Resorts in Gaafu Alifu Atoll

There is not much to dislike however I chose this particular place because I know it was on a large atoll which allowed bike rides across the atoll, walks and runs ect. The staff in the dhigura dining room, particularly Hafiz, Warul and Micah were outstanding. Hafiz actually organized some very spicy dishes for me when he found out that I loved Sri Lankan food

Everything, last days there me and my wife were thinking about this place and we agreed that this hotel and its stuff - just amazing! We’ve spend the week and had NO negative experience at all. It’s our second time on Maldives, and we travel a lot around the world, and stayed in many hotels (from cheap to most expensive) - but rarely we can give someone 10 out of 10, but this one deserve it. The stuff is very friendly and entertaining, making your stay even better.

We can’t speak highly enough of this resort and its staff. Beautifully located with a large house reef teeming with life; you’re likely to see any and everything by just snorkelling the reef that’s at the bottom of the ladder, or beach from your villa. The villas are comfortable, spacious and well laid out, and all the resort facilities are nearby and easy to access. The food at the main restaurant is exceptional with a lot of variety at each meal. But, if you want a change, the Vista Italian restaurant adds another dimension. There are lots of arranged trips and activities if you want to join them, and everything we booked was a great adventure that brought us close to dolphins, turtles, rays, sharks and much more. All this said, the thing that makes this place so particularly special are the fantastic staff. Whether it’s the room valet with their beautiful towel and bed art. The pool bar staff with their talent and constant cheeriness. The restaurant guys with their welcome and unobtrusive attentiveness. The dive centre guys with their local knowledge and enthusiasm, the spa staff with their relaxing manner, and all the guys who keep the place running in the background. Everyone works hard, efficiently and always with a smile on their face. Thanks Kooddoo ❤️

The food was superb a lot of thought went into ensuring that different food was available throughout our time at the resort. I particularly liked the evening where staff from each country represented at the resort produced a meal from their country. The staff at the resort were very inclusive, it made you feel like one big family.

This island is one of the most beautiful places we've even been to. The marine life outside the villas is just stunning - make sure to explore the reef further on! Sharks, turtles and ray sightings were a daily occurence. We also got to see the dolphins up close several times which was such a treat! The staff was incredibly nice and attentive and the food was amazing everywhere we went. We loved the french Falhumaa restaurant the best. We went in July and were fortunate to only have one rainy day during our week-long stay. During the off-season, we felt like we had the resort to ourselves and would absolutely go again. Can't recommend enough!
