    stunning views

    amazing accessibility to landmarks and beach experiences

    We truly appreciated how close we were to Dhiddhoofinolhu, just a few steps away, which made our daily strolls so enjoyable, and we loved the convenience of exploring Didu, only almost 2 km from our room, adding to our adventure by offering stunning views and local charm. as a family with children, the activities available kept everyone engaged and happy.

    friendly staff
    minimal water supply
    staff unresponsive

    The staff are friendly and helpful.

    I was disappointed with the minimal water supply during our stay. We only received two bottles of water daily, which was insufficient, especially in the heat. I had to beg at multiple locations just to get more water for my child.

    water villa
    dining variety
    sunset views
    basic villas

    Staying in a water villa, you get direct access to the crystal-clear lagoon right beneath your feet, which is a highlight of any Maldives experience. The all-inclusive dining options provide a wide variety of cuisine, with sunsets viewed perfectly from the Island Bar, making it a great spot for evening relaxation.

    The water villas are a bit basic and not as upscale as I expected, with a plunge pool that feels more like a chilly pond during low tide. Accessing excursions can be a hassle. waiting for buses that only come every 10-15 minutes can eat into your schedule, especially if you miss one and have to trek back. Also, the absence of a house reef means snorkeling trips can be limited, and sometimes they cancel due to weather, which can be frustrating.

    exceptional views
    warm service
    private setting
    slippery stairs
    confusing all-inclusive
    limited dining options

    I enjoyed my stay in a Romantic Pool Water Villa, where the views and privacy were exceptional. However, the slippery stairs to the water were a concern, and the all-inclusive options could be clearer regarding exclusions. Despite these issues, the service was warm and welcoming, making it a pleasant experience overall.

    breathtaking views
    attentive service
    high dining costs
    logistical hiccups

    The water villa experience was stunning with breathtaking views and direct ocean access. Enjoyed incredible fresh fish dishes and an abundant variety of other food options, all at exceptional quality. The staff provided attentive service, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel special. However, the costs for dining were quite high, adding significant taxes, which made meal planning a bit challenging.

    private dining
    snorkeling adventures
    spa services
    slippery stairs

    I had an amazing time celebrating my husband's birthday with private dining options that made us feel extra special. The daily snorkeling adventures were a highlight. The spa offered the best massages and the beach access was perfect for relaxation. Just a minor note, the stairs to the water villa were a bit slippery, so be careful, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience! 🌊

    attentive service
    fine drinks

    Couples seeking romance, look no further!

    The staff at this place made our honeymoon lovely, especially the bartender named Rup at the East Bar, who whipped up the best cocktails I've ever had. The beachside dining experience was really good, with freshly grilled seafood and attentive service that made us feel like royalty every night.

    Sure, it wasn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for in paradise.

    stunning island
    charming staff
    restaurant reservations
    additional charges

    The island is stunning, with beautiful sandy beaches and charming staff who genuinely care about guests. However, issues with restaurant reservations and additional charges for meals can be frustrating. Water activities offer plenty of excitement, yet the dining arrangements fell short of expectations.
