I have fallen in love with this amazing resort. Everything is so well and quietly organised , for a first timer , I could not have made a better choice. We arrived in Male and were handed to a “Standard representative “ She guided us to the seaplane check in . Then a mini bus to the “Standard lounge , where we had a coffee and a snack whilst filling in the check in details. A sea plane delivered us to Huruvalhi island, where we were met buy, Poula our “ man that sorted everything out “from showing us around the island to booking restaurants to basically every request granted P.A…I’ve never experienced that degree of service ever before and honestly never thought I’d need ,or appreciate it but it sure beats standing in queues to make reservations for restaurants ect .He checked in with us every day using WhatsApp to ask if we needed anything, a friendly little chat about our day. We stayed in a overwater lagoon villa which was a dream, kept beautifully clean and tidy by Bablu our excellent room cleaner . The restaurants were fantastic the food presented and cooked perfectly , Jada and the lovely Angela looked after us every day. Along with everyone else . We were “ greeted with “hellos “ everywhere we went This is a truly is fantastic friendly resort. We snorkeled everyday seeing sharks ,turtles, rays and eels ,as well as all the glorious reef fish . My dream destination lived up to the dream and I will be back . Read less

A Wonderful Stay with Memorable Experiences From start to finish, our stay was truly amazing. The check-in and check-out process was smooth — one of the best we’ve experienced. The beach is absolutely stunning, with golden sands and crystal-clear waters that create a perfect tropical paradise. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Chef Nanda and his talented team — Prasanna, Jeevantha, Ashish, and Subramani — for providing an outstanding culinary experience. Our kids especially loved the food, which made our dining moments even more special. The service throughout was exceptional. Special thanks to Ayu from Kula and Faisal from In-Villa Dining. The servers were attentive and warm, making us feel truly cared for. Safety & Security Manager Raj was especially friendly with our kids, and his approachable manner gave us a great sense of comfort. Our 8-year-old daughter had a wonderful time at the Kids Club, thanks to Staicy, who kept her engaged and happy. The Front Desk and In-Villa Dining (IVD) teams also did a great job ensuring we were comfortable throughout. Host Shamau was very welcoming and shared all the necessary information to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Read less
