Positive: This hotel is truly special thanks to its unique barefoot island concept, which creates a deep sense of freedom. I would like to especially highlight a few team members who made our stay truly memorable. Gulzar was always in touch and helped us with all questions quickly and clearly. Her responsiveness and professionalism made everything smooth and easy. Dr. Sharma had a truly profound impact on my well-being. I had been experiencing sleep issues, and thanks to him I started breathing deeply again, fully and freely — something I hadn’t felt in a long time. He combines acupuncture, sound healing, yoga, meditation, and point massage, and is a true professional who deeply understands what he does. Prosanta always prepared wonderful breakfasts. His Eggs Benedict and omelets were especially delicious and made every morning a pleasure. He is also a very kind and attentive person. Fipit made delicious coffee for me every morning. She is very attentive, caring, and a true professional who clearly loves her work. Muthu, the bartender, is extremely friendly and always brings positive energy. He is great at lifting the mood and is always ready to help with any questions or requests. Thank you for such a warm, caring, and memorable experience.

Negative: None

Summary: Recharge that was much needed 🙌

Positive: The staff was incredibly kind and helpful with every need we had. The island ia very close to Male (20-25 min by speedboat) and it has a very nice house reef. The food was very good and varied and the massages at the spa were excellent.

Negative: The bathroom is next to the pool with no door between them and the door between the room and the bathroom can be locked only from the room side which is quite strange…

Summary: One of the best Maldivian resorts!
