5 Stars Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

This was a surprise trip for my husband's 50th birthday and we were travelling with my Son Esa aged 8. Once we got to our resort we were greeted and welcomed by Amine and the team. Amine was very welcoming and took us on a buggy around the resort to show us around and escort us to our room. Amine went out his way daily to stay in touch via WhatsApp and kept us updated about all the activities taking place daily. Our room was amazing and we had been upgraded to a beach pool villa:-). The bed was decorated and a welcome card/fruits were placed in our room. The boy's were so excited regarding the private pool. Our resort was amazing and had alot to offer. This resort in particular had a kids club hence why I chose this resort. Guest Relations were amazing and accommodating . Grace also from Guest Relations was very welcoming and came to see us. The restaurant /food was pretty good and had lots of choice. Esa being a child wanted his normal chips/burger or nuggets and was offered this separately which was great. All the restaurant staff was amazing especially Shafiq, Shauka and the team. They all went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and happy. Shafiq had his way of taking care of families and even bringing the yummy special desserts to our table. He would always accommodate us to the best table/view too. Shauka was the head operations manager for all the restaurants and I promise you he was always hands on and ready to serve you in whatever you wanted to eat. He would always go out his way for us especially for my son Esa. Even on the last morning we was leaving he made Esa his favourite waffles :-). Our last dinner was arranged privately by Mr Ejaz (Hotel manager) and Shauka so we can celebrate my husband's 50th. A beautiful table was set on the stilts restaurant with a cake and Shauka personally came to serve us with all the different foods we wanted to eat:-). Absolutely amazing he was. Esa really misses everyone especially Shauka. We had an amazing stay and experience at Villa Nautica. We have already said that we will surely be coming back again and recommending to our family/friends. Small comment regarding the ice cream served at meal times in the restaurant- it was not nice/very poor quality. It was like some powdered ice cream mixed.

We went to Grand Park Kodhipparu for our honeymoon trip and it was beyond amazing! The view, the accommodation, the service, the food, everything was perfect :) We are definitely looking forward to be back again!

From start to finish our experience at the Oblu Sangeli was incredible. It was our first time visiting the Maldives and it was everything we could have wished for and more. We stayed in the water villa and it did not disappoint. The room was beautiful and the access to the lagoon was amazing. It was great for snorkelling and had plenty of corals where we saw baby sharks, manta rays and lots of colourful fish! We embarked on the turtle snorkelling trip and saw many turtles which was wonderful! The buffet was great and we appreciated that they changed the dishes every day so you had a variety to choose from. A huge thanks to Chef Rahul who not only made excellent Indian food for us, but also became a good friend and was always so kind to us. Another big thanks to the waiter, Yathrib, who was so friendly and attentive to us and gave excellent service. This really made our experience even better. We also really enjoyed the fine dining experiences included in the Serenity plan. Both restaurants (just grill & just wok) served delicious food and a nice view of the sunset. A highlight for us was the pool as it was right next to the ocean and the view was incredible. We loved the slide leading into the ocean, that was a vey unique touch for the hotel and lots of fun at the pool party too and recommend you throw a pool party a couple times a week as it was great! We really enjoyed the live entertainment in the evenings and especially loved listening to Dee & Jay singing so beautifully! A highlight for us was definitely the excellent service from the staff. From the first day we could see that they were genuinely nice people and took pride in their job. A special shout out to the Sangs bar staff who were always kind and friendly to us. They made our experience better by just being genuinely nice people and their service was excellent! A big thanks to Pradeep and Lahiru who lead the team and always greeted us with a smile and made us feel at home. A huge thanks to Ibrahim and Madheeh who made us laugh everyday and gave brilliant service. You made our experience even better by just meeting you all. We will definitely return to the hotel in the future as it was the best holiday we've ever had! The Maldives is really paradise on earth! Don't think twice about booking to stay at this hotel because it's perfect!

Ma Dai returned without looking at the sea, which is true. Vallo Island is a newly opened island, which is a 45-minute speedboat ride from the airport. The island is all-inclusive including food, drink and fun. It has a wealth of activities, including sunset cruise, sunset fishing, snorkeling twice a day, various non-motorized water projects such as kayaking, and other paid motorized water activities, but these are free Is enough for you to play! Let's talk about the room types, there are sand houses, swimming pool sand houses, water houses, swimming pool water houses, I can guarantee that you will be stunned when you enter the house, because it is so great! The room is large and the facilities are good. The waiter cleans it very clean. The mini bar is replenished twice a day. There are various snacks, chocolates, coffee, tea and drinks. See the photos for details. It is also equipped with sunscreen and mosquito repellent lotion. Is it intimate? Finally, let’s talk about eating. The main restaurant has different patterns every day, so you won’t get tired even if the main restaurant is every day, not to mention the seafood restaurant Madai restaurant and the grill restaurant. Every day I will go to the main pool bar to drink juices to bask in the sun. It's so comfortable! All of this is free! ! !

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Only 25-30 mins journey by speedboat from the airport. Amazing first time in the Maldives. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. Every day there are free activities you can do like sunset yoga, snorkeling etc. Everything about this hotel is perfect. The only thing is the prices for some extra activities like dolphins trip, snorkeling with sharks etc are quite expensive (around 150$ per person). Alcoholic drinks vary from 10-25$ per glass but their bars have happy hours. Dinner buffet is 90$ per person. We tried the room service food, was quite good. In general, I would recommend this hotel to everyone. You won’t regret staying here.

The hotel is 45 minutes from the airport speedboat. There is no seaplane and there is a Chinese reception. The person in charge is very handsome, very responsible, the room is very good, clean and hygienic. Each room is equipped with a basin that can be used for punching. Preventing the sand from being brought into the room is very intimate and very user-friendly. I have two children in two rooms, and the extra children can have an extra bed. The hotel's service staff are very good, the drinking water supply is sufficient, and a bottle of red wine is also delivered. During the family's birthday, a small birthday cake is also delivered, which is great! The hotel water house is not the kind that I imagined to stick out from the beach. It doesn't feel as romantic as that. But overall is still very satisfied!

We had 4 nights 5 days stay at Kurumba Maldives. It was a very nice experience. The staff was good. The food was really very nice. Had good Indian food at Mahal . Specifically to mention “karuna” the girl at mahal was so sweet and cooperative. Breakfast was also very nice variety with few Indian options.Even the photo shoot at the resort was great fun. Very good ferry transfer service to & fro airport. To sum up a very nice n memorable experience at kurumba . Would really suggest.

It’s been 11 days since I came back to write a review. You can only upload 20 pictures, much more than that. There are also many small animals, such as lizards that appear everywhere🦎, manta rays that can be seen on the beach every morning, small crabs🦀️, many hermit crabs... We go snorkeling at Dhawa Ihuru opposite every day, and there are many boats to and from the two islands every day . Most of the staff at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru are very enthusiastic. Special mention should be made of Jien, the young lady at the front desk, who gave us meticulous care and attention~~ She is a Malaysian who can not only speak Chinese but also write Chinese, so awesome 👍; Khaleel who cleans the house every day is very serious and responsible; the three employees of our fishing trip, Captain Samsaad, Rauf and Faiz crew, helped us bait and teach us how to fish. In the end, we caught 10 fish, and we became The lunch the next day was delicious😋; One day when I was eating in a restaurant, I dropped the 50$ I put in my pocket, and Husham found it. Thank you very much🙏; Rajesh, who has been doing buffet barbecue, is very enthusiastic and has attentive service; needed What I particularly want to point out is that when I asked to extend my stay, Riyaz, who is responsible for the management of the two houses, helped to monitor whether there were vacancies. In the end, we were able to continue living in the original house without moving, and they gave us a very reasonable price. Thank you very much. 🙏; Also, one day the father of the child discovered that his brother Nazim was making a bird with coconut leaves (not sure if it was a coconut leaf, a long green leaf), so the father followed suit, and later 🈶️ a younger brother Shafdhaan took over to teach. Later, the father of the child learned to make different birds, and he also carried it forward and learned to make grasshoppers🦗, 🦐, 🦀️ by following the videos on the Internet, but in the end he learned the unique medicine ball here from the two brothers... It’s really good. ;The last thing I want to mention is that they built a traditional house of the former Malay locals on the beach for a few days. Alee and another employee (sorry did not remember the name) also gave us a detailed explanation... This is our This is the fourth time that Madai has been carried out. The scenery is still so beautiful and the corals are growing better. Our whole family really likes Madai and I believe we will go there again in the future. 😊

An absolutely fantastic experience. It was our first time in the Maldives and we had high expectations, which I am pleased to say were exceeded. The island is on the smaller size, but the limited number of villas means that it never felt busy. We were in an overwater villa, which was absolutely beautiful and kept spotlessly clean by the hardworking cleaning staff. The construction of the villas means that the overwater decking area is very private. Another highlight of the villa is the open air bathroom, the sound of the sea while you are showering is a relaxing experience on a different level. As noted the island itself is small but very beautiful. The vegetation has really come into its own, and they go all out on making it feel romantic with the way the island is decorated. There are several beaches, including a lovely small one with the best views of the sunset every evening. We found the food to be excellent, I really like the fact that it is not a full buffet every time, instead the restaurant is based around cooking stations with choices that change every day. The staff are universally excellent, and I cannot overemphasise how hard working they are and committed to making sure that you enjoy your stay. Special thanks to Richie for being a fantastic co-ordinator of our activities, Shruti and Yeshi for making sure our room was immaculate and Nabeel, Rachelle, Elin, Shamsul, Lana, Sapna, Merina, Teju, Alpi and Setal from the restaurant!
