I had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable vacation on this beautiful island in the Maldives. The scenery here is breathtaking, with clear blue sea, soft white sand and stunning natural views everywhere.
The hotel is comfortable and elegant with great living conditions. What impressed me most is the personal butler service. The butler, Tharif Mohamed, is responsible, careful, thoughtful and considerate all the time. He arranged all travel schedules, daily needs and various matters perfectly, and responded to every request promptly.
The whole trip was relaxing and pleasant. Everything including scenery, accommodation and service is perfect. It is truly a fantastic holiday experience, and I highly recommend this amazing resort!

My girlfriend and I visited in March and had a wonderful time at the resort.
The service was amazing from the start. Our villa host, Kumar was very amiable and caring. We had pre-booked our meals, but he coordinated everything so well and made sure our schedule ran perfectly and promptly attended to all our requests so we didn't have to worry about anything.
We stayed in a Water Villa, and the room was perfect. It had everything we needed and offered direct access to the lagoon. We also loved having bicycles to get around the resort. We saw baby sharks and so many colorful fishes right under our villa and along the walkways every single day, and we even managed to spot a manta ray late one night, even though it wasn't the typical season for them! We also took advantage of the dolphin cruise that was included in our package—it was an incredible experience and something we’ll never forget.
Coming to the food and restaurants, it was very well organized and there was so much variety to choose from every day. A massive shout-out to Chef Jibin, who made multiple special meals just for us—including an incredible lunch thali at Aqua. He really went above and beyond to cater to our needs and made us feel like we were at home. Another highlight was our dinner at Mediterraneo. I also had a lovely birthday surprise at Le Asiatique, where the pastry chef Soyza, made the best vegan cake we’ve ever had.
A huge thanks to the rest of the team who looked after us so well, and made our stay feel extra special.
Can't wait to visit again!

Just returned from 10 days at this resort. It was our first time in the Maldives and we were very happy with our choice! The accommodation, food and service were excellent. Staff couldn’t do enough for us - a shout out to Elite, our villa host, Arres, Pryanka, Ram, Joseph and all of the wonderful chefs ( who cooked us individual fish and curry dishes) waiters, and waitresses at the restaurants - we know we’ve missed many names but they are all great, greeting us daily with a warm smile and a ‘can do’ attitude 👍
From the seamless arrival at the resort to our departure in inclement weather, we were well looked after throughout the holiday, and our requests were dealt with promptly.
Highly recommend!
