Our amazing Travel Agent Amit at “Simply Maldives” asked us a few pertinent questions to help him shortlist to us a choice of 3 resorts with Ozen Life Maadhoo being his no 1 recommendation given our vegetarian diet, cuisine preferences, resort amenities and relaxed style of holiday. Immediately upon leaving the baggage hall we were in the hands of the dedicated arrival team awaiting us from the Ozen Life Maadhoo hotel team. From that moment on we were escorted like royalty through to our speedboat (super luxurious) and onto our paradise Island. To not spoil it for others! the island arrival, greeting, checkin process and onboarding experience is simply amazing, unique and well thought out. It really sets the tone of the distinct level of impeccable service to experience going forward from everyone involved at the hotel. This is from boat staff, checkin, buggy drivers, groundskeepers, Butlers, waiters, chefs and housekeeping. The Director of F&B Varun Pandit made a point to come to see us on day 1 and we were so delighted that all our dietary preferences and cuisine choices were on his radar before we even mentioned them to him. It showed the level of commitment the resort team has on being customer focused and delivering highest levels of guest experience. This was further enhanced when we met May (GM) and Vipin (Resort Manager). However, as part of our water villa with slide and jacuzzi we had been assigned a butler, Anu, who was completely on point with all the things that we may wish to do in the resort, our bookings for dinner and activities and just being available for absolutely anything. Anu and the entire team made our stay here truly memorable. We have no hesitation to say that Ozen Life Maadhoo is a truly luxurious and exceptional place to book in the Maldives and ideal for a honeymoon holiday. Read less

This was an amazing experience which exceeded every expectation. The resort and location were idyllic but what really made this extraordinary was the staff and level of service. Service was warm and genuine with endless personal touches like remembering preferences, making special meals for us to showcase different cuisines, creating cocktails to match our tastes, sharing expertise about recipes and cuisine and pairing extraordinary wines with our meals. Activities and dining schedules were flexible enough to allow for a leisurely pace to our day. A week there felt like a month in terms of our level of relaxation. We stayed in both a water and beach villa and both were amazing. The beach villa offered seclusion and a tropical feel with the ocean and beach footsteps away from your door and the water villa offered the calming and serene Indian Ocean waves with wondrous sea life surrounding you. The all inclusive program here was beyond generous and we wanted for nothing - it was an exceptional value. We are so grateful for the attentive service of our dining staff Shamna, Erika, and Shi, our favorite cocktail creator Danielle, Manu who consistently poured amazing wine, Sanjan who created a different fresh juice for me each morning and Chef Sonny and Chef Sambu who created special dishes for us. We will never forget the customized and extraordinary dining experience Chef Sambu made for us on our last night. This was a bucket list trip for us and our expectations which were high were exceeded every respect. We are already planning for our return. Read less

An unforgettable stay — absolutely worth the money OZEN Madhoo Maldives exceeded every expectation and was truly worth every penny. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned — including the boat transfer, which is conveniently included, making arrival and departure stress-free. The property itself is stunning — pristine beaches, crystal-clear water, and beautifully designed villas that feel both luxurious and relaxing. Every corner of the resort feels well maintained and serene. What really sets OZEN Madhoo apart is the exceptional staff. Everyone was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuinely eager to make our stay special. Traveling with kids can be challenging, but this resort is extremely kid-friendly. They accommodated many of our requests without hesitation. The kids club was fantastic, with fun activities, toys, and very kind staff. They even had bikes for little kids, which our children absolutely loved. The kitchen went above and beyond by preparing special food for our baby, which made a huge difference for us as parents. A special shoutout to Mr. Varun, Director of Food, who truly made our stay extraordinary. He personally looked after us and ensured that special meals were prepared for us — even when they weren’t on the menu. His care and attention made us feel genuinely valued. To top it all off, on our last day the team surprised us with a beautifully decorated room and a flower bath to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful, memorable gesture and the perfect way to end an incredible stay. OZEN Madhoo delivers luxury with heart. We left with amazing memories and would absolutely return — highly recommended for couples, families, and anyone looking for a truly special Maldives experience. Read less
