We just came back from this resort and are already planning our next vacation at the same place. We stayed for two weeks in a standard beach villa and liked everything, the most important for us being the house reef. The house reef: simply outstanding, daily encounters with the sharks, turtles, whole families of the eagle rays, porcupine and boxfish, moray eels and so on. We enjoyed snorkeling at least twice a day and were never disappointed. The food : simple but good, with Italian influence. One could find pizzas and pasta at a daily basis (pasta with speck and safran sauce is my favorite). Every day the resort changes the theme of the diner, my favorite being Maldivian, we had it twice during our stay. Live barbecue with meat and fish, live naan station (just excellent) as well as other dishes from all around the world. We also booked the lobster dinner, while being a bit too expensive, it was one of the best we had so far. The Chef prepared an excellent lemon butter sauce that was just perfect for the lobster, highlighting its delicate taste. Thanks to the General manager Jaco we also had one diner at the a la carte water villa restaurant, we liked a lot the romantic setting, lounge music, service and of course the food. The excursions: we went on a whale shark excursion and were lucky to see two different of them. In our sixth’s time in Maldives it was the first encounter, what a beautiful experience ! We also went on the night sharks snorkeling and had seen at least 30 friendly nurse sharks of different size, it was impressive and beautiful. Finally, we went on manta safari and unfortunately haven’t seen any, but we will try again the next year. The resort also organizes the house reef snorkeling excursions twice a day (free of charge) with the marine’s biologists. If you are not a confident swimmer and/or would like to know better the marine’s life, I highly recommend to give it a try. The shop: I loved this shop.

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

The staff were great, they really worked hard to make us feel at home and pampered! The beach dinner set up was fantastic 😍

I absolutely loved it at spendeur grand! Everybody was incredibly hospitable! Fazeel was exceptionally helpful and patient! The snorkeling was amazing! They even took us to a huge lagoon in the middle of the ocean which was not part of our snorkeling tour. Loved it!!

Everything. The location in the island was unbeatable, next to the pier to see the sharks. The staff? EVERYONE was great, and Abdulla (hopefully I spelt it correctly) was SO KIND. The welcome to the hotel was incredible, and it really felt like they were there for us for anything. Also, the property was incredible. The best indoors we've seen in the Maldives, especially for guest houses. All and all, we agreed that having chosen their guesthouse was one of the best decisions we made on this trip.

Very nice and comfy place and the best hosts!

Our 5 night stay at Hitha was very enjoyable. The accomodation was comfortable, the location - a few minutes walk to the best swimming and snorkelling beaches - was perfect, especially for our 4 year old daughter. The breakfasts on the beach were tasty and memorable. We also booked a few delicious dinners with Hitha which were also served on the adjacent beach. The staff were communicative, helpful, kind and thoughtful. We all look forward to coming back!

Very nice room, clean and confortable. Food is excellent thanks to the Chef. Very professional staff.

The property is fantastic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It feels boutique, but has facilities of a large hotel (5 restaurants, gym, spa..)
