Constance Halaveli ★★★★★

📍 Halaveli, Halaveli

"Constance Halaveli is a piece of heaven… From the first moment we stepped onto the island, every member of the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. Their hospitality made us feel at home at all times. There are simply no words to describe the beauty of our room and the perfection of its view :) Our biggest thanks go to Mr. Wayne, Mr. Rasheed, Mr. Bandara, Mr. Tapas, Mr. Azim, Mr. Alim, Mr. Nico, Mr. Max, Mr. Saddam, and Mr. Ayman. We truly hope our paths cross again someday."

Gangehi Island Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Gangehi Island, Gangehi

"We are relaxing and now we are in this hotel. There were 4 days left until the end of the vacation, we decided to move to a villa on the beach; we chose it and confirmed that we were moving. A couple of hours later, an employee comes and says that the villa is occupied and offers other villas with a less rugged view and dry trees on the sides. I was very disappointed with the rest of my stay, the behavior of the staff at the reception was disgusting, I don’t recommend the hotel"

Nika Island Resort & Spa, Maldives

Nika Island Resort & Spa, Maldives ★★★★★

📍 Nika Island Resort, Kudafolhudhoo

"We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa next to the Sultan Suite (room 1) on a FB plan. This is our second trip to Nika and our seventh to the Maldives. We typically stay in water villas but we already knew that the Nika water villas had pretty much zero shade so were not for us. Transfers in MLE were a breeze for us as regulars, but some newcomers might be a bit bewildered by the lack of a lounge at the seaplane terminal. We were only there for 15 minutes so we didn’t even go up to the free lounge. A Nika rep met us after customs, but not at the seaplane terminal. But it’s really not that difficult anyway. Our deluxe beach villa was the best place we have stayed in the Maldives, better than places 3 times the price. My reasoning: it’s huge with a private beach, small lagoon and about 10 metres from the reef. There is shade throughout the day and places to sit inside and out in very many different ways. I feel they are vastly superior to Nika’s water villas. The non-deluxe villas are on the other side of the island and many have very poor reef access. Snorkelling the reef is a bit hit and miss. We saw the best fish life near the diving jetty, but the reef and coral is healthiest closer to the beach bar. At the reef’s best it was superb with vibrant coral, sharks, eagle rays and one day a turtle. Some days it was poor with little to see. Watch out for the current along the shore which can be strong enough to be difficult to swim against. Our best snorkels were entering near the dive jetty and exiting at the beach bar where we had a hot chocolate. Food was mostly excellent and the buffet nights such as the Italian buffet and Asian buffet top notch for the Maldives at this level. Some of the à la carte food was not great and a couple of nights we were disappointed. Drink prices for the Maldives are exceptionally good value. A half bottle of red for $17 was our regular and cocktails were typically $12. Most of the cocktails were well made, but it was rather bartender specific. We thought the FB package was good value and not worth the upgrade to AI based on the drinks prices. The resort supplied us with a full price list which I used to choose which package was the best value for us. Scuba is excellent with some world-class sites nearby. Experienced divers MUST request a night dive on Maaya Thila and was just incredible: an open water night dive with sharks and giant trevallys galore. The team is very professional and the rental equipment I saw decent. They split divers into capability groups and exercise the right level of caution when people have problems. The boat is dhoni-style so not the fastest with transfer times to dive sites are typically 30 mins but some are an hour away. It’s easy resort diving with crew to help you with gear, and I spotted a couple of older divers taking off gear before returning to the boat. Picking up on what others have complained about. No, the outside shower is actually fabulous. It’s true the Italians have mor"

Veligandu Maldives Resort Island

Veligandu Maldives Resort Island ★★★★★

📍 Island Resort & Spa, Veligandu

"Veligandu is a special experience. From the moment you arrive, and are greeted with tropical music and fresh fruit, you can feel the serenity. The nine nights we spent on the island was a blur of relaxation, luxury, food and drinks. In-between the cappuccino in the mornings at the delightful buffet breakfast, and red wine in the evenings at one of the a la carte restaurants, each day was spent between the spa, snorkelling, padel courts and laying in the sun. All the staff enjoy their work, and this is reflective in their joyous mood and willingness to go above and beyond for the guests. Our lifestyle host, Naveen took excellent care of us and helped us make full use of the island. We also really appreciate Ramesh, the chef at Madivaru, who expertly took on the challenge of accommodating my husband's dietary restrictions with pride. We could not possibly recommend Veligandu any more. If you are looking for a place to experience the Maldives, this should be top of the list."

Safari Island Resort & Spa

Safari Island Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Mushimas Migili Alif Alif Mushimas Migili, Mushimasgali

"Overall we enjoyed our holiday here BUT two aspects mean we will never visit here again We paid, I think £3,400 extra for 'All-Inclusive' but coffee from one of their many machines is NOT included and costs c. $6 a cup or $31 for two espresso martinis - WOW! It's regimented, limited meal-times. Without the AI, I can have a snack anytime in the Palm Bar from an extensive menu. With AI, only a choice of 4 sandwiches with instant coffee and Not between 11:30 AM and 3 PM Remember, you have paid £3,400 for this dubious privilege! AI finishes before lunch on your last day, notwithstanding our flight was not until nearly 9 PM It's their attitude that gets to me - trying to screw more dollars after already paying £9000 for a 2-week holiday for a couple. Uncompromising despite that we did the hotel a big favour to allow them to accommodate other guests on a trip The overnight boat trip was great for us BUT there was no sheet for us in our cabin, food was very basic, no alcohol allowed onboard and worst is that the cabin stank of fumes. The air-con wasn't operating adequately and could not be adjusted because of it's "age". Crew were very helpful but clearly disappointed with $35 tip - it already cost us $733 so expectations were high. We were lucky that after many, many hours searching, we did see a whale-shark but they are elusive and there are Many other boats and snorkellers pushing for a view of the creature. There are very definitely improvements that could be made in both the trip and conservation aspects Reef is good and we enjoyed seeing a great variety of marine life including many sharks :)"

W Maldives ★★★★★

📍 Fesdu Island, Fesdu

"From the moment we touched down in Malé until the end of our stay, W Maldives exceeded every expectation. We split our time between a beach villa and an over-the-water bungalow, giving us the perfect way to experience all the resort’s beauty and amenities! Both were incredible. The food was outstanding at every restaurant, with dishes prepared perfectly throughout our stay. Service was exceptional from start to finish. Special thanks to Bishka, Aramina, Arrin, Mark, Silva, Manni, Simba, Lynn, Namee, and Sonny — and to anyone I may have missed — every staff member was wonderful and made our trip unforgettable. Rain or shine, it was an amazing adventure. We can’t wait to return one day!"

"Facilities: The overall facilities in the water villas are good! The only drawbacks are inconsistent water pressure in the showers and the mattresses and pillows not being very comfortable… The restaurant in the water villas is also nice! Environment: The snorkeling resources on this island are amazing! They far surpass many scuba diving spots! 👍🏻"

"We recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at Constance Halaveli Maldives, and it was truly a memorable experience for us. We are sincerely grateful to the entire resort team for their warm hospitality and exceptional service throughout our stay. One of the best resorts in the Maldives for couples and honeymooners — beautiful surroundings, excellent service, and genuinely humble staff who made us feel special every moment. A special thanks to Adamino for the warm welcome, and to Sameera (EAM), Mr. KC, Louth, Ishan, Shanda, Juvita, Dhanushka, Bandara, Nishanthan, Hirusha, Gamini, Waseem, and Nuwas for their kindness and care during our stay. Their dedication and professionalism made our anniversary celebration unforgettable. Housekeeping team has done a great job. Thank you very much for the marvelous Bed decoration. Highly recommended for couples, honeymooners, and anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway in the Maldives!"

"First of all, the island itself is beautiful. We had a fantastic time at the Resort; the overwater bungalow exceeded all our expectations in terms of both comfort, and aesthetics. The food was excellent, enhanced with flavors of Italian cuisine. Every single staff member is incredibly kind, the atmosphere was wonderful.

Safari Island Resort & Spa ★★★★
"This was our first visit to Safari Island, where we celebrated our honeymoon, and from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The staff truly went above and beyond for us. We were welcomed with drinks on arrival, our luggage was taken care of, and throughout our stay, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Every member of the team made us feel genuinely valued and looked after. One of the biggest highlights was the inclusions. Complimentary snorkelling equipment is available throughout your stay, along with a free guided snorkelling trip, which was fantastic. The bars and restaurants also serve branded drinks rather than cheaper alternatives, which was a lovely surprise. Large bottles of water are always provided too. Although you sign a receipt for every order, all-inclusive guests will see the balance reduced to $0. For anyone not on the all-inclusive package, a glass of Coke is around $3, as is a large bottle of water. Premium cocktails, fresh fruit juices and speciality coffees, such as cappuccinos, are charged separately. Housekeeping was exceptional. Fresh towels are provided, and your room is cleaned twice a day. Considering you’re on a tropical island where sand inevitably finds its way everywhere, it was amazing to return to an immaculate room every single time. The island itself… wow. Absolutely breathtaking. Everywhere we looked felt like another postcard-worthy view, and every walk around the island seemed to reveal another little piece of paradise. It’s one of those places that genuinely exceeds your expectations. Another bonus was the air conditioning. Unlike some Maldivian islands that switch the electricity off during parts of the day, Safari Island keeps the air conditioning running 24/7, which makes a huge difference in the tropical heat. The food was outstanding, with plenty of variety at every meal. As honeymooners, the team also surprised us with a beautifully arranged private dinner for two on the beach, which was one of the most memorable evenings of our trip. They also host a beach BBQ every Monday evening, costing around $45 per person, which looked fantastic. Getting to the island was straightforward. Our seaplane transfer took around 25 minutes, followed by a quick 30-second boat ride to shore. However, it’s worth noting that transfer times can vary. We spoke to other guests whose seaplane journey took around an hour and a half because it stopped at several islands along the way. The staff around the pool, in the restaurants and the housekeeping team were all exceptional. By the second day they already knew our room number and our regular drink order, and it was those little personal touches that made our honeymoon feel even more special. The only downside to an otherwise perfect holiday was departure day. We intentionally booked a late evening flight back to the UK to make the most of our final day. However, the all-inclusive package finishes at midday"

Ananea Madivaru Maldives ★★★★★
"ANANEA Madivaru is truly an exceptional place. We have now stayed here for the second time, and once again, everything was simply perfect. We already loved it the first time, but coming back only confirmed how special this resort really is. The food is on an incredible level – every meal was a pleasure and the quality was outstanding. What impressed us most, however, is the warmth and friendliness of the entire team. The service is attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and every little detail is taken care of. You simply feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The cleanliness, size, design and amenities of the villas are fantastic. Everything feels spacious, luxurious and beautifully maintained. Most importantly: everyone feels comfortable here – from adults to children. It is the kind of place where you can truly relax, enjoy every moment and feel completely at home. For us, ANANEA Madivaru is more than just a beautiful resort – it has become a place we love coming back to. Our second visit, definitely not our last. We will be back! ❤️🌴"

W Maldives ★★★★★
"Our honeymoon at W Maldives exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every member of the team made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. A very special thank you goes to our W Insider, Callisa. She was absolutely amazing throughout our entire stay—always warm, attentive, incredibly responsive, and willing to help with every request. Whether it was arranging activities, restaurant reservations, transportation, or simply checking in to make sure everything was perfect, she made our honeymoon completely stress-free. Her kindness and professionalism truly made all the difference. The island itself is breathtaking. The overwater villa, crystal-clear lagoon, incredible house reef, and beautiful sunsets created unforgettable memories every single day. Snorkeling with sea turtles, enjoying the amazing dining experiences at FIRE and FISH, and relaxing on the pristine beaches made this trip one we will cherish forever. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition. Our villa was always spotless, and the thoughtful decorations and little surprises during our stay made us smile every day. Those personal touches really showed how much the team cares about their guests. Thank you to everyone at W Maldives for making our honeymoon so special, but especially to Callisa, whose exceptional service and genuine care made this trip truly unforgettable. We cannot wait to return and create even more wonderful memories. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a luxury island escape and an unforgettable honeymoon experience."
