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!

Joali Being has got to be one of the most unique Well Being resorts in the world. From the moment you disembark the boat/plane and step through The Gate of Zero, you feel calm and already on a new page of your life journey. The team of around 400 employees at Joali Being know what you need almost before you know yourself and have everything in place for a transformational stay. Do as much or as little as you like at Joali Being, there is no judgement. Most of the facilities are hidden away beyond lush vegetation and unless you take a leap of faith and explore them, you won't know what you are missing out on. The most incredible gym and spa /treatment facilities I have ever seen in a resort, never mind an island resort.. and having experienced one of the specialty four pillar signature massages myself, I can tell you that you won't regret the decision to indulge as much as you can. Joali Being is a wonderful family friendly luxury resort, complete with a new kids club that any adult would happily want to stay in. If you are chasing a culinary experience , Joali Being can fulfill this need as well. The food was of the highest standard - using the freshest of ingredients and presented with incredible passion and finesse. You 'feel' the Joali difference the moment you step onto the island, and you won't want to leave.

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I stayed in an Ocean Suite Villa (#718) It’s huge. Upstairs, it has a bedroom with a TV and wireless speaker, a bathroom and a small balcony. There’s a large wardrobe with a safe and numerous drawers for your clothes. Downstairs you have a kitchenette with a sink, a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, a fridge with soft drinks and some chocolate, a fully stocked wine fridge and in the cupboards are some plates and glasses etc. Also downstairs is a large lounge that has a wardrobe and numerous drawers. There’s a glass section of flooring in the centre of the lounge to look down at the water. There’s a second bathroom downstairs so that you can have a bath or shower immediately when exiting the sea. (The water pressure in the showers is woefully low) Outside you have a large decking area with a double sunbed, a double sunbed swing and a table & chairs. You have a nice sized pool and steps that lead directly into the ocean. If you’re visiting from the UK, you don’t need to bring an adapter. British plug sockets are everywhere. You’ll also find a USB and USB-C socket by the bed. The resort has a house reef and the water in front of our suite was approx 1.3m high at high tide. There’s a lot of coral a few metres in front of the suites which you can only swim over into the deeper water at high tide and even then, you need to be careful. Take water shoes with thick soles if you’re not planning on wearing flippers. You won’t be able to navigate the sea floor without them. Also, bring rash vests to wear when swimming. The temperature at the beginning of December was 30° and so humid. We saw (and swum with) a variety of sea creatures in front of our villa including Reef Sharks, Eagle Rays, Parrot Fish, members of the Barracuda family (not harmful) and many, many colourful fish. The water really is crystal clear all around the island. It’s incredible. Whilst life jackets can be found in the lounge wardrobe, snorkel masks and flippers are not in the room, but are available from the dive centre free of charge. They can then be kept in your room for the duration of your stay and you need to return them at the end. In the Ocean Suites you’ll find: A decent and powerful hairdryer. A good steam iron and ironing board. A beach bag. Flip flops. Slippers. Dressing gowns. Big bottles of Elemis shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. A bath bomb. Bath salts Hand soap. A comprehensive vanity kit in case your luggage is a little delayed in getting to the island. The suites are just a few metres apart and whilst it does feel like you have a good deal of privacy, other guests will frequently swim past your suite. That didn’t bother me, but the occasional noisy neighbour did. I didn’t see an umbrella in the room which was surprising, as the weather can be very changeable, but the room category provides you with a butler that can drive you wherever you want to go in a golf buggy, or you have access to room service which does not incur an additional charge

We spent 8 days of our honeymoon at Joali Maldives and we had the best experience ever. The infrastructure of the hotel is perfect, the environment is great, very peaceful and relaxing. Every one from the team is so nice and caring. Our private butler Nouha was so sweet and took the best care of us. She was always willing to help us and she solved anything we resquested, in addition to being kind and very polite, she made our experience, at Joali the best. The staff was also amazing always doing the best to make us feel comfortable and feeling like we were at home. The food was great and everything was always very clean and organized. The spa is amazing, best massagem I've ever had.

We came here on our honeymoon and the scenery is very beautiful. Our Chinese housekeeper, Kim, is beautiful and kind, and his Chinese is also very standard, and he responds to every request. Because of the domestic epidemic situation, our marriage certificate was more than 6 months old, but Kim still helped us get a honeymoon package, which was a candlelight dinner on the beach, with a good atmosphere and delicious food. Flying to the island by water is the third stop, about an hour or so, and I saw beautiful scenery on the way. The water house we live in has good sound insulation, and there will be some waves at night, which is very helpful for sleeping. There is also an adjustable ambient light in the room, but you need to ask for a hot water bottle at the front desk. Hot water is more suitable for the Chinese stomach hahaha. The overall experience was great! The sky is very blue, the water is very clear, and the sand is very white. I will definitely come again if I have a chance!
