Food proposed in the all inclusive is just a wonder of taste! All the team of the hotel and the dive center is just perfect, always looking for small details, and helping during the stay.

Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Ristorante ottimo . Camera bellissima, spaziosa con bagno all’aperto splendido. Un sogno! ##### Roberta Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene 7 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Impossibile trovare un difetto!! Location mozzafiato, Sunset beach Villa top, bagno meraviglioso, ristorante curato, pulitissimo buffet sempre in ordine e cucina ottima, tra le migliori trovate in villaggi! Personale sempre sorridente e gentile dal primo all’ultimo, non menziono nessuno per non dimenticare qualcuno!! Ottima organizzazione con idrovolanti e collegamenti con aeroporto, zero stress!! Consiglio di controllare minuziosamente le maschere del diving prima di prenderle in dotazione, ma nulla che ci abbia rovinato una delle nostre vacanze migliori! Non si sbaglia se si sceglie questa struttura per rilassarsi e fare pace con il mondo! ##### Irene Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephane 14 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôtel sur une île privée, très bon accueil, services au top. Nourriture variée et de qualité. Cependant options de restauration en extra très chères tout comme les boissons. Villa pilotis au top, chambre confortable. Globalement un bon séjour, juste dommage qu'au départ l'hydravion fut en retard. On a donc attendu pour rien dans le hall de l'accueil au lieu de profiter du lieu. Un déjeuner pour patienter aurait été un geste commercial appréciable. ##### Stephane Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### denis 29 Oct 2025 ##### denis Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Iurii 10 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Iurii Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AKIKO 30 Mar 2024 ##### AKIKO Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [OBLU SELECT Lobigili with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-SELECT-Lobigili.h72915067.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [V Villas Maldives at Mirihi - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirihi-Hotels-Mirihi-Island-Resort.h1395195.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [Jumeirah Olhahali Island ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhahali-Hotels-Jumeirah-Maldives-Olhahali-Island.h30983987.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Haven Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhiffushi-Hotels-Villa-Haven.h101976391.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhigurah Tourist Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhigurah-Hotels-Dhigurah-Tourist-Hotel.h107694000.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Thudufushi Maldives Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thudufushi-Island-Hotels-Diamonds-Thudufushi-Beach-Water-Villas-All-Inclusive.h4595589.Hotel-Information) > > [OZEN LIFE MAADHOO - Luxury All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maadhoo-Hotels-OZEN-LIFE-MAADHOO-A-Luxury-All-Inclusive-Resort.h16821632.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufa Escape](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhigurah-Hotels-UFA-ESCAPE.h36373261.Hotel-Information) > > [Rahaa Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kudafares-Hotels-Rahaa-Resort.h35631852.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Hotels-Holiday-Island-Resort-Spa.h2983164.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhangethi Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhangethi-Hotels-Dhangethi-Inn.h82478965.Hotel-Information) > > [Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamendhoo-Island-Hotels-Vilamendhoo-Island-Resort-Spa.h1668041.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Koimala Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Hotels-Koimala-Hotel.h16001389.Hotel-Information) > > [South Ari Dive Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhangethi-Hotels-South-Ari-Dive-Center.h29873352.Hotel-Information) > > [Ari Grand Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhangethi-Hotels-Ari-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h87369295.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [Brennia Kottefaru](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brennia-Kottefaru.h48188848.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [VARU by Atmosphere - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madivaru-Hotels-VARU-By-Atmosphere-A-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h37735063.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maafushivaru-Hotels-Lti-Maafushivaru-Maldives.h5248538.Hotel-Information) > > [Angaga Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angaga-Hotels-Angaga-Island-Resort-Spa.h11673084.Hotel-Information) > > [Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machchafushi-Hotels-Centara-Grand-Island-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h4925143.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Maldives with 50 percent off on Sea Plane round trip 03 nights & above](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Radisson-Blu-Maldives.h45693918.Hotel-Information) > > [RAAYA By Atmosphere with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kudakurathu-Hotels-Raaya-By-Atmosphere.h91617404.Hotel-Information) > > [Maaniya Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Hotels-Maaniya-Palace.h96262450.Hotel-Information) ---
