Facing the beachfront, Ecoboo Maldives offers 4-star accommodation in Thinadhoo and has free bikes, garden and shared lounge. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation features a kids' club, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. This place is absolutely stunning! They’ve done an amazing job preserving the island’s natural beauty, and everything is focused on sustainability. The staff are super polite and professional they take care of every little detail from the moment you land in Malé. The boat ride is quite long but so worth it. We were welcomed with drinks and cold towels, and had a quick briefing to get to know the hotel concept and all the activities. Luis and Lucy were always around and ready to help with anything we needed! The buffet was incredible every single day fresh, healthy, and super tasty. Big shoutout to Ridoy and Rassika, who made us feel right at home every time we went to grab something to eat 🤍 I had the best massage in their spa, it’s a beautiful and clean space. The tours were amazing, especially the Ecoboo cruise. Inke and Ayan made everything more fun and captured the best memories for us with awesome photos and videos. Can’t recommend it enough I’ll definitely be coming back!

Shout out to our housekeeper Aboo also, leaving us with lovely bed displays and making beautiful baths for my partner. All of the staff were impeccable from bringing us fresh mango delivered that morning, on our final breakfast to personable chats at dinner, always checking in on us and our stay. Some fun activities such as movie night and mixology classes. The dive centre and their staff were also fantastic, great fun and would definitely come back. Our first stay in the Maldives are hard to fault, went beyond our expectations.

Facing the beachfront, The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah offers 5-star accommodation in Gaafu Alifu Atoll and features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a garden, as well as a sauna. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a kids' club and free WiFi. Simply put, this is a truly magnificent place to stay in Maldives and there’s hardly anything one can compliant about. We visited The Residence in February, and it has been a fabulous experience. The island is conveniently located within a short boat ride from the local airport of Koodoo but at the same time warrants a feeling that you’re in a secluded paradise hideaway. It’s large enough so that you never feel it’s crowded and at the same time small enough to get from one end to another within a few-minutes bike ride (well-maintained bikes are provided complimentary for each villa). Beaches are beautiful with powder like sand, clean (though we’ve occasionally seen some debris) and the whole island enjoys lush greenery with hundreds of palm trees providing much desired shade and the jungle-like experience. The west side of the island seems a bit prettier due to spectacular green-blue shades of water; the east side of the island has seagrass at the bed which although very much needed to protect local ecosystems provides less spectacular water colours. The ability to go to the adjacent island via the wooden bridge connecting them is really nice and you can enjoy the sun at the sand bar located in between. The staff has been extremely nice and helpful, from the moment we’ve been taken over at the Male airport, through the journey to the island, at the reception, restaurants, water sports centre and everywhere else, we’ve always felt well taken care of. The villas are clean, extremely spacious (bathroom area is enormous), well maintained and equipped. Beds are comfortable, there’s plenty of seating area, AC and Wi-Fi work well, mini fridge is restocked every day. Again, the lush greenery separating villas in a very natural way provides privacy and shade, and most importantly the sea view is not obstructed. The private pool is amazing and provide the opportunity to cool off in the heat of the sun, at 1.

Located in Dhaalu Atoll, Sun Siyam Iru Veli - Premium All Inclusive has a fitness centre, an indulgent over water spa and a bar. Featuring shuttle service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The 5 star premium all inclusive resort features Sun Aqua Signature meal plan with dine around option. We can't really start to describe our stay without first saying that this place is heaven on earth! We can't describe how welcome and how well we were taken care of by the amazing staff! My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon for Christmas and New Years and upon arrival the staff greeted us on the jetty and we were introduced to our ambassador Shuhaan who we really can't complement enough on how helpful he was with everything, settling in and getting to know the island, everything important to know, bookings of restaurants, excursions and just overall the many many nice talks we had! Everything from our housekeeper Saif who wrote nice things on our bed with coconut leafs, folded cute animals out of towels and preparing surprise bubble baths for us to all of the chefs and staff at the various restaurants we especially talked a lot with Abhi at Aqua Orange, as well as the chefs Nikhil, Namal, Malaka and of course Leo who we really enjoyed our private cooking class with! Not only did we get to spend time in our amazing villa but we also spent so much time snorkeling around the amazing house reef at Iru Veli, we saw so much marine wildlife on the reef around the island! We also got to go on a Manta Ray/Whaleshark/Sea Turtle excursion it was the most incredible experience ever, especially to spend your New Years eve snorkeling with these majestic animals all under perfect guidance from Ammaday at the divecenter :-) We also made good use of the spa and booked 2 spa sessions for the steam room, sauna and hot/cold pools, and also two different massages. Darma took so good care of us and informed us about the different types of massage and what would suit our needs Wayan and Reni took care of our massages and we have never felt so relaxed! Lastly I need to mention Ammu, this man can make everything happen on this island, thank you so so much for taking care of us and our needs! The only thing I can say go to Iru Veli! It is worth every...

The Residence Maldives is located in the beautiful island of Falhumaafushi. It welcomes guests with luxuriously furnished guestrooms fitted with a private terrace and free internet access. Guests also enjoy free access to the outdoor swimming pool. Everything about this property met or exceeded my expectations. From the moment we were greeting at the airport till the time we left the property, the service was exceptional. Every staff on the property was extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, quiet and surrounded by the natural beauty. Was surreal. I stayed for 2 nights for my honeymoon and could've have asked for anything more. Thanks to all the staff and the amazing resort.
