Open air lobby with sand flooring. so special and casual. And wait until you see the meal buffet options at VAX. Such delicious selection of various cuisines with lots of fresh veg/fruit and savory ethnic dishes. Thanks to special host Pooja and server Shamveel for making certain we were well cared for. Also an open air facility with breathtaking views of the azure seas. Travel coordination was easy with Cinnamon making arrangements with hotel teams back in Hulhumale. Speedboat took about 1hr20. Bring ear plugs or better yet great music to quiet the motor noises. Overall, great experience and relaxation.

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!

Facing the beachfront, Madifushi Private Island- Free return seaplane transfr for min 5&9 nights for 19Dec-10Jan offers 5-star accommodation in Meemu Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and private beach area. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared lounge and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk. My wife and I shared our honeymoon at this location. It was a dream come true. Facilities were absolutely top notch. The facility is only set up to accommodate about 70 couples, with four resteraunts throughout the island, there's loads of choice. We loved how the entire resort was cleaned everyday. You could see every morning, thats if you got up early enough, you would see staff raking and cleaning the beaches to look like you were the very first person who ever stepped on this island. All the staff were exceptionally friendly, to each other and the guests. Special shout out goes to mention ALI who worked in the BlueFin resteraunt and was always ultra friendly and would greet us with smiles and gentle conversation everyday. He knew what we liked and made sure we were looked after. Excellent attention to detail. We would love to stay there again but we feel that we would like to see more of Maldives in a different light We may stay in a beach villa on another island in the next year or two, We will be back!...

Alimas Holiday Retreat Maldives is set in Felidhoo and has a garden and barbecue facilities. This 4-star hotel offers room service and an ATM. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi. Everything was as per the descriptions. The rooms are very big. The staff, especially Rafeeu, Fahar and Hassan made our stay amazing. They were almost like family and made sure everyone was always happy! Morning breakfast was great. We were there for 4 days and never got bored. The bread board was different most days and all very freshly cooked. They even made us local Maldivian roshi one day even though this wasn’t part of their usual breakfast offering. There is Netflix and YouTube on the tvs and the wifi is great! Hot water in the showers. It was all perfect

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.

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.
