A magical getaway to Paradise on earth

The property is a short 25 minute ride by boat, arranged completely by the hotel, which was exceptionally convenient. Everyone from check in to check out was wonderful. The island and the property that sits on. It was one of the best places we’ve been to. The water is clear you swim with fish, and you can spend days on end marvelling at the exceptional view of Maldives. Bashaar at reception deserves a special shout out. He made our stay unforgettable. we took the all inclusive package and it was the best decision because we got unlimited mocktail, soft drink cocktails, all three meals as well as snacks in between meals, which was highly convenient.

Exceptional hospitality, unforgettable views, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to retu

We had a wonderful stay overall and would gladly return in the future. The beach was absolutely stunning—truly like something out of paradise. The sea was crystal clear, and spending time by the beach was one of the highlights of our vacation. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options available throughout the day. Both the main meals and snack selections were excellent. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. What impressed us most was that after the first day, many staff members remembered our preferences and greeted us accordingly. This personal touch made us feel valued and showed that they genuinely cared about their guests. The resort facilities were easily accessible and more than sufficient. Activities such as billiards, table tennis, basketball, and tennis provided great opportunities to have fun, stay active, and socialize during free time. The property was generally clean, organized, and well maintained.

Good close to the airport island to stay with kids.

Loved the island and the lagoon. The appartaments were cozy and everything was easy to access by foot. I think it is a super place to be with small children. Maybe not the most romantic scenery Maldives island for couples.

I really loved this hotel! The beach is absolutely beautiful – white sand and crystal clear water. The food was amazing with lots of variety, something for every taste. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The overwater bungalow felt like a private corner – as if the whole island was yours. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Great location but activities way too expensive

Great location just a short 25 minute speedboat ride from airport which was ideal for our short stay. The staff were fantastically friendly and efficient. Couldn’t do enough for us.
