Hotels with pool on first line in Maldives

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

Do yourself a favour and book. You can book half board or full board we had full board with a drink package. We loved our bikes with our personal name tags. My yummy coconut cake they made twice for me too

Our villa host Shah was just so attentive checked on us regularly. Yasir who was the most warm wonderful person who made us so welcome. The staff are so warm, friendly they can’t do enough for you

I miss those big smiles and the food, the cocktails my French champagne too. I highly recommend this property. The attention to detail you’re not just a number they go above and beyond for their guests

Japanese dining Dicka the chef there went out of his way to make every dining experience unforgettable he is incredible I’ll never forget tuna spaghetti he made for us on our anniversary lunch

We stayed 10nights our sunset water villa was wonderful as big as a house, private and we both enjoy snorkelling. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were the only couple at the resort

The list goes on and on… I miss Como and was truly amazing holiday and exceeded our expectations. I would definitely be going back home away from home. They even organised a photo shoot

We would also like to give a special shout-out to the dive center team, whose professionalism and friendliness created some of our most memorable moments, and to Hussam, the island photographer, who went above and beyond to help us resolve an unexpected technical problem during our stay

Travel logistics and communication We understood beforehand that the island is one of the furthest from Malé International Airport. However, our flight landed at 12:15 p. and we only arrived at the island at 6:30 p

While this is not the hotel’s fault, clearer advance communication about realistic transfer timelines would help guests mentally prepare for arrival day and set expectations accordingly

Communication and coordination during the stay: There were a few moments where clearer communication would have made a big difference: - We had a split stay between two villa types

That said, because this is positioned as a five-star resort, we wanted to share some constructive feedback that we hope may help improve the guest experience in the future

A special thank you goes to our host, Mercy, who was warm, kind, and always willing to help whenever we reached out… even on her day off

Under the transparent glass of the dining table, you can directly see the small fish in the sea. The restaurant on the island is basically the main restaurant. I highly recommend the chicken with coriander

The environment is indeed beautiful, with few people and great scenery, and the service is excellent, with a car and butler always available. However, the seaplane service was a rip-off

I initially thought it was the hotel's own plane, which explained the high price, but it turned out to be using a third-party operator. They didn't even provide earplugs for the flight from Malé

We visited on our honeymoon, and they surprised us with a cake and a lovely message prepared on the bed. The property is very large, so buggies are necessary, but the gentleman in charge of our room was exceptional

We LOVED everything about Soneva Jani, I still miss the chocolate and ice cream rooms! The chef for the main restaurant deserves an extra shoutout for his exceptional mannerisms and service

This place truly feels like paradise — a dream destination admired by people all over the world. Living up to its name, it offers an unreal, almost otherworldly experience

Most of the Spanish tourists—there are many on the island—go to centers run by Spaniards. We went to those too, but we didn't like them. more expensive, different, and very crowded. Thanks, Coralville, wonderful Rasdhoo!

We were two couples, the location was perfect, the rooms with simple, comfortable, and clean bathrooms had air conditioning and a fan, and the service was friendly and welcoming

For scuba diving and snorkeling, we recommend Acqua Adventure; the staff are locals, super professional, and take great care of you

We recommend booking your round-trip transfer to Malé with them. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, the best part

There is not enough sitting place for all rooms, we had to change with other guests (8 chairs for all the guests). I dont say that is a bad guest house, if you want to go very  BUDGET, it is a good choice

At first I want to write that this was a cheapest hotel on the whole Maldives. In this context the quality equals the price. on the web look like much better than reality. Guest house is a little rusty

Everyone had such a great time! Our butler Clare is wonderful, always a text message away, anticipating everything we needed ahead of time, and arranging surprises that made our stay especially memorable

But that is nature and nothing to complain but to mention. It is allways a wonderful experience and definitely mandatory to go to Hanifaru Bay to have a an experience of a lifetime with the Mantas

Food , breakfast and Diner same as last time, was wonderful and a delight in every way. Some specials, some tasteful catches of the day, etc etc. Just to mention, we always used Ocean Restaurant

Another thing that we realized was, all the sandy paths on the Island were totally clean during our first stay and different in September. All was good of course but it was a change

We did two tours to Hanifaru Bay with unfortunately not the same success that we had 10 months before, even during high Manta season. The water was full of Plankton with low visibility

The water villas (109-115 sq m) offer fantastic sunset views from their balconies, and the snorkeling outside the villas is superb. The water isn't deep; you can touch the bottom in many places

The rooms are very big, all of them are villas 🏠 or water houses; The scenery is very beautiful like a painting; The water is colorful; Compared to the natural environment, the food in the resort can only be said to be ok, the service attitude of the service staff is very good, especially the Indian guys Jafur and the Indian beauty Sussie in the restaurant, they are very friendly and good to children

The extremely popular 5-star resort hotel in the Maldives has a beautiful environment and can be called a paradise. Stay at the Villa and it is close to the seaside, so you can enjoy the unparalleled beauty of the beach

The restaurants, pool areas and beach are extremely well maintained and you find eye catchers everywhere you go

Our room was nice, but at night, you could hear the geckos running around the wood floor as the bungalow wasn't properly sealed from the outside world

Kihaa island in the Maldives at Baa Atoll is a lovely place. White sand, water bungalows, beach front villa's and sunny beach all the way round

Although the staff is continuously working on building and botanical maintenance, there are some blind spots, but which you can overlook easily. The overall experience is breathtaking for a first timer on the Maldives

We waited in the ‘Moo’ lounge for our sea plane, we were greeted by name, and given a lovely refreshing towel and a drink. We were able to get further refreshment and snacks whilst waiting as we wished

Amazing service end to end by the awesome team at Constance Moofushi - from the moment you step out of the airport arrival hall, someone from the team will receive you, for a seamless experience till they send you off eventually at the departure gate

dressing table and lit mirror, hair dryer, slippers, robes, well stocked mini bar, Nespresso coffee machine. beach towells, huge comfortable bed, sofa TV, sun loungers, chairs etc

Heaven is a place on Earth, it’s official! We were met on arrival and escorted to our sea plane check-in by a wonderful Constance Moofushi representative

We were met by staff when we arrived, check it was smoother than anything I have ever experienced, and our resort flipflops were waiting by seats for us

Each session lasted 60 minutes although should have been 30. He works you hard but it’s fun and the yoga overlooking the sea is a must for all

It was great as a couple on our first visit, but the recent shift to focus on families and welcome Kids has made this resort a repeat destination for our family. Highly recommend the all inclusive option!

The room is spacious and clean. The service here is personable and the quality of the food is consistently high. Our kids 12 and 8yo have loved the stay and we all had a great time

Our kids loved the complimentary mocktail making session where they were able to make their own mocktails, as well as the ice cream tasting activity where they got to try different flavours of ice cream and guess which flavours they were

We didn't get to see dolphins during our stay but apparently they will drop by sometimes. We saw sharks, turtles, jelly fish, puffer fish, anemone fish along with eels and squids to name a few

The workers are friendly on this island and they are proud of the fact that it's a living island. Every evening, there are sharks that can be seen from the arrival jetty

They are passionate about the marine life and we would bring our photos of turtles and marine life to show them so that they can help us identify them as well

While we sat by the sea, the restaurant constantly offered complimentary drinks. They even provided free sunglasses cleaning. I highly recommend the fishing trip

In the evening, as the sun set, our entire boat returned home full of passengers. On the return trip, we enjoyed a seat on the rooftop, enjoying the starry sky

Its actually an island that caters to all - groups, families and romantics. Loved the over the water villas, but think that the beach villa would be best for families

Very beautiful, the lagoon is nice and calm. All the restaurants we have are great, especially Koen and Wok Society! Services is the best. Everything is flawless!Lots of activities.

The view from the room is nice, but the beach quality is too poor, there are many small shellfish, which can easily scratch your feet

The service here was impeccable: friendly, prompt, and professional. We were delighted by the attentive butler service, and the restaurant's meals were delicious

The scenery was beautiful, and we were given a wide variety of cuisines and dishes during our stay. The sea villa with the pool was unique and spacious. It was an unforgettable experience,

On arrival at Male Int Airport we were met by NOKU representatives who took care of our luggage, they whisked us off to the Seaplane Terminal, checked us in for the transfer and accompanied us to the dedicated Seaplane terminal lounge, unfortunately we had a 3hour wait due to the Seaplane departure schedules, no fault of NOKU

A special mention must go to the spa—the treatments were sublime, offering the perfect balance of traditional techniques and pure tranquility. It was, without a doubt, one of the best spa experiences we’ve ever had

Our time at this resort exceeded all expectations. Waking up to the unobstructed, breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean from our villa was a daily highlight—it truly felt like our own slice of paradise

What made our stay exceptional, however, was the incredible staff. Their attentiveness and genuine warmth were evident in every interaction, making us feel valued and relaxed from start to finish

Lush, mature trees provide shade and a sense of serene seclusion, while the gentle rustle of leaves and the occasional sight of native birds and lizards made every stroll feel like a discovery

Super awesome clean nice beach resort and full of surprise!

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.

An absolute gem! We enjoyed every second at Cora Cora, the most amazing staff, gorgeous villas and delicious food! The place is truly freedom time. Thank you to every single team member for making our stay so memorable

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

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

The water is very good and the lagoon villa is beautiful, but the room I booked was reduced in price a lot later, which is a bit disappointing. I don't know if it's because of the peak season or off-season

All prices are announced without taxes, and then you get a pleasant surprise, and only when they billed you realized that the room bugs are paid, not a question of cost. It's just not nice when people hide

There are many reviews of the hotel online, but based on my personal experience, I highly recommend it. I booked four nights in the lagoon, and the hotel upgraded one night to the ocean suite

Both have their own unique charm. The lagoon's waters have richer colors, and you can watch the sunrise in the morning. The water is also shallower, so there are fewer fish, but baby sharks like to be active in this area

There are many coral reefs and a great variety of fish; I even saw a sea turtle. The hotel service was excellent and very welcoming. Every day during meals, the restaurant manager or a waiter would chat with you

The environment was pleasant, the food was good, and I participated in various island activities, including dolphin excursions, snorkeling with sea turtles, and sea fishing

A wonderful experience that will be a lifelong memory. We chose this resort because we fell in love with the bathtub overlooking the emerald-green sea

I could use this space to write about how stunning and scenic Hakuraa Huraa is, it truly is paradise! But honestly, what made my stay unforgettable wasn’t just the views, it was the incredible people who made me feel so welcome

From the moment I arrived, the team went above and beyond. Hussain kept my room spotless every day and always greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly chat

We had an absolutely amazing time at the resort. From the moment we landed at Malé airport, we were greeted by the hotel staff who assisted us with checking in for our seaplane transfer

There are some minor downsides, of course: the location is far from Male and it's impossible to swim at low tide. Otherwise, everything was top-notch

And Thara – wow! The desserts and breakfasts were mouth watering and out of this world. Thara not only catered to my diabetes but also greeted me every day with warmth, smiles, and chats that made me feel like family

And finally, Rumesh – the heart and soul of Hakuraa Huraa. Words can’t do justice to how genuine, kind, and welcoming Rumesh is, he made my stay very special

What an absolutely stunning resort. Food amazing Location the best. Each guest has 1 person to look after them for the duration like a butler. We had Faudi looking after us and nothing was a problem

She anticipated our needs before we even mentioned them, and made us feel not just like valued guests, but like family. Her sincerity and professionalism elevated our experience far beyond expectations

Vienne is the definition of a world-class GEM—warm, patient, caring, and genuinely committed from the heart. Every detail of our stay was coordinated flawlessly

Six Senses Laamu is not just a resort—it is a philosophy, an experience, a reminder of the beauty of slowing down and reconnecting with life

The entire Six Senses team deserves the same praise. Every staff member we met was cheerful, humble, and passionate about what they do

The chefs prepared unforgettable meals that showcased creativity, wellness, and sustainability—each dish told a story

The hotel has a large pool and a small artificial beach. The food at breakfast and dinner was good. The staff, especially during breakfast and dinner, were very friendly and helpful

It's a lovely hotel except that the rooms are a bit old and the service is very slow. I found the staff very kind and helpful however the service is always slow. The beach at the hotel is so nice and a great place to be

Due to the situation in the Middle East, we were forced to stay longer in the Maldives. For the first two nights, we stayed at a four-star hotel in Malé, but it cannot be compared to this hotel

The hotel offers excellent service. Transportation to and from the airport is very well organized. The staff responds quickly to all requests at any time of day or night. I was pleased with the excellent service

This is an airport hotel. Business like, decent facilities but noisy. Poor breakfast. the "beach is closer to concrete than sand pool is good.

Located right next to the airport, with a shuttle bus just a 3-minute walk away, the service is excellent. The facilities are a bit old, but the breakfast is good. Ideal for waiting to transfer to a seaplane.

We loved the interesting dining options (dream island, beach dinner, 5. 8), local island tours, snorkeling and dolphin cruise. Finally, the service was impeccable, and the staff charming and personable

The location was superb, and the calm sea made for enjoyable snorkeling, like being in a mythical underwater palace. The food at every restaurant was delicious and of impeccable quality

the sea plane experience was exceptional - getting a birds eye view of the stunning atolls throughout maldives was such a special treat

my husband and i came here on our honeymoon and i don’t have the words to express how perfect our experience was from beginning to end

from the moment we grabbed our bags, we were seamlessly escorted by a hurawalhi staff member who helped check our bags in for the sea plane transfer and guided us to the lounge, which was beautiful and offered complimentary food/beverages and a beautiful viewing deck where you could watch sea planes take off and land

When I mentioned the uneasy feeling I had, he clearly stated that repeat guests receive souvenirs and private cars, implying that they don't value non-repeat guests! It was disappointing

The Ocean Houses with private pool, elegant ambience, timeless moments and fine service provided by the House Master, are key elements that make Naladhu a premium honeymoon destination

We spent 8 nights out at Naldhu in late April 2026. We visit most years and we seem to always return. We usually go in October but our timing this year was a little different but the weather was just beautiful

We had clear skies, little wind and glassy seas for the entire visit, with the exception of the last day when the weather turned. Great time to go, we were able to east outside under the stars on the beach every night

The thing we really love about Naladhu is that at 75% capacity you can get around the island and rarely see the other guests, its a great place to totally relax and not have to worry about constantly bumping in to people

Samet the chef made special off menu meals for us and was happy to curate based on our appetite and mood. Hatim looked after us in the restaurant with enthusiasm all the time, always a smile and eager to please

Naladhu feels more like your own luxury home than a resort. The villas are spacious and private, with stunning views especially from the bathroom, where you can lie in the tub overlooking your private pool and the ocean

1 day tour is a must to get in Maafushi Island. Bfast is decent but dont eat too much if you will be doing the sharkbay tour as you will be proned to seasick. 5 days travel to Maldives as a whole is a enough

Staff and excursion teams are very helpful, theybreally do their best to take care of you. Team Octopus(excursion team) really takes care of you and get you nice pictures and videos of the excursion

However, I was pleasantly surprised by the view from the second floor, and the room itself was quite spacious. The advantage of being on a lower level is that you get a great view of the beach and coconut trees

Everything was good. Location is great and hotel did provide everything from A - Z. I am super satisfied!

Absolutely wonderful, very closed to the beach, friendly staff, ive got all my energy back , room is clean, breakfasts were good.

It is disappointing to see such rigid policies applied in circumstances beyond anyone’s control. In the Maldives, when the sea is rough and strong winds prevent travel, guests should reasonably expect some accommodation

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
