"A Truly Unforgettable Stay! We recently returned from a stay at this stunning resort in the Maldives, and while the natural beauty is truly breathtaking - from the crystal-clear waters to the serene beaches and luxurious villas - it's the people who made our experience genuinely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and gracious hospitality. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay as special as possible. It's rare to feel so seen and cared for while traveling, but here, it felt effortless on their part. A special mention must go to Chef Prasad, whose culinary talents left us speechless. Not only was every meal absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, but Chef Prasad also took the time to personalize dishes and share stories behind the flavors, adding a heartfelt and memorable touch to each dining experience. We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to Vinet, Basim, Aalif, Musak, Nashid, Soban, Narsu, Das, Tshering, Zar, Thoriq(John), Bosan, Pilu, Riley and Shifau, who each went above and beyond in their own ways. Whether it was anticipating our needs before we even asked, sharing local insights, or simply greeting us with a genuine smile every day, they all played a part in making our trip feel more like a homecoming than a holiday. We can’t wait to return! "

"Wow wow wow This resort is absolutely stunning. The staff can’t do enough to help you. The food is absolutely amazing. We stayed in a villa over the water for 8 nights in the adults only section part of the island. "

"Honestly, one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The resort was absolutely WOW in every detail and the staff were amazing. Every single day was full of fun and we never felt bored, not even for a moment. We regretted not booking more nights because it was truly one of the most unforgettable vacations. Everything exceeded our expectations – we can’t wait to come back again soon"

"This is a rare find and we felt very privileged to stay here. The island is a locals island and felt like a real Maldivian experience. As advertised, you can dive 3 times each day which is amazing. The staff are all incredibly lovely and kind. The rooms are perfect for what you need with air con and good Wi-Fi. The food was plentiful and really tasty. If you’re up for an adventure and don’t feel the need for a polished version of the Maldives then this is the place to be. Cultural appropriation is important here and you won’t be sipping beers in the evening but you definitely won’t be disappointed. My 14yr old daughter was taught to dive and given the opportunity to do her PADI course whilst there with the very experienced Midhoo who was was awesome. We are truly grateful. Take some local currency and mosquito repellent !"
