5-Star Hotels in Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

The rooms are average, the food and beverages are not rich but the products are excellent. The snorkeling environment is very good, you can see sharks and turtles. The service is pretty good, the room and yard are cleaned very well. The island is very small and only takes 10 minutes to walk around. You can participate in the hotel's snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin watching at reasonable prices. There is a gym but no swimming pool.

New resort on a paradise island. Great beach, liked the guys in water sports - all the equipment is new, working and the staff themselves are pleasant to talk to. The staff in the main restaurant is very smiling. They greet you with drums and see you off wonderfully, very atmospheric. Lots of food, good choice, delicious tuna, sometimes good meat. A lot of everything is included in the meal plan, for us it was even too much. The room is very hot, you can't live without air conditioning. We were at other resorts - there the villas have higher roofs and thatch on top, protecting the villa from overheating. This is not the case here, the villa is burning hot in the sun. The villa itself is very simple, like a house at a recreation center in Russia) there was not enough opportunity to connect the phone to the TV, more modern sockets, chargers. The air conditioner in the beach villa hangs opposite the bed, it is almost impossible not to catch a cold. The room includes a lot of drinks, wine. I don't know who can consume so much. As for me, it is a bit excessive. The hotel is new - there is no vegetation yet, it is very hot to move around the island, as there is no shade yet. There are breakwaters on the main beach opposite the beach villa, I did not see them in the photo. In fact, they certainly save you from the waves, but they spoil the frame) for beautiful photos I had to go to the water sports area. But the island is wonderful! Although not big. This is our third resort in the Maldives, I hope to return someday if the resort grows)

We chose the ocean water villa to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The positive side, the resort provided a lovely small cake for the occasion, arranged a photo session with a photographer and the food and drinks were delicious. The resort itself was spotless, and our host (Osama) was excellent, addressing all of our questions and a great guy! Major downside was the lack of privacy; the key reason we booked the ocean water villa was for privacy. Despite the website stating that drones are not allowed, drones were consistently used throughout the resort. One drone came within a few meters of our room and recorded us on the balcony and inside the room, clearly violating our privacy (see pictures, can't upload videos). I called the front desk who said they will let security know & later that day , another drone was hovering near the beach, recording the area again. I spoke to one of the workers, who said they would inform the front desk, but I could see the drone operator from the other side of the venue and resort staff stood nearby without taking any action for breach the rule. The frequent drone usage really compromised the privacy, especially in the premium rooms and was quite loud. I would recommend opting for a more basic room or venue if privacy is important to you. I understand that the resort is beautiful and drone footage captures it wonderfully, but the resort should consider allowing recording only at specific times and in designated areas, under supervision, to ensure privacy is respected and not compromised. That said, aside from the drone issue, the resort is lovely and conveniently close to the airport.

I visited Maldives for the second time and took a short trip to Velassaru with my 3-year-old baby. I had another wonderful time. Hygiene: I stayed in a sand house for 2 nights. Every day, the staff would take the initiative to ask if it was cleaned. The guy cleaned very carefully. I like his work attitude. Facilities: Because of the rainy season, the wind and waves were very strong. I originally planned to experience the Japanese restaurant Teppanyaki, haha, but it was closed on Sunday night. I didn’t make an appointment at other restaurants and couldn’t eat. I could only have a buffet dinner in the main restaurant. I want to praise Velassaru’s buffet. I personally feel it is still very good. It is more suitable for my taste than the previous one in Xiya Family. Haha, I didn’t get to eat the ice cream twice a day around the island. At that time, the children were either sleeping or digging in the sand, and they didn’t give me a chance to eat at all. Environment: The lagoon is super beautiful. It rained a little before going to the island and I was worried that the whole journey would be rainy. Fortunately, it was sunny the next day, and the photos were also very good, haha. Service: The staff on the island are very enthusiastic. They will say hello and tease the children when they meet.

If you're seeking late-night parties and DJs, this might not be the resort for you. Now, let's dive into the details. The resort is conveniently located just a 20-25 minute speedboat ride from Male airport. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the island is small enough to walk around in 15-20 minutes. We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool and half-board. The pool was shaded by palm trees during the hottest parts of the day, and the beach was simply perfect. The online photos might appear a bit dated, but the reality is much better. Our dedicated butler, Reema, was incredibly kind and attentive, making our babymoon special with hot baths, flower arrangements, and private celebrations. She took excellent care of us throughout our stay. The resort features three restaurants and a charming bar. The food at Lime, the main restaurant, was exceptional—everything we tried was delicious. Although the breakfast buffet wasn't extensive, it was complemented by an à la carte menu that offered a variety of tasty options. Lala made our dinners extra special with his food recommendations and attentiveness to our preferences. Overall, our entire trip was a success, and the Baros team truly made it memorable. Things to know: - Transfers are chargeable by the hotel. Ensure you inform them of your arrival flight 2 days in advance and get confirmation on your transfer. - The hotel is very relaxed and private, making it ideal for newlyweds, honeymooners, and families with older children. - The resort offers daily activities, including excursions, snorkeling trips, cruises, yoga, and more. Some activities are chargeable, while others are free, and all necessary gear is available at the Marine Center at no cost. We would visit again.

I love this hotel so much. Three nights in a sand house and one night in a water house satisfied all my yearnings for the Maldives, so much so that I felt a sense of disappointment when I switched to other hotels... Needless to say, the service is absolutely perfect, including SPA, beachside BBQ, and various activities at sea. They are great! Even when we left, they held a farewell banner and kept waving goodbye even though the boat was far away. It was really touching🥲Go back and move bricks and come back next year😘

I decided to travel during the National Day holiday and chose this hotel. The hotel provides speedboat transfers, which makes it easy to choose flights. The island is well-equipped, and the gym, water entertainment, dining, and water houses are all beyond my expectations. I recommend this hotel.

Not long after the hotel opened, the surrounding snorkeling environment is average, there are no corals, and there are few fish. It is far away from the four seasons. The design of the water house is very good, the filming effect is very good, and the food quality is very high

There was an initial problem trying to contact the resort to clarify certain things prior to arriving as emails were not responded to. However after this issue was rectified, upon arrival everything was superb, 5*. The resort is excellent and service is paramount. Food is very good and there are additional activities offered (charged). Well organised transfers from and to the airport and airport assistance was provided which was very good. Staff were friendly and willing to help at all times. Highly recommended.

I did a lot of research, so I thought I would see ”this is it!” everywhere, but I was impressed far beyond my imagination. It was well maintained, which is hard to believe for a hotel that has been around for over 20 years, and the staff were very unique and enjoyed their work, which was also fun. The breakfast had so many options that I never got bored even though I stayed for four nights. I tried the staff's recommendations and tried the daily specials, and my smile never stopped. The only disappointment was the weather and not being able to see any sea turtles. The weather was not quite clear, so... I went snorkeling at the spot three times, but still couldn't see any sea turtles... It was quite disappointing, but I still had fun seeing various fish and having a full moon dinner. Of course, activities and everything you do will cost you at resort prices, so if you have a lot of leeway financially, I think you won't get bored even if you stay for a long time.
