The hotel

This tropical paradise is a haven of tranquillity with beautiful, white sandy beaches and a wealth of amenities - the perfect ingredients for idyllic island living. As you would expect, there are water sports in abundance, as well as plenty of land sports, including tennis and volleyball. Beach and overwater villas are furnished with contemporary touches and come well-equipped with the latest amenities, and private pools with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. If you feel in need of pampering — after all, you are on holiday — head for the hotel’s spa, set across a bridge on Crusoe’s Island. Indulge in the latest massage and beauty treatments, feeling refreshed and ready to face the world again. With so many activities on offer, you’re sure to build up an appetite, but with a choice of excellent restaurants to tempt you, there’s no worries on that front! Get your day off to a great start at Raha, serving a hearty breakfast buffet with a slice of paradise views. There’s also light bites and signature serves at Eats & Beats and the freshest of seafood at Alifaan.

My wife and I stayed at Radisson Blu for our honeymoon, and we had a great time during our stay. The staff were friendly, our arrival including seaplane arrangement were all well managed. We stayed at the sunrise villa, and the ocean view was unobstructed and beautiful. The resort even had set up some honeymoon surprise for us for our stay. The resort offered many different events. We went to both the Manta and Whale Shark snorkeling, and the experience was truly amazing. Special thanks to the crew at the dive center, including Coach Bilal, Captain Umair and crew Aiham. They were super friendly, professional and took good care of us during our snorkeling events. This was our first time snorkeling, and we were impressed how beautiful the ocean is. Overall the stay at Radisson Blu was great. We for sure will come back and stay at the resort again in the near future. Read less
