We visited Ozen right after our marriage in New Delhi, in seek of much needed peace and calm and this is exactly what we got in heaps and bounds. From booking till our departure at Ozen,in the Maldives the stay was par excellence. Upon landing in Male we were greeted by their team and taken to a nice lounge where they offered us coffee and a snack and prepared us for the most scenic luxury speed boat ride to their property roughly 40 minutes away. At the property we were greeted by our personal butler Ayushman. He was instrumental in taking our stay to the next level. He was attentive to our needs and made us a phenomenal itinerary which ensured that we maximized what the island resort had to offer and to relax and do activities such as snorkeling sunset dolphin cruises. He is simply the best. Ask for him 😉 The food - what can I say . The chefs have magic in their hands . Whatever cuisine we wanted we got. Chefs Alok and Ramesh personally curated mouth watering dishes for us including gol guppe which we we were craving. 😗 The wait staff is phenomenal - they are friendly and so courteous . Shout out to shrijana, Moothman, mushfig and hakim . They arranged a personalized beach side honey moon dinner for us which was magical. The meals were perfectly coursed out and the cocktails were fantastic. They hosted a Halloween gala which was fun with a live band and spooky themed menu. They have an underwater restaurant M6M which is an architectural delight. In addition to dining 20 feet below sea level in a Cosy chamber which sharks floating around, the food was amazing. This was truly one of my best experiences , all our senses came alive dining here. Ask for Erini to host you - she will have your back ! The resort has plenty of activities such as snorkeling diving with sharks kayaking sunset cruises. We stayed at the water wind villa which itself was gorgeous and had access to the ocean where we Swam endlessly at sunrise and sun set on crystal clear water. It room is the very definition of luxury. I am not one to leave long reviews but whatever I write is less ! Salud to the managers Gautam and Elisabeth who made sure everything was personalized and tended to ! 🥂 I highly recommend visiting here - it is indulgence personified !! Read less

It was a wonderful experience. It was my first time visiting a Maldives resort, and I have no regrets about my choice. The food in the various restaurants was delicious, and the excursions were also varied. The staff were all friendly, especially the butler Blue, who was very friendly. It was an unforgettable honeymoon.
