From the moment we arrived on the island, everything was just perfect. A big thank you to our amazing host Rushikesh, who made our entire stay seamless and truly memorable. Traveling with a small child can be tricky, but the staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout. We stayed two nights in the Beach Villa and one night in the Water Villa—both were absolutely beautiful and offered different experiences. The Bagicha restaurant was fantastic, and a special shout-out to Sanjana at the Lagoon Restaurant, who went the extra mile by arranging baby food and making sure our little one was always looked after. Not to forget—they arranged a lovely special dinner for us, which made our trip even more memorable. Such thoughtful gestures truly set this resort apart. Even after checkout, since we had a late-night flight, they provided a comfortable room for us to relax. That level of care and attention made a big difference. Highly recommend this resort for families and couples alike looking for a peaceful, well-managed, and beautiful island experience! Read less

He even arranged an upgraded room for us for two nights at the overwater villas. The service is just amazing all over and we were taken well care of from the moment we landed on male airport until we left again. Also, the food in the buffets are well tasting and has multiple stations where you can get fresh dishes as you want. Read less

I also went for my 2nd Scuba Dive and it was legendary. Sharks, turtles, stingrays, fishes, corals - it was all amazing. So was the semi-submarine ride as also the beach volleyball (played after 15 years btw). Jester’s fireshow, the violin at The Lagoon, Jacuzzi at the Araamu Spa, the Beach Villa, the Water Villa - it was like Talespin and so real. Maldives has my heart… Also, would like to mention Aimon - the photographer and Dhana - the concierge were very welcoming. Thank you all for making it a birthday to remember for life. Lots of love from me, my wife and my son. May God bless you all. Until next time-… Read less

It was amazing! Thank you Ajlan for your help! The island is wonderful. And the ocean and nature is beautiful. I can recommend this island. The food was delicious. And we could choose many activities. We lived in a beach villa and it was perfect for me, my daughter and my mother.
