Staying at Anantara Kihavah for our honeymoon exceeded all our expectations,and our holiday on the beautiful island was truly magical! We were greeted onto the island by bongo’s,the staff welcoming us on the pier and serving us fresh coconut water before our lovely villa host,Harnie drove us on a buggy through the lush island plantations to our incredible, newly renovated,spacious and private over water villa,which offered full sea and beach view,and from where we enjoyed complete tranquility. The staff was impeccable! They always went out of their way to make each of our experiences memorable and personalized,remembering our names,surprising us with honeymoon cake, champagne and decorations and always offering us our preferred drinks for breakfast and dinner. Every night, we were taken on an amazing culinary journey at one of the five incredible restaurants,that offer cuisines from around the world and each in a beautiful setting,overlooking the water. Our favorite restaurants were “spice” and “sea” - Sea is the under water restaurant, from where we were taken on a gastronomic journey of a five course meal, six meters under water,experiencing the “message in a bottle” immersive dinner whilst marveling at the sharks, stingrays and more fish than you can imagine, peacefully swim around us in unison. The amazing execute chef,Joachim prepared our dessert on the table,like a masterpiece too beautiful to eat,and he was always present at the restaurants, ensuring guests were enjoying their outstanding meals. Another “wauw” experience was the snorkeling, which we thoroughly enjoyed and we were so impressed by the abundance of marine creatures and sea life, swimming around, just feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. It felt so calm under the water,and as though the fish were inviting us to join them in their underwater World. Anantara Kihavah is truly one of the BEST resorts we have ever stayed at and we loved every moment of this unforgettable honeymoon.

Milaidhoo is a true heaven exists on this earth. If you are looking for a place so relaxing, magical and as beautiful as photos seen in Maldives, you should choose Milaidhoo. The wonderful experience starts from the moment we transferred back from the Hard Rock Hotel. Milaidhoo pre-arranged a transfer with Hard Rock Hotel for us to meet the host at the airport. The host right away brought our luggages and took over with Seaplane check in. We are brought to the lounge with plenty of drinks and snacks. We took the first seaplane out at 10am and were received by a group of amazing people at Milaidhoo. The way they welcomed us, we felt that we were back to an old friends’ place. The smiles, the white dressed people with very nice scented towels, we feel we have landed in a heaven in the Indian Ocean. We were immediately escorted by our wonderful host, Yenny, showing the island and places. Our water villa 106 was definitely part of this amazing experience. The room is clean, well-built, furnished with all the luxury-branded items - drinks, cookie and a very big Bathtub overlooking the Ocean. We are welcomed by a sight of beautifully chilled Champagne with fruits basket. Though this is our first time at Milaidhoo, our host, Yenny was like an old friend we met again. She speaks not like someone just doing her work, but like an old friend who know our concerns, ready to help with anything. Every time we asked something, she was there the next second. She and the team made us a lot of surprises like flower bathtub, special words on postcards, writing on the beds, local sacks daily and the Milaidhoo photo frame with our photo we brought back for memories. The food quality is really comparable with a 5-stars restaurant from a big city like Singapore. The Turtle Watching Experience was a must try. We feel very safe in a good environment with all the people there talking to us, really making us feel like in a family home that we didn’t want to leave.

It has been a week since we've come back from paradise on Earth. The beauty of the Maldives cannot be described, but the amazing experience of staying at Dusit Thani Maldives, which was simply perfect, can. To be perfectly honest, almost everything exceeded my (very high) expectation. The resort is a beautiful jungle/garden and cycling through it is a pleasure for all the senses (especially in the evenings, when you can smell frangipani). We have stayed in one of the ocean villas. The views were simply stunning. The villa was very spacious and cosy, and even though the furniture is not brand new, it is full of drama. Plus, they have the most comfortable pillows my head had ever touched. The big highight-and what convinced us to stay in the resort-is the Thai restaurant Benjarong with it amazing chef and staff-we were usually attended by Novika (foodie as myself, so she could provide great recommendation) and James, who was also super nice and attentive. After having dinner at Benjarong the first night, we booked all of our meals there (with the exception for the night of Eid celebration, when we dined on the beach with live local music and dancing-thanks Sharif. I especial recommend the soft shell crab with curry - powder, the lamb chops, and my favourite dish in the universe-the Thai green curry. My husband fell in love with the dessert with water chestnuts and ended up eating it twice a day 🙂 (and of course I ended up taking the Thai cooking class). Another highlight for the foodies was breakfast. while the choices of "western" food, pastries is impressive, my very favourite (and I had it every single day) was the noodles station. Also, make sure you try the passion fruit jam which is to die for. You can always ask Mona (yet another, cheerful foodie) for recommendations. Moving from the food... Above the Thai 'restaurant is the Sata bar. My husband took the cocktail making class there and we met a very gifted bar attender Amita.

Drinks: We paid for all inclusive and the drink selection was huge! Several straight liqueurs (like vodka, two types of rum, tequila etc) you could mix with any soft drinks, about 10 cocktails to choose. Food: The buffet was incredible, the choices varied every meal but with some staples that were always there. The chef would cook in front of you - some days was burgers, some pastas, always eggs in the morning but with waffles as well! The table service was amazing, always making sure you had drinks. Dinner outside was great, with mood lighting on the tables as well. Rooms: We stayed 3 nights in a pool beach villa and it was HUGE and room service included every day. They cleaned the pool every day as well. They even set up a honeymoon decoration. The outdoor shower was brilliant! We then spent 2 nights in an over water villa and it was STUNNING! Smaller but it doesn’t matter, the views are unbelievable and there’s a reef about 100 metres up from the over water villas. We saw two black tip reef sharks which was just incredible, they didn’t bother us and was AMAZING to swim so close to them. People: The workers went above and beyond, always making sure you were comfortable and happy. They memorised our drink orders by the end of our stay. Afa handled most of our stay and moved us into a nicer room for our honeymoon - she really was amazing, thank you Afa! The workers were always doing something to make sure the island looked perfect: raking the sand footpaths, organising people’s beach chairs etc. passing anyone on the footpaths, they always said good morning or hello. Activities: I did a scuba dive and my husband snorkelled - we were the only ones on the boat, we were able to sit on the roof and look around. A pod of dolphins swam to the boat and my husband saw a sea turtle. I saw dozens of lion fish and moray eels, as well as abundant fish of all kinds. Easy dive and extremely enjoyable.

Great food and drinks served 24 hours - from international buffet breakfast at Maakanaa restaurant to Seafood / Italian ala-carte lunch or dinner at Raabondhi restaurant, to drinks at Boli Bar. Great facilities. We started our day early playing tennis, then followed with snorkelling around the house reef just in time for the turtle’s feeding time (before 8 am). There are lots of beautiful and colourful coral reef fish around the island, we saw 3 turtles and 2 baby sharks while snorkelling just in the house reef. Activities in Boli Bar is also noteworthy - from chilling by the pool, playing billiards, live bands, to DJ night - and all of that while drinks are overflowing 😉 Excellent staffs - April our Filipina Island host kept us informed of daily activities and attended to all our requests including restaurant reservations. Vinod made our beach villa clean, Himali and Akash from Raabondi restaurant, Maria who gave us private salsa class, Liani and Sita from the Spa who gave us great treatment and massage, and all the friendly staffs in Maakanaa and Boli Bar - everyone made our stay very pleasant. Transfers to/from island is bit time consuming, but forgivable considering the experience we had at the Island. All we had to do was Eat. Drink. Chill. Beach. Tennis. Sleep. Repeat.

Exceptional service. Beautiful island. Great food. This one of the best hotel I have been in my life. You start relaxing very quickly - even despite long flight and head full of thoughts brought from home. Our butler Yana did an excellent job in making sure our stay is perfect. Her sand drawings were very heartwarming. Kids club is great. I would personally add more sport activities to kids club. Especially for kids 8+. All restaurants were great, we personally liked Lagoon bar, Onu and Vakku. Italian place could be better, but it’s a common issue with Italian food in Asia. Children menu was fantastic. Breakfast was also exceptional, they even try to cook syrniki, but no successful so far. We hope this will be fixed next time we visit! :) Island itself is very green and well maintained. Snorkeling experience was above expectations.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Azoush and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive, ensuring that every detail of my stay was perfect. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, providing a perfect retreat after a long day. The hotel’s location was also fantastic, offering easy access to local attractions, dining, and shopping. Whether it was the delicious breakfast or the personalized service, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Azoush to anyone looking for a top-tier experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

I was here on Jan'2024 and everything was perfect. Very cozy small hotel with beautiful rooms and magnificent views of the ocean. The staff were very friendly and they made us feel relaxed and calm. The hotel is located on a small calm beach with a rich reef. The island is small, cozy, and amazing people live on it. My advice: 1) visit the fish market late at night to see stingrays and even sharks that come here for food 2) try a coconut drink at a local cafe 3) try a traditional Maldivian dinner or lunch at DFC Restaurant

We were happy about everything. Transfer via hydroplane is well organized. Check-in,check-out are quick. The island is beautiful ,very green and clean. The stuff is polite and service is excellent. Stand alone villas are comfortable and big with open air bathrooms. Snorkeling is fantastic! The house reef is amazing with live corals and reach sea life! The food in the main restaurant is good quality,always fresh,delicious and beautifully presented. Relaxing and calm holiday atmosphere. Simply amazing!

We loved the staff and size of the beach bungalow . Our location 138 was also perfect location for proximity to dive school and privacy Dive school also a great setup and the house reef , whilst motorised coral was incredibly abundant with shark, turtle , parrot fish etc

Everything was perfekt. The location is awesome, directly on the beach and everyone is super friendly. It is the perfect place to stay when you want to see mantas. I definitely recommend going on the diving and snorkeling excursions they organize every day

“It's great place for staying with family. Amazing staff! Our special thanks to Maria,she's been kind and friendly and willing to help with anything. The food was amazing. excellent quality. The overwater villas are incredible. It is worth the money.

The staff was absolutely fantastic and incredibly kind! A special shoutout to Nappe and Dudu who took excellent care of us our entire stay!! The man making the pizzas was also really kind, the lobster pizza is a must try!

Amazing staff, delicious food. There are masks/snorkels/fins for rent. The reef is just at the beach, snorkeling is very interesting.
