STAFF STAFF STAFF!!!! HeadChef Fernando and Chef Ashidul went put of their way to make our stay magical. The staff are so accommodating and friendly at this resort, but those two chefs left a long lasting impression. How amazing! I would go back, just to see them! Our room was perfect, we always had sunshine and a private view of the sunset. Water Villa 21 was definitely the best! Food was amazing Entertainment on a Friday night was great with Maldivian night. Water is clear The staff were so polite and always said hello The hotel gave us free late checkout because our return flight was so late

The best vacation one could hope for.. From the breathtaking view to the ever smiling staff, the stay was magical..

Javed India

Covid restrictions limited the buffet style breakfast and dinner, but the food was really good. The chefs are excellent and go out of their way to meet your requirements

Tanya South Africa

Stunning water villas, amazing service, super f&b. Incredible clear water. Housekeeping fantastic. ALL staff highly professional.

Eleanor United Arab Emirates

Water villa, food and hospitality - all were great! We were going on dive trips with a boat every day - enjoyed the fantastic water world!

Andréa Sweden

Everything ! It was my first trip to the Maldives and loved it. Everyone was very nice and helpful, the resort and the island are amazing and all was catered for. There were a number of COVID safety measures in place that transmitted confidence. I was sad to leave and would recommend this resort to everyone.

Sofia United Kingdom

The island is a small paradise, we stayed both on beach and water villas, water villas are larger with a big terrace and breakfasts & dinners in à la carte restaurant are included. The staff is very helpful and kind, resort manager Chris, Victor from water sports and all the cooks and waiters make you feel really great. Ideal location for couples - very calm and relaxed. Highly recommended. Everyday tours for snorkeling to other reefs, fishing, whale sharks and rays. Home reef: lots of fish, turtles and sharks (friendly ones so don’t worry) but corals suffered from 2016 warming and are slowly recovering. To see lots of corals the hotel organizes tours to the other reefs (40 min by boat). Food is great.

Anton Russia

We stayed in WV n.1, which we really recommend for the view on the island, the seaside “swimming pool style” and the convenience to the WV restaurant. The food was fantastic, with raw fish almost everyday and the grilled fish being the one you will remember for long time. The Villa is bright, huge, with comfortable bed and even if doesn’t have any pool or bath, you don’t miss them thanks to the unique microclimate of the island (perfect mix between light wind and water temperature).

Silvia Switzerland

Friendly staff, great management, beautiful location, great food, felt really safe from a COVID perspective, staff even organized mandatory PCR test for our departure

Stephan Azerbaijan

Everything - the whole team go out of their way to make your stay perfect and take such pride in finding ways to exceed your expectations.
