From
United KingdomPerfect from start to finish - the rooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms modern (no wet shower which is a huge plus for me!), the staff are absolutely lovely, and Lola, the manager, is exceptionally kind and provides a 6 star service throughout your stay (and even before when arranging transfers over WA). A water station is available to refill your bottle whenever you please. A short walk to the bikini beach and the hotel arranges great excursions (I saw mantas and a whale shark!). I’ll definitely be back :)

HungaryDhangethi is a very nice island, with friendly locals, evolving tourism, and really nice accomodations. Atoll Residence Dhangethi stole our hearts. First when we saw the pictures and read the details of the profile. Second, when we got there and saw with our own eyes how lovely the place is, and how welcoming is everyone. We spent 2 weeks in a superb room. The food was simply fantastic. Assad and his team did everything they could to ensure our stay is perfect from every angle.
Traditional Maldivian breakfast (Mas huni) was so delicious, would be nice add as a regular breakfast option.
We cannot wait to go back!
Useful:
After arrival, if you have special meal request (pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan…etc), let them know, they will arrange it for you!

From the very moment you step into the Maldives, Lily Resort takes hospitality to a whole new level. Even before arrival, the hotel reaches out to arrange transfers, ensuring a seamless start to your vacation. While we initially opted for a domestic flight and speedboat (not recommended, as you lose half a day), our return by seaplane was nothing short of perfection—quick, luxurious, and topped off with a VIP car greeting at the airport. Pure bliss!
From the second you land, you are treated like royalty. Greeted by the general manager, guest relations team, personal butler, and even a live music orchestra, you instantly realize you’ve arrived in paradise. The attention to detail is impeccable—your butler takes care of everything, from a buggy tour of the island to offering a refreshing cocktail and cooling face towel after your journey. Whatever you need, they are just a message away.
Overwater Villa – A Slice of Heaven (10/10)
Stepping into our overwater villa was like stepping into a dream come true. The room was spotless, beautifully scented, and elegantly furnished, featuring: A massive bathroom with both a jacuzzi bathtub and a luxurious shower. Thoughtfully provided amenities—toothbrushes, razors, combs, shower caps, slippers, plush robes, and endless towels. A private infinity pool with a jacuzzi, filled with perfectly warm, crystal-clear water. A unique outdoor bathroom, where you can gaze at fish while taking a shower. A super-comfy king-sized bed with the freshest linens, plus a cozy daybed ideal for lounging with premium-quality TV and music systems. A fully stocked minibar—soft drinks, alcohol, snacks, and treats, all included! A spectacular glass floor panel, giving a mesmerizing view of marine life beneath your feet, day and night. Reliable high-speed internet—no lag, perfect for video calls and streaming. Everything in the villa was designed for absolute comfort—10/10 perfection!

Our stay at Constace Moofushi exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning it was excellent until the very end of our stay. At first we were complimentary upgraded from water villa to senior water villa which was gorgeous with an amazing view on a sand bank. The villa was very spacious ad comfortable and the view was breathtaking. On many occasions we were observing baby sharks swimming just under our villa. The villa was cleaned at least twice a day. The staff is very professional, they all took amazing care of us during our stay. We were amazed how good the staff is communicating with each other. On our last day they prepared table on the beach and when we get back to the villa my husband wanted to go to the reception to discuss our departure details and ask for a late check out but it was not necessary because there was already letter waiting for us on our bed from Moofushi team with a card for a late check out (free of charge!) and details of our sea plane (latest possible). We were really amazed! The food in Manta and Alizee restaurant (a la carte) and in Totem bar was sooo delicious and always fresh. We traveled with our 2 years old son and he was super happy there as well - loved to swim in the pool and was chasing the small birds which are super cute and can be find everywhere on the island. At the beginning we were wondering if our son will be able to open the door in the villa but the staff proposed a solution to it- they installed additional lock to our doors. Obviously when the doors to the terrace were open we needed to watch him closely :) This place is designed for relax! You don't have to worry about anything. The island is beautiful - it is a paradise. I really recommend a wine tasting as it was such a great experience with baby sharks swimming just right next to the sommelier. Thank you Moofushi team for our amazing stay and hope to see you again!

Our stay at Sun Island was amazing! We did stay 7 nights and did celebrate Christmas, fantastic! The Christmas dinner was unbelieveble… soooo many things to eat and drink! And the staff was so proud.. and so are we! We did stay in a watervilla for 6 nights and 1 night in a deluxe pool villa (thanks for this amazing room). The watervilla is okay, not special. The deluxe pool villa (nr. 249) was fantastic!!!! The Sun Star restaurant is good and the staff here (especially Rachel, Alam, Navin and the man who cooked pasta/meat) are so lovely and helpful. Rachel, Alam and my fiancé now did organize a romantic dinner at the beach for our engagement. It was so special! At the Christmas dinner did Alan got the best place for us with a nice view. He’s a fantastic waiter! The housekeeping is very good at the accommodations, and very lovely too. There are a lot of activities to do, for free or organized like swimming with mantas, whaleshark and turtles. It was amazing too. We saw them all! The island is very beautiful with a lot of nice beaches, restaurants/cafes and spots. The only draw back is that you’ve to pay for drinks when there are small activities (example: drinks after colour run). If you walk a few meters you can get the same drinks for free… The people at the reception are also very helpful, in special Sana. She helped us with all our questions! We want to thank the whole staff of Sun Island, it was amazing!!

Exquisite beach and water villas, amazing management team who welcomed us on arrival, walked around during breakfast and dinner and chatted with us daily and every staff member who was always friendly and supportive.
We are vegetarians so was worried about the options available but at every meal at least 3 chefs would come up to us to make sure there was enough to eat, otherwise they were willing to make special meals for us. Thank you Santosh, Rasheed, Chef Siddique and Chef Madan for going out of your way to take care of us.
Special thanks to Joseph for making my birthday memorable and special by booking dinner at Jing restaurant and arranging a birthday cake.
The villa was cleaned twice a day and the bed turned down at night. Nafiul did an amazing job at the villa and decorating the room for my birthday.
Special thanks to the management team Lucas, Sameera, Prabath, Sree Max for making this trip extra special.

A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.

Clean and comfortable space and egzotic sound of silence inside and outside, with moustly inisible but always smilenig staf in atmosphere of small green tropical haven make you feel very peacefull and relaxed. Last but not least Nika time is exscelemt idea which give you oportunity to enjoi all 12 hours of daylight on Maldives.

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.

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.

It’s a nice local island.
It’s a nice local island. It’s clearly very popular, as there are at least four new hotels currently under construction. In the future, the place may lose its local atmosphere and become very touristy. The grocery shops offer only a limited selection of goods, not like what we’re used to in Europe.

It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello.
There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food.
There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists.
We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways.
Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants.
Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type.
Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out.
Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got.
Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄
The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there

Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals.
Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals. They are Muslims, so respect them and wear decent clothes when walking through the village. The island has 2 restaurants with good food and fair prices, one dive base (Noohiri) and one small shop next to Shifa Lodge. We came for diving and found an abundant maritime life. There are 2 beach areas, one at the east side with the best snorkeling ground, the other at north/west side with berths for relaxing.
