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.

This place made our honeymoon absolutely perfect. The start with the seaplane is beautiful. The staff is extremely friendly and make you feel like a prince/princess. The overwater villa is insane. So much space inside and enough space on the deck. Feels like home immediately. There a enough options for lunch/diner. Everything tasted good. The staff at the restaurants are also very friendly. They help you with everything en give you the right things. Big thanks to Maty and Muby. My advise is to book a classic all inclusive. Then you don’t have unexpected costs. The food a la cart is very expensive otherwise. My only tip for the resort is to buy more small buggy’s. The buggy’s can not pick you up if you stay in the wing. We had the last villa in the wing and during the day it was to hot to walk for 10 minutes to the restaurant. Overal, perfect stay and we will come back! Read less

We were group of friends landed here for our holidays and had great time. Hospitality and friendly welcoming crew like Soban, Vineet, Melvin made us feel right at home during our stay. We enjoyed the most delicious food and drinks each day be it in restaurants or at the pools. We stayed at overwater pool Villa. Villa is pretty spacious along with bathtub and good size private pool overlooking the sea. You also have direct access to ocean from your villa itself. Plus you can enjoy sunset or sunrise and moonlight from the Villa. This paradise on natural island with clean beaches, crystal clear water are top notch destination for holiday. I will highly recommend this resort to everyone who wishes for relaxation or family holiday or romantic vibes. Read less
