Radisson Blu Resort Maldives was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and were instantly immersed in paradise. A huge shoutout to our incredible island host, Joyce, who truly went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. Joyce was attentive, kind, and always available to assist with anything we needed, making us feel like VIPs throughout our stay.
The entire team at Radisson Blu was fantastic – every staff member was friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about our experience. The variety of activities available kept every day exciting, from snorkeling and water sports to unique island tours and wellness sessions. The resort itself is breathtaking, with stunning views, beautiful facilities, and pristine beaches.
If you’re looking for a luxurious, relaxing, and memorable vacation where the staff treats you like family, I can’t recommend Radisson Blu Resort Maldives enough. Thank you, Joyce, and the entire team, for an amazing stay – we can’t wait to return with our KIDS!!!! Only thing more nicer non alcoholic options mocktails would be nice.

We spent our honeymoon at Radisson Blu Maldives and had an amazing time! Totally worth it! We booked 8 nights at the sunrise water villa with pool and full board as the meal plan.
Villa
The villa was very spacious and relaxing, decorated with some honeymoon surprises. We used the pool a lot and went swimming/snorkeling right from there, where we saw some fish. The bed was super comfortable and we’re usually very picky to say so.
Food
The food was amazing at Eats and Beats, Crusoes and Raha. With full board we had a breakfast buffet and for lunch/dinner a three course meal a la carte. Water was included during the meals and at the villa we had water, tea and coffee available all the time. Cocktails are expensive though. So if you like to drink 3 or more cocktails and/or a lot of soft drinks it might be worth booking all inclusive. But Eats and Beats has happy hour (2 for 1) every day from 17:00-18:00 (during sunset time) which we used to get the drinks a little cheaper.
Activities
We did the sunset fishing and whale shark tour. My husband also did some dives. Everything was great and a lot of fun. We were even lucky enough to see a whale shark (otherwise it would have been very expensive for a ordinary snorkeling tour). Overall the activities are on the more expensive side but you can rent free snorkeling gear, kayaks and paddle boards.
Service
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Our host Ziyazan was here for us when we needed help or had a question. Also you can call buggys to bring your around the hotel if you don’t want to walk.
Also our flight landed at 05:00 in Malé but we were able to spend our time until 08:30 in the lounge where we had food and drinks available and comfortable couches.
We had a fantastic honeymoon! Thank you Radisson Blu Maldives❤️

Disappointing
Nov 8, 2024767shauni
Great, large rooms. But the food is awful. Avoid the all-inclusive option. It's a complete waste of money.
The wildlife at this resort is pretty limited. And the excursions to see dolphins, Manta rays and other sea life are a waste of time and money. You'll probably end up seeing nothing.
Excellent from start to finish
