We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Amari Raaya. Everyone went above and beyond to provide the most superb service. Upon arrival, the representative Zaha already waited for us at the jetty while we were approaching. Her proactive approach truly made a positive impression by assisting us with seaplane transfer and even contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition on the way back. The entire team at Amari did everything to create a memorable stay for us, from Buggy service Nalaka who could remember our names to Housekeeping Saain who made the room twice a day as well as did an amazing job on the bed decoration for my parents anniversary; from All Day Dining restaurant Mr.Himanshu and Mr. Haleem and their team to Ampers&nd’s Egptian staff who showed outstanding hospitality and attentive care. The environment is extremely beautiful. We could even snorkel near our water villa. Food has a great variety especially a good combination of Asian cuisine and international gourmet food. We feel that the value received is on par with what we anticipated. Front Office Mr. Ali and his team’s dedication in ensuring our satisfaction is evident in each interaction, making us feel like valued guests and part of the community. Any enquiry is dealt with in a timely manner. I’d also love to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Mr Haleem, Mr. Himanshu, Julius, Adi from all day dining; Nalaka, Sajid, Thooif, and everyone from Buggy service for providing such convenient transportation which has made getting around so much easier under the sun; Amir, Kero from Ampers&nd Sunset Bar who are so genuinely kind and friendly; Our island host Achala who made reservations for us to ensure a hassle free vacation; and many other staff’s names we can’t recall. Our experience at Amari surpassed our expectations thanks to its exemplary cleanliness, upscale decoration, and most importantly, outstanding hospitality. It was really touching to see everyone came to the seaplane platform and said goodbye. We highly recommend guests seeking a luxurious with attention to detail to consider Amari Raaya.

6 time returnee to the Maldives, i personally think Joali has the best balance of what we look for as a family. It is luxurious, it is manicured, it has infrastructure, the service is extraordinary but it’s not in your face. Quiet luxury at its best. What Joali has that other resorts don’t is the immaculate and very accessible beach. The beach is extraordinary. It is large, the water is calm, transparent, 30 degreees. The sand is powder soft and without coral pieces! Check before booking about the coral because some resorts have a almost dangerous entrance into the sea. Other resorts have had to build rock walls in front of the OW villas, Joali hasn’t. The best villas are the sunset OW starting from 58 upwards. These face the sand bank which children can very easy swim to unaccompanied. The staff are divine, they don’t feel subservient but rather very happy to have you there and very happy to meet all your requests. Children are adored and kept very busy with a huge array of activities. But it doesn’t feel like a resort over run with kids. After visiting the likes of Soneva, i would say Joali kids program is better suited to smaller children maybe primary school ages and below. But this is an island where you can allow the children to roam free as there is a huge staff to guest ratio so they will always be watched. I especially loved how the staff would without being asked come and play and set up games with the kids. This was brilliant. Perhaps they could build a tree top area or a bigger kids adventure style set up. Not necessarily needed but just feedback. Food is good, the festive celebrations are triumphant. There is so much good quality food it’s almost overwhelming. Eat the local flavors, speak to the chef the local lobsters cooked Maldivian style are delicious! The villas are large spacious and most importantly they run horizontally across the lagoon. That way you are only meters from the ocean at all times. The one bed OW easily fits two children in the living room. Excellent on all counts, it’s my favourite “all rounder” resort. Compliments to management and the staff you are very kind hearted people.

It was an amazing vacation! More than a month has passed, but bright and warm memories still keep me warm. Check in was quick and with a big surprise! Instead of a beach villa I was offered a water villa. At first I doubted, but then I was very grateful for such a gift. If your goal is privacy, then a water villa is what you need. Main advantages: 1. You will really have privacy. 2. The sun terrace with their own private space to relax with direct access to the lagoon. Two steps and the whole water world is under your feet. 3. Free access to a la carte restaurants (Dinner in an Italian restaurant right on the sand by torchlight with prosecco and tiramisu. It's a delight!). And so it is possible to enumerate ad infinitum. The island is very beautiful and full of green and flowers. When you walk along the beach or along the paths, you get the feeling that you are in two parallel worlds. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and ready to help you with any questions. If you are relaxing alone, believe me, you will not be bored😊. If someone thinks that the Maldives is just a beach and snorkeling, then he or she is greatly mistaken. The recreation program is so varied that you can dance incendiary at the party, and watch the national Maldivian dances and spend a wonderful evening in the bar enjoying live music. And finally, my vacation would not have been so complete if I had not taken the risk of going to private yoga classes. This is worth it! For a person inexperienced with yoga and meditative practices, this was a revelation! In just a couple of classes, thanks to Aditi, you begin to feel your body and your mind is filled with calmness and clarity. I highly recommend individual classes to everyone, especially when they take place on the sea edge with a sunset view😊 Thanks to all management of the hotel for the high level of service and the feeling that the guest is the most important here!

My husband and I returned from our 8 day honeymoon at Ifuru and where to even begin - it was more magical than we ever expecting! We were greeted at Male airport by an Ifuru rep (unfortunately didn’t catch his name) who was very friendly and told us how our transfer would proceed. We had a domestic flight booked and had to wait around 3 hours but he took us and our suitcases over to the food court lounge across the road and came to collect us once it was time to check-in for our internal flight - which took around 40 mins with one stopover at another resort beforehand. On arrival, we were greeted by our Ifuru buddy, Ifaa, and our FRAM representative, Chiara, who were both great throughout our entire stay. We had a WhatsApp group with them both which we spoke on daily to organise any activities that we wanted to do and any items we wanted in the room. We’ve never stayed in a hotel which has this level of service to guests before and this really blew us away! As we were travelling for our honeymoon, Ifaa and Chiara ensured that we had all of our honeymoon package activities included and arranged the timing for our spa treatment. (To qualify for the honeymoon package you must be staying a minimum of 7 nights and have proof of your wedding certificate in the past 6 months). The main restaurant is the Social House where we ate every breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also ‘Waterfront’ and ‘Palm Grill’ but these restaurants weren’t included in our all inclusive package and we were satisfied with the options already at the Social House. In the whole 8 days, we never ate the same meal twice - there was such a variety of foods and themed evenings each night. All of the staff were attentive and friendly and often remembered our room number and drink orders. We were served often by Diva who always greeted us with a huge smile & was so friendly - thanks Diva for always making us laugh! In the day we mostly stayed near the pool and Hubba Bubba bar where we were served by Kuva who is incredible! Always remembered our drink orders, made suggestions on drinks he knew we would like and always had a joke up his sleeve for us. After dinner, we always headed back to Hubba Bubba where we would sit at the bar and would be served directly by 2 of the friendliest barman- Rudy & Yuda! What an asset these two are to Ifuru. Every night we were given a surprise cocktail, again based on what they knew we liked. They worked so incredibly hard each night whilst always smiling! A note for management - please supply a fan for the bar staff! It often gets hot near the bar area as the fans don’t reach this area and the bar staff deserve to have some cooling air on them whilst working hard 😊 We really enjoyed the wellness and spa options available at Ifuru. In our 8 days we managed to fit in - 3 yoga sessions, 2 gym sessions, 3 massages, 1 ice bath, 1 sound healing and 1 reiki healing. The staff running the spa & general wellness were exceptional. All extremely friendly

The trip and stay in Reethi Faru will remain unforgettable in our memories. There was nothing to complain about. We only booked breakfast, which turned out to be right for us. So we were able to eat in one of the restaurants on the island every evening. With full board or all inclusive, dinner would only have been possible in the main restaurant (buffet), or in one of the other restaurants only for an additional charge. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned properly. Coffee, tea and water are refilled daily in the room free of charge. Room service twice a day, which we didn't use because we put ”do not disturb” on the door after the morning cleaning. The staff are without exception courteous and helpful. We also spent a lot of time in the diving center (we got certified). The management of the diving center is under Swiss management and it is precisely this Swiss quality of reliability that is demonstrated.

The hotel is especially praised. There is a Chinese hotel waiter, Miss Sister, so it is very convenient. When booking, I have a honeymoon, so the hotel room is also ready for a honeymoon gift. Hahaha is very intimate. Come and return with the hotel manager’s deliberate Welcome, the ceremony is full, the inner flight and the speedboat are also very convenient, it is completely worthy of this price.

We stayed for 10 nights in a Beach Villa. The food was very good in all the restaurants with imaginative and creative dishes with plenty of change between the theme nights. We used all the restaurants and service was always friendly and efficient. We especially enjoyed Cafe Maas for a lighter lunch or evening meal where the table service was always great. One small suggestion would be add a decaffeinated coffee option both in the rooms and restaurants, something we missed. The grounds are really well kept and a pleasure to walk around, it is a shame so many sand bags are having to be deployed (particularly on the south side) to stem erosion around the beaches but fully understand why this is having to be done, but they did not detract from walks around the island. The snorkelling was superb particularly from the north jetty with a great range of fish and corals. Entertainment was available at Cafe Maas and the main bar and lounge, a little more advertising of events would have helped to know what was on. The staff made a real effort on valentines night to make it feel a special event for everyone. Overall a really good holiday enhanced by the great food and friendly staff.

My wife and I had 1000’s of choices of where to celebrate my 60th milestone birthday. We chose to return to Heritance Aarah after visiting for the first time in October 2023! Why, one may ask? For us it was simple… The entire staff. We had our same Butler Preetham, which we think is the “Butler Of The Year” in our book. He looked after us like we were his only guests and he had several under his care. Chef Jayalal took very special care of us with his “Super Chef” talents. Always with a smile. He is just one of the many super talented, international award winning chefs on the team lead by Executive Chef Silva. It was great to see and interact with all members of the culinary team… new additions and those we met before. Every meal was delicious. We especially enjoyed seeing Dinu, Toddy, Alsan and Tharaka again. They remembered us and we never forgot them. They are etched into our memories forever. We met a few new members of the team that we will also remember for many years to come… Sheriff, Nalaka, Afrah, Damit, Chameera and many more. Special thank you to the new Restuarant Managers that ensured we had a great culinary experience! There is a whole world to see & experience… But I think we will be back! Until next time… PEACE✌🏾
