Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Maldives

Great place to stay! I would recommend the private pool beach room, close to the sand bar. The staff were great - a special call out to the restaurant staff (Farivalu, Reef, Kobe and Inguru). Jharna, Samjanna and Ayaz were wonderful. Also Ailif for cleaning and those who were cleaning too. There are more names I am forgetting- thanks to you all for your hospitality.

I spent 7 nights for my honeymoon in this beautiful resort. Simply this is the most amazing experience i had in my life. The same expression came from my wife. I did book Thundi water villa with pool and my package was all inclusive basic. The Staff: Was very friendly and helpful. They are just seeking to have their guests happy, guide you, advise you with their knowledge and reacting very fast. Resort: Very beautiful location and nature, the villa was very neat, pool view was amazing and the sea was directly accessible from the villa. Service: Very good in terms of quality and quick reaction. Restaurants and Bars: Food was amazing and tasty with a wide variety of options on daily basis. Beverages at the bars as well. Different kinds of parties being held at the bars on daily basis with amazing views on the pools, beaches and between the trees.

This place is like a paradise! Wonderful island. The staff is very welcoming and very helpful and this includes just everyone there - from check in team, waiters, cleaning team, crew operating boats. Amazing sandy beaches, loads of facilities, pools. The food and drinks selection is very good. We have stayed in one of the water villa's with the pool and the experience is just incredible. Definitely coming back again.

We had an absolutely wonderful week at Kuramathi. This is a fabulous resort and island and being able to snorkel on the reef right from our “Over the Water Villa with Pool” was incredible. There are two people that we would like to especially mention as they helped make our stay as wonderful as it was. Sama is the head chef of the Farivalhu restaurant and due to our dietary restrictions, he personally showed us what was safe for us to eat for each meal. Not only did he make sure we ate safely but he made us special desserts for each lunch and dinner as we were unable to eat the deserts that were offered. The other person who we would like to thank is Yazdhann who cleaned our villa twice a day. He really did an excellent job and was friendly, polite and thoughtful. We highly recommend Kuramathi Island Resort.

We spent our honeymoon at Kuramathi Maldives and stayed in a Thundi Villa with Pool – it was absolutely perfect. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered incredible views. The person who took care of our room was always smiling and decorated it beautifully every day, which made us feel really special. The whole staff was extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming. Everyone made sure we had the best time and felt comfortable at all times. The island itself is breathtaking – truly a tropical paradise. The reef is stunning, and we had the chance to swim alongside colorful fish every day, which was an unforgettable experience. The speedboat transfer from the airport took about an hour and was smooth and enjoyable, with amazing views along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon destination. Highly recommended for couples looking for a romantic and luxurious escape!

The sunset villa with a private pool, good food, and the all-inclusive package. Eats and beats stood out as any excellent dining option with exceptional food, drinks, and staff. Excellent housekeeping services.

Everything was awesome 👌 above expectations Big rooms clean private pool Smiles all over staff Jaison the fitness guy was top 👌 Airport attendant was so patient till we checked in back home

The villas are very big and there is every comfort you need. The private pool is amazing and the entire resort is well Curated

Very private, spacious, high standard, plunge pool, direct access to beach.

The location was a perfect getaway for a relaxing holiday, we enjoyed the comforts of our beautiful sunset villa with private pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional specially the Executive Chef Brandi, Prasad and the culinary staff went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our food, specially our young daughter. Chamara and the f & b team also made us feel homely and took a good care throughout our stay. Thank you all so much !

Everything, what’s not to like! The service, the staff, the community was just absolute perfection for our honeymoon, our host Didi took amazing care of us from the moment we arrived till we left, the food was delicious, the waiter Shayaan made sure we’re always enjoying our meals, the room was always clean thanks to Sabuel who cleaned it twice a day, everything was beautiful, it was a dream honeymoon that came into reality. The resort itself was full of activities and very very enjoyable, we booked the water villa and it was a beautiful gateway with the private pool, totally recommended!

It was beautiful. obviously the views were amazing but the set up of the resort was very well done and our aqua villa with plunge pool was perfect. We went on several excursions seeing dolphins, turtles, whale sharks and manta rays. Very well organised boat trips and snorkelling trips with great guides. Spa treatments were in a beautiful setting and very well done. Great restaurants with helpful friendly staff. All in all, a fantastic holiday.

The staff were very welcoming, courteous and warm. The view from the lagoon villa was so serene that I spend two whole afternoons in the private pool while sipping wine. The food in "The Spice"(Thanks to chef Kushal for providing us with great culinary experience) and "Auqa" was great. Breakfast buffet had so many nice options. We also enjoyed the open sea diving experience after a proper 1:1 training session with most awesome diving instructor "Migey". Will definitely recommend folks to go for the diving excursion.

The beach villa with a private pool was amazing, the food was incredible, snorkelling was so nice (get your snorkelling gear with you), check in & out was so smooth with the transportation from the airport We were on our honeymoon and they made it cute & special Special thanks to Babhul (House keeper) & Shayan (from the restaurant) & the rest of the staff everyone was amazing

Our experience as honeymooners was great from the very beginning to the end. We were met at the airport, assisted to the seaplane which was a nice 40 min flight. The check in was very easy and swift. We took the beach room with private pool which was very comfortable, very clean and very private as you would like for honeymooners. The food was excellent in all 3 restaurants (quality and quantity) with lots of varieties in the main restaurant. the staff were always very friendly and very helpful. Special thanks to “Nourhan” for trying to make our requests come true and to “Kashem” for continuously taking care of our room. The house reef is very nice and full of marine life. The hotel was almost fully booked, but it is very well designed that privacy is maintained at all times. We will definitely consider for future romantic occasions.

White sandy beaches and clear water Sea life/coral in the area Great to explore gardens and beaches on island Resort kids club activities Teen center for pool /airhockey/PS Water activities (non motorised vs motorised depending on package or board ) Snorkeling gear /life vests provided Club rooms come with access to club pool/beach/snack and refreshment schedule at (the club) Food quality and variety . 3 restaurants to choose from with themed nights and selection for children Pool beach villa was spacious enough for family of 5 (one roll away bed used) nice pool deck and close to shore area Our room had a PlayStation installed Easy check in process with Ms MIni .Mr shervin is always around checking on resort guests Resort app for restaurants reservations /reception contact/ activity information

Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family. Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step. Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen. To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service. Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!

My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon at Centara Grand in the Maldives this past week. After almost 24 hours of travel, we arrive by seaplane to the island. We were welcomed by the entire staff, all with smiles on their faces. Within no time we were escorted to our room. We stayed in the Deluxe Over Water Villa and had the Ultimate All Inclusive Package. After settling in, I began to question our stay at Centara Grand because I did not fully understand their “Ultimate All Inclusive Package”, I assumed we would be able to eat and drink whatever we wanted, where ever we wanted. You get served 3 meals a day, and the rest is a la carte. Certain alcoholic beverages were not included in this package either. As I was unhappy, I contacted their customer service. This is when my new friend, Alok (executive housekeeper) came in and took over. We met at the lobby and went over everything that was included in our package. He took care of all of our reservations and appointments. From this point on, our honeymoon became exactly what we dreamed it would be. Alok is one of the friendliest and most accommodating people I have ever met in my life. He could work at any of the high end resorts in the Maldives. The food at all the restaurants was excellent. The couples massage was one of the best massages we have ever had. The only thing I wish we did sooner was upgrade to the Sunset Pool Villa. We want to thank the staff at Centara Grand for making our honeymoon so special!

We have just returned from our 8 night honeymoon at Centara, where we had the most wonderful time. Centara is a tropical island PARADISE! Our over-water bungalow was clean, tidy, cool, quiet and private. There's nothing more magical than waking up to the most beautiful blue water outside every window of the room! Our bathroom was modern, with a jacuzzi, and the vanity was stocked full of necessary toiletries- very handy if you travelled only with carry-on luggage, which we did (and I highly recommend; you don't need much here!) Centara runs an all-inclusive package, which made it so easy! We packed away our wallets in the in-room safe when we arrived and didn't take them out until we left. You will NEVER go hungry on the island, with Buffet breakfast and a choice of restaurants for lunch and dinner (Buffet, Italian, Thai or Japanese Teppanyaki). Afternoon Tea is served by the pool with a selection of cakes and sandwiches.The food was fantastic. So many choices for drinks at the bars/ restaurants too. I loved the frozen Pina Coladas :) I only wish the in-room mini bar had wines/bubbles as well as beer (I don't drink beer) Loved the daily massages and included tours. We went to the gym a couple of times; It's got what you need for a holiday workout. Hands-down, the best part of our holiday were the staff and other guests we met. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We cannot wait to come back to Centara!!

We just completed today our amazing stay at Centara Grand and I highly recommended. It is truly a five star experience: Pros 1. The view is spectacular. The weather and water temperature was perfect. The resort is spotless and super clean. 2. The infinity pool has a tremendous view of the sea. Bar and buffet right next door. 3. Snorkeling - lots to see including turtles, baby sharks, and many other beautiful fish. All rooms are also equipped with life jackets . 4. Food - I chose the all inclusive option and was totally worth it for us . Food is fresh everyday and many options. I included few fotos. We like The Reef, Thai and Italian restaurant. 5. Service - the staff is super attentive, helpful and hospitable. Special shout out to Chandani Jayatillaka, Mitchell (supervisor), Faruk, and food servers Husain, Hunid and Nada! You made our trip an unforgettable one. 6. Spa - Totally worth it. The Maldives Massage was incredible! 7. Non motorized equipment was fun and safe to use. 8. Even though many of the rooms are occupied the resort felt like is was never crowded. Lots of space in the beach all around the island. 9. Room- we got the duplex and it was all worth it. The rooms were large and had all of the tolietries you need. Large umbrellas are also provided. 10. Excursions are provided for an additional price. Cons We only stayed for 9 days and wished we had stayed longer!

Amazing villa. Amazing beach. And amazing staff. From reception to housekeeping, everyone was so attentive and helpful. I'm vegetarian, and the chef made sure I had plenty of yummy options at meal times. I am so grateful to have such wonderful and kind service staff! I stayed in the lagoon villa and it had an awesome view with a wonderful deck and small plunge pool. It was an incredible experience and I really hope to be back next year!

Fauna and Flora around. Nice plants and small animals (waterhen, crabs, bats, fishes,...) - snorkeling possible. Also accommodation was excellent - small fresh water pool in front of vila, private open bathroom behind. Spacious bed and surroundings - excellent stay.

My husband and I spent seven nights in an over the water lagoon villa. It was a dream come true! We absolutely loved our stay at Coco Palm and would return in a heartbeat if it wasn’t so far away. It was a very long journey from California but so worth it! The lagoon villa was just lovely and was extremely clean and exactly what we were looking for. The crystal clear and warm water was just amazing. We saw fish, sharks, stingrays and even dolphins right from our deck. This resort is quiet and we loved that. The resort said they were at about 70 percent occupancy but many times we felt like we were the only ones on the island. We loved the walks to the restaurant and bars through the jungle pathways which provided a respite from the heat of the beach during the day. Some have mentioned that the lagoon villas are far from the restaurants and bars, true, but we didn’t mind at all. In fact, we loved that. We felt more isolated and private there. Remember, the island is small to begin with. The stars at night were amazing! We often left our doors and windows open to allow the warm sea breeze in. We would sit out on our deck to watch falling stars while listening to the sea. We did half board which was perfect for us. The breakfast and dinner options were plentiful and delicious! We did the beach BBQ which was a must do. We also received wonderful massages and did yoga. Staff were excellent too! It is a special place and someday we hope to return.

We really enjoyed our stay at CoCo Palm. This is a well run resort very sympathetic to its environment. A genuine paradise island, not trying to be a flashy hotel, just being good at what it is. Food is of exceptional quality. The buffet doesn’t tire on you and their policy to allow a USD45 pp credit if you want to dine in the Thai restaurant is really good. Rooms are nice and big. Toilet and shower semi-outside may not greet everyone however it’s the same style in most Maldivian resorts (incl the premium ones) and something that really gets you closer to nature (ladies, honestly don’t worry, it’s fine) Highly recommended for those who want to really chill out WiFi is slow. If you want good internet buy a SIM card at one of the two mobile shops at airport (USD32 for 14days 15GB of data and calls) and you can even tether it to a laptop/iPad if you need to, it works really well. I read some of the negative reviews before coming to try and get a feel for the downsides but honestly can’t work out what kind of people left them as we didn’t experience or see any of the issues raised.

Das Personal war einzigartig: Die tolle Erfahrung begann mit der Abholung am Flughafen Male, fuhr fort mit der Begrüßung am Hotel & mündete in tollen Gesprächen mit dem Personal im Restaurant, dem Spa & der Wassersport-Einrichtung. Besonders positiv hervorheben möchten wir den Kellner Rifarth, die Dame vom Empfang des Restaurantes Neelam & den Koch Ryad. Alle waren stets ansprechbar, hilfsbereit & außergewöhnlich freundlich. Alle Wünsche wurden erfüllt. Lediglich der Herr von der Tauchschule wirkte auf uns so unsympathisch, dass wir nach dem Erstkontakt nicht mehr tauchen wollten - das ist aber sicher „Geschmacksache“. Zimmer: Wir haben das Hotel extra gewählt, weil wir nach etwas Bodenständigem & Gemütlichem gesucht haben. Das haben wir bekommen & sind zufrieden. Die Sunset Lagoon Villa lag sichtgeschützt & schattig zwischen vielen Palmen. Der private Strandteil war sonnig & zu den Nachbarn hin ebenfalls sichtgeschützt. Der Zimmerservice kam 2x am Tag & hat sich um alles gekümmert. Einrichtung und Ausstattung: Erwähnen möchten wir hier, dass einige Einrichtungsgegenstände „in die Jahre gekommen sind“. So hatten die Handtücher & Vorhänge im Zimmer teilweise Löcher & Flecken, die Teekannen & Sitzkissen im Restaurant teilweise leichte Risse bzw. Flecken. Auch dem Badminton- & Tennisplatz hat man sein Alter angesehen. Grundsätzlich alles kein Problem, aber in diesem Punkten könnte das Management zeitnah investieren, um das Erlebnis noch besser zu gestalten.

The all-inclusive was AWESOME! The restaurants were just 5-star top-notch experiences. The included excursions were a huge bonus as well as the free 3o minute facial as the spa is One of the nicest spa experiences I ever had (besides getting kicked out of the steam/ sauna/ hot tub/ cold plunge pool area) The staff are well trained, ALWAYS smell so good! They greet us with genuine greeting and don't treat us like we are pains in their asses.

Cleanliness was up to standard inside and out. The Beach Villas with your private pool have been perfect to relax and to enjoy some privacy & rest.
You enter your own garden through a gate into your home. There is a huge working desk, a closet with everything you could need inside. the bathroom which is completely outdoors. The toilet, one of the showers, the bath tub and sinks are under a roof in case of rain or strong sunshine. But there is a second outdoor shower which is completely open. It has been the best way to take a shower in the morning right after waking up. Beach Villa has access to the ocean which is perfect to go snorkeling.

What an amazing place! We have just got back from 6 nights and were blown away by this incredible resort. It is such a family friendly resort with plenty to do for kids and adults. Our children loved snorkeling to Nemo park, Kayaking, the main pool, hydrotherapy experience at the spa and the fabulous kids club! We loved the spa, cocktails at the adults pool and how easy everything was at the resort. The food was exceptional, we did not have a bad meal - the Indian had to be my personal favorite. Delicious! We were on the all inclusive deal and there was an extremely wide selection of wines, cocktails, ice teas, smoothies etc etc. The service was also fantastic everywhere we went - shout out to Hazeem for making sure we had the best week and Naresh and Vishal for their amazing attention to detail when eating in Iru and Bamboo!

It was our 3rd time in Sun Siyam and 2nd time in Iru Fushi. Location, service and food with AI were excellent. Great restaurants, especially italian restaurant The Trio was outstanding. Family pool was much better than pool for adults 😇 Welcoming and farewell were arranged on a top level 👍 Thanks for arranging wedding anniversary surprise for us! Additionally, we would like to express our appreciation to Antony (chef of the Trio) for best steaks, waiters Najulaan and Riyaz made our dinners exceptional 😎 Also, thanks to Samantha who made perfect and tasty crepes with nutella and bananas fir our children every breakfast in Iru Restaurant.

Beautiful setting and unforgettable sunsets. Fantastic location for people who value privacy. Spacious villas with great pool/garden. The resort is very clean and well maintained. Amazing service. Staff goes above and beyond to keep guests happy. Extensive all inclusive package (very good choice of beverages, 8 restaurants - of which 7 a la carte, 1hr hydro in a Spa per day - steam room, sauna, hot & cold pool, 2 excursions, wine tasting & more - all included in the package). Great choice of activities. Good value for money. Highly recommended!

All inclusive plan works like a charm and makes your holidays hassle free. We stayed with two kids at Beach Suite w/pool and Lagoon Villa and staff provided comfortable bedding for all. that was great All room types get a pool which is super to relax at the villa lots of dining and drink options to chose from. We liked Takrai the most Quite a few activities to keep you engaged. lots of venues and pool areas with beach to spend the day bicycles available on rent to explore the island don’t have to go far to see marine life we saw small sharks, sting ray sword fish etc closer to our villa staff at Restaurant and ambassadors are really helpful and efficient. night shows at together bar were great. performers are extremely skill full

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Siyam World and it was a wonderful experience that we will remember for a lifetime. The Resort has an excellent price-quality ratio, especially if you choose the all-inclusive formula. There are lots of activities to do during your stay at Siyam World, including many water sports or excursions (swimming with turtles, visit local islands, sunset cruise with dolphins). It is possible to rent bikes to get around the island, and there are several bars with swimming pools, scattered throughout the resort. In particular we loved the Mint Bar (adults only) perfect for relaxing, with a beautiful swimming pool and a wonderful view on the Sea. The food is amazing, there are 7 restaurants with different national cuisine, and they are all delicious, the breakfast and lunch buffets are huge and with lots of choice. Our ambassador Sabrina was very kind and took care of us for the entire duration of the holiday. All the staff in general is very friendly and helpful, for example my husband had a slight allergic reaction and the doctor of the Resort arrived immediately and helped us to solve the problem. There really is nothing we can complain about, Siyam World has made us fall in love with the Maldives and we hope to return there in the future. 💙🐠🏝️

So much to like. Perfect over water Villa with slide and dipping pool. Saw and swam with all sorts of wildlife without having to go any further! Though beautiful beaches and pools as well. Good choice of delicious food at the buffets and the table service restaurants. Staff happy and Soni who was assigned to look after us was excellent. First night good restaurant booking and no end of other queries. Also the sea plane transfer was super slick and quite exciting with it.

Myself and my partner had a fantastic experience from start to finish in Siyam world! Transport from airport to villa was very well organised, check in was smooth and we were greeted with a glass of champagne. All members of staff were very polite, friendly and always happy to help. we stayed in the water villa, what an incredible place! great bathroom with double sink, large bed and private decking area! not to mention the pool and slide. Mini bar was fantastic and restocked daily, cleaning was also immaculate. There was a great choice of restaurants, bars and activities to do so everyday can be different! You get to do free water sports that aren’t motorised. Motorised sports is chargeable. We took advantage of using a kayak, paddle boarding, and also got a free safari snorkel experience to another island. We attended a free marine biologist workshop followed by snorkelling to spot the fish we learned about. There is a sports bar on the island which is opened 24/7 with games, here you can book to play badminton/tennis. Our spa experience was also phenomenal! Our ambassador for our stay was ‘Lil’ who was fantastic, she was very attentive and kind. We could message her with any questions and always got a fast response. Thank you Lil!

Me and my wife planned our trip to Siyam World as our honymoon and the whole experience was beyond our expectations. No words are enough to express our happiness to spend 7 amazing days in the paradise. The hospitality is in so high level in every corner of the resort. We wanted our privicy but at the same time we wanted some entertaiments and joy. Siym World is world of everything…only adults areas, cozy restaurants by the sea, hight level SPA experience for couples, quiet night bars or funny night show by the pool. Good coktails, good food, amazing service and special attention to everyone. Our ambassador Pramith helped us so much to have the best vacation ever with friendly attitude and always with smile, giving us the right information or just saying Hello, how are you :). Every department and every employee in this resort deserves big applauses. Siyam World....we know you miss us, we miss you too and we are coming back soon ❤️.

If you want to enjoy, take the overwater lagoon villa with private pool as it’s amazing. Food is excellent for breakfast and diner. Special Big thanks to Chakir, Ameen and Saman.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Dhigali, the venue, staff, food and service was excellent. The all inclusive package was very good value for money. The food and options for dining over the Island we very good and we had no problem while we were there to book when we want to. We had a beach chalet with private pool (in the purple zone) and would do this again. Lover the experience with the Manta Rays.

The variety of the choices and the quality of the food for all A la carte restaurants were extremely good. Premium all inclusive was straightforward and clear from the start. Drinks were very good. Our choice Lagoon Villa with Pool had an amazing atmosphere with the sea view and the infinite pool. Viewing the sunset from our room was outstanding as well.

Amazing hotel! The room was nice and comfortable, love the outdoor bathroom! The beach was really nice as well. The swimming pool was great with quite a few activities (pool party, aqua fitness, etc.). The restaurant were really nice with a lot of choices (you can basically eat something at any time of the day).

Everything met our expectations. The Island itself is very beautiful, 80% of natural flora is preserved while building this resort, they have even a Jungle Walk, if you want to see how the island was when uninhabited. This is 100% barefoot island, I did not put my shoes on at all. The food is very tasty in all the restaurants and the choice is very huge. Villa was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Haali, the sunset bar is a gem, The East bar and main pool are a must, with so comfortable seating and live music in the evenings. We enjoyed also fishing and the glass bottom boat, while you can grab the snorkeling equipment and snorkel just outside your villa in the lagoon to see plenty of fish there. Last but not least they have a fantastic application, where you can reserve the table in all dine around, which is not common to the most of resorts, restaurants. Fantastic resort, fantastic stay! :)

We visited to celebrate a big birthday and the hotel staff went above and beyond to make it a special day. The over water villa with private pool was fabulous, although the room condition wasn’t perfect.

We booked and canceled several resorts before choosing OBLU Helengeli. Many advertised snorkeling, but it turned out they didn’t have a reef. We went to OBLU for the reef and were not disappointed. We had a great encounter with a ray and 2 turtles. Plenty of other fish, too. Our overwater sunset villa was beautiful, with a very large pool on the deck. The island plan all inclusive made everything

Alle Mitarbeiter (Empfang, Housekeeping, Köche am Buffet, Service im Restaurant und Bar, Boat Crew, Tauch Guides, Gärtner, SPA, etc.) waren ausnahmslos engagiert, freundlich, hilfsbereit und viele haben täglich gute Laune versprüht. Schade fanden wir nur, dass es die Sitzsäcke auf der Veranda der Rezeption nicht mehr gab, wo wir früher täglich bei kalten Getränken und Fingerfood den Sonnenuntergang als noch ruhigere Alternative zur Poolbar genießen konnten.

Overall a good stay. Reef is very good. Limited drinks on all inclusive and wine undrinkable. Food was plentiful and very good. Spa area and treatment were very good. Water villa is looking a little tited and in need of some TLC, for example the window leaks when it rains, tiles missing on the pool. Room cleaning was hit and miss, had to ask for water on more than one occasion as running out. The island is very eco friendly with its own desalination plant for water which is excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Property settings is unique for its tropical forests theme, the water villas are very nice. Transport from airport n back included at no extra charge. Rooms were beautiful n clean. Staff courteous n helpful. Prices were reasonable. Excellent family setting if u bringing kids. And there is also an adult only pool as well. Food was good. I did not like the mosquitos in the villa, the rocks in the beach, the drinks at bar were water down. Had to ask bartender to hit them hard. Only live music and no dj.

The staff were very attentive and friendly The villa was beautiful as you could walk straight outside onto the beach into the ocean It felt like paradise Private pool and jacuzzi was amazing Food was good Snorkelling

The resort was excellent, room large and comfortable, private pool and beach were great, I loved that there was no lizards or insects inside the room except for some ants (manageable), restaurants were delicious, staff were very professional and friendly, good amount of activities

The resort provided just what we need to disconnect and recharge. 4-days in paradise. We booked a beach villa (sunset view) with private pool as well as all inclusive and this combination provided everything we needed. For transparency if you are susceptible to heat/humidity please note that the bathroom is open thus gets very hot and humid. Do request a floor fan ahead of your arrival to help offset the humidity. The staff are great and will provide. I do recommended this resort and will return in the future.

The beachfront villas are amazing. Firstly, they are right on beach, with personal Cabana which is amazing to lay in shade during daytime and enjoy the ocean! Secondly the plunge pool is completely private... Food variety is very good with on demand BBQ for lunch and dinner...not extravagant but perfect for 4 night stay Sunset was amazing from our villa deck

Peaceful, private setting. Excellent staff. Adam, Rajesh, and Sai in the restaurant and Hassan, who took care of our room, were wonderful. The food was delicious, and there was a good variety. We enjoyed snorkeling the reefs at the property and its sister property a five minute ferry ride away and appreciated the complimentary use of snorkeling gear. Our room was right on the beach and had a private pool and hot tub as well.

Accommodation was perfect.Villa with private pool was spacious,cleaning twice a day.Staff absolutly excellent and helpful in everything. I recommend the all inclusive program.

Beautiful villas, private pool, excellent food, super nice staff

Friendly staff, facilities, over-water villa with private pool, turquoise water view from the water villas with plenty of baby sharks and colorful fish, resort pool with sunset views, activities, great snorkel, private beach, buffet, sunset cruise, scuba diving center at the resort. The chocolates/ cookies delivered daily in our room, the towels in the form of animals every day in our room, and the happy anniversary message on the bed.

Amaya resort was a paradise island - very small island, peaceful & relaxing. Duplex beach villa with private pool was extremely comfortable & spacious, with great views and direct access to beach & sea Staff were all extremely friendly Games room, Dive center and free bikes for riding the island provided good activities

We enjoyed our stay at Amaya, there were lots of great things about the resort, some of which are: - excellent staff, from the dining area, bar, spa and cleaning staff. Everyone was great at helping us out, hospitality was out of this world - The food was also absolutely great, there was hardly any day in which the food would be identical to any of the ones in the last 5-6 days. Lots of diversity each day. The desserts were especially good! - the beach suite with private pool was everything we could want; AC was working very well, the pool was cleaned daily. Three showers, two bathrooms, one small jacuzzi. Everything in the little house we had was great. - Infinity pool next to the bar, which meant we had also infinite drinks & cocktails coming one after another - Protected "lagoon", no high waves or currents; I've managed to see a stingray while snorkeling, there were also a big number of fish of various species; not as many as I've seen in other places though - Play area, gym, spa - we used those a few times over the stay; plus we also had a 30 min head massage complimentary for >7 nights stay - fishing trip, sunset ocean trip, island hopping - Small island but everything was quite spacious and good looking - Transfer by hydroplane was great, Amaya staff took care of everything for us. The plane left us somewhere at a stop in the ocean where an Amaya boat took us in. Overall we would enjoy being there again!

Such a beautiful place it is literally paradise. We went on our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been better. From the service to the food to the drinks all of it was amazing I definitely recommend all inclusive because the cost can really add up if you’re spending out-of-pocket so I’m really happy we went with all inclusive option . Also the romantic pool villas are not as nice as the other overwater villas even though they’re more expensive. The standard overwater villas are in a nicer part of the island and the rooms are much nicer we had the privilege to stay at both but preferred the overwater villas without a pool. Besides, you don’t really need a pool when you’re on the Indian Ocean .

Amazing experience, what a wonderful place, it was a paradise. The food was unbelievable and all the staff was so nice. The island is big enough to walk every night to different areas and not to get bored. It was good that there were a lot of restaurants and bars so we had a big choice. We did the photoshoot they offer and got unbelievable pictures. Overall we loved it. Had our stay split between the romantic pool villa and the beach villa and i think we liked the beach villa more. It was way more spacious and with direct access to the sea, almost like private beach. Also no matter how many guests there were, you can always find private areas around the island, and have awesome pictures. It was a paradise. Absolutely loved the lush vegetation!

Exceptional vacation, all employees very friendly, restaurant and bars very nice and delicious, never get the feeling that the island is crowded, in opposite. Room on the lagoon with swimming pool just exceptional. Sand beaches exceptional and snorkeling offer very good.

large island. you dont get bored. many beaches and pools. many restaurants

Food is amazing! Many options and all taste good. Umami is the best. Even though it’s not included in the all inclusive plan, it’s worth trying it at least one night. The chef Allen and server Aiman are very nice. We enjoy the food and service there so we go there twice in this trip. Cocktail is great too. The resort is large so they offer shuttle. The driver Mofijul is very helpful and we feel his passion to the job. Coffee is another highlight on the island. It’s impressive and recommended everyone to join the Latte Art class. The teacher (sorry I forget your name) is professional and he is the coffee expert. He answered all my questions. Scuba diving is exceptional too. The diving center is professional. We don’t have a diving license but we can still enjoy scuba diving. We are so lucky to see manta, sea turtle and small shark and more fishes. Amazing! I will definitely come back to this resort.

The best vacation ever!!! In every aspect! This is an absolutely amazing place with the most stunning clear sea water we’ve ever seen. Our villa on the water was one of a kind. Everything was so comfortable and pampering to the last detail. Perfection, nothing less! I would definitely recommend the water villa with a private pool. It’s worth every dollar!! Especially I want to commend the welcoming and warm staff and above all Hisam, our villa host who’s done his utmost to meet our needs and requests. And made us really feel we are the only guest on the island. I’d also like to mention the delicious food in all the restaurants of the resort and they even cooked for us again one of the dishes we loved (Thank you chef Karime). This was a dream! I really cannot even begin to describe the feeling we had waking every morning into this beautiful turquoise water... dipping in our private pool in the morning with the infinite ocean to our feet.. then snorkeling in the sea among beautiful fish and so on and on... Don’t miss this experience!

We have been on many trips around the world. The Baros Maldives trips is hands down the greatest trip. I think the beauty of the place is found in the size of the place and the services. The island is not huge and sprawling. Therefore, everything is at your fingertips. Want a massage? Walk 2 minutes over here. Want a GOOD bite to eat? Walk 3 minutes over here. Want a drink, a smoke, and to play some billiards? Walk 3 minutes here. Want to snorkel on a reef that other visitors on other islands have to travel an hour to do? Walk 5 minutes over here. They have their own house reef (which is rare in Maldives) with every possible marine animal you can imagine. Tons of colorful fish, colorful corals, sharks (do not worry they are not bad), rays, lobsters, turtles…a lot. Want to just chill in a pool? Well you probably have one in your villa, so walk 10 seconds to it. Or walk 3 minutes to the infinity pool. All of this is at your hands, so there is no wasted time. Instead of trying to figure out where you are going, you are already there enjoying. You cannot put a price on time, and this resort is a time-saver. The best vacation, and we have visited 30 countries. Shout out to our butler Reema, and attendant Shah. They were the best. Yes, you have a butler and attendant 24/7. Did I forget to mention that?

It is very nice resort in a small island. You can slowly walk around the island within 15-20 minutes. I tried both Baros Pool Villa and Water Pool Villa, and they were all very beautiful and comfortable. However, their dishes were not tasted as expected, and price were a bit expensive. Also, pay attention with bugs around the island.

Luxury traveller, have stayed at 3 big name 5 star resorts in Maldives. Was sceptical about booking this hotel as hotels.com had overwater bungalow, apparently with pool, for half the price of a beach bungalow at other places...it seemed too good to be true (I did book only 5 days prior to stay..) But I had read that the house reef was about the best in Maldives and I am a diver, and I could use my $500 hotels.com free night voucher, I went for it. I only had 1 night after a dive boat trip, but it was perfect. The overwater bunglaow was exactly that, the villa had the little 5* extras (flipflops, beach bag, raincoat, evian spray to keep), complimentary snack and bottle of wine - huge value in this country! I disagree with reviewer from Sept 2018 stay, it matched anything I've seen. Agree, no bikes but the island isnt that big. The rest of the complaints seemed to be about price - I got what an unbelievable deal at last minute so cannot comment. I do see the prices for 3 weeks time are back up to comparable to other. House reef AMAZING, I snorkelled for hours with hawkbill turtles, chased reef sharks, did a night dive. This is absolutely the resort for you if you love snorkelling. The Wifi was good, the buffet breakfast extensive (marlin sashimi!), but also with a la carte eggs/meat etc. Room service menu very expensive but if you got a breakfast/dinner package? Just confirm the transfer costs...hotels.com fineprint says US$238 return, I would get an email.

This was our first stay in Maldives. After days of researches and reading reviews on TripAdvisor, our friend recommended us Baros and we were not disappointed by our choice. The staff is absolutely amazing, they meet your every needs. They are extremely attentif and friendly. We have food intolerances (gluten and lactose which limits a lot ) and in all restaurants and at all time, our food requirements were meet with extreme caution and with delight. The chef came several times to talk to us and even made special dishes only for us. Everything was supper Yummy and fresh. The hotel has a beautiful house reef where we were able to snorkel every day around with no difficulties. It was a delight to discover the species and colorful fishes. The room are spacious, clean and are very comfortable with beautiful wood details. We stayed at a beach villa with a pool and it truly felt like being home. We did a lot of activities on the island from fishing, local island discovery, dolphin watching, night snorkeling and all were great. After one week at Baros, we extend another week because we really enjoyed our time there. I truly recommend this hotel.
