Professional staff, excellent service, great amenities ! The best place to stay on local Maldives islands. It’s obvious the hotel owners invested wholeheartedly - they organized transfer pickup to and from Male in a quality smooth speedboat (which made a huge difference compared to other local speedboats). Hotel restaurant was best value and quality food compared to other restaurants in the island. We ordered food multiple times directly to our room. Staff were really friendly and attentive - many thanks to onu and zhidan.

The house is new, clean and beautiful. And there is a place where you can relax and enjoy the seaview nearby. The time I spent here is comfortable and chill. Since the duration I stay is low season, the guest house offering me free tour guide for the whole island and free snorkeling plus GoPro video and photo. The boss and the staff here are really, really nice and kind.

We were enjoying our vacation in Dhiguveli Breeze. Personal were very professional and hospitality. All time we had breakfast/lunch and dinner in our Hotel because it was number one in the island.

This place is absolutely stunning! They’ve done an amazing job preserving the island’s natural beauty, and everything is focused on sustainability. The staff are super polite and professional they take care of every little detail from the moment you land in Malé. The boat ride is quite long but so worth it. We were welcomed with drinks and cold towels, and had a quick briefing to get to know the hotel concept and all the activities. Luis and Lucy were always around and ready to help with anything we needed! The buffet was incredible every single day fresh, healthy, and super tasty. Big shoutout to Ridoy and Rassika, who made us feel right at home every time we went to grab something to eat 🤍 I had the best massage in their spa, it’s a beautiful and clean space. The tours were amazing, especially the Ecoboo cruise. Inke and Ayan made everything more fun and captured the best memories for us with awesome photos and videos. Can’t recommend it enough I’ll definitely be coming back!

My wife and I recently had the privilege of staying at Kandima aqua villa hotel, and it was an experience that completely exceeded our expectations in every possible way. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an environment of unparalleled luxury and tranquility. The villa was a stunning blend of modern elegance and natural charm. Perched above the crystal-clear waters, it offered us mesmerizing views that were a joy to wake up to each day. The private deck with its direct access to the water was a personal highlight, offering a secluded and serene spot for us to relax and enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. The service was beyond compare. Every staff member struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, ensuring we felt pampered and well cared for throughout our stay. Their attention to every detail, from the exquisitely arranged room to the tailored recommendations for activities and dining, was impeccable. Dining at the hotel was a culinary journey like no other. Each meal was a celebration of fresh, local flavors, served with impeccable presentation. The variety and excellence of the food catered to all our tastes and preferences, making each dining experience a delight. The array of amenities and activities on offer was impressive. Whether we were snorkeling among the vibrant coral reefs or indulging in spa treatments, there was never a moment that wasn't filled with wonder. The hotel's dedication to providing a unique and unforgettable experience shone through in every aspect of our stay. In conclusion, this aqua villa hotel didn't just uphold the standards of a 5-star establishment; it completely redefined them for us. It was more than a mere stay; it was an unforgettable journey that my wife and I will treasure forever. We left with cherished memories and a yearning to return. For anyone in search of the ultimate in luxury, relaxation, and natural beauty, this hotel is undoubtedly the perfect choice.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who made us feel like VIPs throughout our entire stay. The customer service at this hotel is truly exceptional. When inclement weather prevented us from visiting the nearby islands on our scheduled day, the staff went above and beyond to make alternative arrangements. They quickly secured a hotel just a short five-minute drive from the airport and promptly rescheduled our flights when we expressed concerns about the revised departure time. . Their thoughtfulness and efficiency in handling the situation were truly commendable. The way the staff empathized with our disappointment at losing a day on the island soothes our disappointed hearts! They wasted no time in offering us an upgrade and special perks to compensate for the unforeseen circumstances. Their genuine concern and effort to make things right instantly turned our disappointment into excitement. Once we arrived on the island, we were greeted by a team of enthusiastic staff members who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their beaming smiles and genuine hospitality added an extra layer of joy to our vacation. It was evident that they genuinely cared about ensuring we had a memorable and enjoyable time. Throughout our stay, our assigned gem, Hamzath, proved to be a true gem indeed. He took great care of us, ensuring our every need was met. Hamzath went above and beyond to curate unforgettable dining experiences for us, recommending the finest restaurants and providing personalized attention. It was clear that he took immense pride in his work and genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. The natural beauty of the island was simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and vibrant colors of the surrounding ocean were truly mesmerizing. We were thrilled to discover that we could easily indulge in snorkeling right from our room.

The resort is fantastic - even better than the pictures. The staff is so welcoming and friendly from the moment you arrive till the moment you leave. We were greeted by a lovely Italian lady Iman, who gave us a run down of everything we need to know and an extensive tour of the island. They have golf cart services to take you to and from your villa which is really nice. The bar has great ambience at night, and delicious cocktails included in our package. The waiters are so polite and attentive. The room comes with a beach bag which you can keep afterwards so would recommend not to pack one for your trip Contrary to other reviews, we thought the food was great! Considering its buffet style, there was many options to pick from. Delicious and large variations of salads, lots of beef and chicken too. We also stayed for 7 nights, so that included a free dinner at an a la carte restaurant of our choice. We chose the fish restaurant which was a 10/10, dining over the water and overlooking the sharks and mantas!! Our package also included a fishing tour and free kayaking as well as the use of snorkeling equipment everyday! Special thanks to Naveen from housekeeping who came in twice a day to keep our villa nice and clean. His hospitality and kindness made all the difference. We loved our stay at Villa Nautica and have already recommended it to friends and family! Things to consider would be the speedboat round trip fee of $170 per person and green tax $12 per person/per night

visiting the Maldives is a dream for anyone and I knew that the ayada maldives resort would go beyond that dream. Since I made the reservation a year ago and started contacting the hotel, I noticed the difference. Highly qualified staff to provide our adventure with a unique experience. From our departure point to the island it took exactly 36 hours … in Male we had a completely pleasant reception by the Ayada team who took us to the airport lounge, carried our bags and boarded us to the island. Upon disembarking, another big surprise was waiting for us to take us by boat to our final destination, arriving there, a warm welcome and Iqu, our assistant for a week, was waiting for us. Nothing could have been more perfect. Our villa inside the ocean and overlooking the sunset was perfect, the crystal clear water invited us every day for a swim. The wonderful restaurants, the employees always with a smile and ready for a good morning, good afternoon, good night. It was worth every hour until we got here … worth every penny invested. We chose the hotel because we wanted the island further away from Male … ​​our choice was the best possible !! Ayada surprised us … she welcomed us and conquered us … she deserves all the accolades of the best hotel in the Maldives in all aspects !!! thank you for the wonderful week you have given us. Thank you Lizah for your attention, thank you Iqu … it was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you Maldives !!!

The super light weight bicycles at our disposal for us to go anywhere on the island. The welcome from the airport and the arrival at the island on a great boat. It was a dream. The gym was perfect as was the variety of dinners and lunches at the different restaurants.

I only stayed overnight in Male and, in general, it was enough. Simply passing though to get my flight home. As expected the city is noisy, busy and hectic. Wow the contrast from the laid-back, easygoing atol where I was based for the holiday. However, I still quite enjoyed it. The guy from the diving company arranged a tour guide for me whose policy was that I pay him what I thought his time was worth. I got to experience the traffic from a scooter (quite scary to begin with) was taken to the market and given lots of free samples of local foods to try and had visits to all the important sites in three brilliant hours. He also introduced me to a wonderful restaurant - The Seagull Cafe- where I visited another twice before leaving the food and the coffee were so good.

Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced. One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

I absolutely would return!

I absolutely would return! After the fact I was told this was a Russian resort but we interacted with a variety of guests during our visit. Our neighbors were guests 20 years ago and returned with two children. They were having an absolute ball. I loved the swim up bar at the pool - and the fact it was at the opposite end (along with a divider) from the children's area. Super attentive and friendly staff, great meals, I didn't tire of the options at the buffet. The a la carte restaurant was lovely too. We did the all inclusive and it was definitely worth it. Great chill vibe and overall a fun place to relax and play.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!
