Located in South Male Atoll, Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi covers 3.5 km length of greenery and beaches spanning across 3 islands encircling a lagoon. This luxury hotel offers 11 unique dining venues including Chinese, Middle Eastern and a signature tree top restaurant.

I like all the things in Waldorf, no matter the facilities, snorkeling environment, dining services, etc.

Guests at SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton have a large variety of in-house dining options including Mediterranean seafood and Thai - inspired restaurants, and a café, while The Beach Club and Hard Rock Café are just steps from the resort. Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast every morning.

We”ve just got back from a dreamy holiday there. I”ve read a lot of reviews beforehand and I was right to choose this resort: it was great. Staff:superfriendly and helpull. Buggy service a big plus during hot days when you have a child with you. There is a hotell app that you can use for everything:) Room: beach room, exactly like in photos, directly on the beach, perfect💖(our child had an extra 1 pers bed which was great) Breakfast: delicious, plenty options to choose from Other meals: we had only breakfast paid in advance and eat at the restaurants rest of the time. There are plenty, be advised to check the menu online beforehand as we did, it saves some time:) no matter the restaurant.. the food is very tasty. You can use the facilities from the Hard Rock also, the pool there is more vibrant as music can be heard all day long( not too loud) At Saii is a more relaxing feeling so it”s really good that you have both options in one place. I would strongly recommend this resort to everyone that visits Maldive.Hope to be back someday!

The property is beautiful. It was clean, and the staff were very nice and friendly. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our stay. We stayed in the overwater villa with a pool, and it was like paradise. It provided great value for our money. From the airport and boat staff to the reception staff, restaurant staff, room service team and other staff around the accommodation cleaning etc everyone was nice and friendly.The floating breakfast was perfect and the buffet breakfast was great .

5-star exclusivity awaits at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, with luxurious villas and a large infinity pool with clear lagoon views. It features 2 restaurants, a bar and a fitness centre. Free WiFi access is available in all rooms. Staff are able to converse in Chinese.

There is not much I can say but overall it was amazing! Everything about Taj Exotic Resort in Maldives speaks luxury; from the over-water villas with white sandy beaches, stunning sunsets and delicious cuisine, to attentive staff members who make you feel like royalty every minute of your visit. I also want to mention that one of my best experiences here has been snorkeling near a shipwreck and feeding stingrays. Imagine that! The rooms of the resorts are of a good size and they were always kept clean, with fresh towels and linen available daily. Our villa was on stilts and we had our own small deck where we could enjoy the beautiful views of the Indian Ocean, while having breakfast or just relaxing in one of our comfortable sunbeds. Indeed, I felt like a king on my holidays here at Taj Exotic resort. If you're going to visit this exotic paradise island, don't forget your mask and snorkel because their house reef is full of colourful fish waiting for their close encounter with human beings. If you want to experience the Maldivian culture and take pictures with their friendly inhabitants. The staff members at Taj Exotic were very polite and attentive towards us. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and they tried their best in every situation. Also, Semo is one of those guys who makes your holiday truly first-class. We miss him already - he's such a nice and funny guy! Also, there is not much more that can be said about the food at Taj Exotic Resort because their chefs make it seem like a piece of heaven! Delicious crepes, curry, and butter chicken you could literally eat every day and juices that taste like they were freshly squeezed from an actual fruit. We had a lovely meals at the "24 degrees" restaurant. This place is perfect for a honeymoon destination, so if you're going to visit here don't forget to take your significant other along because you won't regret this choice!

Our 67 luxurious bungalows combine dazzling views with modern amenities for a blissful stay. Choose from rooms types poised over the water with sweeping lagoon views or set on the tranquil cliff edge with the lapping ocean soothing you to sleep.

From the moment we got off the boat transfer we were made to feel special, our host Jenny looked after us straight away. Jenny took us for a guided tour of the island, explained to us about the restaurants and any special events happening that week, if we needed to book any other restaurants we just had to text her, and she sorted it out. We were staying in a deluxe over water villa, the room was fantastic, very well equipped, and well laid out. The villa has direct access to the sea as well as very comfortable sun beds and a day bed. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi in the rooms is very poor to the point of non-existent, I would expect better in a hotel of this standard. The quality and variety of food in the restaurants was amazing, we especially liked Baan Huraa and Cumin. There was an excellent variety of food available for breakfast, we loved the fresh fruit and pastry we were given while we waited to choose our breakfast. We booked the beach BBQ for one night, although this isn’t covered by the food package it was well worth the money. The food was amazing, the location, atmosphere and music made it one of our best nights of the holiday. We also loved Dhoni bar, we had lunch there most days, we were always served by Faz, who deserves a special mention. She always greeted us with a smile, a cold drink and cold towel. The bar man Champika also deserves a special mention, he would always have drink on the bar for us. If there wasn’t a cocktail on the menu my wife liked Champika would look it up and make it for her. We took out the drinks package for the 7 days we were there, I would strongly recommend taking this option for peace of mind. The beach was really well kept, the sunbeds were well spaced apart, each sunbed had a button for you to order drinks on the beach. The whole holiday experience was magical, and we will certainly be returning as soon as we can.

Guests can head to the over water spa for a day of wellness and pampering or enjoy activities such as scuba diving, surfing and deep sea fishing. Take a short pontoon ride to the island of Gulifushi, picnic on the deserted beaches and experience some of the best snorkeling in the Maldives.

the best part about the property is the huge lagoon and shallow blue waters and sand banks

Facing the beachfront, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers 4-star accommodation in South Male Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a bar and a tennis court. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property.

We had a great stay at Sun Siyam! We were treated like esteemed guests and were provided customized attention! Special mention to guest services manager Sajje, who went out of the way to take care of us. We are vegetarians, so Sajje made sure he personally came with us almost every meal to talk to the chef and provide us with delicious veg options. We will definitely come back to Sun Siyam again! Thank you for the memories!
