Just home after an absolutely amazing two week visit from start to end. Iru Veli staff looked after us impeccably, from walking out of arrivals at Male airport everything was made as seamless as possible! Our ambassador Shakeeb was fantastic in making sure our stay ran smoothly, Chaw and Sailesh at Chemistry Bar made every afternoon fun with delicious cocktails while our daughter splashed around in the pool, Shine at Aqua orange who treated our daughter like a princess, Jaihedul our housekeeper did so many fantastic towels designs and kept our room spotless, Pooja at Roma made those special meals out amazing, Aira looked after our daughter at kids club so well she begged to go back every afternoon! There were so many others whose names we don’t remember that went above and beyond every single day! We have already tasked our travel agent with getting us back there next year! Read less
