Where to even begin… our stay at Whale Shark Beach is one we will not forget. The staff were so accommodating and friendly for our entire stay. They always welcomed us back from our excursions or just afternoons out on the beach and always wanted to know what we had done that day. The food was immaculate and we ended up eating at the hotel every night so we could keep trying things off the menu. The rooftop dining area is especially lovely, it’s nice to be able to see the stars during the evening. The excursions team were absolutely incredible. We saw dolphins, turtles, various reefs and had an unforgettable experience swimming with manta rays. The team were also incredibly generous and allowed us to join two additional manta ray and whale shark trips for no additional cost after we had not seen them initially. The boat was well equipped and the team were incredibly focussed on guest safety in the water as well as enjoyment. Another key thing that we applaud the excursions team on is ensuring the safety and well being of the wild animals we saw whilst out on the sea. The boat engine was immediately turned off as soon as we saw dolphins and they kept a good distance away instead of chasing and harassing the animals. Additionally, prior to one of our whale shark tours we were briefed on how to swim with the animal safely and were reminded that if anyone tried to touch or swim to close to the animal they would be removed from the water. As someone who works in marine animal conservation, I applaud the team at Whale Shark Beach for putting the animals first and ensuring that both them and the guests could have a safe and enjoyable experience. The room was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’d ever slept in and very spacious. The television also had smart options available to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime which was a big bonus.

Fantastic stay. The property is brand new , all the staff is really nice and cooperative. Rooms are very nice, new with minimal furniture, big and very clean. The sea view is stunning. It is a peaceful place, the only one with its quiet private beach where you can enjoy sunset , baby sharks and rays. You can enjoy dinner right on the beach and the atmosphere is speechless.The food is really nice and the service is very quick comparing to all the other restaurants in the island .They provide you beach towels and there is a common fridge where you can store your staff. Wifi works very well. Wonderful sea, a lot of beautiful beaches nearby (10 min walking to walk throughout the whole island) and many restaurants.

We recently came back from what was easily one of our best family holidays. Everything was just perfect. Travelling with two picky eaters (our daughters, aged 10 and 4), we were a bit worried at first, but Chef Satya, Swami and Hemant at Malaafaiy completely put us at ease. They made sure the girls were fed and happy every day, even going out of their way to prepare food that wasn’t on the buffet. That kind of care meant a lot. Our room (687) was always spotless, thanks to Bina. She kept it looking immaculate and was always so friendly. Raail, our host, was fantastic attentive, helpful and a pleasure to talk to. We had wonderful meals at Maghrib too. Rohan made a big impression, always checking in and making sure we were comfortable and looked after. At The Olive, we had some lovely chats with Justin at the bar, who brought a personal touch to every interaction. Every staff member we met was kind, professional and welcoming. They truly made us feel at home. This was such a special trip for our family. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. We’re already hoping to come back soon. Thank you, Popi and Omphile are ready to come back.

We had an amazing time at Meeru! Even though we’ve been lucky enough to travel to some beautiful places, this truly felt like a dream vacation—absolutely spectacular. The resort has fantastic facilities, from a well-equipped gym to a tennis court, soccer field, and even padel. I spent more time exploring the island than in the gym though—walking around paradise is a workout in itself! The staff were wonderful, and both the buffet and à la carte restaurants were excellent. We were lucky to be upgraded from a beach villa to a water villa, and I have to say, it made a world of difference. If it’s within your budget, I’d definitely recommend splurging on a water villa or one with a private pool. We saw so many sharks and colorful fish right from our deck—it was magical. We also went for the all-inclusive option. Even though we’re not big drinkers, it felt worth it just for the peace of mind. Everything is priced in USD and things can get quite expensive, so it was nice not having to think about every meal or drink. All in all, an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, real professionals. We had great conversations, learned about the local culture - this openness and friendliness really elevated the experience. No matter our wishes and needs, they were always happy to help with a smile. Additionally, the island, the facilities, the food (with many many resturants), the great selection of cocktails and mocktails (the bar in general) were all amazing. Snorkeling around the resort is also highly encouraged by the staff. We took their advice and went snorkeling every single day. The local wildlife is incredibly diverse, ranging from colorful fish, peaceful eels and baby sharks, crabs, and even turtles. Even though we went in May, which is the rainy season, we still got to see all of these beautiful creatures, and the warm rain offered some great refuge from the heat as well. No matter the season, I'd highly recommend visiting this amazing place! We took a beachfront deluxe bungalow and the view was breathtaking, even with us booking for off season. We will definitely return!

The facilities are amazing, the food is delicious, and the staff are incredible! Aman, Dewli, and Naleen at the Lagoon restaurant were amazing and ensured we were well looked after each mealtime. Ajlan was our wonderful host and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay.The staff at the Italian restaurant were also lovely and always had the biggest smile on their faces! This was my second time at the resort and it was just as good as the first time (maybe even better!). I hope to return again soon!

Our host Samih was always responsive and proactive, he even called me when there was enough wind to do kitesurfing as I'm into it. I loved the gym and SPA facilities. We ate the most delicious food served in the restaurants. One & Only brand will be associated with high class and luxury for us from now on.

Maafushi was a big island.

Maafushi was a big island. I didn't like it because it was all under construction. It was a big construction site. Very big buildings which ruined the whole image of a small exotic island. I didn't feel like I was in the Maldives and it didn't offer me what I imagined. In general, be careful of buyers, they will try to exploit you and sell you expensively.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

Thoddoo is a very interesting Island.

Thoddoo is a very interesting Island. It has very green, lush vegetation and seems to produce fruit and vegetables for the rest of the country. The beaches are simply amazing. Endless white, sandy coral beachfront surrounded by coconut palms and much vegetation. The water is a stunning turquoise with fantastic visibility making snorkeling an absolute treat. Here you can see many, many sea turtles close up and only metres from the beach. A great variety of fish can also be experienced with ease. The main guest beach has an amazing set up with Many showers, bathrooms, tree swings, hammocks and fruit/ ice cream/ snack stalls. An amazing feature is that they set up a massive row of sunbeds on the waters edge around 5 pm to be able to watch the sunset!! A lovely touch. If you want a more isolated beach, just walk north and you will be blessed with amazing virgin beaches with only coconut palms offering shade and not. a sole in sight. The island is small and can be walked around quite easily. Bikes and scooters are easily available for added speed. The centre has a variety of restaurants and shops within easy reach making t a well organized location to relax and enjoy. As with all the Maldivian Islands, there is a massive spate of construction . You will see a building site on every corner. There seems to be a plethora of new Hotels and guest houses coming. This will spoil the beauty and uniqueness of these gorgeous islands and will put the limited infrastructure to the test. With Thoddoo the good thing is that the construction is around the centre and therefore far from the beautiful beaches. Go soon if you want t o go before its too late!!

Ukulhas is not a tourist-friendly island. Dangerous rip currents near the island have caused multiple drownings which continue to go unaddressed. The food across the island is inedible and prepared by untrained staff. The island is littered with trash and by no means lives up to its claim of an “eco-conscious environment”

You're a captivated audience on such a small island but there was more than enough to keep you occupied for the week. The food was excellent, the staff extremely supportive and I think that RIU have a near perfect arrangement for the 'all inclusive' experience.
