5-Star Hotels in Noonu Atoll, Maldives

A thorough review of our entire holiday, traveling as a family of 2 adults and a teenager. From the UK to Male airport we travelled approximately 15 hours (with a layover in Doha). We unfortunately missed our seaplane slot as we missed our interconnecting flight in Doha (due to the airline being delayed). We were escorted to the siyam waiting lobby. It was air conditioned and provided refreshments and snacks. We had to wait approximately 3 hours before we boarded the seaplane (this did quickly become very boring). The seaplane was a wonderful experience, yes it’s loud but what wonderful views. When we arrived at Siyam world we were welcomed with music, clapping, towels and a necklace which was a lovely touch. We were taken to the WOW lounge by our ambassador. We had a 30/40 minute in-depth discussion regarding the island, facilities, all-inclusive package etc. We were all extremely tired at this point and probably didn’t absorb the information as we should have. We took a ride on a buggy to our water villa by our ambassador. You communicate with your ambassador via WhatsApp. We stayed in a water villa with a slide and plunge pool. The villas have high ceilings with air conditioning and a fan. The free standing bath was a wonderful touch with the view of the ocean. The only down side to the villa we stayed in was the walls had patchy paintwork (I think it’s touch-up from the humidity) and we had an extremely hard mattresses for our liking (we were given a mattress topper by our ambassador). You can walk around the island but it’s best to wait for the buses (it’s quite a large island), they are around every 10 minutes and each bus stop has a TV screen with bus location. You can however flag a bus if you are not at a bus stop. One of the drivers went above and beyond to accommodate our family, he was amazing. WEATHER It was a consistent 29/30 degrees when we visited. We were anticipating some rain in August but in the two weeks we stayed it only rained one day. It’s quite humid and we were badly bitten by mosquitoes even though we were wearing deet spray everyday. ROOM SERVICE You have your room cleaned twice a day, you get fresh towels, dressing gowns and new bedding ever day. The mini bar is re-stocked everyday. The room service team are extremely polite, helpful and do a wonderful job. RESTAURANTS/FOOD SERVICE Download the APP in advance to pre-book restaurants and activities. We didn’t realise until we got there, so we were unable to book any of the restaurants for the first three days. You have to give your room number every time you order food or drinks. You get a bill in the restaurants which you have to sign (we got one for $845) it is part of your inclusive package but this worried us the first time. They do mark on the menus what is not included in the inclusive package (so just be aware). Tempo is a buffet style restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and themed dinner evenings. We personally loved Tempo, we found they had a good va

The hotel rooms are all good. The only drawback is that it would be perfect if it was closer to the ocean. The seat I stayed in was the first one on the ocean, so it was a bit blocked from watching the sunrise.

The room is very good, the scenery is particularly beautiful, the only regret is that my wife and I can't swim, the slides are not dare to play too much, but it is really beautiful, afraid of seasickness must prepare seasickness medicine, water will still be very hot, luck is better to assign a Chinese housekeeper, She introduced her surname Jiang, but some people said that her surname Jiang...🫢 is very presumptuous, but I still thank her very much. Our honeymoon trip is so simple and smooth. Other staff are also very enthusiastic. You will basically meet any requirements. If it is not very full, You can ask for suggestions to live together in phase 1 and phase 2 hahaha, dolphins are not active this month, it is also a pity, blue tears have been November, but Jani is a resort worth visiting, thank you very much for your company, the chef is also very intimate, will communicate. Special reminder, their ice cream 24 hours a day, the second row of left 1 milk tea tastes delicious, the right 1 what forgot, but mixed together is also delicious! !

Very good Not arranged to the Chinese butler but the overall butler service is good! The scenery is very beautiful, the environment is very good, the facilities are good, the children have children's center, the spa is the three restaurants of Clarins. The restaurant is very good. The teppanyaki of the tower is very recommended. There is also the hotpot of the main restaurant. Thanks to the Chinese restaurant Ruth and sales supervisor of the main restaurant. The care ~ water house sand house is great, sea sports are very rich, snorkeling is very convenient, children are also very happy! Will come again on vacation!

We have just returned from the beautiful Noku Maldives paradise, an island we first visited in 2014! There are many reasons we return here each year, but the main reason is the team that look after us and our surroundings , headed up by the wonderful resort manager Basil. Noku Maldives has recently been re- branded under the IHG Vignette Collection and this turned out to be a positive step in many details. We met the IHG general manager , Shahid, who is overseeing the development and he explained in great detail the improvements that were taking place……many of which we could already see. Our gorgeous sunset water-villa was waiting for us and was maintained beautifully throughout our stay. The housekeeping team, led by the ever smiling Ali, work tirelessly to keep the villa spotless. There were amazing artistic creations on our bed and in the bath, to welcome us back and to celebrate my birthday. The gardeners work tirelessly to ensure the beaches and gardens are perfect…..the beautiful fragrance of tropical flowers fills the air. The wonderful cuisine produced at Noku is amazing. Executive sous chef Nathan, went out of his way to produce an exquisite meal for my birthday……worthy of a Michelin star! He then repeated this on our last night , literally cooking all our favourite dishes…….the lobster was fabulous. Every day the selection on offer is incredible. The F&B team are always so attentive. Familiar faces Sujata, Mery, Nuwan, were joined by new members this year and they too looked after us like family. The beautiful spa is headed up by the lovely Sandra…..always smiling….and a wonderful doctor is available on the island….a great facility. Snorkelling on the reef was as magical as ever……..to swim with turtles, reef sharks and rays is an experience I will never take for granted. Our island host Andri, who was new to us last year, is the most amazing young man and is really passionate about ensuring each visitor’s holiday is perfect. We were so lucky to have him looking after us again. The Noku team at the airport also ensure that our arrival and departure is seamless…….something we are so grateful for. Thank you so so much to all the Noku Maldives team for another wonderful stay……we can never thank you enough. We will be back!

Breakfast is quite rich~ The service of the entire hotel is especially special nice~ It’s just that there are fewer cars. Very comfortable to live~ Thank you very much for helping me upgrade my suite for free. I am a 2200 plane at night, 7pm Check in. Arrange for me to take a 3pm ride on Seaplane and arrive at Male Airport at 4pm. Because I don't want to spend 80$ to go to the lounge and wait for 3 hours. So, the restaurant near Departure is waiting to be tormented. I feel that the return trip took me a day. Although the Resort has delayed my check-out time. In fact, I originally thought that I was waiting on the island~ Going to the airport too early~ Not happy Overall, there are still many wonderful memories.
