Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor
Amazing staying
Recently stayed at the hotel, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel looks stunning as soon as you walk in. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome right away. My room was very clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The bed was super comfortable, and the sea view from the window was amazing. The food at the hotel was delicious. Breakfast had a great variety, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel has everything you need to relax — an amazing spa, a beautiful pool.
Kuda Villingili and Nylee: Extraordinaire, Luxurious, Impeccable
Had an amazing luxurious stay. What a spectacular resort and the hospitality is extraordinaire. Every one was so courteous, warm and ready to help. I would like to thank Nylee (our butler) for making our stay so comfortable and beautiful — she went that extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and seamless. She truly made me feel special and celebrated my birthday in the most memorable way. My kid has named her HIGHLY NYLEE — which means we highly recommend Nylee to anyone travelling to the resort. She is truly a GEM.
Exceptional and seamless luxury experience!
An absolutely amazing stay! Everything was incredibly seamless — from the stunning villas, excellent service, and delicious food, to the smooth airport-to-airport transfers. All the facilities were top-notch, and the entire staff was warm, friendly, and deeply welcoming. A special thanks to Auf for his outstanding help and exceptional service — he truly made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!
Perfect holidays
Amazing experience. Great structure, close to Malé, staff absolutely generous and attentive. Excellent gastronomy, including for children. We'll be back.
Little or nothing to snorkel off the beach. Some islands in this band run a free boat to a reef — the note below says whether this one does.
There is no house reef here, and we would rather say so. The island is man-made, the sea bed carries a lot of rubble, and snorkelling is done by excursion. What you do get: small coral patches near the water villas, baby sharks patrolling the lagoon edge, and deeper water on the sunrise side you can drop into at high tide. Book this island for the pool, the food and the surf at Chickens Break, which runs May to October. If snorkelling from your steps matters, we will send you elsewhere.
Getting there
Transfers run around the clock, so a late landing does not cost you a night in Malé.
