Hotels with pool on first line in Maldives

The island is small so you get more privacy. Awesome food !! The lagoon villa with a private pool and the tropical themed bathrooms are out of this world. We could see all the fishes near our villa itself

The island is small, but the snorkeling is good. It's conveniently located near Malé, and the decor is simple. It's a good option for those who don't like seaplane transfers

I stayed in two room types; I recommend the one without a breakwater

We paid and booked a month before the trip for the all inclusive package with alcohol, when we got on the island we were told we had the full board, then they tried to argue with us about our booking for 3 hours; we waited for our room until 3pm, later on the manager called us to the room that confirmed our all inclusive package, last day ; our flight to dubai leaves at 6:30pm, we were told the night...

The aquatic environment was also great, so we could see turtles, Nemo, white tip sharks, and nurse sharks at the resort house reef, and we could see sharks and eagle rays passing by our ocean pool villa every morning

The steak and lamb ribs at Lalu Restaurant, which we ate on the last night, were also good. Lalu Restaurant is located on the beach, so you can enjoy a romantic dinner while watching the sunset

On the plus side, there is an airport, kayaks, friendly staff, shark feeding. More adults are also staying at the hotel. The beer and cocktails are good

Great location with superb view stunning vibes and superb customer servive

We stayed in the beach villas for 2 nights and in the ocean villas for 2 nights. Both the stays were worth every penny. The rooms are very luxurious and they keep them very clean

The beach villas are very close to everything - ocean, beaches, restaurants, reception. The view from the ocean villas is breathtaking. I can go on n on but one has to experience it to believe it

I enjoyed swimming at the beach! The water is so clear that I can see the fish swimming under the water!

Rajan our house attendant was a particular highlight, he always had a big smile on his face and went above and beyond to make our stay special and really succeeded, if you read this Rajan, thank you very much for your excellent hospitality, you made our stay very enjoyable! Only feedback I would give is to reduce the number of notifications sent by the app, it was a bit excessive

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

The food was also absolutely excellent in every restaurant. Last but not least the whole resort was so beautiful and taken care of from the stunning beach to every single flower

Probably the most spacious accommodation we have stayed in with our own plunge pool. If I had to be slightly critical , I would say that things are a little tired in places , however it weirdly adds to the charm

The hospitality manager Delia who was always checking up on us and having great conversations with us, the nice serving lady named Ari at Oasis who always made sure everything was perfect for us and also the reservations supervisor Rahul who organized this amazing stay for us and many more! Especially our butler Mira was the nicest and was always helping us with absolutely everything! Mira was always...

The house keeping was also absolutely excellent. Every little detail was taken care of and everything was always spotless. They always worked with great discretion and always respecting our privacy

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

While he also would remember preferred seating, food and drink - a great guy and can’t wait to come back and catch up with him! Also credit to the man who was potentially head of food/ entertainment- very interesting person to speak with in evening

We were disappointed to show up for the scheduled bird feeding 10 minutes early only to find the birds had already been fed. We were given snorkel equipment to use during our stay which was one of the highlights

One point we would like to highlight is regarding the Infinity Pool Villa. We had booked this villa in advance; however, since other guests arrived earlier, it was allotted to them on a first-come-first-serve basis

My friend and I stayed for 6 nights. The staff are friendly and provide great service. The in ocean water villas could use some maintenance and updating but it's so beautiful here that those are minor concerns

Room was kept clean and replenished by Adhil his towel Art was great!! Loved the island, snorkelling day trips and swimming in the afternoon. Food throughout the week was great, everyone must eat the fish

They offer a water aerobics class daily at 10 am. The instructor, Sumith, provided a fun, encouraging and challenging workout that we enjoyed almost every day of our stay

It was very convenient to get to the beach from our room, and the beach itself was well-maintained and clean.

The most basic room type we stayed in was perfectly adequate; if I'm not mistaken, the main difference was the open-air bathroom. This Maldives masterpiece in the backyard is priceless

If you have a short vacation, you should definitely choose a nearby speedboat island! We also visited the neighboring Vabbin lagoon; it's even bigger and more beautiful! If you don't drink alcohol, you don't actually need AI, and you can also consider the Twin Island Vabbinfaru

In the restaurant, Eni ensured our dining experience was seamless, while Nish at the bar offered exceptional service. And, of course, the food was outstanding—abundant, delicious, and full of variety

Having an extra half-day relaxing on a Maldives resort island is so important to us! The service was very warm and friendly; we didn't experience any discrimination (because people often say that some islands in the Maldives discriminate against Chinese tourists)

We were told the wait wouldn't exceed one hour, so we were a little disappointed. However, the fact that we had a room to stay on the island immediately upon arrival was a plus, essentially like early check-in

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

The advantage of this Four Seasons hotel is that it's a large resort, so there are plenty of activities available, including water slides and some free programs, such as a free one-hour snorkeling class for beginners every day

It was very troublesome to choose an island before. I chose Four Seasons through various comparisons. I read many reviews before and they were not from Ctrip, so it was difficult to get the information I needed

It maintains excellent water quality and the seawater is turquoise and blue

It also organizes some activities, as well as promotional cards and short stories, to remind travelers from all over the world to devote themselves to environmental protection and protect the ocean and marine animals

If you need more personalized hotel service, it's recommended to choose another resort with butler service at this price point

The hotel pays special attention to environmental protection and takes practical actions in all aspects such as facilities

Good value for money There are beautiful house reef sharks sea turtles and other fish to see full There are free sunset tours with a chance to see dolphins Staff service attitude is excellent Answer all questions

On the island there is an excellent diving center professionally managed by Euro-divers, perhaps just a little expensive in prices, especially in the case of family packages or other combinations that include a certain number of dives

We obviously didn't go there) Be sure to take coral slippers in the stove in the water, there are a lot of pieces of coral almost everywhere. You don't need to take regular shoes. You can walk around the island barefoot

The service is good, the food in the restaurant tastes authentic, and the snorkeling is really good, but the rooms on the island are full and a bit noisy. The privacy of the garden room is poor.

It is a very well-kept resort with various environmental sustainability certifications, very quiet (there are no noisy activities, apart from some music after dinner in the bar area)

1. The staff us so kind and nice 2. The food us very delicious 3. The wifi is not good connected 4. The view is wonderful 5. You can do snorkelling in everywhere

Noticing I had a bad cold and had lost my voice, the Four Seasons team thoughtfully arranged for a resort doctor to be on standby upon our arrival — an incredibly caring touch

We were warmly greeted at the airport by both Virgin and Four Seasons staff and escorted straight to the boat

We stayed for 13 nights and honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. Every member of staff was genuinely warm and attentive, despite the high number of guests — we even met couples returning for their 12th visit

The food was outstanding — fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. We’ve never experienced a resort that so effortlessly offers premium ingredients like lobster or Wagyu beef whenever you wish

Leaving was emotional — we were in tears on the boat back to the airport, especially when the hotel went above and beyond by speed-delivering my forgetful husband’s bag just in time

We loved all the restaurants, particularly the Sunset Bar, where enjoying cocktails while watching the sunset as our daughter played in the sand became a daily highlight

The food choices are more than adequate, there are two restaurants, Alita is the buffet and for breakfast, lovely Illy coffee, Vista is the overwater Italian again very good quality

Hammy offers a snorkel guided tour of the reef, certainly recommended. The gym has everything you need, BUT the Yoga should be free and regular, overall an amazing experience

My friends and I had been regular guests at this hotel for several years, but due to the latest situation, we will never return and would not recommend it to anyone. Due to a sudden, serious illness, I was unable to fly

I provided all the necessary documents and notified the hotel in advance. It was reasonable to expect at least a rescheduling or a refund—after all, I always paid on time and never let the hotel down

The cancelled reservation was for April 3-4, 2026, and my last visit was in March 2026! Unfortunately, even beyond the financial issue, the hotel itself leaves much to be desired

Imagine my surprise when they flatly refused both a refund and a rescheduling request. The hotel simply took my money, showing complete disrespect for a loyal customer

while 6 months pregnant, and it felt grounded, wholesome, deeply relaxing, and truly luxurious — service on another level, and in a different way to St Regis, Patina, or Four Seasons: less performative, less dress up, no influencers, no gold and marble

Every staff member was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel special throughout our stay. A huge thank you to Zaha, our guest experience manager, who made everything seamless and personalized

The private villa with the overwater pool was stunning — waking up to endless ocean views and stepping straight into the water felt like a dream. The hospitality was truly next level

The entire island and the service were excellent. We'll definitely go back.

There were so many fresh, delicious choices that still felt indulgent while fitting a wellness-focused lifestyle. One of the things we appreciated most was how sustainable the resort is

It is clear that Six Senses Kanuhura genuinely cares about the environment and has thoughtfully incorporated sustainability into the guest experience without compromising luxury

Intercontinental Maldives was the best choice for our honeymoon without any doubts! The staffs are friendly, the food and atmosphere are great, and the house reef environment was exceptional

The staff truly went above and beyond with their kindness, it made the atmosphere great. A special shout-out to our butler, Siyaag, who made our experience even more memorable with his attentive care

In him, everything from the service, to the 2-time cleaning of the villa, to the magical food. The staff is professional and tactful, all requests are resolved immediately by the attached manager

They surprised us especially when they decorated the boat and my sons room with his favorite disney Mcqueen character! We didnt even tell them anything! We can’t wait to return!

Our stay at the InterContinental Maldives was absolutely amazing. The food was impeccable, and the service was exceptional. Our room was amazing and always kept clean

Thank you so much to Natsumi and the intercontinental team for the warm welcome and the hospitality during our stay! Lee & Kim from South Korea

Absolutely breathtaking location and impeccable service. Everything about Kandolhu exceeded our expectations. The staff are very friendly and professional and bent over backwards to make our stay perfect

Absolutely beautiful island, friendly & fun staff who made us feel pampered & so relaxed. Food was amazing in all restaurants, huge villas, best house reef we’ve ever snorkelled. Quiet

This was our fifth visit to Kandolhu and once more we had a fantastic holiday. The weather was perfect so we were able to snorkel a few times a day, regularly right round the whole reef

The coral is visibly showing more colour and life. As always we saw lots of turtles, rays (eagle, sting rays and mini mantas), shoals of beautiful fusiliers and so much more

We were very lucky to be there for the special dining experience with a visiting chef, both in Olive and Sea Grill

So good we are booked to come back again! Thank you to all the team at Kandolhu for their welcome and care Anne & Nigel x

We ate at every restaurant except for T Pan and Decanter. Chef Abdul at Orientale personally came to our table to ensure that our meal was going to be prepared completely gluten free because one of us has Celiac disease

He made our final night at the resort extra special, and we have never experienced this level of service anywhere else in the world. We were happy to find gluten free options at Crust and Craft for lunch

We booked an overwater villa facing the island. The room was always clean and well maintained. The housekeeping staff left us welcome gifts and lovely messages on the windows each morning

Regis Maldives at Vommuli truly stands above world class when it comes to service and hospitality. Everyone at the resort greeted us with a smile and made sure that our stay was perfect

We were happy to be offered breakfast free of charge each morning by being a Platinum Marriott Bonvoy member. Having breakfast at Alba was a perfect way to start each day of our stay

Ibrahim did a fantastic job and was very kind. We had to visit the Doctor during our visit. Saad and his assistant, Raja, were super kind, helpful, and happy to help us feel better

Every meal felt like a curated experience, with incredible variety, flawless execution, and genuine attention to our preferences. What truly sets Kudadoo apart, though, is the service

The residence was perfect, everything you can possibly need is in your room, gorgeous deck with beautiful views and pool! Last thank you Jetsetters Vacation, for arranging this perfect trip! We will miss the whole crew at Kudadoo but we shall return!

Kudadoo somehow managed to exceed our expectations on our second stay—something we didn’t think was possible after our first visit

From the moment we arrived, everything felt even more seamless, thoughtful, and personalized. The food was outstanding throughout our stay, again even better than our first stay

We can’t think of trying another new resort in the Maldives as Kudadoo raised the bar so high I think it’s almost to find a resort as good as this. No wonder majority of the guests are returning guests

The treatments were world-class, pure serenity. Every treatment felt deeply restorative and added another layer of magic to our experience. Kudadoo continues to redefine what luxury means to us

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!

We went for the beach villa as prefer direct access to the beach and it was perfect. Large comfy bed with sheets like satin, sofa area and straight outside to plunge pool, seats etc

A gorgeous small island, you can walk around the entire island in 10 minutes. Having visited the Maldives many times in the past, we loved the W as it’s newly renovated and immaculate

There are free soft drinks in the mini fridge in room (and juices) and dotted around the beach villas are fridges you can help yourself to the soft drinks and also clean towels

Particularly enjoyed Fish as you could choose the catch of the day with sides and we were able to sit outside one night when there was finally no rain! You can sit and see the sharks from your table

Also note that water is all bottled onsite and is free so you don’t have to pay for water at lunch or dinner. This is great as many resorts we’ve stayed at charge crazy prices for water

All food was excellent from the breakfast with plentiful choice of fruit, smoothies, juice, eggs to order, Maldivian curries, fancy sweets treats

We also enjoyed thrilling jet ski rides, racing across the crystal-clear waters and feeling the adrenaline rush. There were plenty of fun activities to keep us entertained, from kayaking to relaxing beach days

One of the highlights of our trip was the chance to explore the beautiful beaches known for their friendly nurse sharks

So we couldn’t attend any of them. And I will give you an advice - bring beach shoes to protect your feet from corals

Loved it !!! Everybody made my stay amazing and unforgettable. Great hotel. Just the fee at the end surprise but still I so I would book again

Amazing stay, we relly enjoyed our time at Plumeria.

Well organized and staff were friendly and well trained, but they charged additional fee for paying with credit card and there is no ATM on the island … This was definitely a down point, but other than this it was a pretty good experience

We stayed at Anantara Veli for 11 nights and had the best time of our lives. Let's begin with the service, from the minute we arrived to the airport to the moment we checked out the service was absolutely flawless

We left two weeks ago and are still talking about the people, the food and the resort. From being whisked away to the lounge after landing, we were on a speedboat to Anantara Veli in less than 15 minutes

Honorable mentions to the greatest people we came across during our stay: Mithun in Dhoni Bar, Bokey in Cumin, Hassan and Lyss in Origami and of course, our room boy Ruhul, who kept our overwater pool villa spotless twice a day, everyday

The turquoise water is so beautiful that pictures and videos do not do it justice. The grounds were always clean and every staff member will make sure you have anything and everything you need as soon as you sit down

Sea Fire Salt was very good and we had the most entertaining marine life while we were enjoying our steaks! All the way to our departure gate, Anantara made sure we were taken care of

I stayed in a water house for three nights. I have been to many beaches, so I think it is more rare to stay in a sand house than a water house. As the name suggests, the water house is on the water

The coral at this resort was incredible. There were many kinds of coral and also huge corals. We found black-tip sharks, sea turtles, many kinds of fish here by just snorkeling from the beach of the resort

Fantastic hotel! Nice people(always very kind), great sea food! Simple but challenging par 3 golf course! Amazing bungalows sea view!

I went here with my husband and our daughter. We stayed in the water villa which was huge. They provided us 3 bicycles for our villas. We biked to the restaurants, to swim at the beach, to do snorkeling

beautiful extreme island of the archipelago ocean Amazing service in a truely beautiful location. We had a fantastic holiday. All the food was delicious and especially loved the snorkelling and mango daquaris.

This makes such a difference to your every day life here. Also, every room has a free bike which you can ride around the island on. Alternatively, you can call reception and hire a buggy to take you

Luxury Resort, with very friendly staff n beautiful place. Good food, best for snorkeling and scuba diving. Lots of dolphins during sunset n cool live music.... Lovely place to be ! Best
