I know you're here after looking at a lot of different resorts but believe me Ozen Life Madhoo is above all. Why? Because of everything. Service, location, Villas, Views, Hospitality, Food and Butler Service. 10/10. Ayush Jain was our Butler and he managed our trip really well.

we are returning guests to ozen and somehow it just get better . From the moment we arrived we were reminded why we fell in love with this island and its staff in the first place . We split our stay between a beach villa and a water villa with pool , which was the perfect way to experience both sides of the island . The beach villa was beautifully private and peaceful , while the water villa was simply breathtaking. Waking up to those uninterrupted ocean views was unforgettable. The staff are absolutely amazing and a special mention goes to our friend and butler SIRI . she couldn’t do enough for us , nothing was too much trouble ,which made our stay feel effortless and extra special . We loved how the chef ( SUNNY ) would come to the table to ask what we would like and tailor dishes to our preferences - such a thoughtful touch . And such a lovely man . So many staff members stood out for us - each one going above and beyond with warmth and genuine care : big shout out to Ali, a hill, jalley , ruel ,Zane ,kien ,ericka ,Maria ,tiff , madheeh and Sajan . A special mention to our lovely friends SIRI & MUSKAN , who got up early to wave goodbye on our departure day- that small but incredibly thoughtful gesture truly brought a tear to our eye and perfectly sums up the heartfelt hospitality at ozen . The food the service the spa the daily boat trips and surroundings - everything is consistently outstanding . A true 10/10 experience ,we already can’t wait to return . Read less

We visited Ozen Life as a special anniversary trip coupled with a week’s stay in Sri Lanka. From the moment we boarded the speedboat to the island, with such a warm welcome, we just relaxed into pure luxury and comfort. We spent a week on the island. My husband has been diving in many locations globally and said this was amongst the best diving of his life... a huge thank you to Mao and the team for the wonderful experience. Although there are quite a few rooms in the hotel, I was amazed that the beach was always so empty. There’s definitely no issues getting a sun chair/ spot by the pool at this resort. A special mention on the food which is plentiful and amongst the best I’ve ever had. The choice is insane - sushi, ramen, salad, pasta, bbq - you name it, you can eat it! I was also really pleased to see an extensive mocktail list which is often neglected in hotels that offer packages like the Indulgence one. Great attention also to vegetarians and those with food allergies. The room was wonderful, spacious and kept spotless by the housekeeping team. The hotel team overall were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our time special. A special mention also to Ayush, Praveen & Bonni in particular. We definitely hope to be back in the future.

Maadhoo Island offers a secluded island getaway feel which is close enough to travel from the airport by boat with children. Being able to bike around the beautiful beaches under vine trees is something we will miss, especially under the moon! Ayush our butler was extremely helpful and attentive whenever we needed anything. Children’s bikes seemed to be in short supply and shared thinly across the villas so some investment here is needed. The food was amazing in all restaurants, everywhere was clean and tidy. The excursions were well organised and WiFi reception always good 👍 Kids club seemed geared towards smaller children so our 7 and 9 yo didn’t attend but there was plenty to do enjoying the wildlife and swimming. The spa here was fantastic, special recommendation for Rachit who is very knowledgeable on spa workshops, also a small dark haired male personal trainer who I did a yoga and sound bath with was very good. Both left me feeling like I’d had a personal one to one experience and I learned so much from them. Overall we would definitely recommend this Ozen island to friends and family. Read less

We have just returned from our first visit to Ozen Maadhoo. It was an impromptu trip after our original trip to Oman was cancelled - and what a wonderful substitution it was! My husband and I travelled with our three teenage daughters and we could not have been looked after any better by the amazing team at Ozen Maadhoo. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcomed and at home. A particular shout out to Shahad who was always on hand to make our stay perfect. This was most evident when one of our daughters arrived feeling unwell - within 10 minutes of contacting Shahad, she was seen by a doctor and given medication. Again, as we left and one of our suitcases broke, Shahad was on hand to help with other luggage options! The water villa with pool that we stayed in was so very comfortable and cleaned to such a high standard, twice a day. Sitting on our sunlounger as the sun went down each day was an absolute delight. We very much enjoyed our evenings at M6M, IndoCeylon and IndoPeking - the food and service was excellent at all. Lunch by the pool at JdV was always a lovely chance to relax and watch the world go by. And our lunch at LONO was absolutely delicious and a great opportunity to try some local delicacies. Our treatments at the Elena Spa were absolutely wonderful and totally restorative. Sitting on the beautiful white sand beach, overlooking the turquoise Indian ocean each day was so wonderful. We loved the feeling of the resort - relaxed yet vibrant, understated but luxurious - and hope to visit again, soon! Read less
