! What separates Ozen Bolifushi from so many other Maldivian islands (have been to seven others beforehand) is the quality of people care. This is more than just customer service, from the moment just pass though arrivals to the moment to go to the departure lounge the level of care is fantastic. You are greeting at arrivals, luggage taken, resort check in completed all whilst you sit and have refreshments in the Ozen lounge whilst you wait for your Catamaran to take you to the island. At the Island you are greeting warmly by many members of the resort team, getting our first introduction to Leroy (Resort Manager), Ahsan (Butler) and Aakash (Food & Bev) amongst many others. Our time at the island was memorable for many reasons, whether it be the wonderful treatments, amazing food (so much choice and all of a high standard), exceptional people care everywhere you went on the island or just simply the beauty of the island. Whilst we were there our son got an ear inflection and again the level of care was fantastic, so thank you Doc! Every member of the team we came across was amazing, so engaging and helpful at all times. There are too many* to mention however, I will say that Leroy as Resort Manager sets the standards and leads by example at all times. Huge shout outs for our amazing Butler Ahsan, nothing was too much trouble and gave 5 star service . And Nancy @ Orgin who was very engaging and knowledge when doing the wine pairing at dinner. After 12 days I was ready to go back home, no that a lie, I was ready to stay another 12 days. Thank you to the whole team for our great holiday P.S It doesn't end when you leave the island, again at the airport take care of your transition from boat to departure lounge so well (Thanks Ali).
