    The facilities seem to need a refresh, especially the gym equipment!!! Also, the process of getting there could be streamlined to avoid the lengthy transfers!!! A more direct seaplane option would be appreciated!!!

    pristine island
    unforgettable snorkeling
    family activities
    limited dining options

    We had an amazing time experiencing the pristine beauty of this island with our kids. The snorkeling was unforgettable, and my daughters loved exploring the CoolZone, where they enjoyed games and activities in a safe environment. Yoga on the dock was a highlight for me!

    In my wife’s opinion, more family-friendly dining options would enhance the experience.

    The beach villa was stunning! The private pool and spacious layout made for a perfect retreat. I loved the direct access to the beach and enjoyed lounging on the sundeck with a view of the turquoise waters. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay truly special.

    Seaplane transfer was a bit lengthy.

    heavenly stay but minor transfer hiccup

    The sunset views from our Sunset Water Villa with Infinity Pool were unforgettable. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay feel unique, giving personalized recommendations for activities that enhanced our experience. The commitment to sustainability impressed us. the in-house grown vegetables tasted fresh and flavorful, making each meal a delight.

    The seaplane transfer to the resort was more costly than we anticipated.

    spectacular views
    modern furnishings
    inviting outdoor space
    costly transfer
    limited dining

    Staying in a Sunrise Water Villa with Infinity Pool gives you exceptional views and direct access to the warm, tranquil waters—perfect for a quiet getaway. The villa boasts modern furnishings, an inviting outdoor space for lounging, and an incredible mini-bar stocked daily, which are great touches for an unforgettable vacation.

    Getting to the hotel requires a local flight, and the seaplane ride can take over an hour. just know it can be a costly process. The isolation enhances serenity, but long commute times might not suit everyone. Additionally, while the breakfasts serve a variety of options, the dining could benefit from more continental selections, especially if you’re craving familiarity after rigorous travel.

    infinity pool
    snorkeling activities
    lengthy transfer

    Had an awesome time with friends! Snorkeling was top-notch, and we loved the infinity pool at our beachfront villa. Standing out were the daily activities, from paddle boarding to beach volleyball, offering non-stop fun. The staff’s warmth and their attention truly made a difference. Highly recommend!

    The only downside was the lengthy transfer to get from Male, taking about 8 hours, which was a drag.

    stunning views
    great service
    delicious food
    beach shade
    seaplane discomfort

    The over-water villa absolutely blew my mind! It felt like a slice of paradise. The clear turquoise water was mesmerizing, and the snorkeling just a few steps from the villa revealed a vibrant underwater world with colorful fish and even turtles. Loved having my own private plunge pool. perfect for relaxing after a day of sun. The food blew me away—so many dining options! I especially appreciated the freshness of the seafood. the Maldivian fish curry was a standout. Service was on point. staff made dining reservations and handled all our requests seamlessly. One downside was the beach area. it lacked some shaded spots, making it hard to find relief from the sun. The private dining in the wine cellar? An unforgettable experience. The seaplane ride is long, which might not be for everyone, but the views while flying in were stunning. Little things like complimentary champagne on arrival and the warm welcome made a great impression. Overall, such an incredible getaway to reset and recharge. Can't wait to return!

    attentive staff

    would definitely return here

    Amazing beach villa with a private pool and spacious layout. The bathroom had both a shower and a tub, and the minibar was refilled daily. Breakfast at Kakuni was delicious with freshly baked items and a huge variety. The staff was super attentive, especially Rizam, who checked in on us often. Spa had great services like massages and treatments, perfect for relaxation.

    overwater sunset villa
    superb ocean grill
    long transfer wait
    high dining prices

    Experiencing the overwater sunset villa was truly magical, with stunning views and luxurious amenities. The food, particularly at the Ocean Grill, was splendid but a bit pricey. Service was friendly, yet the 5-hour wait for our transfer was frustrating after long travel. Overall, an unforgettable stay!

    romantic dining

    Couples seeking unforgettable romance

    The staff treated us like family, especially our host who would check in on us at all times just to see if we needed anything. One night, they set up a beautiful table just for us right on the beach, it was magical watching the stars with a bottle of bubbly in hand.

    It wasn't inexpensive but worth every penny.
