Hotels on first line in Maldives

The facilities, accommodation and food are all of an excellent standard, and the resort consistently delivers a wonderful experience

My husband uses a wheelchair, and the extra care the staff and our Island host, Ren took to make everything easy and comfortable for him was truly appreciated. Their kindness made a meaningful difference to our stay

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

Cinnamon Dhonveli is a beautiful resort. This was our second visit, and we are already planning to return again next year

The staff go out of their way to ensure everything is perfect and nothing is ever too much trouble

We highly recommend Cinnamon Dhonveli and look forward to visiting again

The managers come to greet and ask how are we doing and recommends activities almost everyday , you can feel they care ! The scenery of the hotel is stunning. They have a kid club with swimming pool as well

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

The 5-digit houses are closer to the service area, and the 2-digit houses have better snorkeling conditions. This island is highly recommended for friends who like quiet, relaxing and feeling nature

This hotel is amazing for family. They have 5 restaurants and provides wide variety of food choices , from western to Asian etc. Different days different themes

A truly stellar chef! We also bought a lot of unique products at the island shop. I also highly recommend the massage and spa treatments; they're amazing!

The 4G signal on this island is very weak, and there is only Wi-Fi signal in places with buildings (the wifi in restaurants and rooms is also average)

We were on the side were the tide did being in the sea ****, but it was cooler and always had a breeze. didn’t like the mosquito spray every day at 4 as noisy and smelly but learnt to avoid it

The garden directly into the sea was beautiful.

The beach villas (sunset side) are wonderful, clean, and beautifully furnished. Unfortunately, there was a lot of seaweed, so we went swimming on the other side of the island

Everything was super great the food the room the island super thankful for the staff friendly and professional… only the beach is full of seaweed otherwise great experience

All the staff were very nice, especially our waiter Subin and roomboy Dinesh. The food was excellent and the bungalow very clean

The pool was also large and clean, but the sun loungers and especially the towels could use replacing; some were full of stains and holes

The beaches and the water were exceptionally clean, with white sand and crystal clear ocean, giving a real sense of harmony with nature

Every day, a man nicknamed Kokosman spread good mood and coconuts around the island. We were extremely satisfied with the services on the island. The villa was perfectly cleaned twice every day

We had an amazing stay at this resort in the Maldives and truly enjoyed every moment. The beaches are absolutely stunning crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and very peaceful

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

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

We loved the amazing buffets and the themed nights that featured cuisines from all corners of the world—there was always something delicious for both adults and kids. ​Finally, the service was exceptional

It offered privacy, luxury, and everything we could have wished for during such a special trip. But the most beautiful part of my journey was the amazing people. The energy from the resort staff was truly unforgettable

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

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

The service was exceptional, and everyone was always smiling and welcoming. You could genuinely feel the warmth and kindness all around. A very special thank you to Niheart, our butler, who was absolutely fantastic

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

Thank you for everything you made our stay even more memorable. The spa was pure relaxation, and the activities especially snorkeling in the crystal clear waters made the experience even more special

All the way to the leaving the island where we were not only transferred back to the airport on a private speedboat, but greeted on the docks and walked all the way to security. The island is small, safe, and quiet

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

The water villa with a pool that I stayed in was newly renovated and had relatively new facilities

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

The food options are incredible. We even treated ourselves to a spa day and the spa was the nicest I have ever been to in the world. I could not recommend Baros and their staff enough

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!

On the day we were finally able to check in, we were left waiting at the airport for over an hour before staff picked us up to arrange our seaplane check-in

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

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

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

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

I even had a spa treatment, which was incredibly relaxing

No sea view, except from the top small swimming pool. Service was great, with good English skills. Located in a busy street, but walk distance to most things

The service was fine, but the rooms were small and crowded together with no soundproofing. Since I couldn't return due to flight restrictions, I had to stay a day, so I decided to stay in a star-rated hotel

Easy pick up from the airport and the hotel location is great. Nice hotel with all the needs and service is good and prompt. Good place to stay if you need a stopover before or after your resort

Staff was extremely helpful and thoughtful. Our transfers from the resort was smooth and same for our transfers to the airport. We arrived at 12.30pm and left the hotel after 1pm the next day.

Facilities: OK, an extra bed was added for the children, which was quite convenient; Hygiene: OK, clean. Environment: Not far from the airport, free shuttle bus, very convenient for landing

Since we had a late flight, they gave us an extended check-out, which was a huge help since we have children. They even provided plenty of water. Overall, I highly recommend it

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

The hotel offers ground transportation, seaplane reservations, and airport transfer services

The Hotel itself is of course very modern and impressed with the lobby, breakfast, as well as rooftop pool

We have rarely experienced such a fantastic hotel for a single night: excellent service, beautiful rooms, a wonderful rooftop pool, and incredibly delicious food. And on top of that, the staff were extremely friendly

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! And Sarvanan, who handled our airport transfers, consistently helped with our luggage; he carried all six of our suitcases! He'll be back again shortly

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

Everything was perfect! Lovely small island. HB was very good with variety of different food. The stuff was very helpful

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

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

Love everything in the resort, nothing can complain. Nice beach, food, cooktail, and the most important thing, super friendly staff.

One of the most beautiful islands of Maldives operated as a private island luxury resort, Loved every bit of the island, The island as a natural island has its natural habitat well maintained for the last couple of decades operating as a private resort

Alcoholic drinks vary from 10-25$ per glass but their bars have happy hours. Dinner buffet is 90$ per person. We tried the room service food, was quite good. In general, I would recommend this hotel to everyone

If you want to come here , Don’t bring extra pair of shoes as the beach is shoe free beach and you are not allowed to wear shoes. Snorkeling is one of the best activities they offer and really worth trying

I wholeheartedly recommend this resort. It’s truly a wonderful place where everything is designed for guests’ comfort and relaxation

Fantastic holiday at the newly renovated NH Collection Reethi Resort from the moment we arrived at the airport greeted by the NH collection rep to boarding the seaplane and then the speedboat to the resort it all felt like a 5 star experience

We met the General Manager Valentine and lovely Malory another resort manager, both were absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect

The staff is exceptional — friendly, professional, and always attentive to details — and the service was impeccable throughout our stay

When we arrived at the resort we were greeted by Diana and other team members who informed us of our stay and showed us the resort

Water shoes are definitely recommended for the sea as corals are sharp- I forgot mine The ice melts quickly - very quickly They often run out of white wine- drink the red, it's delicious Take coffee if you're fussy as there is only Nescafé sachets in the room and you can only get " proper coffee" at breakfast time

The weather was sensational, the views were to die for, the sea was warm and full of beautiful marine life. Excursions were ridiculously overpriced

Our air conditioning unit was stuck on 18 and wouldn't turn off, felt freezing when we came in from outside, but it's what we have the heating set to at home!! The mini bar was regularly refilled towels and bedding changed regularly and the toiletries in the bathroom smelt devine

The shop was terribly stocked, and you had to ask for a key to go in Bring snacks as even though it's meant to be all inclusive, I would say it's more full board with drinks, oh and a good first aid kit with pain killers etc as you can't get any in the resort

The room was lovely, with a beautiful lagoon view, and friendly chickens - yes really Some sockets didn't work, but the ones that did all take a British plug

The staff were absolutely wonderful, so hard working but even the maintenance team always had time for a hello

Special thanks to all the staff for the warm welcoming, housekeeping, activities, dining and lastly the warm bid of goodbyes, if i I have to name them specifically, Jien, Rai, Nitesh, thanks from the bottom of my heart

Super clean rooms, buggies to everywhere, lovely snorkeling beaches, many restaurants and bars, housekeeping services, and a minibar full of nice drinks and nuts

I am amazed truly from the location, the premise of resort and their hospitality, feel everything was just on point for my honeymoon trip

The butler service was impeccable; the place was clean, comfortable, attentive, and friendly, and the food was of a high standard. The pick-up and drop-off arrangements were especially smooth and thoughtful

We stayed in this hotel for a week for our honeymoon and enjoyed every minute of it. The team is doing an excellent job to make everything all right for you with no exception

We thank all of the hotel staff, starting from our villa host Visham to bartender Ahmed, as well as all the managers, restaurant hostesses, and waiters

While Ayada is a little difficult to reach, requiring a domestic flight from Malé followed by a speedboat, the resort handled all the logistics so seamlessly both ways that it felt completely hassle-free

His kindness and professional service made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better butler. Thank you, Nattu, for making us feel so special!

Amazing beautiful! Every detail was perfect and I don’t know where to start without to make a mistake 😊 Cleanliness, comfort, service, food, really everything was extraordinary 💪 From the welcome upon arrival our stay in villa with pool next to the beach was great and was further enhanced by the friendly staff, and I would especially like to highlight the manager Greg, our butler Shahin, the service...

They work so hard to ensure everything is seamless and stress-free. If you want a 5-star stay where you feel genuinely looked after, this is the place!

Our butler, Nihad, was exceptional and he helped us with all of our reservations and accommodated anything we needed. We loved the breakfast selection, and one of my favorite experiences was dinner at Mizu

Ours was the head butler, Zeeshan Haider, and as you might expect, he was incredibly helpful. We also recommend the team at the diving center; they were professional, helpful, and extremely kind

This wonderfully secluded island is the perfect choice for a truly relaxing getaway. Just a heads-up: remember to bring mosquito repellent for the beach villas

Overall, the value for money is excellent. The island is well-maintained, the butlers are good, and overall the team handles issues promptly. Food is good and the spa is decent. However the reef - is almost empty.

The staff were exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our wedding perfect. We stayed for 5 nights, and everything from the wedding planning to our stay was seamless and stress‑free

We won't be back but I still highly recommend it for people who always dreamt of a private island (feeling). (For the photos I didn't have to wait for the beach to be deserted. ) Thanks again to the Fushifaru team

Even though we booked the trip just one week before our year-end holiday, we were incredibly fortunate to stay in a Pool Water Villa at Fushifaru. Our experience far exceeded all expectations

From the warm welcome at Malé Airport to the seamless transfer to the seaplane—an unforgettable highlight of our journey—everything was perfectly organized

nice place, clean and nice view of sunrise and sunset  specially in seafront villa.. Looking forward to visit this place acain

No words can describe this place! It’s beyond beautiful, amazing scenery, beach, sun this place have it all...guys go with the full bored package and drink your day away chilling on The beach! It’s unbelievable!

Hotel is just amazing for families with kids. An island overall very comfy, picturesque, clean and super green. Rooms are quite old but clean and beds are very comfortable

It was wonderful to see my child happily playing and connecting with other kids at the kids club ,such a fantastic service that makes the stay even more enjoyable for families

Buffet food is not bed at all, but me personally missed freshly squeezed juices, offered box juices are really bed

We had a wonderful stay at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. The garden rooms were amazing, and the outdoor shower was such a unique and beautiful experience

Snorkelling was beautiful with lots of marine life to see and explore One suggestion for Angaga to consider would be to have 'tip boxes' in and around the various areas of the island

There are too many staff to tip everyone individually and also the kitchen and garden staff etc appear to miss out on tips which we feel is very unfair as they all do a great job

The boat excursions were excellent - we went on the Manta trip and were lucky enough to see several mantas although of course, this is never guaranteed

A bonus too was to see a Manta Ray. The captain served tea, coffee and coconut on our return to the island. The jetty gets very hot so remember your flip flops for your return

We have just returned from a terrific holiday in Angaga! The island is beautiful, the food is excellent with a great variety to choose from

Beautiful!😍 Food: We had half board, and the food was delicious and fresh. I followed the rule of eating only cooked or packaged food, avoiding open, pre-cut fruits, and my stomach felt great the entire time

My wife chose a nice hotel for our honeymoon. It has a private seaplane lounge, a Chinese-speaking butler, and the environment is decent. The price is cheap and good value

Very very nice location. Great sea view and good food. Very nice n friendly staff. Our Great host poula, a wonderful guy, manage to book for us a dolphin cruise and we get to see dolphin !! Highly recommend

I would like to praise the Chinese housekeeper Lily, whose Chinese name is Jinen. She answered all my questions and helped me in various ways

There was also a security guy named Ken who let us snorkel at the cargo ship dock and attracted many fish for us

Comparing prices on the official website and other channels, Ctrip was the most affordable

Super great place to spend the holidays, nice staff, great facilities, will recommend.

Everything at the resort is sparkling clean, drinks are delicious, and the 10-minute boat transfer from the airport is smooth and convenient. We felt pampered and completely at ease during our stay

The resort activities are so much fun and very well organized, making our days full of memorable experiences. The staff are exceptional—friendly, polite, and always ready to help

We highly recommend Malahini Kuda Bandos for anyone looking for a perfect Maldivian paradise. Every aspect of our stay was flawless, and we can’t wait to return!

Special thanks to Astini, Liona, Swati, Goma, and the talented chef team (we’re sorry we don’t remember their names!) for making our stay even more special

The food is amazing and wonderfully diverse, offering Arabic, Indian, European, Asian, American, and Middle Eastern dishes—truly something for everyone

There are 3 levels: Breakfast only, Full Board (AI), and Full Board Gold (AIG). On the second and third levels, drinks at the bars are discounted or free. But overall, it's worth the money

Having our own pool and waking up to that ocean view every morning was something really special. What really made the trip though was the service

Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about making your stay perfect. A special thank you to Sina, who was fantastic and always made sure every details was perfect

And Mubarak was honestly amazing. He made everything so easy for us and was always there whenever we needed anything. He really went above and beyond and made our stay even more special

The food was also great, so many amazing restaurants and every meal was delicious. Overall we had the best time and can’t recommend the Waldorf Astoria Maldives enough

The resort also offers a wide range of daily activities, including meaningful sustainability programs that guests can participate in

We had such an amazing stay at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi. From the moment we arrived, everything was just incredible
