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.

6 time returnee to the Maldives, i personally think Joali has the best balance of what we look for as a family. It is luxurious, it is manicured, it has infrastructure, the service is extraordinary but it’s not in your face. Quiet luxury at its best. What Joali has that other resorts don’t is the immaculate and very accessible beach. The beach is extraordinary. It is large, the water is calm, transparent, 30 degreees. The sand is powder soft and without coral pieces! Check before booking about the coral because some resorts have a almost dangerous entrance into the sea. Other resorts have had to build rock walls in front of the OW villas, Joali hasn’t. The best villas are the sunset OW starting from 58 upwards. These face the sand bank which children can very easy swim to unaccompanied. The staff are divine, they don’t feel subservient but rather very happy to have you there and very happy to meet all your requests. Children are adored and kept very busy with a huge array of activities. But it doesn’t feel like a resort over run with kids. After visiting the likes of Soneva, i would say Joali kids program is better suited to smaller children maybe primary school ages and below. But this is an island where you can allow the children to roam free as there is a huge staff to guest ratio so they will always be watched. I especially loved how the staff would without being asked come and play and set up games with the kids. This was brilliant. Perhaps they could build a tree top area or a bigger kids adventure style set up. Not necessarily needed but just feedback. Food is good, the festive celebrations are triumphant. There is so much good quality food it’s almost overwhelming. Eat the local flavors, speak to the chef the local lobsters cooked Maldivian style are delicious! The villas are large spacious and most importantly they run horizontally across the lagoon. That way you are only meters from the ocean at all times. The one bed OW easily fits two children in the living room. Excellent on all counts, it’s my favourite “all rounder” resort. Compliments to management and the staff you are very kind hearted people.

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!

This is a true review that comes straight from my heart and is not 1% sponsored. Ifuru Resort is a 5-star luxury resort rated 100 out of 100 that I highly recommend. The facilities, underwater environment, restaurant, bar, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and beauty of the island were all excellent. There are no water villas, but the beach villa is very close to the beach. As soon as you enter the water, you can see colorful corals and giant clams, and the house reef is close and great. We snorkeled every day and had long free swims with turtles, eagle rays, and black tip sharks. It's like this even if you just go out in front of the beach villa instead of taking a paid excursion. First of all, Ifuru Resort, newly opened in 2023! Located in Raa Atoll, Maldives, we traveled by seaplane + speedboat. Since it's a new resort, there aren't many reviews, so I was worried and decided to refer to the resort's official Instagram and YouTube introductions. Among Koreans, we seemed to be the first to visit. When I actually went there, it was a 5-star resort so great that I could give it 100 out of 100! Stylish and luxurious room conditions and facilities (even the hair dryer is Dyson), truly warm and friendly staff (I still really miss Ari, Rocky, angel, Juli, Nikki, Quineee, kuva, Rudy isuru, muni, RN Adhla) , Mode, a very kind female employee at the waterfront restaurant who always had her hair neatly braided (I suddenly can't remember her name), and Rochelle, a very kind and warm general manager, who remembered and looked after each and every resort customer, and cared for and loved the employees. We were impressed by the appearance, and the resort staff were very courteous and friendly, as if they were guests invited to their own home, and they did their best to take care of us. That's why we really want to go to Ifuru Resort again. I still look at videos and photos taken at Ifuru every day.

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.

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.

I’m actually still here for the next 2 hours. The week has neither raced or dragged. There are possibly a couple of dozen niggles that I could mention but, they really are insignificant. The island invites everyone to believe the blueness of the sea, the fantastic weather and the dipping of toes into the feel of exclusivity. Our 7 days have been with around 30 minutes social media, no TV, 100 pages of a book and pure bliss. The set up, the wonderful staff, the other people on vacation (from all around the world) and the trivial conversations that are throw away. The stars are the sea, the sky, the entrance by seaplane and/or speed boat, every hermit crab, shark, ray, flying fox, the myriads of reef fishes. Each grain of white sand a pleasure to walk on. Sadly, thanks go awry to all of those. That leaves the thanks to the wonderful staff in every department. Every one excelled. It does come with the caveat that having found paradise, everything else falls woefully short. For us, it’s goodbye for now as, we have every intention of returning as frequently as we can with a minimum of once a year. If you’ve reached this part of the review, look at the bank balance or credit limit and book. You won’t regret it.

The room is not big but it is sufficient. Let me talk about what I am not satisfied with: 1. Free snacks and drinks were provided in each room during the stay. On the premise that the housekeeper and cleaning staff gave tips, no snacks were provided on the second day of stay. After the housekeeper helped to coordinate, the hotel insisted that it had been repaired, as if I was dishonest. Although the items were small, I would never give in on matters of principle. I continued to negotiate with the housekeeper, and finally made up for the snacks that were originally supposed to be there. 2. Most people may take the sand first and then the water. Everyone in the sand house has a pair of flip-flops, but they don’t have them in the water house. No one ever reminded me of this. I thought I would have new ones when I moved to the water house, so I didn’t bring them with me. Fortunately, I brought my own flip-flops. 3. This is not my first time in Madai, but it is my first time to see big cockroaches in Madai. In the restaurant next to the water house, a fierce little beast swam quickly through the gaps in the placemats, scaring me and screaming without any preparation. The waiter in the restaurant turned a blind eye. It wasn't until long after I changed tables that someone who seemed to be in charge came over and said sorry to me. Also, some of the placemats are a bit sticky, so I don’t know how often they need to be cleaned. 4. One day when I opened the faucet in the water house early in the morning, it was filled with dark brown liquid. It took me a long time to recover before I remembered to take a photo as a souvenir.
