5 star hotels on first line in Maldives

We enjoyed our breakfast and dinners at Matheefaru and Shahid took great care of us. He is excellent at his job. Thank you for having him be here to make our dining experience the best.

We had a 10 night stay at Hideaway Beach Resort in March and everything was more than perfect! Everybody was so nice and extremely kind! They took great care of us in every possible way. It was like belonging to a big kind family and we felt very welcomed from day one. From house keeping to manager, everybody treated us with great kindness and good care. The hospitality manager Delia who was always...

My stay was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sand, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else. The overwater villa experience was a dream—waking up to the sound of gentle waves and having direct access to the ocean felt surreal. The hospitality was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, and always...

As you can imagine, the quintessential day dream , we all have , is being on a beautiful tropical island. Well this is pretty much what you get , when visiting the Hideaway resort. White sand beaches, turquoise blue sea and so many tropical fish, it really is paradise. Location Travelling to hideaway is around 1 hour and 15 mins in a sea plane , when arriving for your transfer in Male. I would say...

We have returned to Signature Beach Residence with Pool again! Over the past time, our butler Anastasia, chef Jaydev and his team have not forgotten our taste preferences and habits. Thank you for a wonderful stay and feeling at home. The weather at this time of the year is perfect.

The Hideaway is a gorgeous and spacious resort with some wonderful features. Here are a few impressions from our stay: Absolutely perfect service and fantastic food: the main restaurant „Matheefaru“ Special mention must go to restaurant manager Safar, who creates a special experience with his entire team. Everyone is extremely friendly, fulfills every wish, is always attentive, and makes you feel...

This is a stunning island resort. The rooms are spacious and large, the bedding is impeccably clean, and there are no mosquitoes. The front yard has a relaxing courtyard, while the back yard features an open-air soaking tub and shower. The buffet breakfast, dinner, and lunch are delicious! There's also a bar with juices and food available anytime. The best part is the white sand beach under the moonlight...

Everything was literally perfect! Best holiday ever A++++

We stayed at Furaveri in an Ocean Pool Villa (160 sqm over the water with private swimming pool). We are a family of 4 with 2 children (7 and 14), it is not our first trip to Maldives. This time, it was a 8 days stay in October 2025. The property is very nice, there are 5 restaurants including the main buffet. We had a premium all inclusive plan. The food was good in all the restaurants we tried. We...

The staff was awesome. Special thanks to Heshan from olives and vines as well as Maman from housekeeping for making my mom’s birthday very memorable. The Filipino single couple serenade us with their beautiful voices and souls.

It was nice family trip. There was lots of things to do. I did some scuba dives certificates. Furaveri Dive Club was really great dive center. For snorkeling it's really great place. Almost perfect place for family vacation I was little disappoint on restaurants variation included in our Full-Broad package. Otherwise everything was perfect. Everyone was really helpful and friendly

Really enjoyed having our honeymoon here. Although would have appreciated better transparency on the premium package that we got. Even though it says all meals and drinks included, each Resturaunt had a set “section” for what we can order as opposed to the whole menu being a part of our package. And it was the same thing with the drinks! Every bar there only had a specific set of drinks you can order...

I stayed here for 6 days this time. The entire staff on the island provided excellent service, and the dining was superb. They even have a Chinese-speaking butler. Compared to other six-star resorts in the Maldives I've visited before, the service and food here are exceptionally outstanding. The privacy and sense of seclusion are great, and the 'jellyfish sea' is absolutely stunning – no complaints...

We have just returned from an amazing holiday. Our room was just stunning, clean and comfortable. We loved the dive centre and snorkeled many times during our stay. The dive centre team were all so helpful and friendly especially Anna and Seb. Our host Auvaan was courteous, friendly and helpful. The food on the resort was very good with a nice selection. The local knowledge passed on by the hotel...

Our stay at Kuredhivaru Resort has been absolutely magical. My husband and I came here to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary and my birthday, and we are leaving with the most beautiful memories. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and special. The villas are stunning, private, and luxurious. The staff are incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly. Every morning at breakfast...

We stayed at Kuredhivaru in the Maldives for seven days, and it was genuinely one of the best weeks we’ve ever had. Everything about the island felt five-star — from the stunning overwater villa and pristine white sand beaches to the food, which was consistently excellent. The villa itself was beautiful and incredibly peaceful, but what truly made this stay special was the staff. They are, without...

The Resort was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Our Sunrise Overwater Villa gave us a breathtaking start to every day – directly above the ocean, peaceful and private. From a culinary perspective, we were impressed every single day. The food was excellent, and the breakfast in particular was outstanding: a huge variety, freshly prepared, and of very high quality. The gym is modern an very well...

Kuredhivaru is a complete experience from the moment you arrive at Malé Airport until you board your flight back home. From the very beginning, the welcome is warm and beautifully organized. The beaches are truly paradisiacal, and the Overwater Pool Villa was absolutely perfect, fully equipped with every amenity you could imagine and more, offering comfort, privacy, and stunning views. What truly...

All the staff were extremely friendly, and there was a great variety of dining options. The management team runs the resort with genuine care and heart. It was a wonderful stay and a truly memorable experience.

Cora Cora is a fantastic island with beautiful sceneries. It is one of the furthest islands in Maldives and personally I think there is a good and bad to it. The good being it's far out enough that we don't see any city structure or other islands. But the bad being the water plane ride there, it was hot with bad ventilation and a 45 minutes ride can be suffocating for some. We stayed at the water...

Our trip to Coracora Island was absolutely perfect. The scenery was stunning, the island had excellent facilities, and the four restaurants each offered unique flavors. The service team on the island was incredibly professional and friendly, creating an unforgettable vacation for our family. A special thank you to our butler Luna, who was thoughtful and attentive throughout our stay. She saved us...

Excellent service through out my trip (5 nights). The butler, Yan, was very responsive and helpful to all the questions I raised. The overwater villa was amazing and the honeymoon service arranged by Yan was perfect. Reasonable price but with top quality service. A resort that deserve the highest recommendation.

Great time for honeymoon here. from the room, coral quality, fun classes to hospitality and smile by every staff. What we like most is the classes that run behind that show you how to make coffee, make nice cocktail etc. Special thanks to Aju who is our Freedom coach that set up everything here, esp helping us arrange sunrise cruise when the sunset weather is not great! Keep smiling to all the guests

To spend my birthday & also anniversary celebration here! I love Veligandu 😍 thanks our lifestyle host Julia - little tiny Morocco girl. She will fulfill whatever I need ! so warm and loved and also thank you our house keeping uncle - Mahmood decorated our room so sweet! And also the restaurant staff Abdullah - he is very knowledgeable and attentive. So nice to see him everyday When we have breakfast...

Our butler Julia was very nice and considerate. I'm very grateful for the birthday wishes and gifts for me. It was a perfect birthday. I'm really looking forward to coming here again next time.

We have just returned from a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at Veligandu, leaving us with wonderful memories. The entire stay was outstanding—the environment, dining, and water activities were all highly satisfying. A special mention must go to Julia. Her service was warm and attentive, helping us resolve many details and making our journey even smoother and more carefree. Her professionalism and kindness...

Our stay at Veligandu was nothing short of extraordinary. This island is truly a place where everything just feels right — from the incredibly comfortable bedding to the outstanding food, thoughtful entertainment, and the overall intimate and peaceful atmosphere. It’s rare to find a resort that balances luxury, privacy, and authenticity so effortlessly. A special thank-you goes to our Lifehost, Dilara...

Our stay at Veligandu Island Resort & Spa was simply phenomenal. The location — a private island in the Maldives — was absolutely idyllic: crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and stunning ocean views made it feel like paradise. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and romantic, perfect for a honeymoon, with a gentle sea breeze, soothing sunsets, and a tranquil vibe that immediately...

We just spent 6 wonderful days at Veligandu Resort. We went with the All Inclusive package and glad that we did! Don’t know where to start, the excellent service, delicious food, beautiful beach, awesome snorkeling, large comfortable rooms!!!

Excellent food, excellent cocktails and SUPERB cooking (and showmanship!) skills from IBRAHIM!

What a beautiful place. Put it on your bucket list. The waterview room was gorgeous....over the top !! The staff here are amazing. Great service (thank you Nakita) and fantastic food. We would definitely come back.

The beach villa, ocean villa , spa, skybar, restaurants , all the locations are breathtaking. Food was exceptional and top notch. I loved food from hathaa. Breakfast spread can be a bit more, it felt very basic as compared to Other food options. Special mention to the staff, every restaurant had super friendly and accommodating staff. AJ from Raloo, went above and beyond to make sure we had good...

We had one of the most amazing experience at Heritance Aarah. Everything from the room, food and hospitality were top notch. We were able to try new food for every meal during our stay. The resort has lot of activities too that would suit everyone. A special mention to our butler Saurav. He made sure our stays and transfers were comfortable till we boarded our flight back home.

Our stay at Heritance Aarah Maldives was magical. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was thoughtfully curated, seamless, and truly luxurious. The island is stunning—crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and beautifully designed ocean suites that offer both comfort and privacy. The food was exceptional across all restaurants, with a wide variety and impeccable quality. Every...

Mixed Experience – Room & Environment Good, Dining Needs Improvement We had a mixed experience during our stay at Heritance Aarah. While the resort environment and rooms are well maintained and housekeeping did a good job, several aspects did not meet our expectations for a 5-star resort. We experienced some concerning dining issues during our stay. In Villa 110, we found a bottle of red wine that...

It was a wonderful holiday. The hotel is really a top class. From the moment we stepped off the plane we felt like we were in paradise. Thank you to Afeef and Banu for the warm welcome, who showed us around the island and were always available if we needed anything. The island is beautiful, it is a place made for rest and relaxation, but even the more active guests will be satisfied here. The whole...

Our stay at Cocoon Maldives was simply unforgettable. From the very first moment, we felt that we were in a truly special place where guests are cared for with genuine warmth and attention. The resort is absolutely stunning – turquoise water, white sandy beaches, exceptional cleanliness, and luxury perfectly blended with nature. A very special thank you goes to our tour guide, Umi. She was incredibly...

The hotel has a beautiful environment, and there are different themed international cuisines available every day. The hotel service is excellent; a special thanks to our Chinese butler, Effy, for her attentive care, which made our vacation very comfortable and enjoyable! I'd also like to thank the hotel manager, Ford, and our butler, Effy. Coinciding with Chinese New Year, they thoughtfully organized...

We spent a week at Cocoon Maldives and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was excellent, the staff were absolutely wonderful, and the beaches were truly breathtaking. A great bonus was the seaplane transfer included in the All Inclusive package, which made the whole stay even more special. A special thanks to our host Adda, who took perfect care of us throughout the entire stay. Highly recommended...

The Maldives Coconi Resort was a perfect experience! I must give a shout-out to our Chinese-speaking butler, Effy. She was incredibly attentive throughout the trip, taking us to all the island's stunning spots, from the sandbar to the crystal-clear waters and popular photo locations – every single one was perfect for taking amazing pictures. She was always incredibly responsive and patient, responding...

We had a beautiful experience on the island. Everyone was very helpful, friendly and always available. Our host Riyaz has been amazing and did everything he could to help us during our stay. Hussain has been amazing attending our room and always going above and beyond. Overall the staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was amazing and the island very relaxing. We also had an amazing and relaxing...

The service is excellent, I have no complaints about the staff, everyone is very polite, caring, and responsive! The food is delicious and varied! The island is beautiful, there are lots of different activities, the grounds are well-kept and picturesque! The only downside that was disappointing was the condition of the rooms: everything is very tired, shabby, in need of a complete overhaul, everything...

We had a fantastic holiday at Royal Island resort. This is our second time. Noble our island host was as fantastic as last year. He is a wonderful host. Helpful, patient, and always available. Our house keeper, Rajib, was also very good. The staff in the restaurant are brilliant, especially Aswin and Pandi. We had a fantastic time and we hope to come back next year.

Amazing! We spent 8 nights at Royal Island earlier this month. It was fabulous from start to finish. We could not fault anything. The resort was nearly at full capacity but we were able to walk around the island without seeing anyone. The food, service, rooms were all wonderful. We snorkelled most days at various points around the island and managed to see a turtle and sharks. Staff are all very polite...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Royal Island Resort & Spa, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the very first moment, we were surrounded by breathtaking nature, beautiful beaches and a warm atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the excellent food – the culinary variety and the consistently high quality of the cuisine were outstanding. Every meal was a pleasure, and it was clear how...

It was a unique experience. Everyone is super helpful and very friendly. We would particularly like to mention all staff of the Maakana Restaurant, Boli Bar and Raabondhi Beach, as well as Noble, who really fulfilled all our wishes, he kept us daily informed about all the activities on the island. He gave us very good advice when we were undecided about what we should do. We can only recommend a stay...

We had an amazing experience. We spent 18 days in the Maldives, 7 of them in Maafushi and 11 in this incredible resort! If we had known beforehand, we would have come straight to the resort. It’s absolutely SPECTACULAR. The island is surrounded by an amazing coral reef; we saw reef sharks, three different types of rays, turtles, moray eels… an endless variety of fish. It feels like a natural aquarium...

Having travelled all over the world, I can honestly say that Constance Halaveli has set a new benchmark for what true hospitality means. The service, care, and attention to detail were simply beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. Halfway through our stay, we did something we’ve never done before — we rebooked to return in just four months’ time. That’s how incredible it was. Every single moment...

An absolute pleasure to spend a week on this outstanding resort, on a wonderful small island, with an amazing friendly and helpful staff and the best all inclusive package we could have wished for. A place to return to.

Our stay at Constance Halaveli was exceptional. The island is stunning, but it’s the staff who made it memorable. Special thanks to Rasheed, Masud, Amelie, Jay, and Rakesh for their outstanding service, attention, and warmth throughout our stay. The villa was beautiful, food delicious, and every need was promptly met. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Jay is amazing guy who gave us a great experience for honeymoon. Weather was not good for few days but he made our best day because of his surprised events and take photos with flowers. Also sommeliers in Constance Halaveli are amazing and finest wine suggestion of each meal. I hope to visit here again.

I shocked to see how the staff was so kind! In every breakfast, every dinner we were recognised by them. Chefs do know what we are to say. Waiters do know our choose of drinks before we order. That’s so comforting. Every person we met felt like a friend. Special thanks to Waheed, Jo, Adamino and Dr Simon. As a muslim couple we experienced home like luxury. I definetely recommend it.

The hotel environment was nice, but what made me very uncomfortable was the discriminatory treatment of guests. They were especially hospitable to European and American guests. If I were choosing an island, I wouldn't go there again. You can also check out other comparisons.

The room was incredibly spacious, with two large bedrooms, a living room with a fully glass floor overlooking the ocean, and a large private pool. Room 349 also had its own private beach, perfect for birdwatching during the day and stunning sunsets in the evening. The butler even took us on a tour of the underwater suite, which I'm already hooked on. The service was impeccable. We had visited Conrad...

We had a wonderful stay! My whole family would love to go back again.

The resort is beautiful, but the service was disappointing compared to other places I’ve stayed. Staff professionalism needs improvement. I booked a Half-Board Water Villa, but only breakfast and dinner were included—drinking water at dinner wasn’t complimentary. The food selection was limited and not particularly tasty. Service felt inattentive. I had to introduce myself multiple times, yet our butler...

The scenery is definitely beautiful. You can always live in the beautiful scenery and the bottomless sea is within your reach. The hotel is also big enough and there are many restaurant options. The room is not small, but there is only one bathroom. It would be perfect if there were two. What I am not satisfied with is the service. I can't feel the butler service at all. I don't know if we lack the...

All room types are good. Since I chose a water house, the butler gave me a free experience of a sand house for the afternoon on the last day. The experience was particularly good. The underwater restaurant is also worth experiencing. It has everything you need. I was very satisfied with the stay

We have the pleasure of staying here for what should have been 10 nights which ended up being 14 nights. We used the laundry service this was brilliant Senanayaka was amazing his attention to detail is second to none, I had miss counted the number of items and he came and found us to Inform us of my error. REN on reception was kind caring and compassionate when our flights was cancelled and did everything...

Cinnamon Dhonveli is a beautiful resort. This was our second visit, and we are already planning to return again next year. The facilities, accommodation and food are all of an excellent standard, and the resort consistently delivers a wonderful experience. The staff go out of their way to ensure everything is perfect and nothing is ever too much trouble. My husband uses a wheelchair, and the extra...

An absolutely amazing experience at Dhonveli! It was our first time in the Maldives, and what a great first experience it was. The resort is lovely and filled with many activities to keep you busy during your stay. There's an lovely spa, multiple food & drink choices, live music and a glorious beach. We stayed in a water suite, which was spacious and very clean. The staff were wonderful and super...

We’ve just returned from the most incredible week in the Maldives, and honestly, this hotel exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, the warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness from every member of staff made us feel completely at home in absolute luxury. The food and drinks were exceptional throughout our stay — beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and consistently five...

I have visited Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives three times, and it has always been a very relaxing and peaceful place to stay. The island is quite big with beautiful surroundings, perfect for walking around and enjoying nature. The beach bar is definitely my favorite spot the drinks are very good and the atmosphere is amazing. The lagoon is also great for swimming. The staff are friendly and welcoming...

Nice place! About 30 minutes from the airport!

This hotel is amazing for family . We stayed 7nights in total. They have 5 restaurants and provides wide variety of food choices , from western to Asian etc . Different days different themes.the rooms are very clean . Staffs are very attentive, polite and friendly , always thinks from the customer points of view . The managers come to greet and ask how are we doing and recommends activities almost...

This island is a bit off-the-beaten-path, but truly beautiful. We enjoyed a week like a paradise. The staff was incredibly friendly, and a shout-out to our butler, Zhang Fei. US dollars are accepted on the island, and we shared the bill at checkout. The water villas are truly beautiful, and we tried many activities. While they were a bit pricey, the VIP-style service was so comfortable that I couldn...

Nice room and hospitable stay for the Northern region. Decent and clean.

Can make people relax, happy and comfortable

#Maldives #JA Manafaru (Manafaru) is measured as follows: [Overview] Small and medium-sized island, it takes about 20 minutes to ride a bicycle around the island, and about 25 minutes to ride a bicycle at the farthest ends. It has a wild luxury style, with good vegetation, beaches and other environments, and perfectly achieves the harmony between man and nature. This island is far away from Male, and...

Great hotel, with great service. Was a nice way to end our honeymoons

We had the opportunity to spend our vacation in this beautiful resort. We were very pleasantly surprised by the resort's beautiful nature. A well-groomed and clean island. We had villa number 21. For us, it was on the most beautiful part of the island. I highly recommend lunch at the underwater restaurant Subsix. Great food, perfect space. Very nice staff: Takura Sam. Staff at Epicur Dewa, Fathik,...

Amazing service, beautiful resort. So thankful for everything. Dimitri our butler was the best, very professional, very respectful, multilingual and always available to help. He was super supportive, helped the trip to be smooth and safe especially with baby. Thank you Dimitri for everything. We will definitely come back to you.

The hotel is incredible. The staff are very attentive. The quality and variety of the dishes are impressive. The hotel shows how much it cares about its guests, not only during the stay but also before and after. The pre-check-in and post-check-out experiences were wonderful.

Niyama left only positive emotions and impressions, it is exactly the kind of place where you feel true relaxation from the very first days. I especially want to highlight Youkay, who did his job far beyond 100 percent, was always available, replied very quickly, and genuinely tried to help in any situation, which made the whole stay calm and stress free. The entire staff was excellent, very friendly...

We had an amazing five nights at Niyama. Our thakuru, Imthy, took such great care of us and organised our week - we were in great hands with him and there was nothing he didn’t know about the Maldives and the resort. We loved our surfing lesson with Cayle, tennis lessons with Patrick, our Discover Scuba day with Achuu and Emma (the dive facilities are so professional!), and yoga and Pilates with Jess...

​We recently stayed at Niyama Private Islands as a family of 5 (with 3 kids), and it was truly a phenomenal experience from start to finish. ​The trip was incredibly peaceful, relaxing, and calm, even with 3 young kids. A huge reason for this was the Kids Club. It is absolutely world-class! The team there was attentive and looked after our children exceptionally well, which gave us peace of mind and...

We had an amazing stay at OBLU SELECT Sangeli! Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The room was beautiful, very clean, spacious, and with stunning views. You can truly relax and enjoy every moment. The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and always smiling. They made us feel welcome and taken care of during our entire stay. Their attention to detail and kindness really...

After a huge amount of research into resorts with the best house reef, we chose OBLU Sangeli (also highly recommended by our travel agency) — and we did not regret it at all! To be honest, we went out to the sea every single day and only explored the house reef on our last day… which made us wish we had even more time. Beyond the snorkelling, the hospitality from each and every member of staff was...

Communication before arrival was good. However, shared transfer wait time was much longer than promised upon arrival (120 mins vs. 60 mins) which needs improvement. Food variety at Courtyard was limited with repetitive daily menus. Snorkelling equipment had to be returned by 5pm the day before checkout. Housekeeping did an excellent job maintaining cleanliness — well done to the team.

Perfect trip as nice villa. Nice view and friendly staffs.

I spent the most beautiful days of my life at OBLU Sangeli. I honestly don’t even know where to begin when describing this experience. This is truly a five star resort in every possible aspect. The island itself is absolutely stunning like something out of a dream. The food was fantastic, with an incredible variety, especially since there were three different restaurants to choose from. Every meal...

I don’t even know where to begin, I had such a wonderful time at Oblu Select Sangeli. To talk about this vacation properly, I would need to write a book, because there are so many good things I’d like to say. Still, I won’t go on too long so as not to tire those who are reading. First of all, the hospitality was fantastic. The entire staff, without exception, were extremely positive, always smiling...

A tranquil and picturesque island, the sunset at the Lighthouse Lounge Bar was absolutely stunning, the snorkeling experience was superb, and we encountered many sharks. But what surprised us most was the impeccable and meticulous service. The pick-up and drop-off times were perfectly arranged according to our itinerary, and there were also thoughtful services such as bed setup and snacks!

I was really looking forward to this trip, but the weather wasn't kind. It rained for three days straight, with not even a single sunny day. Even the water bungalows had bugs, so be careful. The drinking water was full of bugs overnight (the bottle cap was closed at night). I don't know how the bugs got in, so I just boiled the water afterwards. It was a bit of a shame.

The water villa with a pool that I stayed in was newly renovated and had relatively new facilities. The best thing about Baros Island is the excellent snorkeling environment! You can see all kinds of fish and swim with small sharks.

We absolutely made the right choice for our Maldives vacation with the Baros Resort. The accommodations at Ersha Sanshui gave us the best experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was delicious and healthy. Although it was rainy season and the weather wasn't great, we still had a wonderful holiday, eating, drinking, and relaxing. Thank you, Baros Resort, and thank you, Maldives!...

Excellent hotel, gorgeous house reef, excellent service, special thanks to the butler Aziza, always helps, tells you everything, we were very pleased with the holiday.

Best resort I’ve been to. From arrival to departure, our butler Shinta was so thoughtful and accommodating. ALL the staff from at Baros is so friendly and always has a smile on their face. If you love snorkelling - this is perfect. Easy snorkel and a variety of fish to discover, lots of reef sharks and we even saw sea turtles! Twilight fishing was a great activity! Food was above my expectations...

Super great hotel! This was our first time in the Maldives, and all our wishes were more than fulfilled. The restaurants at the resort are top-notch! We will definitely come back :-)

The administrative handling was terrible. They messed up our personal information; if we hadn't proactively checked, our departure flight wouldn't have been booked in time. Furthermore, even after knowing our international flight arrival time early on, they waited until after the free cancellation period had passed – and even just a week before our check-in date – to inform us that there would be...

The wait for the boat when departing was a bit long. Also, they didn't provide earplugs for the return seaplane trip.

Really enjoyed the stay, its a beautiful location with great variety of marine life visible on the house reef.

The scenery was breathtaking, and every photo I took was a hit. The hotel was clean, and the in-room self-service bar had a wide selection of snacks and drinks. Lily's snorkeling was truly renowned. I even had a spa treatment, which was incredibly relaxing. I'd definitely go back.

Instructor Ammaty made our stay at Lily Beach a perfect experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our time at Lily Beach Resort was absolutely amazing, but the highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional instruction provided by Instructor Ammaty at the Water Sports Center. As someone who was previously afraid of the water and completely inexperienced in it, I was initially hesitant to try snorkeling. However, Ammaty, with...

The hotel offers ground transportation, seaplane reservations, and airport transfer services. But! But! Everyone, remember to get your passports back from the front desk! They took our passports during check-in but didn't return them to us proactively! As for the facilities, they're pretty standard, like a typical budget hotel. Soundproofing isn't great, and there's road construction right outside...

An absolutely perfect experience! The service was excellent, and they were always ready to help. The rooftop bar has an incredibly beautiful view, and we had a wonderful day staying here for one night as a stopover. The hotel breakfast was also very good, and the scenery is truly stunning! A special thanks to Jenny at the front desk, who spoke Chinese – it felt like coming home, so incredibly welcoming...

The Hotel itself is of course very modern and impressed with the lobby, breakfast, as well as rooftop pool. On the way to the room I noticed several hair on the floor leading to the room, which I didn’t mind too much but thought was surprising for a hotel of this scale. I was however shocked to find out that the cleanliness in the room itself was no different. As attached in the pictures, I found several...

The property is new and clean, breakfast buffet has a wide variety of food options with a relaxing view. The room is ok-ish, there’s nothing that fancies me aside from the overlooking view to the blue ocean waters and the Sinamale Bridge. Tip: don’t go for the 15th floor rooms specially if it’s under the rooftop bar if you’re a light-sleeper coz the often push and pull of tables and chairs are very...

I accidentally picked up the wrong suitcase at the airport, and the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and thoughtful in assisting me with contacting the airport. This hotel is the best in Malé city center, making it very convenient for getting around. Highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place to stay in Male , in an out from the airport , or for your activities in the capital of Maldives. Very clean, extremely accommodating and hospitable hotel with great views, a nice swimming pool, and a great spa. Breakfast had tones of choices, great fresh cooked options, fruits etc . Special thanks to Nazar and Asher at reception for their politeness and help. We are very happy with...

Thank you to the amazing team at Velassaru Maldives for such a wonderful stay. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. The service was excellent and made our trip truly relaxing and memorable. The beautiful ocean, peaceful atmosphere, and warm hospitality made this experience very special. We really appreciate all the staff who took care of us during our stay. Hope to visit again in the future

It was just a short speedboat ride from the airport, and the pick-up transfer was on time. Love their services and the vibes of the island, I felt really recharged after the trip. They went extra miles for providing late check out (which we truly appreciate) given our late night flight back home. We have stayed at their water villa (best decision ever!!), amazing sea view. We'll definitely come back...

Absolutely amazing stay. A place that makes relaxtion come easy. Everything was amazing and top quality. A lot of effort goes into making your stay memorable.

Everything was perfect except they didnt gave us just one hour late check out Couple

Perfect destination for getaway for couples and families

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Only 25-30 mins journey by speedboat from the airport. Amazing first time in the Maldives. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. Every day there are free activities you can do like sunset yoga, snorkeling etc. Everything about this hotel is perfect. The only thing is the prices for some extra activities like dolphins trip...

Just came back from this amazing resort. Never been a luxury person before this, decided to give a shot as I read positive comments about them before this. I am amazed truly from the location, the premise of resort and their hospitality, feel everything was just on point for my honeymoon trip. Special thanks to all the staff for the warm welcoming, housekeeping, activities, dining and lastly the warm...

Excellent service and a beautiful hotel. My only minor wish would be for more variety in the food options. Also, it was a bit odd that champagne isn't delivered to the room, even though the wines are replenished daily.
