Everything was simply wonderful. The room felt like a dream come true, beautifully prepared and cared for in every detail, making us feel as if we were in a little corner of paradise. Our water villa was absolutely stunning..spacious, beautifully designed, and waking up every morning surrounded by the ocean felt truly magical. Having direct access to the water made every moment special, whether it was an early swim or simply enjoying the peaceful view from the terrace.
A very special thank you to Rajit for making our room even more special for my birthday and for always taking such great care of it with kindness and attention.
The small beaches around the island were just as beautiful, each one with its own charm. One of the things we loved most was the possibility to move around the island depending on the sun, always finding the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the incredible surroundings.
The restaurants were simply sublime. Every meal was a wonderful experience, with delicious food, great variety, and a level of quality that truly exceeded our expectations.
A heartfelt thank you as well to June at the Reef, who welcomed us every day with her warm smile and sweetness, making us feel truly at home, and to Yaeesh, who looked after us so thoughtfully during every meal.
In general, the entire staff made this vacation truly unforgettable. Despite the worries about the global situation, we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment thanks to their care and hospitality.

We are just back from a very dreamy vacation in Machchafushi Island Resort - so sad to leave this marine paradise! We had an absolutely idyllic stay. The rooms were spacious, scenic and gorgeous and the location simply amazing - snorkelling here was out of this world, with an abundance of fish of kaleidoscopic fish, sharks, manta rays and other wonders. The nature on the island was also breathtaking.
The staff members were so lovely, professional, corteous and efficient we were equally sad to say goodbye to them. Special mentions must go to the fabulous Mr. Rishard at the Club for looking after us so well at breakfast every morning and the fantastic Mr. Desmond at the Reef restaurant; to Sunny, Ashik and Suood at the Azzurro Mare restaurant for making our dinners so memorable and special and our fantastic butler Munna who not only kept our room so dazzlingly clean and orderly but added lovely thoughtful touches, like the creative sandy drawings he left by the door every night to wish us goodnight. We were also very impressed by Yumi from the Diving Centre who looked after us so well during the sunset cruise. We had a great time at the Coral Bar as well, and the staff there was fab too!
Just an absolutely perfect stay and we'd 100% recommend this very special place. Thanks so much to everyone at Machachafushi, we hope to be back soon!

Excellent getaway for families. I could go on and on about this hotel. Super attentive staff, fantastic house reef - literally 1 m away from the terrace we could see marine life at its best.
The staff was amazing:
- Habib - taking care of our villa, extra kudos for making sure we didn’t leave any luggage behind
- Ashik from Italian restaurant. Always attentive, with great sense of humor and attitude towards kids
- Shafiq - from Coral reef bar - excellent drinks.
In addition, great spa with fantastic atmosphere, a lot of privacy - no crowds at all.
Nice variety of the food - however more towards Asia at the buffet, so if you prefer western - book Mare Azurro and book it in advance.

We had an incredibly joyful vacation at Machchafushi.
First of all, the coral reef is one of the healthiest I have ever seen. We saw large schools of fish, sharks, manta rays, and various other marine life. We went diving once or twice every day and still couldn't get enough of it.
We also joined excursions to see nurse sharks and whale sharks. Joe and all the other divers were extremely enthusiastic and professional. Because of the feeding, the groups of nurse sharks and manta rays were truly spectacular. Although we didn't spot any whale sharks during the whale shark trip (non-speedboat), it was still a delight to unexpectedly see dolphins and manta rays.
We stayed in a Sunset Ocean Pool Villa with The Club access, which I believe has the best location on the island. More importantly, we were able to enjoy the club facilities. Richard was the friendliest friend we met; he was always smiling and chatting with us, and we looked forward to seeing him at the club every day. The club provided drinks and afternoon tea according to our package, and the breakfast was delicious as well.
If we have the chance, we would love to return here again!

Excellent service, friendly staff, perfect facilities and 2 a la carte restaurants. Eagly rays and turtles on the house reef. To us the best resort we have visited in the Maldives so far!

An absolutely amazing stay! The island and the hotel were truly beautiful. You could snorkel right off the beach and experience incredible marine life. There were plenty of activities and excursions to choose from, so there was always something to do. The food was very international, with something for everyone, and we always found dishes we enjoyed. Everything was spotless, and the staff did an excellent job keeping the entire resort clean at all times. A truly luxurious and unforgettable experience
