Not only do you have the beautiful ocean views (with dolphins swimming past your villa at least once a day when we were there) but the island has many other things to do and explore, either on foot or bike. If you are a spa person, the spa treatments are wonderful. The only...

My husband and I spent our 5-day honeymoon at the resort and it was just fantastic! We were taken care of the moment we got off our seaplane by our fantastic butler Riyaz, who was always a moment away from anything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and catered to our every needs; we were also grateful to our fellow countrymen Alam and Anamul who gave us tips around the island and even took my husband snorkeling. The resort consists of beach, water and ocean villas, most of which come...

My husband and I just got back from five amazing days. The resort is just beautiful. You have to see it to believe it. I am going to keep this review somewhat short and simple because I can go on and on about the resort. The resort is very well kept and the villas are unbelievable. We were lucky to have stayed in both villa types - overwater and beach. The service and food was excellent. From the dining experience, the ambiance and the way things are setup is just picture perfect. The underwater...

Amazing experience at the Westin. From the natural beauty of the island to the excellent service and food we had this one of the best vacations we’ve had to date. All 3 restaurants were superb. Chef Min even made us tandoori chicken and biryani via special order that was amazing. We also did a sea turtle/manta snorkel trip that was unforgettable. Thanks to all the staff with special thanks to Laurent, Youssef, Chef Min and Jinaan.

I loved my stay at Kiha Beach Hotel. The hotel and beach were actually a lot nicer than I expected. I highly recommend this hotel. I will also put a video of the hotel on youtube so everyone can get a sense of how nice this hotel is from a guest's point of view. It really is the best hotel on Dharavandhoo. It is the only hotel that is on the Bikini Beach that has an extremely nice beach with soft sand which is ideal for enjoying the weather and water. There are other hotels that say they are...

Truly the best hotel in Maldives. It was the first hotel I've been in Maldives and after that I've seen another 5 hotels: Cheval Blanc, Jumeirah, One&Only, Conrad and etc. It is my second time in Soneva Fushi and I need to say that this hotel is the best on every aspect. World-class SPA, beautiful snorkelling all around the island, huge territory, very private villas, extremely satisfied and professional staff and much more. You can find a lot of components on the other islands in Maldives, but...

We had our honeymoon at the Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa and it was a dream come true. Absolutely no complaints from our end. We purchased the all-inclusive package and it was truly all-inclusive. We had excellent 5 star meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all the snacks and drinks you can imagine. During our stay, I had a pretty bad cough and ended up going to the onsite clinic and was not charged a dime for the doctors appointment or the medicine. Other then the all inclusive package,...

That was an amazing honeymoon and we think that everyone should see this island and Adaaran Prestige Hotel. The staff were very helpful, food which is very important was fantastic, rooms were clean and we felt "private" during our whole holiday. Also the sea, the atoll, the beach as well as the nature of the island was amazing! Our villa (room...
