Our experience at Swarn was exceptional. The staff greeted us warmly at the jetty, making us feel immediately welcome. The check-in process was seamless, and the team had already taken our lunch order while we were still at Dharavandhoo jetty—service you don’t often find even in luxury hotels. Our personal host was incredibly attentive, staying in touch via WhatsApp throughout our stay. The ocean views from our room and bathroom were truly the highlight, offering a serene and calming atmosphere. The rooms were well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and both the service and cleanliness were top-notch. The food was plentiful and impressive for a local island in the Maldives. Kamadhoo, located in BAA Atoll, is an underrated island that truly is a hidden gem. The beaches are stunning, especially the expansive Bikini Beach. The island is convenient with a few cafes, restaurants, and shops. The local residents are kind and welcoming. The reefs near the beach are well-maintained and incredibly beautiful. We also enjoyed a Manta excursion, just a few minutes from the island, where we had the amazing experience of seeing Mantas up close. The excursion was well-organized by Rifaa and his team. Additionally, the spa therapist, Erna, provided an excellent massage, enhancing our overall relaxation. We will definitely return again and again!

Our stay at Reethi Beach Resort was nothing short of magical! The location and accommodation is absolutely beautiful and the staff are so incredibly lovely! We stayed in one of the stunning over-water villas and were able to step off our balcony into the turquoise blue ocean, where just underneath the surface was one of the most beautiful and healthy reefs we've ever seen (and we're from Australia with the Great Barrier Reef). On the house reef alone there were 1000s of beautiful tropical fish, turtles, reef sharks, dolphins, and even manta rays! The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as wonderful as possible! Some key angels on the island include: At the Moodoo Bar and Restaurant (beautiful over-water restaurant): Rayan, Emee, Reefa, Ali and Chandra At the Coconut Spa: Shivali and her wonderful team At the bar: The sweetest bartender Priya And the managers Dammi and Gaurang The food and drink on the island was absolutely delicious and there was such a wide range of it too! Would highly recommend the private beach dinner and sunrise breakfast, as well as the wine pairing dinner and beach BBQ. We went with the breakfast only package which worked really well for us as we could dine wherever we liked (which was more often than not the Moodoo bar where the lovely and friendly staff were). The only point of feedback was that the dive centre is quite disorganised and not great at communicating. We came during the first weekend of August for the manta ray cyclone at Baa Atoll and were unfortunately unable to see the cyclone due to the lack of communication from the dive centre. However, Barney almost made up for it with the incredible night snorkelling with a 10m whale shark! In any case, the snorkelling and freediving on the house reef was spectacular. Also, the mattresses in the villas could be made softer. We are hoping to come back to the Maldives soon and will now always stay at Reethi Beach Resort as our holiday there was that magical.

Everything.

Everything was wonderful. Especially diving center is amazing. Thank you Mr Areej and Dimitrios for everything. We really love the employees and everything.

The welcome was incredible and instantly put up into relaxation mode, the service and choice of food was excellent. The colours of the water were so special. Could not have asked for a better honeymoon. We loved every minute. The boat trip to see dolphins was 10/10. Everything about this is 5* luxury, we will be recommending to family and friends. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Pros: - Unreal natural landscape. Beautiful clean shallow beaches, pleasant weather, intermittent rain showers, seclusion and privacy, serene sound and feel of wind 100% of the time… it was truly an unreal experience that comes with the natural Maldives eco system. - Another eye candy was to observe lots of fishes and marine life up-close, probably due to legal ban on fishing. - They provided snacks in the breakfast prior to our departure in the last day at 5:45 AM. - Chefs were friendly and helped twice in providing out of menu items upon requests - Breakfast offerred lots of options

Location. Staff. Food

All the meals provided were excellent, tasty and well prepared, authentic local cuisine. Options available. The location itself was fantastic; spacious and well furnished, luxurious while still retaining the island vibes., very private and airy. There are shops and local dining places close by so very convenient. The beach is also close by.

Everything. Since you enter, you feel like a home. Owners and all staff are very kind and helpful. The island is clean and bikini beach really close to guesthouse. You can borrow all equipment for snorkeling for free. There is a great rooftop where you can practice yoga or just have a rest with coffee.

It was like paradise. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations. Fantastic service and kindest staff. Special thanks to Destiny from Boli bar. Outstanding A la Carte restaurant with delicious food. The beach villa was excellent with amazing ocean view.
