The hotel

Spread across two stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand. Children are catered for, with dedicated play areas, a kids club, and a teen hangout area. And there’s no need for a seaplane, as this resort is 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat – what a way to arrive!

The extended delay at the airport on landing was soon forgotten when we arrived by speedboat at the resort. The warm welcome was very special with music, a glass of bubbly and your own host awaiting. This is where we have to mention Raail, such a helpful friendly member of staff who was our PA throughout our stay. This is done by WhatsApp for whatever you need. We were soon transported to our villa which was amazing! A grand beach villa with pool, quite overwhelming and perfect, highly recommended. Our favourite restaurant was the Malaafaiy and another mention to Hemant who needs a personal thank you to the management from us. This is a buffet style restaurant and after visiting the pre bookable venues on all 3 islands we would advise to avoid as the dine around option is sub standard and one of the negatives during our stay. AK and Shai were lovely and so polite and also need a mention. Anurang makes a perfect cocktail!! Top tips- bring enough sun screen as it’s very expensive here. Invest in beach/swim shoes, the coral sand can be quite sharp. Eat at the Malaafaiy and chat with all the staff, so much to learn. We would definitely return! Read less

The staff were all great and helpful but our host Yousif was the best and he made our experience 10x better. He was very quick to respond to any requests and also made sure to give us the best possible holiday. Also, since we were on our honeymoon Yousif got us a welcome drink with fruits and room decoration, a lovely dolphin cruise and a dinnner all for free. Will definitely visit again. Read less

On arrival the receptionist Mei was very friendly and attentive to us. The massage room was very nice and romantic. The massage therapists Mei and Nima made us feel very comfortable and the massage was very relaxing. Would highly recommend.
