The service is amazing! Plus the rockstar watervilla is absolutely stunning. The resort is also super kid/friendly and there are so many activities catered to children. The easy connection to the Marina is also a huge bonus where we got to enjoy several restaurants. Our private butler Ibrahim made our stay all the more comfortable and relaxing.

Very attentive staff, especially Zahid who was with us throughout our stay.
Very clean facilities, including kids club.

You can go to the resort via the speedboat which I consider an advantage.

Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

This was our second time at Ozen in 4 months. First time ... couldn't fault it. This time ... not so positive, we had to move rooms. As the first night we were disturbed all night by noisy neighbours with unruly kids and blaring music and shouting. We had the 2 bedroom beach villa 508 as requested same as time before but this time it was not as great. Second night other side were noisy also so we moved the next day. It
Seemed a big group of Russians took over and it was very rowdy,
The second room was dusty and smelt damp. Esp the second bedroom where our little boy slept. We had issues with the A.C and again noise. This time the bottle area where the laundry team use to put old bottles and bedding etc we could hear bottles being thrown all evening until turndown had been completed. All in all we had paid $18k dollars for accommodation only. And we're not as impressed as last time. Would be hesitant to return. Will try elsewhere next time. Our butler however was as amazing as always as were the staff, just let down by guests and also room issues.

Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male...
So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters.
Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs.
But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years.
Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful.
Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻♂️
The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot.
Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive.
Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

Our villa over the sea was amazing. A few steps down into crystal clear torquoise sea water. Snorkelling, even around the villas withy water depth of around 1m was exceptional. It is exactly as imagined and seen in videos of Maldives over the years. Paradise. Staff were fabulous and the entire resort fabulous. Restaurants and food could not be better either. Our "host" Ibrahim, was so helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and on call, 24/7 if needed. We will be back and we will ask for Ibrahim again.
Staff was always helpful, friendly and very polite. Our butler was amazing. We were welcomed at the airport immediately. When we arrived at the hotel, our butler had organized everything for us already. All of our dinners and activities were pre-booked. When we needed to change something, we just whatsapped our butler and he took care of it. The room was cleaned twice a day, our coffee machine broke and they changed the machine within 1 hour. 10/10 for the service and hospitality!
The staff was very friendly and welcoming they made an amazing set up dinner so romantic they create an unforgettable experience that night and the housekeeping almost 24 hours they did a really good job and one more thing the spa was amazing.
Overall, the place I believe is different from other places because of the Hard Rock Hotel and the marina the give you more options for dinners or parties.
well , everything was on point . staff are amazing ( Reda , Ajay and Agra ) they were so nice and helpful and very very professional. food was amazing in everything single detail . I have been around in many resorts . but honestly they are different. they are exactly the meaning of how to be professional and friendly in the same time . Thank you guys . you made our vacation
Velassaru is located near the main island where you land. Staff is extremely kind and accommodating. Service is great. We stayed in an overwater bungalow with pool and our room was spacious, the pool was amazing. At night you have the greatest privacy in using the pool and deck. Weather is amazing in Maldives at this time. We got a photo shoot and it's worth the money.
This hotel is great for family. Spacious island with lots of things to do and many restaurants. The location is perfect, only 20 mins by boat from Male Airport. The food is really good. Everything we tried at any restaurant was delicious. The staff are amazing, very friendly, initiative and kind. I highly recommend this hotel.
Water bungalow was very comfortable, beautiful ocean view. enjoy sunrise and sundown from the balcony.
staff super friendly and helpful. good food. nice complimentary breakfast in the room. ocean view from the bathroom.
hotel staff went out of their way making a super fun new year’s eve party. everything very neat and clean.
Everything in Ozen Life was amazing epically the staff. try to look for Soodan who was cleaning our room and never make us asking for anything. Also, in the restaurant we met Saathiu who provide us with wonderful service everyday in the restaurant. I highly recommend to choose Ozen Life without even think of other resorts.
The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
A really 5 star hotel. everything was fantastic, so friendly staff. especially Ms Aminah Fazla. room were cleaned , and well decorated. especially when we arrived. a verity of food in the restaurant ( all you can eat ) and different Menu. you can see so many and beautiful fish swimming around.
Our stay was simply superb! We travelled as a family of 6 and the hotel catered for all ages. Special shout out to Tammy, Nina, Sam & Raai (Roxity kids club), Rao (Pool bar) and tje amazing Carlton who made us feel so welcome everyday. The children are trying to persuade us to return already!
It was the best hotel experience in my life.
The staff and the attention is a 10 ( a one dedicated person for you the 24 hours). You will be feel like a King.
The Japanese restaurant is amazing
The general restaurant is very good gourmet food.
Very well organised pick up and transfers. Nice room and convenient hotel structure. Amazing colours of the see and many options for swimming. The hotel employees very polite and assisting. Green areas with preserved local vegetation.
One of the best trips I've ever taken with my family. The place is amazing and super organized. The transfer between the airport and the hotel was punctual and fast. Highly recommended.
