SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection By Hilton, hotel in South Male Atoll

Located within Emboodhoo Lagoon, SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton is only a 15-minute speedboat ride away from the airport.

I can confidently say that my time here was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived until the time I reluctantly departed, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. The breakfast spread at SAii Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary. There were countless options to choose from, catering to every palate and dietary preference. The freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits, made-to-order omelettes and crepes, and the fresh guava juice were just a few highlights of the mouthwatering breakfast buffet. The attentive and friendly staff made sure that every guest had a delightful start to their day, leaving no room for disappointment. The location of the resort is a true slice of paradise. Nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, SAii Lagoon offers breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. The pristine white sandy beaches and the vibrant coral reefs right at your doorstep make it a haven for nature enthusiasts and beach lovers. Whether you choose to relax on the beach or explore the underwater world, you'll find yourself immersed in pure serenity and beauty. Being a mere 15-minute boat ride away from the airport was a major plus. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me when choosing accommodation, and SAii Lagoon Maldives excelled in this aspect. The entire resort was immaculately maintained, from the rooms to the public areas. The housekeeping staff took great pride in their work, ensuring that every corner was spotless and every detail was attended to. This commitment to cleanliness truly elevated the overall experience, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my stay. Having said all of that, I will just add that the staff at SAii Lagoon Maldives were the true stars of the resort. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the personalized service throughout my stay, every staff member went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest.

    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!

    The experience was amazing. All the people working there are friendly and ready to help anytime. A long list of activities can be done there and great choice of restaurants there. We stayed at silver beach studio and then platinum overwater villa with pool. The changing of rooms was easy. At the final day it was my birthday and the hotel sent a birthday cake to my room which surprised me and meant a lot. Check-in and check-out is flexible, we extended our checkout until 18:45 and took advantage of our final day.

    Water villa was very nice, someone available to clean morning and evening which is helpful when you have kids, saii app was very good and reception responsive and buggy arrived within 10 minutes of requesting. Food was decent and could use facilities at hard rock hotel too although sai lagoon facilities were nicer. In addition, kids club had a variety of activities and had to book in advance. Hannan at reception was very helpful and transfer to the resort was quick and someone at airport to collect and transfer

    Location is great, 25 mins from airport by speed boat which makes it less hassle from taking a sea plane. Facilities are good, and the Water Villa with pool is superb ( Although we didn't have the chance to swim at the lagoon due to the windy weather). Leena from the check in staff was very helpful. My wife had a small emergency and the nurse Anil in the clinic was very supportive. All in all, it is a great resort

    All the Hotel staff are very cooperative and polite, they will try to provide whatever request if possible. The food is ok and with variety of options to choose. The property itself is like paradise that you want to stay forever. I would like to thank specifically Joseph in lagoon bar, Brian in Island Pizza, Paulo in the Sunrise bar and Pollie in the Spa for being so helpful and accommodating.

    I checked so many hotels before going to Maldives and most of them were quiet far and overpriced. Transfer from airport cost more than the actual price you pay for one night stay. But Adaaran Club Rannalhi was the only hotel I came across with reasonable price for transferring from airport to the hotel. Only cost me 160 dollars by ferry both ways.

    When we arrived to the hotel Saukaina welcomed us graciously. After giving all the information about the hotel, she accompanied us to our room and she arranged a wonderful birthday present for me. We loved Hard Rock Cafe and there JL was perfect that’s why we ate there 2 times:) We liked to listen the group Deviate they are professionals.

    We usually prefer to stay at Taj hotels, due to their hospitality and the quality of the food. Our stay at Taj Exotica was quite enjoyable. Various other activities like scuba diving, parasailing etc can be enjoyed by the guests. We went on a wonderful sunset cruise where we got to witness the oceanic beauty of Maldives.

    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.
