Ozen Reserve Bolifushi

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

It’s hard to return to everyday life after a stay at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI: the very definition of luxury. Whatever villa you choose, it's entirely secluded, but still gives direct access to the beach or lagoon, putting you just a swim from one of South Malé Atoll’s healthiest house reefs and five shipwrecks. At your villa, every luxury awaits: an oversized L-shaped pool (you can swim from your bathroom, around your villa, to your terrace), semi-open rain showers, interactive TVs, even adjustable mood lighting. In fact, it will be impossible to holiday anywhere else after you’ve lazed on the daybeds enjoying cocktails at Ozar, dined with your feet in the sand at Sangu, woken early for yoga in the spa garden and sunk into the massage table in an overwater treatment room.

Overall, it offers a wonderful experience that truly deserves five stars, both in terms of the staff’s attentiveness and the facilities provided by the resort. There are very few aspects I could criticize. Some areas could benefit from minor maintenance and renovations. It would also be nice if the glass-bottomed canoe was included in the all-inclusive package, and if it could be taken to areas where a true underwater experience is visible. Aside from such small details, it provides an excellent holiday experience. Read less

Exceptional resort, exceeded our expectations 1000%. Best staff ever. Very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Managers, chefs , and all the staff take the time to talk to you and make sure everything meets your expectations. All the food and drinks from all the restaurants are fantastic and full of flavor. Over the water villa is very spacious ,beautiful, clean, comfortable beds, pillows and amenities left for you to use are very thoughtful. The slide is so much fun and the view of the turquoise, clear water and temperature are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You get your own bikes to ride around the island and explore. On our last day we got a bartending class give from the best. Shout out to Khai and Nisan from Sangu Bar who went above and beyond to give us a bartending class. They were very patient in telling us what to do step by step. This will be a memory that will never be forgotten but told to everyone. Khai and Nisan are very kind men and it was nice to learn a little about them. The experience they have making drinks is amazing. Every drink was full of flavor and special touch. Special thanks to our butler Salman. He was there to assist with everything that was needed from the moment we stepped off the boat. He showed us around the island and took the time to make our very own restaurant itinerary. Salman also surprised us with a special dinner table and cake for our anniversary. We had a late flight to catch and Salman was able to provide us with a late checkout. We were extremely grateful for that. November was a great time to visit Ozen Reserve because it’s not extremely busy and a bit more quiet. We will miss this beautiful island and all the staff. Come visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Ozen Bolifushi has been my BEST Beach / Island holiday ever!! All the reviews are mentioned how impeccable they are in terms of service by the entire team, and i vouch every word by all, is TRUE!! Our butler Salim helped make everything we requested for available before time. He appeared like from the Alladin’s lamp as soon as you asked him anything! Thanks Salim for the care you took of us, Chef Sandeep & Akhilesh cooked up vegetarian Indian dishes upon request with perfection. Ijiaz, Akash, Gajju took care of our Indian pallets. It was Diwali celebrations at the Indian restaurant whilst we were there and the Chef had curated an insane Veg Thali and Chaats counter, which didnt let us miss the Diwali back home. Can’t forget the Rasmalai & Gucchi pulao .. THANK YOU! A special mention for the Bengali live singer that night who made the ambience even more special, ( you were great !! ) Som at Sangu spoiled us at lunch, & Ami with all the Non-Alcoholic Mocktails and special juices at High tea & more Each restaurant has ample varieties of vegetarian food, entertainment & the sunsets are simply mesmerizing. It has so much to offer that a few days aren’t enough! The sealife is lovely and beautifully maintained, thus i enjoyed all the water sports and snorkeling every single day! GM Monica personally welcomes guests and is seen daily checking all guests are comfortable. Sorry for those i haven’t been able to mention, but i understand that it is a team of 300+ who owe it to the success of this property, but what touched me most is how Eco-friendly they are not to use plastics and are very careful not to litter around anywhere!! Its a beautiful little world of their own on this filthy planet if i may say. I returned more concious and will try to make the necessary changes back home. The warmth of their hospitality vibrates from the moment they receive you at the airport, right till they drop you back!! Feeling soo rejuvenated! Hope to visit you all soon🩷🤗 THANK YOU OZEN BOLIFUSHI TEAM FOR A MEMORABLE & BEAUTIFUL TIME WE HAD WITH YOU 🙏🏼🩷 Read less

Each restaurant we visited offered something unique, with different cuisines expertly prepared, and the cocktails at the bars were a delightful surprise. Special thanks to Khai at Sangu Bar—a fantastic bartender who crafts cocktails to your taste. We even got to learn one of his signature cocktail recipes! I’m already looking forward to going back to Bolifushi, even though I just left. Read less
