Get an overwater bungalow for the best experience, but the beach villas are great, too. The sea life is vibrant (lots of shark and colorful fish), the water is clean and warm, and the water activities are fun. We loved the food at the restaurant — fresh, diverse, and not dumbed down for tourists. We would definitely come back — for at least 10 nights. It will go by faster than you want it to. Read Less

Beautiful isn’t a strong enough word. We were treated like royalty From the minute we stepped off the plane it was sheer luxury. You meet to fill out a Imuga form 96 hours before you go find this online. Also we were allowed 23 kg on plane. But sea plane charges if cases over 20 kg. We paid the extra 50 dollars. American dollars are good to use here. The sea plane lounge was a treat to behold. Air con. Cold flannels and soft drinks. Toilets and showers. We were greeted warmly at the island by Naaif who looked after us via what’s app the whole trip. Greeted with a traditional Maldivian drums and good advice given we were showed to out water Bungalow. We were truly amazed. We did all inclusive and as others have said there’s a small mini bar which is refilled daily. All inclusive includes some named spirits bacardi and baileys milkshakes. All soft drinks. Good selection of cocktails. The room is cleaned twice a day. Sheets changed every other day and aircon. Hair dryer in room and English 3 prong plug. Bring a small mirror and adapter if you want to move hairdryer anywhere but bathroom. That has a 2 pin plug on it. . No need to bring shampoo conditioner or shower gel. They type they use here is lush and also spa quality. Beautiful, stunning weather ,stunning surroundings , food beyond compare . Vegan ,vegetarian Gluten free all carefully separated. The restaurant was out of this world and so many food choices. I won’t waffle on I’ll post pics to show u. Always beautifully hot. The fact 50% of the guests are returners says it all. The ocean is crystal clear with all sorts of beautiful and exotic creatures and fish. Out favourites are stingray and dolphins. Most people bring their own snorkelling gear rather than rent. But I also loved the sit on Kayaks included for 1 hour each day. As others said the restaurant every 5 days was amazing dining out under a Banyan tree under the stars by the sea. They spray often to keep biting insects to a minimum. There was some entertainment every night we went to a few but mostly wanted to chill in the evenings. There was also a great list of events sent by what’s app. The beach BBQ wasn’t included for first time guests but looked amazing. And there was a web cam by thr pool. Nice to wave to those at home. Or nice for people to monitor weather before they come. I feel sad writing this review as on 1 st June we will be 2 of thr last eight guests leaving the island as they close till Nov 24 for refurbishment. We are reviewing what it’s like now. I believe the changes will involve water bungalows with private pools and a champagne restaurant where the Arthri bar is now. I hope this doesn’t mean it’s beyond our price range but cost increases are inevitable. This was and always will be a very upmarket , relaxed once in a lifetime type of holiday. Having said that I’d love to come back. I feel honoured to stay here and have loved every second. Bravo to all the staff. Read Less
