Spread across three stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of 22 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

Traveled as a family for the first time in August 2024. We did a lot of research and chose this resort because of the room layout and that it's family friendly. Check in was smooth, thank you for dealing with our queries and helping to resolve a few matters we had regarding our package. It's useful to know we had booked the all inclusive dine around much in advance. There is since a new premium inclusive which is the higher tier package. We stayed in a grand beach suite with pool which was stunning, so spacious for us as a family of 4. The children had their own single beds in a seperate area but still within the same room. We mostly dined in sunset restaurant on main island as it was closest and food was really good. I've read a few reviews about lack of variety however we didn't find there to be an issue. There was a daily pasta station, fried foods such as chips wedges etc. European stews, indian food station as a well as grill station. Desert was very basic but lots of fresh fruit to choose from A massive thank you to gokul, suraj , rohita, babul , and suraj who were so warm and welcoming always remembering our favourite drinks and juices for the children, nothing was too much for them. Also Emran at the fruit station always picked out the very best for my little girls and remembered their favourites. Although we had access to the a la carte restaurants we only tried siyam orchid Thai where we had the most flavoursome Thai food. Thank you so, much to Akash , karina , Shifau, farra, sharaf khaled, gayan , sang as well as chef Ayaz for your amazing hospitality and a wonderful dinner treat. Kids club was fantastic nice clean space lots of activities for the children, seperate pool within the kids club. We had the most magical time and it definitely exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately the weather was not great while we were there so didn't et to do any excursions or much water activity however we are already planning our return so hopefully next time! Thank you sun siyam Olhuveli. Read less
