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.

Wow! Where do I even begin? This was the most amazing resort from start to finish. The service was the most amazing service we’ve ever had. It is definitely a 5* service and we couldn’t recommend the resort more. From start to finish when you arrive in Male, the staff take extremely good care of you and you can truly experience the ‘holiday feel’. Amazing staff carried and transferred our bags and made sure we were ready for the seaplane. The resort itself is out of this world. The staff are incredible and couldn’t help enough. I felt like a celebrity the whole week. The villas are incredible with the best views, comfiest beds and best facilities. Nothing was a problem to the staff. The food was better than any restaurant we’ve ever been to in any place of the world. I truly couldn’t reccomend this resort more. We will definitely be back. Read less
