Had a lovely honeymoon here. The service was super friendly all around the island, especially thanks to our roomboy Naseer and waiter Shiraz for great service and kindness. We upgraded to premium all inclusive which was useful, wider options for drinks and better value for money. Highly recommend to book Ying&Yang treatment at the spa for couples.… Read more
Had a lovely honeymoon here. The service was super friendly all around the island, especially thanks to our roomboy Naseer and waiter Shiraz for great service and kindness. We upgraded to premium all inclusive which was useful, wider options for drinks and better value for money. Highly recommend to book Ying&Yang treatment at the spa for couples. Overwater Villa was spacious and beautiful, you can see sharks, rays and more sealife from the window on the floor. If you're light sleeper, recommend to bring ear plugs since the roof makes noice due wind. The island is clean and gorgeous, strongly recommend. We stayed for 7 nights but should've stayed at least 10 nights since the weather can be unpredictable in October. Read less

Most beautiful place for our honeymoon. The staff are amazing and very welcoming. Couldn’t do any more for you. Special mention for Humaidh who was our room boy, did a great job cleaning the room and the little touches with the bed designs, always checked if we needed anything else, nothing was too much.

Special mention for Humaidh who was our room boy, did a great job cleaning the room and the little touches with the bed designs, always checked if we needed anything else, nothing was too much. The food was great and plenty of options. The bar and food staff were quick with drinks and were really friendly all the time. Only fault we could find was with the over water bungalow, the roof is made of like a canvas so if it is heavy rain or wind this takes a little bit to get used to with the noise but didn’t ruin the holiday and after a night or two you hardly notice it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Culinary Experience to Remember – Thanks to an Incredible Team! I have travelled far and wide, but I can confidently say that the food prepared by Charuna, Kelum, and Anjali has been the best I’ve ever had on holiday — hands down. Every single dish was made with such care, precision, and passion. The attention to detail was absolutely flawless, and it didn’t go unnoticed… I put on 14lbs and have zero regrets! It was that good. A huge shoutout as well to the amazing bar staff — Menaka and Nandana — who couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they did it all with big smiles and such warmth that made us feel genuinely welcome every single day. Thank you to everyone who made our trip so special. You truly went above and beyond, and we’ll remember this experience for a long time to come. Can’t wait to come back Read less
