The hotel

Spread across two stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

And there’s no need for a seaplane, as this resort is 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat – what a way to arrive!

What an amazing evening, spending it aboard our very own floating cinema. The experience was totally unique and memories were made to last a lifetime. Jaasim, Jilla & Laish were fantastic hosts, as were all onboard the Dhoni. The children left suitably full on popcorn and out of our four visits to the Maldives, this was by far their favourite part. I could not recommend the experience enough. It is definitely a must-do when visiting the beautiful Oluhveli resort. Thank you all again for the most special, memorable evening! Read less
